[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all! I posted recently to get your opinions on my list of names and your responses were so lovely and helpful. I thought it would be even more helpful for me to ask you for your personal suggestions outside of my list.
What name or names would YOU choose if you were naming a girl with the following parameters:
-big brother named [name_u]William[/name_u] who sometimes goes by [name_u]Liam[/name_u]
-has a long and difficult to spell/pronounce last name (this makes me feel like she needs an easy to spell/pronounce first name or at least a shorter nickname option but maybe I’m wrong)
-close family girl names already in use so can’t use: [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], [name_f]Ava[/name_f] and [name_f]Eva[/name_f]
-would prefer no L names since my name starts with “Li” and her brother sometimes goes by [name_u]Liam[/name_u]
I looked through your other posts after I had already commented, and see maybe you are looking for something a little less common. I love [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] nn [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] from your list! [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Nola[/name_f] would be sweet with William/Liam too!
A few more I thought of are [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f], [name_f]Ione[/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Audra[/name_f], [name_u]Blythe[/name_u], [name_u]Fern[/name_u] & [name_f]Cassia[/name_f].
I like, based on your criteria-

Oh I’m actually loving the [name_f]Mae[/name_f] suggestion, I have [name_u]June[/name_u] on my list but hadn’t thought of [name_f]Mae[/name_f]. [name_f]Clara[/name_f] is on my list too!
It’s interesting your first thought was Eleanor/Nora to go with William/Liam. That is my grandmother’s name and was what I always thought I’d name my daughter! I’ve been hesitant due to the recent popularity of [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], and [name_f]Nora[/name_f]. [name_f]My[/name_f] son has two Eleanor’s that go by nicknames in his class of 15 and an [name_f]Elianna[/name_f] that goes by [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]. But I still love and keep coming back to the name as the perfect pair for William/Liam!!!
Lots of great suggestions thank you! [name_u]June[/name_u] and [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] are on my list. Think I will add [name_f]May[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] !
I love that you say your first idea is [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] bc it is one of my top names. I love a classic name with a ton of nickname options. And I think it pairs really well with [name_u]William[/name_u] nn [name_u]Liam[/name_u]. I’ve mostly been on the fence about it bc of the recent popularity of [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] and [name_f]Nora[/name_f]. [name_f]My[/name_f] son has an [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Elianna[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], and a [name_f]Nell[/name_f] in his class of 15 . Interestingly, we haven’t run into many William’s or Liam’s even though his name is the most popular name in the USA right now. (I def did zero research on popularity when I named him- he has my late dads name). Anyways, I do keep coming back to the name and all the nicknames (Ellie, [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_f]Elle[/name_f], Etc.) as a perfect pair with William/Liam. I’ve also highly considered Alexandra/Allie which feels similar to Eleanor/Ellie.
