[name_f]Susanna[/name_f] [name_u]Lake[/name_u]'s little sister is coming soon. Here are contenders. What do you like best, or any suggestions? I think I like the name [name_f]Willa[/name_f] best, but I need to honor an [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. I honestly can’t figure out how I feel about [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]. I love how it looks (and it sounds awesome with our last name). I don’t hate the name [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] but I am sort of bored by it and I don’t have a nickname that I love. We call [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] “[name_f]Zuzu[/name_f]” often, FYI. Why is this so hard this time??
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Isabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Beth[/name_f] (I know this sounds best, but I don’t love the name [name_f]Beth[/name_f])
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_u]Eden[/name_u]
(These are special meaning middles, like her big sister’s “[name_u]Lake[/name_u].”)
I usually don’t like names with the same ending, but I like [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] best. It has a sing-song prettiness that makes me think of an adorable character in a children’s book. I must add that I also picked because I’m pretty smitten with the name Willa.
I get what you are saying about being bored by [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] but I love [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] with the nn [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]. I think it’s unexpected and sweet and gives you the honor name you want! Of your choices I really like [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] nn [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]!
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] is the prettiest from the first ones.
I love both [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_u]Eden[/name_u]. Probably the [name_u]Eden[/name_u] one more [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] has a lot of L’s in it.
Again I love both [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Eden[/name_u]. I think I prefer [name_u]Eden[/name_u] slightly more as name.
I really dont like the names [name_f]Willa[/name_f] or [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] is okay. What about changing it a little more to [name_f]Elise[/name_f]?
I love the name [name_f]Willa[/name_f] so much, if you love that please use it. What about [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]? This honours your [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and uses [name_f]Willa[/name_f]
I think the clear choice is [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] as you prefer [name_f]Willa[/name_f] and want to honor an [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f].
Having said that I love [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] the best and think it’s a great way to add a spin on [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and still honor it.
I personally would choose
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_u]Eden[/name_u] as my first choice and [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] as my second. I prefer that spelling personally.
I definitely like [name_f]Willa[/name_f] the best from your list!
What about [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Bette[/name_f] or [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Bess[/name_f]? So close to the sound of [name_f]Beth[/name_f] but not [name_f]Beth[/name_f]
I have really liked the idea of [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Bette[/name_f]! My grandmother, the [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] I want to honor, goes by [name_f]Betty[/name_f]. I thought [name_f]Bette[/name_f] might be a good way to honor her. I also like the old-Hollywood nature of it. [name_f]Bess[/name_f] is cute but doesn’t sound great with our last name…begins with Sch, so it’s a little lispy sounding.
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] for sure! It complements [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] very well. Both will have classic but unusual and distinct names, and are unlikely to share with many classmates.
Second place, [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. It’s just so extraordinarily versatile. So many nickname options-- [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Zizi[/name_f], [name_f]Libby[/name_f], [name_f]Betty[/name_f], [name_f]Betsy[/name_f], [name_f]Bess[/name_f] (my favorite), [name_f]Elsa[/name_f], [name_f]Etta[/name_f], [name_f]Tibby[/name_f], [name_f]Zibby[/name_f], [name_f]Lettie[/name_f]…
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] is the only one I’m not as keen on.
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] would be beautiful.
I love [name_f]Willa[/name_f] and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and think both are great with [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] “[name_f]Zuzu[/name_f]”. I think the issue with the [name_f]Willa[/name_f] combos is the repeated “ih” sound in [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]. Maybe that’s why [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Beth[/name_f] sounds best to you. Have you considered [name_f]Elsbeth[/name_f] or [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]? Cuts out the ‘ih’. I love [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]. Otherwise, [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] is really sweet!
I think all of your options are remarkable! [name_f]Willa[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] are awesome choices. [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] “[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]” seems an obvious choice, but [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is also gorgeous! I think my first choice is [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] followed by [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f].
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f] with nickname [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] or give her the choice when she gets older to be called [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] or [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
My favourite is [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_u]Eden[/name_u], especially with [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Zuzu[/name_f]’ [name_u]Lake[/name_u]. Of your [name_f]Willa[/name_f] combos, I like [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] best.
Any other thoughts?
