We’re pretty solid on our boys options (except for a middle for Ira!) if this baby is a boy, but for girls we’re still pretty torn. We want a name that isn’t super common, but I don’t want the names to be too super matchy. Our older girls are W1nry Viol3t & H0liday Jan3. But they go by the more familiar nicknames of W1nnie & H0lly. We want something in a similar pattern of a less common full name, more common nickname. But i think this time around I’m leaning more vintage and less modern But I don’t want this babies name to sick out too much from her sisters if she’s a girl.
So these are the options I keep coming back to…
- Eulalie Pearl nn Lily (or Yuki according to my dh)
- Patience Willow nn Penny
- Andeline Eve nn Annie or Andie (or Dinah)
- Apolline Laurel nn Lola
- Sylvia nn Sylvie (this one is new to my list)
- Opal Evangeline nn Opal or Poppy
- Verity Iris nn Vera
- Rosalie Avina nn Rose
Opal, Pearl, Andeline & Avina are family names, but we dont feel required to use a family name.
Im also open to any suggestion that you might feel fits.
It was so hard to stick to just two! [name_f][/name_f] I voted Andeline [name_f]Eve[/name_f] because it feels so quintessentially you… I love this name for you! [name_f][/name_f] I think it has that same appeal as your older two girls’ names as well, and [name_f]Annie[/name_f], [name_f]Andie[/name_f], and [name_f]Dinah[/name_f] are great nicknames for it.

[name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f], too, is inspired! [name_f][/name_f] It feels more vintage which you are drawn to right now, but also feels like such a great match for your other girls’ names. [name_f][/name_f] I love [name_f]Vera[/name_f] with H0lly and W1nnie too!

[name_f]Poppy[/name_f] feels very you, but [name_f]Opal[/name_f] nn [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] is too much of a stretch for me. [name_f][/name_f] Weirdly I would be ok with [name_f]Apolline[/name_f] nn [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], though? [name_f][/name_f] I think it’s because [name_f]Opal[/name_f] and [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] are both word names, and [name_f]Opal[/name_f] is shorter than [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] is? [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Apolline[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lola[/name_f] or [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] would have probably been my third choice for you. [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Avina[/name_f] is great too and would probably be my fourth pick. [name_f][/name_f] I adore [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] and [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is the sweetest! [name_f][/name_f] It fits with your current girls the least well imo, but [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is adorable and again, it feels so you even though it feels quite different from your older girls to me! [name_f][/name_f] Honestly I’d be happy to see you use any of these names lol.

I don’t have any new suggestions right now, but I’m so excited to see what you pick, I love your style!

Andeline feels right for you - it’s got a hint of vintage playfulness, while still feeling unexpected and fresh!
My second choices are Opal Evangeline and Apolline Laurel!
a few ideas...
Genevieve Opal / Genevieve Laurel nn Vivi, Ever, Ginny
Annora Willow / Annora Sylvie nn Annie, Nora, Nori
Mirabel Andeline / Mirabel Avina nn Miri, Mira, Mitzi, Mave

I like Andeline as a choice, although I don’t see how you’d get [name_f]Dinah[/name_f] from it! I like it with the nn [name_f]Annie[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f]
I also think [name_f]Apolline[/name_f] would be fantastic with your girls but, while I see how [name_f]Lola[/name_f] comes from it, it doesn’t feel as natural as Wιnnie and H*lly do. [name_f]Allie[/name_f] and [name_f]Polly[/name_f] would be too matchy with H0lly but what about [name_f]Apolline[/name_f] ‘Annie’?
