The new and improved list,would love your thoughts please, I really need to narrow..

I have been all over the place- went off the naming deep end, LOL! but I have gathered myself back, and was able to make a real list…So here is where we are. After much thought. Meanings are a big deal, and the following combos have meanings that I feel are very special in one way or another. I would love to know out of these your favorites… I am Trying HARD to narrow my list to three. Last names starts with Es and ends in “ah”
Our other children are : [name]Maggie[/name], [name]Jonah[/name], [name]Kelsey[/name]-[name]Rose[/name], [name]Emma[/name], [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Levi[/name], [name]Isaiah[/name], [name]Sophie[/name]-[name]Claire[/name], [name]Sarah[/name] [name]Katherine[/name], [name]Serena[/name]
if this baby is a boy he will be named [name]Luke[/name] [name]Elliot[/name] .

[name]Hannah[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name] ( grace, wished for child, God’s precious gift) - totally still trying to talk hubby into [name]Hannah[/name]!!

[name]Hannah[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Jane[/name] ([name]Grace[/name], Happiness, God’s precious gift)

[name]Leah[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name] (weary, wished for child, God’s precious gift )

[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name] (bringer of light, wished for child, God’s precious gift)

[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] [name]Jane[/name] (bringer of light, Victorious, God’s precious gift)

[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name] ( [name]Lilly[/name] of peace, wished for child, God’s precious gift)-my sweet [name]Susannah[/name], hard to read without [name]Joy[/name] though…

[name]Amelia[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name](work, wished for child, God’s precious gift)- this may be too close to [name]Emma[/name]???

[name]Vivian[/name] [name]Jane[/name] (life, God’s precious gift)- I just fell in love with [name]Vivian[/name]!

[name]Olivia[/name] [name]Jane[/name] ( peace, God’s precious gift)- popularity still deters me from [name]Olivia[/name], but maybe I am over thinking it…

[name]Anna[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Jane[/name] ( [name]Grace[/name], joyful song, God’s precious gift)-I think this is pretty, but I find [name]Anna[/name] a bit plain.

Thoughts?? Thank you for hanging in there with me!! :slight_smile:

The names I like from your list:
[name]Leah[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Amelia[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Vivian[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Olivia[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Jane[/name]

[name]Hannah[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name]- I really like all three names, but I don’t think that the transition from [name]Hannah[/name] to [name]Evelyn[/name] is the best.

[name]Hannah[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Jane[/name]- I like this one! Better flow.

[name]Leah[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name]- Hmmm… a little better transition than [name]Hannah[/name], but it still bugs me for some reason.

[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name]- I like this one, as well! This is my favorite of the _________ [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name] combos.

[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] [name]Jane[/name]- Okay, but I’m not a big fan of [name]Victoria[/name].

[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name]- This is okay… I’m still a little bothered by the “ah” to “eh” transition, but the overall flow of this combo works fine.

[name]Amelia[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name]- I don’t really think it’s too close to [name]Emma[/name], but that will come down to personal preference.

[name]Vivian[/name] [name]Jane[/name]- I really like this one!

[name]Olivia[/name] [name]Jane[/name]- I have the same issue with [name]Olivia[/name]… so pretty, but a bit too popular for my taste.

[name]Anna[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Jane[/name]- I personally like [name]Anna[/name]. Although it is popular and simple-sweet, it is a timeless and elegant name which will never go out of style.

And, can I just say, I love how you have put so much thought into the meanings! It’s really refreshing to find a kindred spirit who loves classic, Biblical, and meaningful names :slight_smile:

My favorites are:

[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name]…but personally, I’d go for [name]Susannah[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Jane[/name]…also not sure of your surname…does the ‘ah’ ending of [name]Susannah[/name] work with the echoing ending? I assume it works since you also have a [name]Sarah[/name], a [name]Serena[/name], an [name]Isaiah[/name] and a [name]Jonah[/name]
[name]Hannah[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Jane[/name]

Good luck!

I think [name]Amelia[/name] and [name]Emma[/name] are a bit close…

I like your [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name] combos the best, and i think [name]Leah[/name] and [name]Lucy[/name] sound the best with your other kids’ names.

My pick would be either [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name] or [name]Olivia[/name] [name]Jane[/name].

