Our two top first names we both like are Emilia and Natalie with Juliet ranking in third place for us.
Last name is Brown. Brothers name is Benjamin.
Nicknames:
Natalie= Natty, Lia, Talie or Alie.
Emilia= Emmy, Milly, Mia or Mila.
Juliet= Jules, Julie,Jet or Etta/Etty
My name is Mira so not sure if Mia/Mila would be to close to my name. And since our sons NN is Benny not sure if Jet would make us seem like major Elton John fans lol
I really liked Harper or June as the middle but Hubby isn’t into either although he likes Harper more than June.
He really likes Belle or Bella for a middle name but I don’t think it goes well with last name Brown, especially Belle.
We came to a compromise at Isobel/Isabelle as the middle name.
I know I may be over thinking this whole thing but Just wanted to see what others thought as I’m having such a hard time deciding which I like best, I’ve spent this entire pregnancy looking up names and have not found one I’m absolutely in love with that we both can decide on. What first/middle combo do you think flows best or just sounds the prettiest? Which name would stand out to you the most?
Juliet(tte?) [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] would be my pick and would definitely stand out to me the most. I would (and most, probably) would have never though of [name_u]Elton[/name_u] [name_u]John[/name_u] lol
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps! Additionally, I don’t think “Belle” is too much with [name_m]Brown[/name_m] but if you do, that’s what matters!
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m] or [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]!
I actually know a [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m] so I think it would be a lot more common than an [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] or [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]. plus, [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] is a less common variant of [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] so stands out more
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m] is fantastic!
Second choice would be [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m], but the first one is more classically [name_f]British[/name_f] and sweetly elegant, poised, and reminds me of flowers and a house full of books and a dog.
I love [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m], that’s so pretty! [name_m]Benny[/name_m] and [name_u]Jet[/name_u] would immediately prompt me to sing the song I’m afraid, haha. But [name_m]Benny[/name_m] and Jules?! They are so cool together!
If you go with [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], I’d use [name_f]Milly[/name_f] - [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] clashes with [name_m]Benny[/name_m] (imagine how annoying this would get if you tried to call one of them from another part of the house) and Mia/Mila clashes with [name_f]Mira[/name_f].
[name_f]Natalie[/name_f] is nice - [name_u]Natty[/name_u] and [name_m]Benny[/name_m] are cute together - but feels less exciting to me.
As for middles, [name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_m]Brown[/name_m] and [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_m]Brown[/name_m] are no more or less difficult than [name_f]Bella[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m], the p/b and n/n sounds don’t flow brilliantly. Isobel/Isabelle [name_m]Brown[/name_m] sounds great however.
Thanks for your comment!
I agree [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] and [name_m]Benny[/name_m] are too close and I really like [name_f]Mila[/name_f] but it’s basically my name with an L lol I really like [name_u]Jules[/name_u] as a [name_u]Nick[/name_u] name and I’ve heard people say [name_u]June[/name_u] can be used as a nick name for [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] which I’ve already been calling her cause she’s due in [name_u]June[/name_u] so I thought that was cool plus my little boy can say JuJu so that’s probably what he will call her if we go with [name_f]Juliet[/name_f].
I think they all work honestly the same amount? They’re all equally lovely!
I’m partial to [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] as I’m a huge Tally/Talie fan; my sister is a [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] nn [name_f]Talie[/name_f]! It suits her really well; I would love to see more Tallys/Talies in the world. I think I like [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] best as a combo, but I do like the nn potential of [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] - [name_u]Jules[/name_u] and Jet/Jetta are fun as is [name_f]Juju[/name_f] I think. I knew a family with a [name_f]Juliana[/name_f] nn [name_f]Juju[/name_f] awhile back and I always thought it was sweet. tbh, I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them… but I think my vote goes to [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] for [name_f]Talie[/name_f] alone
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] would be my favourite, or [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] but I prefer [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] personally. I don’t think Mia/Mila would be too close to your name, especially with a full name to fall back on.
