Girl Names

[name]Hi[/name] Berries, I have grown to love some of these names, and I was hoping you could tell me what you think on them. I’d like to know if their first and middle names work together, and if they are suitable for the modern world today. So, here they are:

[name]Eliza[/name] [name]Catherine[/name]- I love this combination! It feels cute, calm, and pretty to me.

[name]Isla[/name] [name]Rose[/name]- I used to think “[name]Isla[/name]” was pronounced is-luh, but once I heard that it was pronounced eye-luh, I grew to love it. Paired with [name]Rose[/name], I feel like this combination is perfect.

[name]Katherine[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]- I love the name [name]Katherine[/name] with the nickname [name]Kate[/name], but I have been having trouble with the spelling of “[name]Katherine[/name]”. Should I spell it [name]Catherine[/name], nickname [name]Cate[/name]? [name]Kathryn[/name]? [name]Katheryn[/name]? [name]Kathrin[/name]? I’m a little stuck, but I still love the combination of the name [name]Katherine[/name] (spelled anyway) with [name]Noelle[/name].

Names that I am a little unsure about to use:

[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]- As you can see in my signature, this is one of my current favorites. I really like this name, but with my name being [name]Julia[/name], I don’t know if this can be a true contender. Plus, I think I like the name [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] more, so I think it would bother me if I used the name [name]Eliza[/name] and [name]Elizabeth[/name] in the same sibset, even if one was the first and the other the middle.

[name]Margaux[/name] [name]Claire[/name]- I like this combination, but I don’t know if this spelling is a little hard. I like the French version of spelling it this way, and how it’s a little different, but fear that it may be a little “mean” to have a little child deal with having to explain the spelling throughout their childhood. I’m not as keen on the spellings of [name]Margo[/name] or [name]Margot[/name], and I like how [name]Margaux[/name] looks with [name]Claire[/name].

[name]Nora[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]- The name [name]Nora[/name] has started to grow on me, and I really like [name]Genevieve[/name]. I don’t know if I am quite in love with [name]Nora[/name] yet, but I like the combination. I’d like to get your opinion on this combo, though.

[name]Maeve[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]- [name]LOVE[/name] this combo! Again, you can see that in my signature it is a current favorite. Still though, I don’t know if it’s quite “it” for me. I think the name [name]Maeve[/name] is really pretty, but I keep going back and forth, back and forth. [name]Maeve[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]… it’s too bad I can’t use that with [name]Eliza[/name]! [name]Eliza[/name] and [name]Maeve[/name] sound great together, in my opinion! Maybe you could mention some other middle names that sound great with [name]Maeve[/name]? I prefer longer middle names since the name [name]Maeve[/name] is only one syllable.

[name]Claire[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name]- I really like the combo, but fear that [name]Claire[/name] is starting to sound boring to a lot of people, [name]Clara[/name] taking it’s place. I like the spelling and sound of [name]Madeleine[/name] (mad-il-en, right?) If I’m not correct, please tell me!!!

[name]Esme[/name] [name]Faith[/name]- Not quite sure about this one. I always say ez-mee, and then have to correct myself. I have started to find that I think I like the pronunciation of ez-mee better with [name]Faith[/name]. Is there a name that is pronounced ez-mee? I don’t know if ez-may does sound better, though, to most people.

[name]Jacqueline[/name] [name]Eden[/name]- Once again, you see this one under my current favorites. When I’ve mentioned this name, though, people have told me that it’s too “n” heavy, and a bit of a tongue twister. What do you think, is this combination usable, or should it be out?

I know this post it very long, but if you could share your opinion, I’d really appreciate it! Thank you so much! :slight_smile:

I’d really appreciate if someone would reply!! I need help :)!

[name]Eliza[/name] [name]Catherine[/name]- This is very pretty and classic. I personally think of [name]Eliza[/name] as a nickname for [name]Elizabeth[/name], but others seem to disagree. The only downside of this combo is that it’s a little bit expected.

[name]Isla[/name] [name]Rose[/name]- These sound great together. I like the contrast of a classic name with a more modern one.

[name]Katherine[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]- I prefer the [name]Katherine[/name] spelling.

[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]- Maybe [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Juliet[/name], if you would like to go with [name]Eliza[/name]?

[name]Margaux[/name] [name]Claire[/name]- [name]Margot[/name] is the more traditional French spelling. Margeaux was popularized by an American model/actress in the 20th c. It’s now used quite a lot in [name]France[/name], however, so both spellings are “authentic” in that sense. My family is French, and I would choose [name]Margot[/name].

