My daughter is [name_f]Lila[/name_f] and I’ve always loved her name. Our second choice for her was [name_f]Audra[/name_f] but she suited [name_f]Lila[/name_f] perfectly and now neither of us like [name_f]Audra[/name_f] that much so it’s out.
our second is due in [name_u]July[/name_u] and we’re struggling for names. I have lots of names that I like, but I like them all the same and I don’t love as many as much as [name_f]Lila[/name_f]… so I feel stuck. The names in my signature are the ones we like, to give you all an idea of our style.
So to get some fresh ideas I thought I’d ask you all what you would name my daughter, as a future daughter of ours would likely look like her.
thank you in advance! i’ll take the picture down tonight if people reply as I don’t want to keep it up for too long.
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] or [name_f]Violet[/name_f] from your signature would get my vote though and a couple of other names that came to mind were [name_f]Freya[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], [name_f]Edie[/name_f] and [name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] is perfect on her by the looks of it!
From your list I would pick [name_f]Alice[/name_f] and [name_f]Sadie[/name_f]. Since [name_f]Lila[/name_f] is short and full of punch I tend to pair it with another short name with the same feel and thus really like the suggestions of [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] and [name_f]Edie[/name_f] and would like to add [name_f]Eve[/name_f]/[name_f]Evie[/name_f], [name_f]Tess[/name_f], [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] and [name_f]Suzie[/name_f].
I like [name_f]Freya[/name_f], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_f]Tess[/name_f], [name_f]Aria[/name_f], [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_f]Maeva[/name_f] (I like [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] too, now that I think of it) of your suggestions.
From your signature, my favorite is [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]. I also really like the suggestion of [name_f]Tess[/name_f]. Another idea I had for you is [name_f]Maisie[/name_f].
I agree with PPs that [name_f]Alice[/name_f] or [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] from your list would really suit her! A sweet, simple name with a vintage feel would be really nice.
Some more suggestions: [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Thea[/name_f], [name_f]May[/name_f]/[name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_f]Willa[/name_f], [name_f]Hannah[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f]/[name_f]Rosie[/name_f], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Fiona[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Emily[/name_f]
While it wasn’t in your signature, I think [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] would be beautiful! I think [name_f]Lila[/name_f] and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] fit well together. I also scoped your signature for middles and I think [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] would be a gorgeous combo!
Thank you all for all of the replies!! From the rest of the suggestions I really like [name_f]Thea[/name_f] (this is actually on our longer list I should add it to my signature as it’s growing on my husband more), [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Sienna[/name_f] and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
She’s so adorable and suits [name_f]Lila[/name_f] perfectly! From your signature I think [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], or [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] would be lovely.
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] is such a stylish, lovely name! From your signature, I like [name_f]Margot[/name_f] the best. Both [name_f]Lila[/name_f] and [name_f]Margot[/name_f] are spunky but also substantial, and ever so lively. My second choice from your signature is [name_u]Eloise[/name_u]. From previous posters, I like [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Edie[/name_f], and [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]. Other ideas:
[name_f]Alma[/name_f]: This name is a short, sweet classic, with a similar flow to [name_f]Lila[/name_f] but a definite distinction. It reminds me of the classic [name_f]Alice[/name_f] and [name_f]Margot[/name_f], and in fact is a mashup of the first few letters of those two. It also picks up the sounds of [name_f]Amelie[/name_f], and the vibe of [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. [name_f]Lila[/name_f] and [name_f]Alma[/name_f]. [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]: This name, like [name_f]Lila[/name_f], is filled with spunk and punch. It’s a vivid color name, like [name_f]Violet[/name_f], but has the style of [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and the same ending sound as [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] and [name_f]Sadie[/name_f]. [name_f]Lila[/name_f] and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]. [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]: This vintage name is somewhat quirky but also very sweet. It makes me think of the middle ground between [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_f]Margot[/name_f]. [name_f]Lila[/name_f] and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]. (I like that “l”!) [name_f]Norah[/name_f]/[name_f]Nora[/name_f]: This gentle yet strong and substantial classic has the strong consonant sounds of [name_f]Lila[/name_f] and the “-o” of [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_u]Eloise[/name_u], and [name_f]Margot[/name_f]. [name_f]Lila[/name_f] and [name_f]Norah[/name_f]/[name_f]Nora[/name_f]. [name_f]Cora[/name_f]/[name_f]Coralie[/name_f]: Lots of spunk here, but also some vintage vibes. [name_f]Lila[/name_f] and [name_f]Cora[/name_f]/[name_f]Lila[/name_f] and [name_f]Coralie[/name_f]. [name_f]Isla[/name_f]: A beautiful, feminine name, much like [name_f]Iris[/name_f] but with that fantastic “l” sound. [name_f]Edith[/name_f]/[name_u]Eden[/name_u]: Like [name_f]Edie[/name_f], but longer options that seem to be more in keeping with [name_f]Iris[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. Still spunky and classic. [name_f]Lila[/name_f] and [name_f]Edith[/name_f]; [name_f]Lila[/name_f] and [name_u]Eden[/name_u]. I think I might slightly prefer the latter. [name_f]Cleo[/name_f]/[name_f]Clio[/name_f]: These two are quite rare, but with great meaning and spunk. The length of [name_f]Iris[/name_f], the “l” from [name_f]Lila[/name_f], and the long “-o” from several of your favorites. [name_f]Fiona[/name_f]: Another spunky beauty with a long “-o”, strong sounds, and a nice vibe. Reminds me of [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] and [name_f]Margot[/name_f].
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helped, and best of luck!
