Third girl! Sister for Dove and Clementine

I’m pregnant with our third girl! My two other daughters are Dove Senna and Clementine True. Meaning matters a lot to us- which makes it hard!! The name we both love right now is Constance with the nn Coco. I’m in my head it doesn’t go well enough with older sisters. At the same time don’t want to feel too “themed”! What do you think? Also, think we can get away with Coco as the nickname?

Other names we like but meaning is missing for us:
Capri
Clover
Golden/Goldie

I think [name_f]Constance[/name_f] is gorgeous! I think the idea of a virtue name is great. How about [name_f]Verity[/name_f]? :heart_eyes:

Other idea I’m sure you’ve thought of: [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] nn “goldie”???

I love marigold! [name_f]My[/name_f] husband doesn’t as much. I was also concerned it locked us into a “nature theme” if we were to have more kids.

@pennyrstuble totally get that!

I love [name_f]Constance[/name_f]! So underrated. And [name_u]Coco[/name_u] is a perfect nn for her. I don’t think
there has to be a perfect flow, especially if you want to avoid a theme.

I will toss in some ideas that I think sound cool with her sisters:

[name_f]Temperance[/name_f] “Ren/Emi”
[name_u]Temple[/name_u]
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f]
[name_u]Harmony[/name_u]
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f]
[name_u]Early[/name_u]
[name_u]Rain[/name_u] “Rainey”
[name_u]Scout[/name_u] “Coco”

Congrats on #3 :smiley: :heartpulse:

I would personally agree that [name_f]Constance[/name_f] is less flowy and free than the other two. But it is your daughter!

Some that capture the same free, slightly southern charm of the sisters while still being unique IMO:

(I will use some of your likes and some not)

[name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] (true grace, that is. Unsure if you’d like the veiled reference to [name_u]True[/name_u] or not).
[name_f]Clover[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] (this evokes the [name_u]Crimson[/name_u] [name_f]Clover[/name_f] which stands for hope and industry in flower language. You could even go with [name_u]Crimson[/name_u] as a name!)
[name_u]Haven[/name_u] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] (beautiful haven/ safe place)
[name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Dawn[/name_f]
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f] [name_u]Skye[/name_u]
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f]

For [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] / [name_u]Golden[/name_u]: you could always pair it with a middle that enhances it! Example:

[name_u]Golden[/name_u] [name_f]Dawn[/name_f] (Oriana [name_u]Golden[/name_u] would be more veiled; [name_f]Oriana[/name_f] is Latin for “dawn” )
[name_u]Golden[/name_u] [name_f]Verity[/name_f] (golden truth)
[name_u]Golden[/name_u] [name_f]Rasine[/name_f] (Golden Rose)
[name_f]Goldie[/name_f] [name_f]Brenn[/name_f] (Golden blade of a sword)

Hopefully this helps! :slight_smile:

[name_f]Constance[/name_f] and [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] are my faves from your list! :yellow_heart:

They are so bright, so special, playful, and peaceful—which are all things I’d say about your older girls’ gorgeous names. [name_u]Dove[/name_u], [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_f]Constance[/name_f] / [name_u]Coco[/name_u], and [name_f]Golde[/name_f] have all got a yellow, sunny haze of sweetness about them. Heard of—largely thanks to their use as words—but by no means at all common. They are full of life and spirit! :woman_cartwheeling:t3::tangerine::dove::deciduous_tree:

(I also love that using these would mean all of the girls’ names would end in the same letter. A tiny but beautiful connection between sisters. Swoooon!)

Ideas with your girls!

[name_f]Mae[/name_f]

[name_u]Dove[/name_u], [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], & [name_f]Constance[/name_f] are all gorgeous names, with such beautiful meanings!

(My only tiny hesitation with [name_f]Constance[/name_f] would be the matching initial with [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], but the name is so lovely that I think that overrides any concern.)

I also really like previous commenters’ suggestions of [name_f]Reverie[/name_f] & [name_u]Florence[/name_u], both of which I think would match nicely - especially [name_u]Florence[/name_u].

“Dove, [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], & Florence” conjures up warm, summery, Mediterranean imagery really beautifully! :slight_smile:

[name_u]Dove[/name_u] and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] are so lovely!!