Here is the deal with [name]Grace[/name] :wink: no, she is not gone… But I am trying to get hubby to think on other options. I love [name]Grace[/name] too, but we have used it… [name]Emma[/name].s name is [name]Emma[/name] [name]Addison[/name] [name]Grace[/name] … While she said she disn’t mind at all, she is 11… And I just have something in the back of my head having a hard time getting past “re-using” a name… Having said that, hubby has also mentioned just naming the baby [name]Gracie[/name]… As it would be different… Well, a little different… I think [name]Gracie[/name] is cute, but to me it is a non… Hubby then comes back with well, we have a [name]Maggie[/name]… Point taken, we do… But she was named after my great grandmother who was [name]Maggie[/name]… So… Am I over thinking [name]Grace[/name]/[name]Gracie[/name]??? What do you think??

Yes, I see what you mean. I do have a pull to names that end in the “ah” sound, as I love the way it sounds with our last name, and I just feel they are sweet, feminine burly sounding…

The Ee sound as in [name]Lucy[/name] I know I love too, as we have [name]Maggie[/name], [name]Kelsey[/name], [name]Sophie[/name]…
Lots to think about, but you bring up good points!

Yes, I see what you mean. I do have a pull to names that end in the “ah” sound, as I love the way it sounds with our last name, and I just feel they are sweet, feminine girly sounding…

You’ve put so much thought and consideration into naming this child that I’m sure whatever you decide will be wonderful! :slight_smile:

[name]Hannah[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - [name]Hope[/name] your husband comes around to [name]Hannah[/name]. I prefer it over [name]Anna[/name]. It’s soft and pretty.

[name]Hannah[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - This combo is gorgeous and I slightly prefer it over the [name]Evelyn[/name] combo. I think [name]Hannah[/name] is gorgeous albeit popular.

[name]Leah[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - [name]Leah[/name] and [name]Levi[/name] are too similar for my comfort level.

[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name]/[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - I love the sweet [name]Lucy[/name]. If you don’t mind that it has the same initial as [name]Levi[/name] and you won’t get to use [name]Luke[/name] [name]Elliot[/name], this is a pretty choice. I think [name]Victoria[/name] “looks” better because it doesn’t have a “y”.

[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - I loved [name]Susannah[/name] [name]Joy[/name] too but this combo does flow well. My only issue: another “S” initial may be too much for girls so close together.

[name]Amelia[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - Yes, it’s too close to [name]Emma[/name] for my liking. It’s a pretty combo though.

[name]Vivian[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - I like this combo very much with I don’t like that [name]Vivian[/name] begins with the same letters at the end of [name]Levi[/name]'s name. Why I notice these things is beyond me!

[name]Olivia[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - A beautiful name that is very popular.

[name]Anna[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - too similar to [name]Emma[/name] for me so that’s why I prefer [name]Hannah[/name]. Have you considered [name]Joanna[/name]/[name]Johanna[/name]?

I can not explain why, but I have never been a fan of [name]Lucia[/name]. we lived in a south American country years ago, and [name]Lucia[/name] feels very tied there for me, I knew so many [name]Anna[/name] [name]Lucia[/name]'s…

Hubby LOVES [name]Eleanor[/name]. She has been on our list for years, and a serious contender. However, I have held back from [name]Eleanor[/name], simply b/c to me, she does not have the pretty, frilly feminine appeal I find in my other daughters names. I feel she is just to the point, though yes, beautiful meaning… Again I could be wrong…

I think [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name] is a perfect fit with your other kid’s names!

Edited for privacy.

:slight_smile: thank you!

[name]Lovely[/name] names!

My favorite three are:

  1. [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
  2. [name]Susannah[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
  3. [name]Hannah[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name]

I just have to add… I love the suggestion of [name]Eliora[/name], I do not believe I ave ever heard that before…very pretty!

I know you’re trying to narrow down, not widen…but…what about [name]Graciela[/name]? You seem to like names with the feminine “a” at the end, and it’s another way to get to [name]Gracie[/name] without really re-using [name]Grace[/name].

[name]Viviana[/name] is also so pretty.

Hey!

[name]Hannah[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - I love [name]Hannah[/name] because it means “grace” without being [name]Grace[/name], which should be a positive for you and your husband. I agree with other posters that there is a better name out there to flow with [name]Hannah[/name] other than [name]Evelyn[/name]. Have you used [name]Abigail[/name] before? Because [name]Hannah[/name] [name]Jane[/name] [name]Abigail[/name] E. would be pretty. I like [name]Hannah[/name] [name]Jane[/name]. And [name]Abigail[/name] has a fantastic meaning…

[name]Hannah[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - And there we go! [name]Felicity[/name] pairs much better with [name]Hannah[/name] than [name]Evelyn[/name] in the flow department. I would argue that [name]Hannah[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] is enough of a name, but [name]Hannah[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Jane[/name] is pretty. And, of course, honors daddy.

