Sorry for spamming the posts this week. But Im trying to distract myself from the tww.
As some of you know, I have two daughters named W1nry V1olet (nn Winnie) & H0liday Jan3 (nn Holly)
If we do get pregnant again we’ve got our boys names pretty much figured out. But Ive suddenly realized Im unsure about my favorites when it comes to girls. Maple Louisa has been my favorite forever, but recently Ive decided I like it better as a combo. So if we used it, it would probably be as a double barrel. And I dont know if we could convince everyone around us to use a double barrel.
So what do you think works best with our girls names?
- Opal Marylark
- Sylvia Marylark nn Sylvie
- Maeve Gwenonwy
- Pearl Gwenonwy
- Afton Willow
- Afton Lily
- Maple Louisa
- Rosalie June
Other names that I love but don’t have a combo for yet…
- Prairie
- Patience nn Penny
- Apolline nn Lina or Lola
- Allifair
- Amaryllis
- Dorothy nn Dot/Dottie
- Eve
- Farrah
- Eulalie
- Nere
- Andeline nn Andie
- Ondeline nn Ondie
- Araluen nn Lulu
-Opal, Pearl, Andeline & Gwen are all family names.
-My husband is Basque, and we would love to honor his heritage.
-I love the nn Lola, but dont love it as a full name and cant quite find a full name for it that I really love.

I think [name_f]Opal[/name_f] is so perfect with your girls! Like their names, it’s off-beat and fun but not too out-there, and I like how it ends in a different sound than W1nry and H0lly! I adore [name_f]Maple[/name_f] for the same reasons, but not so much [name_f]Maple[/name_f] [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]? Maybe it’s just me, but I find it hard to say as a double barrel, since [name_f]Maple[/name_f] ends in the same sound that [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] starts in, it just ends up sounding a bit awkward and stilted.

I know the blending end & beginning seems to be a little controversial, either you like the flow or you dont (which doesnt bother me too much) they way I say it they are definitely blended, there is no pause between the 2…which again I know is a little controversial to naming fanatics!
I think [name_f]Opal[/name_f] is perfect with your lovely girls’ names! [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] and [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] are lovely, but they’re reasonably common where I am - your older daughters have such fun unexpected names, something slightly more unusual would go perfectly with them!

Samesies with the TWW distraction but I’m moving so that’s my distraction this go round lol
I like either [name_f]Prairie[/name_f] or [name_f]Apolline[/name_f] best with the sibs’ names honestly.
Maybe [name_f]Prairie[/name_f] Andeline or [name_f]Prairie[/name_f] [name_f]Alaia[/name_f]?
With [name_f]Apolline[/name_f]:
[name_f]Apolline[/name_f] [name_f]Sage[/name_f]
[name_f]Apolline[/name_f] [name_f]Clover[/name_f]
[name_f]Apolline[/name_f] [name_f]Briar[/name_f]
[name_f]Apolline[/name_f] [name_f]Naroa[/name_f]
[name_f]Apolline[/name_f] Lorea (Basque for “flower” I thought it would be a neat tie to the other floral-esque names)
You could also maybe do [name_f]Prairie[/name_f] Lorea?
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps!

I just want to suggest using [name_f]Lola[/name_f] as a nickname for either [name_f]Opal[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] - it’s a bit stretchy, but I think it would work.
And I also want to say that I love [name_f]Patience[/name_f] nn [name_f]Penny[/name_f]! So sweet.

[name_f]Opal[/name_f] is gorgeous - a hint of vintage charm with plenty of sparkle too 
[name_f]Maple[/name_f] [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] is charming but I can imagine [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] getting dropped.
[name_f]Afton[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is so lovely - outdoorsy but sweet, strong but gentle!
[name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] and [name_f]Allifair[/name_f] are fabulous - with [name_f]Prairie[/name_f], [name_f]Apolline[/name_f] and [name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f] being my ‘almost’ votes oh - and [name_f]Patience[/name_f] ‘Penny’ is lovely too!
Might not be for you, but going to throw Lorea ‘Lola’

[name_f]Opal[/name_f] fits your girls names so well. [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] is very sweet too and [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] goes amazingly with [name_f]Holly[/name_f] and and [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Maple[/name_f] [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] but like others have said, the L’s clash a little and I can see [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] getting dropped.
I like [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] and just [name_f]Maple[/name_f] with W1nry and H0liday!