[name]Nora[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]- I like these together, though I’m not in love with [name]Nora[/name]. [name]Margot[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]? [name]Katherine[/name] ([name]Kate[/name]) [name]Genevieve[/name]?

[name]Maeve[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]- This is a nice combo but I’m not a huge [name]Maeve[/name] fan.

[name]Claire[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name]- These are both very popular names, and have been for at least 10 years. They’re very pretty and go well together (both are mainstream French names). Pretty combo.

[name]Esme[/name] [name]Faith[/name]- Ez-may is the French pronunciation. This isn’t my favorite of yours but it isn’t bad.

[name]Jacqueline[/name] [name]Eden[/name]- This does sound a bit heavy and unwieldy, since the -in and -en sounds sort of clash with each other. Maybe pair [name]Eden[/name] with [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Eliza[/name], [name]Margot[/name], or another classic name (besides [name]Katherine[/name], which has the same -in sound)?

My faves of these is [name]Isla[/name] [name]Rose[/name], but I think you have a lot of good options to work with!

Thank you so much vivimay, for your input!

[name]Eliza[/name] [name]Catherine[/name]- It’s definitely classy. :slight_smile:

[name]Isla[/name] [name]Rose[/name]- I really adore this. Very cute and spunky.

[name]Katherine[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]- I love this spelling of [name]Katherine[/name] and [name]Noelle[/name] is gorgeous. [name]Kate[/name] is such a great nn. [name]Love[/name].

[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]- [name]LOVE[/name] THIS! My favorite from your list! GORGEOUS!!!

[name]Margaux[/name] [name]Claire[/name]- If you like this spelling go for it. The flow is great and [name]Margaux[/name] has spunk!

[name]Nora[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]- [name]Nora[/name] has never been one of my favorites, but it’s a nice name and this combination is good.

[name]Maeve[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]- It works, but it’s NMS.

[name]Claire[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name]- This is really cute, but I prefer [name]Madeline[/name] (with the-[name]LINE[/name] pron).

[name]Esme[/name] [name]Faith[/name]- I think [name]Esme[/name] needs a longer middle name. [name]Both[/name] names are nice though.

[name]Jacqueline[/name] [name]Eden[/name]- Not my favorite. The ending of [name]Jacqueline[/name] and [name]Eden[/name] are too close.

[name]Eliza[/name] [name]Catherine[/name]- Hmm… [name]Eliza[/name] seems a bit dated to me. Sorry.

[name]Isla[/name] [name]Rose[/name]- You’re right. It is perfect!

[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]- This seems like a heroine name, strong and tough, but stunning. I like it!

[name]Margaux[/name] [name]Claire[/name]- Hmm. [name]Margot[/name] is one of my absolute favorite names of all time, and with [name]Claire[/name] it gives it a darling little charm to it, however I dislike [name]Margaux[/name]. But if you prefer it, to each his own! :slight_smile:

[name]Nora[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]- This is beautiful! I prefer [name]Norah[/name] though. [name]Nora[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] sounds romantic and lush.

[name]Maeve[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]- I like this! [name]Maeve[/name] is simply gorgeous in the first name place, and [name]Elizabeth[/name] gives it a classy vibe.

[name]Claire[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name]- No, [name]Claire[/name] is not boring at all! It’s classic! I pronounce it like Mad-eh-line, rhyme with sign. [name]Claire[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name] sounds stunning!

[name]Esme[/name] [name]Faith[/name]- [name]Love[/name]. I normally say Es-mee at first too, but prefer Es-may. [name]Esme[/name] [name]Faith[/name] sounds beautiful and angelic.

[name]Jacqueline[/name] [name]Eden[/name]- I don’t much like this. [name]Jacqueline[/name] sounds ugly to me… and [name]Eden[/name] is nice, but I can only imagine a little girl on Toddler’s and Tiaras I once saw. Sorry.

[name]Eliza[/name] [name]Catherine[/name]- [name]Love[/name] it! Very pretty. I know someone that just had a daughter named [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Kay[/name]… beautiful!

[name]Isla[/name] [name]Rose[/name]- TBH I don’t get the appeal of [name]Isla[/name]. [name]Rose[/name] is kind of a filler middle name but it’s not bad at all.

[name]Katherine[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]- I really like the combo! I think I prefer this spelling over [name]Catherine[/name], but only slightly.

[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]- I really love it but I agree it’s pretty close to your name. Maybe use it as a mn? You could also use [name]Elizabeth[/name] and nn her [name]Eliza[/name]. Or [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Juliet[/name]? That sounds nice too.