[name_f]Constance[/name_f] is wonderful and ‘Coco’ is sweet - it also gives you the nn [name_f]Tansy[/name_f] which has a nice meaning/symbolism behind it!

I’ll throw in the suggestions of:

[name_f]Ambrosia[/name_f] ‘Rosie’
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] ‘Vita’
[name_f]Letitia[/name_f] ‘Lettie’

Massive congratulations :tada:

I love [name_f]Constance[/name_f] she’s so strong, elegant and timeless. There are tons of lovely nicknames for [name_f]Constance[/name_f] especially love the idea of [name_u]Coco[/name_u] as a nickname. However I feel that [name_f]Constance[/name_f] makes [name_u]Dove[/name_u] feel a little mismatched. I think [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] + [name_f]Constance[/name_f] share so many similarities (their length, classic feel, both beginning with a c etc) that [name_u]Dove[/name_u] feels a little pushed out.

Have you thought of other virtue choices? Here are some ideas
[name_f]Verity[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Allegra[/name_f]
[name_u]Bliss[/name_u]
[name_u]Blythe[/name_u]
[name_f]Joy[/name_f]
[name_f]Gloria[/name_f]
[name_f]Faith[/name_f]
[name_f]Mercy[/name_f]
[name_u]Honor[/name_u]
[name_u]Haven[/name_u]
[name_f]Reverie[/name_f]

Looking at your other options I think [name_f]Clover[/name_f] works really well but I agree you could get pigeonholed into using nature options. Maybe [name_u]Clovis[/name_u] would take away the overt nature feels?

[name_f]Capri[/name_f] is fun takes away the nature connotations and I think sounds pretty with [name_u]Dove[/name_u] + [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] a good go between.

Finally looking at [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] I think she’s perfect with [name_u]Dove[/name_u] and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]. [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] is spunky, bright and has gorgeous colour imagery. [name_f]Golda[/name_f] could be a fun idea! Maybe [name_f]Rosegold[/name_f] could also work? I do love [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] but if your husband isn’t keen then maybe [name_f]Golda[/name_f] could work.

Names that could work with [name_u]Dove[/name_u] and Clementine…

[name_f]Enya[/name_f]
[name_f]Alethea[/name_f]
[name_f]Marisol[/name_f]
[name_f]Fauna[/name_f]

[name_u]Dove[/name_u] and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] are both beautiful names!!! I love the nickname [name_u]Coco[/name_u], and I think [name_f]Clover[/name_f], [name_f]Capri[/name_f], and [name_u]Golden[/name_u] “Goldie” are adorable names! ( [name_f]Clover[/name_f] is my personal favorite, but it would definitively lean the set completely into nature vibes, where as I think [name_f]Capri[/name_f] and [name_u]Golden[/name_u] “Goldie” would offset that.) I have never considered the name [name_f]Constance[/name_f], but I like it and think it’s pretty!! I think it makes the overall set feel much more refined and elegant overall, which could be a great plus! I don’t think [name_f]Constance[/name_f] is as happy, playful, or whimsical as [name_u]Dove[/name_u] and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], but I think the nickname [name_u]Coco[/name_u] automatically fixes that and makes it playful & fun, and that [name_f]Constance[/name_f] goes well with her sisters’ names when you take the name meanings into consideration. Also I’m in love with the “Tansy” nickname suggestion from @persephonescrown :pleading_face: :two_hearts: I think “Coco” and “Tansy” would be precious nicknames for [name_f]Constance[/name_f] !!

Some other names that I think pair well :

[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] “Coco”
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] “Goldie” (Aurelia means “the golden one”)
[name_f]Melody[/name_f]
[name_f]Avalon[/name_f] (means island of apples)

[name_f]Joy[/name_f]

I love [name_f]Constance[/name_f] with your other girls! Its true it doesnt feel matchy with [name_u]Dove[/name_u] & [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] but if you dont want it to feel too themey I think its perfect! And I dont think [name_u]Coco[/name_u] is too much of a stretch at all.

I also really really love [name_f]Capri[/name_f] with your girls names!
