Thinking ahead; sibling for Konrad and Louisa

Girl Names

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries!

I have two little sweeties, [name_m]Konrad[/name_m] [name_m]Wolfgang[/name_m] (3) and [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] (1). My husband and I are discussing the reality of a third baby (yay!) and my mind is already excited about the name possibilities! My family is super into our [name_m]German[/name_m] heritage, so we would probably stick with that theme, but it’s not a deal breaker if the perfect name came along.

If we were to have a boy in the future his name would most likely be [name_m]Frederick[/name_m], nn [name_m]Fritz[/name_m]. But I’m super stumped on girls names. I just don’t like anything as much as I like [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]'s name. I also like [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_f]Greta[/name_f], [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] and [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] (but I’m unsure about any of the longer forms of [name_f]Minnie[/name_f]! Niece’s name is [name_f]Filomena[/name_f] so that kind of rules out [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f]). DH adores [name_f]Hildegard[/name_f] nn [name_f]Hildy[/name_f], but I’m not sold…

I appreciate any suggestions you could toss my way, or any affirmations of our current choices!

I adore your little ones’ names! I remember when you were naming [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], haha!

I’d suggest something classic like [name_m]Konrad[/name_m] and [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] (and [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]) like;

[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Edith[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]/[name_f]Klara[/name_f]
[name_f]Adeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Johanna/name_f
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]/[name_f]Karoline[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]

Both [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] and [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] could be nn [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] too :slight_smile:

I’ve always really enjoyed your sibset too :slight_smile: Loving [name_f]Greta[/name_f] and [name_f]Frida[/name_f] (she could also be [name_m]Fritz[/name_m]/[name_u]Fritzi[/name_u] from time to time!) especially with [name_m]Konrad[/name_m] and [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] - I think you need something with a bit of bite to match up. [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] as [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] are, I think they are a bit too dainty and ladylike next to your other kids’ strong names.

Other ideas:

[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Vita[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
[name_f]Minna[/name_f]
[name_f]Minerva[/name_f]
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
[name_f]Claudia[/name_f]
[name_f]Fenella[/name_f]
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f]/[name_f]Pippa[/name_f]
[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Erika[/name_f]
[name_f]Annick[/name_f]/[name_f]Annika[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f]
[name_f]Frederica[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Fritha[/name_f]
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f]

Hmm…

From the names you’ve looked at so far I think [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] is great and sounds lovely with [name_m]Konrad[/name_m] & [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]. From the girls names you’ve looked at I like [name_f]Greta[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] is cute but doesn’t have the same sophistication as [name_m]Konrad[/name_m] & [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] therefore for me doesn’t work. I feel [name_f]Hildegard[/name_f] is too dated and [name_f]Hildy[/name_f] isn’t a pretty nickname.

Suggestions:
[name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] ~ [name_m]Konrad[/name_m] [name_m]Wolfgang[/name_m], [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] & [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f]

I’m actually liking [name_f]Hildy[/name_f]! It’s a very daring choice but I think, especially with the nickname, it would be a really neat name.

I also like [name_f]Greta[/name_f] with your kids’ names.

Other ideas:
[name_f]Adele[/name_f]
[name_f]Amalia[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Carla[/name_f]
[name_f]Claudia[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f]
[name_f]Freja[/name_f]
[name_f]Gloria[/name_f]
[name_f]Ida[/name_f]
[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Marta[/name_f]
Roswitha “[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Sonja[/name_f]
[name_f]Ulla[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]

I really like [name_f]Greta[/name_f], and suggestions of [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Willa[/name_f].

[name_f]Anja[/name_f]
[name_f]Annalise[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f]
[name_u]Gannet[/name_u]
[name_f]Ida[/name_f]
[name_f]Ilsa[/name_f]
[name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Leonie[/name_f]
[name_f]Marlene[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]

7

[name_f]Greta[/name_f] or [name_f]Clara[/name_f]!

8

Thank you all so much!

9

Yes! It’s so crazy she’s already one :slight_smile: Thank you for the suggestions, I really like [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] (had forgotten I liked that so much!) [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]!

10

Thank you! You’re so right, we actually really love [name_f]Frida[/name_f] nn [name_u]Fritzi[/name_u]! We haven’t talked about that in a while so I’m glad you said that. Oh man I wish I liked [name_f]Minerva[/name_f], it would be the perfect full name for [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] if I could get on board. I really love [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] nn [name_f]Pippa[/name_f], [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] (I actually think [name_f]Inga[/name_f] is adorable), [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] and [name_f]Frederica[/name_f] (another [name_u]Fritzi[/name_u] full name?). Have always loved [name_f]Willa[/name_f], too. I never know how to say Ottillie (I think like Oh-teel-ya?)

11

These are great! I really love [name_f]Augusta[/name_f], [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Petra[/name_f]!

12

Haha my husband will love to hear someone else likes [name_f]Hildy[/name_f]! I actually really dig it but it’s SO different and clunky I don’t know if I have the courage to use it :slight_smile: Otherwise I really [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Marta[/name_f] (had forgotten about that one!), I like [name_f]Freja[/name_f] and had never heard of Roswitha…interesting! I adore [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] so that intrigues me.

13

[name_f]Greta[/name_f] is my favorite, too! For some reason my husband just doesn’t like it, though. Thank you for the suggestions!

14

[name_f]Hannelore[/name_f]
[name_f]Araminta[/name_f] ([name_f]Minnie[/name_f])
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Amalia[/name_f]
[name_f]Friederike[/name_f] ([name_u]Fritzi[/name_u])
[name_f]Adelheid[/name_f] ([name_f]Heidi[/name_f])
[name_f]Eva[/name_f]
[name_f]Freja[/name_f]

I actually like [name_f]Hildegarde[/name_f] with nickname [name_f]Hildy[/name_f] also!

15

I really like [name_f]Frida[/name_f] & [name_f]Greta[/name_f] with [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] and [name_m]Konrad[/name_m]. Maybe instead of [name_f]Hildegard[/name_f] (which does sounds very heavy), [name_f]Mathilda[/name_f] would be an option to get to [name_f]Hildy[/name_f]. It certainly would fit right in with the other two.

Some other ideas (that might have already been mentioned) would be [name_f]Johanna[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_f]Katharina[/name_f] & [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f]

16

We almost named our daughter [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] (instead it’s her middle name) and these are some of the more Germanic options we like for her sister:

[name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Adele[/name_f]

17

It’s might not be your cup of tea, but I think [name_f]Inga[/name_f] is very charming.

18

[name_f]Hildy[/name_f] is slowly growing on me, haha! My son named his baby doll [name_f]Hildy[/name_f] and now it just sounds adorable when I hear it :slight_smile: Thank you for the suggestions, I always forget about [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]! and love [name_u]Fritzi[/name_u] for a girl. So sassy!

19

I never thought of [name_f]Mathilda[/name_f] as a full name for [name_f]Hildy[/name_f]. Thanks for the suggestion!

20

It’s such a great name, isn’t it?! (Though I’m obviously biased) Thank you! [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Willa[/name_f] especially!