[name]Margaux[/name] [name]Claire[/name]- I do like the combo but yeah, the spelling might be difficult as a child. There may be some pronunciation issues too with anyone not familiar with this name. I do prefer [name]Margo[/name] (maybe [name]Margot[/name], but I always want to say [name]Mar[/name]-got, haha).

[name]Nora[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]- Not a huge fan of [name]Genevieve[/name] (long and complicated [name]IMO[/name]) but I do like it with [name]Nora[/name].

[name]Maeve[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]- I’m not a huge fan of [name]Maeve[/name], but it’s not bad. What about [name]Maeve[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name], [name]Maeve[/name] [name]Josephine[/name], [name]Maeve[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name], [name]Maeve[/name] [name]Lillian[/name]?

[name]Claire[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name]- I like both names but I think I prefer them as [name]Madeleine[/name] [name]Claire[/name]. I also say mad-uh-line.

[name]Esme[/name] [name]Faith[/name]- I definitely pronounce this as ez-may, but I’ve heard that ez-mee is an accepted pronunciation in some areas. It’s an ok name. I prefer the ez-may pr with [name]Faith[/name] personally.

[name]Jacqueline[/name] [name]Eden[/name]- I like both names but I agree that they don’t sound quite right together. What about [name]Jacqueline[/name] [name]Eve[/name]?

Thank you to everyone who replied! I really love [name]Juliet[/name] as a first name, so it’s sad I can’t use it. I’ve been thinking though, that maybe I can use it, like as a homage to my name. Almost like how [name]Giada[/name] De Laurentiis named her daughter the English version of her name, [name]Jade[/name]. [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Juliet[/name] doesn’t sound bad, but I don’t really like using [name]Elizabeth[/name] as a first name, because it reminds me of a mean girl who used to bully me, and I’d almost feel a little “haunted” if I named my daughter that as her first name. As a middle though, I don’t really mind, I mean, it’s probably my favorite middle name along with [name]Marie[/name], and [name]Rose[/name]. All names ([name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Marie[/name], [name]Rose[/name]) are very common, so I’d like to hear some more middle names that have the same “feeling” to them that aren’t as popular, but aren’t weird or unusual either. I used to love the name [name]Evelyn[/name], nickname [name]Eve[/name], but my family doesn’t really like that name, so as you can see, I took it off of my “Current Favorites”. I’d started to get a little sick of it too, I guess I could say, but it’s still not officially off for me. I’m having a hard time knowing if [name]Maeve[/name] is my style, along with [name]Margaux[/name], [name]Nora[/name], and [name]Esme[/name]. If I had twin girls, I love the combination of [name]Isla[/name] [name]Rose[/name] and [name]Esme[/name] [name]Faith[/name], but I would feel bad naming one of my daughters a name that I really love ([name]Isla[/name]) and the other a name that I had chosen because it “sounded good”. Right now, I think the front runner for me is [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Catherine[/name]. I love this!!! [name]Eliza[/name] is a name that I have loved for quite a while now. And, [name]Eliza[/name] doesn’t seem like a nickname to me, even though it does to some people. [name]Margaux[/name] has been giving me a few difficulties, because I love the sound and I [name]LOVE[/name] the way it looks spelled this way, especially with [name]Claire[/name]! But I feel like it might cause a few problems, and, it’d be kind of hard to make a sibset out of this… though now that I think of it, [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] and [name]Margaux[/name] [name]Claire[/name] don’t sound bad! With [name]Claire[/name], it’s more of the issue of spelling [name]Madeleine[/name]. I like the sound of [name]Claire[/name] with the middle named pronounced mad-uh-lyn, but I don’t really love the spelling [name]Madelyn[/name]. I really love, love [name]Claire[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name]!

Out of this list, the DEFINITE usable ones are, for me are:
[name]Eliza[/name] [name]Catherine[/name]
[name]Katherine[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]
[name]Isla[/name] [name]Rose[/name]

The ones I think are usable, but a little unsure about are:
[name]Claire[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]

The ones I am still unsure about are:
[name]Nora[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Faith[/name]
[name]Jacqueline[/name] [name]Eden[/name]
[name]Maeve[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Margaux[/name] [name]Claire[/name]

Out of the list “The ones I am still unsure about”, I’d like to be sure that I can use:
[name]Margaux[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Maeve[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Jacqueline[/name] [name]Eden[/name]

The ones I think I could let go of:
[name]Nora[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Faith[/name]

Wow! That was quite a post! I just can’t shut up…lol! :slight_smile: Thanks everyone!