[name]Leah[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - In the meaning department, how does [name]Leah[/name]'s meaning beat any other? “Weary” isn’t as nice as some others in contention. The story of [name]Leah[/name] is a nice one, so I see where you’re coming from, but with a [name]Levi[/name] already, I think [name]Leah[/name] has to go - it’s just way too close!

[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] is pretty. [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name] leaves something to be desired as far as flow. I like how [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] E.'s initials would be [name]LEE[/name], which I believe is a family name?

[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - This was one of my suggestions, so I’m a little biased. Ha! I love the meanings together. So powerful and pretty. I think [name]Victoria[/name] is a really strong classic that you don’t hear around every corner today, and I think she adds elegance to [name]Lucy[/name], which is more youthful.

[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - The flow here really isn’t doing anything for me, I’ll be honest. And, after [name]Sophie[/name]-[name]Claire[/name], [name]Sarah[/name] [name]Katherine[/name], and [name]Serena[/name], having a [name]Susannah[/name] just seems, I don’t know! I want another initial in there! :wink:

[name]Amelia[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - [name]Amelia[/name] and [name]Emma[/name] are both in the [name]Emily[/name] family, meaning they share a root, similar to [name]Elizabeth[/name] and [name]Isabel[/name]. So, yes, I would say [name]Amelia[/name] and [name]Emma[/name] are too close. I don’t care for the flow of [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name] at all, and I honestly think [name]Amelia[/name] is too long with your last name.

[name]Vivian[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - If you’re going to use [name]Vivian[/name], and I think it’s superb with your last name and a great choice after [name]Serena[/name], you should include another middle name between [name]Vivian[/name] and [name]Jane[/name]. I’m thinking [name]Vivian[/name] [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Jane[/name] E. is the best option on the table.

[name]Olivia[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - If you have a reason to kick a name off your list, why don’t you? If you have others you favor, I think you’re at a point where you can say “no” to a name like [name]Olivia[/name] and not have regrets. [name]Olivia[/name] is a beautiful name, yes, but it is popular. Is that a huge deal? I guess not. I’d also argue [name]Olivia[/name] is a little long with your last name. You get a little melody overdose with that combination.

[name]Anna[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Jane[/name] - This combination pairs three complete classic names. You started that with [name]Sarah[/name] [name]Katherine[/name]'s name, but by adding [name]Lea[/name] ([name]Lee[/name]) in there, you gave it a little something different. [name]Anna[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Jane[/name] has no “different,” so maybe that’s why the entire combination feels a little plain to you? [name]Say[/name] if you used something like [name]Anna[/name] [name]Cecily[/name] [name]Jane[/name]. A little different, huh? But, [name]Cecily[/name] doesn’t have a great meaning. However, it does relate to [name]Cecilia[/name], and [name]Saint[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name] was a virgin martyr and patron saint of music. You could also do [name]Anna[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Jane[/name], which adds a little something extra to the combination.

I’ve got another one to throw out randomly at you - [name]Laurel[/name]. I think [name]Laurel[/name] sounds very pretty with your last name, and it’s a sorely underused, gentle botanical name. [name]Laurel[/name] means “laurel tree,” but the significance is much greater. The laurel was used to fashion laurel wreaths in Ancient Greece, given as a symbol of status and prestige. In Ancient [name]Rome[/name], the laurel took on the meaning of victory and honor, hence terms like “poet laureate.” The laurel symbolizes prosperity in the Bible, and is used to symbolize the resurrection of [name]Christ[/name] in [name]Christian[/name] faiths. I think [name]Laurel[/name] pairs nicely with another underused virtue name like [name]Amity[/name], which means “friendship,” finally paired with [name]Jane[/name]. [name]Laurel[/name] [name]Amity[/name] [name]Jane[/name] E., maybe? I also think [name]Laurel[/name] [name]Susannah[/name] [name]Jane[/name] is pretty, or perhaps [name]Laurel[/name] [name]Vivian[/name] [name]Joy[/name].

I so have loved following this naming journey. I cannot let go of [name]Anna[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Jane[/name]. I find it so beautiful. Classic and elegant but plenty of cute nn for when she’s little.

That said, your options are lovely and you really can’t go wrong. My next favorite would be [name]Hannah[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Jane[/name].

[name]Vivian[/name] [name]Jane[/name]! I’m starting to really love [name]Vivian[/name].
