Torn between names

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone! I have a few names I’m struggling between for a daughter and I’m hoping you can all help me. I already have a boy [name_u]Brayden[/name_u] [name_u]Oliver[/name_u]. The names I like are [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] in honor of my grandfather [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] and [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] means [name_f]Dawn[/name_f] which is my mother’s name. [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], my husband love the name [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] and I think it sounds nice with my sons name. [name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f], this name I came up with and I just absolutely fell in love with it. [name_f]Adelina[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f], my husband is Dominican and would like a spanish sounding name, we both agreed on this one, I like [name_f]Jade[/name_f] as a middle name not sure if it fits with [name_f]Adelina[/name_f]. [name_f]Alina[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], my husband and I love the sound of [name_f]Alina[/name_f], it sounds Latin and [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] would be in honor of my great grandmother. With [name_f]Adelina[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] & [name_f]Alina[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] I love that she could have the nickname AJ. Please HELP!:sob:

I like [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] for you! It sounds great with [name_u]Brayden[/name_u]. Next maybe [name_f]Alina[/name_f], since you and your husband both love the sound. [name_f]Alina[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is a lovely combo.

I like [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] best! I think [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] sounds best as a sister for [name_u]Brayden[/name_u] and [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] seems like the perfect honor name. I love [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] as well, but it seems off stylistically from [name_u]Brayden[/name_u].

I also agree that [name_f]Jade[/name_f] is a little off with [name_f]Adelina[/name_f], though I love both names. [name_f]Alina[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is gorgeous too, but again, I don’t think either sound as nice with [name_u]Brayden[/name_u] as [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]. AJ is an endearing nickname, though, especially on a girl, but it does kind of negate the Spanish sound your husband was looking for if she has a nickname. Overall, I think [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] just makes the most sense for you!

Hi! [name_f]Welcome[/name_f] to Nameberry. All are stunning names! Here’s what I think of each of them.

Vivienne [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
PROS: A great way to honor some special people. [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] is adorable and I think the nickname ‘[name_f]Vivi[/name_f]’ is super cute on a young one, however, if you don’t like this nickname, it’s completely avoidable! [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] is also lovely, and it ties in really well with [name_f]Dawn[/name_f]. The name
CONS: The name [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] has a very different “feel” from the name [name_u]Brayden[/name_u]- they’re two quite different styles! This isn’t a major con, it’s more neutral, just something I noticed, which might not bother you.

Scarlett [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
PROS: You’re right, [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] and [name_u]Brayden[/name_u] do sound nice together, and you still get the previously mentioned pros of [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]. However, do you love this name?
CONS: If you haven’t fallen in love with this name, name regret is always a potential worry. Of course, [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] is a beautiful name, but everyone has their favorites and in the long run, I think it’s most important that you choose a name that’s meaningful and beautiful to you.

Leah [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
PROS: The flow of this name is so nice! [name_f]Leah[/name_f] is underused and [name_f]Noelle[/name_f], to me, is very festive and cherry. If you’ve fallen in love with this name, I’d bump it up to the top of your list. [name_m]Say[/name_m] it a lot. Keep it in the back of your mind. What does your husband think of it?
CONS: You don’t have any major connection to this name, but that’s okay! You don’t NEED a strong connection for a name to be perfect. [name_m]Just[/name_m] keep this in mind when comparing it to names like [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] and [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]!

Adelina [name_f]Jade[/name_f]
PROS: I like Spanish sounding names too! They’re some of the most beautiful names, in my opinion. [name_f]Adelina[/name_f] has a cute potential nickname ([name_f]Addie[/name_f]) but is avoidable if you don’t like it.
CONS: Although I actually quite like the sound of [name_f]Jade[/name_f] with [name_f]Adelina[/name_f], if you don’t like it, you could try and search for a similar name with a similar sound or meaning. Maybe another gem name or J name?

Alina [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
PROS: [name_f]Alina[/name_f] is GORGEOUS. It’s just stunning, and AJ is a perfect nickname. Also, if she preferred, she could go by [name_m]Al[/name_m], [name_u]Allie[/name_u], or [name_f]Lina[/name_f]. Alternative spellings are [name_f]Alena[/name_f] and [name_f]Elena[/name_f]. [name_f]Alena[/name_f] is my personal pick, but all 3 are wonderful. [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is a great honor name and an established middle name that I’m sure your daughter would be proud to carry. I think this name also goes best with your son’s name!
CONS: To be honest, I don’t really have a con for this one… :slight_smile:

Overall, this is my rankings of preference from favorite to least favorite, although I do like them all!

  1. Alina [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
  2. Vivienne [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
  3. Leah [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
  4. Adelina [name_f]Jade[/name_f] (potentially higher with a different middle name). PRSing’s suggestion of [name_f]Adelina[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is wonderful!
  5. Scarlett [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]

You have some really great options. I can see why you are having trouble choosing!

If you go with [name_f]Adelina[/name_f], [name_f]Alina[/name_f] could be the nn. (That way you get to keep two from your list.)

I love [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] and that you get to honor two people with this option.

This is EXACTLY what I needed! I needed someone to really break it down for me because everything you said is exactly how I feel. As much as I love [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] and I don’t mind the nickname at all I couldn’t tell if it sounded right with [name_u]Brayden[/name_u]. I’m not in love with [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], as much as I love both of the names, them together there’s just something holding me back. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband did agree on the name [name_f]Leah[/name_f] but wasn’t sold on [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] but even still I can’t help but love it. Originally I thought [name_f]Adelina[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] sounded beautiful together but I kept getting told they don’t flow well or something is missing from them so it put me off. [name_f]Alina[/name_f] very much grew on me and I agree it does sound well with [name_u]Brayden[/name_u], but again I was told it doesn’t sound right. [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is a name I loved forever, wasn’t sure if it was too long for [name_f]Adelina[/name_f] which is why I paired it with [name_f]Alina[/name_f]. Thank you so much for this! Seriously!

Thank you I think this something I really need to sit down with my husband and discuss because I’m so torn with them all. But it makes me feel a little better hearing from outside opinions.

Vivienne [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] for the sound but [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] for the heritage :slightly_smiling_face:

Like @Paigefoster said, [name_f]Alina[/name_f] could be a nn for [name_f]Adelina[/name_f]

What lovely combos to pick from. I really like [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] and I think that pairs nicely with your son’s name too.

You have lovely options, I think [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] and [name_f]Alina[/name_f] go best with your sons name.
Or how about [name_f]Jade[/name_f] as a first? [name_f]Jade[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] or [name_f]Jade[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] are quite magical

My favourite is [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], but also like [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f].

Adelina [name_f]Jade[/name_f] is gorgeous-I really like it!

My favourite is [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] I just think that’s a beautiful name. But I think with [name_u]Brayden[/name_u] [name_u]Oliver[/name_u] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] is the best bet

Scarlett [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] is my favorite! [name_f]My[/name_f] second fave is [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f].
