So our two daughters are [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] and Magdalenne [name_f]Sanne[/name_f]. We didn’t mean to do all double letter names, but now that we did, we feel like maybe we should do the same for #3 on the way. (This has been a bit of a struggle!)
Recently we both found we like the name [name_f]Montserrat[/name_f], but I said only in the middle slot because I wouldn’t want her called “monster rat”.
So I turn to you: suggestions for a first name (with double letters) to go with [name_f]Montserrat[/name_f] and our girls’ names??
Thanks, everyone! DH really loves [name_f]Hannah[/name_f], but I feel like I know too many. I like [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] (but without the double letters). I know it’s popular, but we don’t actually know any Isabels (or Isabelles). [name_m]How[/name_m] important do you think the double letter theme really is? One other point that we realized after-the-fact is that both my first and middle name also have double letters!
We have 2 daughter’s who accidentally have double letters, [name_f]Lilla[/name_f] and [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], as does my husband’s first and middle [name_m]Ross[/name_m] [name_m]Allen[/name_m]. So I completely understand where you are coming from. We are expecting our 3rd and we just focused on finding a name we loved. Our front runners were [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] and [name_f]Tess[/name_f]. In the end we went with another double letter name. I don’t think you need to feel tied to that, more of if you find a name you love it’s a bonus.
I think [name_f]Isabel[/name_f]/[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]/[name_f]Isobel[/name_f], [name_f]Arabella[/name_f], [name_f]Phillipa[/name_f] or [name_f]Camellia[/name_f]/[name_f]Camilla[/name_f]/[name_f]Camille[/name_f] would be lovely with your daughters.
I don’t think most people will notice at all. There certainly are plenty of double-letter names to choose from, but I don’t think you are in any way obligated to choose one just to stay thematic.
My oldest two children both have “A” names–not on purpose, but because those happened to be the names we loved. When we were expecting our third, I fell in love with yet another “A” name, but my hubby said, “Twice is a coincidence. Three times is a pattern.” I’m really glad I listened, because I probably would have felt even more obligated to find another “A” name for babies 4, 5, and 6, and we would have either missed out on a few great non-“A” names, or had to field questions about not holding the the original pattern.
Unless you’re certain that this is forever and finally your last baby, you might want to consider whether or not you’d like to continue to saddle yourself with the double-letter requirement. Can you come up with a few more that you’d truly love? What about for boys? Anyway, something to think about. HTH.
I agree with above. The double-letters is not a big deal.
That being said, I suggest
[name_f]Vienna[/name_f]
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Rochelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Terra[/name_f]
[name_f]Tiffany[/name_f]
[name_f]Arianna[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Dianna[/name_f]
Thanks again!! Leaning toward [name_f]Camille[/name_f] [name_f]Montserrat[/name_f] at the moment… But knowing us, that could very easily change between now and due date!!
