Your two syllable names for our first girl

Girl Names
1

I’ve become so stumped with names for our first girl. We have two sons, [name_m]Archer[/name_m] and [name_m]Truett[/name_m] and I’d like to find a two-syllable name that goes well with theirs. It doesn’t have to be as unusual as [name_m]Truett[/name_m] and [name_m]Archer[/name_m] was around 500 on the ssa the year he was born.

I’d like to avoid repeating first initials and endings of the boys’ names. Also avoiding B names.

Names we like but won’t use:
[name_u]Arden[/name_u] -[name_u]LOVE[/name_u] this but too close to [name_m]Archer[/name_m]
[name_f]Afton[/name_f]
[name_u]Emory[/name_u]- sounds bad with last name
[name_u]Gentry[/name_u]- husband likes but it’s not my thing
[name_f]Lorelei[/name_f]- husband likes but I think it’s too long

Names we have considered:
Maebry ([name_f]Mabry[/name_f])- we like this but have a friend who’s baby girl is named very similar.
[name_f]Corinne[/name_f]-also have a friend who just named her baby [name_f]Cori[/name_f]. I’d use the nn [name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_u]Sloane[/name_u]- like this but only one syllable
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f]- husband’s pick. I worry this won’t age well.

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you have any suggestions based on what we like?

I think we might have similar taste. I love [name_u]Arden[/name_u] and [name_u]Gentry[/name_u]- but can’t use them either. (They are so cute though! :slight_smile: )

[name_f]Garland[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u]

[name_f]Lola[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f]

[name_f]Nola[/name_f] is sweet. I haven’t seen that one before!

11

If you like [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], maybe you would like the [name_m]French[/name_m] name [name_f]Maelle[/name_f] with a nickname of [name_f]Maelie[/name_f] when she’s young. It also has a similar sound to Maebry.

[ZQUOTE=babymagic;3036807]If you like [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], maybe you would like the [name_m]French[/name_m] name [name_f]Maelle[/name_f] with a nickname of [name_f]Maelie[/name_f] when she’s young. It also has a similar sound to Maebry.[/QUOTE]

I do like that but have a friend who’s daughter is [name_f]Maelie[/name_f]. While they just moved out of state I feel like Maebry and [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] might sound too similar to use. What do you think?

13

I do like that name but have a friend who’s daughter is named [name_f]Maelie[/name_f]. [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] and Maebry are probably too close for comfort, huh? :frowning:

14

Hmmm, that is quite close, but I guess it depends how close of a friend it is. If it’s one of your best friends who you see regularly, I might look for something different. Or you could just ask her (or him) if they would mind? One of my husband’s best friends called him up before their daughter was due and asked if we would mind if they used the same name as our daughter. We were actually flattered that they liked the same name! They live in a different town and we rarely see them so it’s no big deal. Friends and sometimes siblings often seem to be drawn to the same names…

15

Perhaps consider other [name_m]French[/name_m]-influenced names, such as
[name_f]Nala[/name_f] (nah-lah)
[name_f]Naya[/name_f] (niy-yah)
[name_f]Adrienne[/name_f]
Alexandrié
Aurelié
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f]
[name_f]Claudine[/name_f]/ [name_f]Claudia[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f]/Emilié
[name_f]Emmanuelle[/name_f]/a
[name_f]Inez[/name_f]
[name_f]Jacquelyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
[name_f]Marcelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Marguerite[/name_f]
[name_f]Marianne[/name_f]
[name_f]Nathalie[/name_f]
Noémi
[name_f]Pauline[/name_f]
[name_f]Sabine[/name_f]
Thérèse
[name_f]Victoire[/name_f]
[name_u]Dominique[/name_u]

Would [name_f]Adrienne[/name_f] fit you well?

[name_f]Carmelle[/name_f]
[name_u]Darcy[/name_u]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Lori[/name_f]
[name_f]Meryl[/name_f]
[name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_u]Zola[/name_u]

I love the name [name_m]Truett[/name_m]. Here are a few suggestions:

[name_f]Evie[/name_f] ([name_f]EVE[/name_f]-ie)
[name_f]Mariah[/name_f] (not 2 syllables, but a good one nonetheless!)
[name_m]Callen[/name_m]
[name_f]Kira[/name_f]
[name_f]Gretta[/name_f]
[name_f]Brynna[/name_f]

Thank you for all for the thoughtful and beautiful suggestions!

I keep coming back to [name_u]Sloane[/name_u]. I just love the way it sounds and looks.

Any thoughts on breaking the pattern and doing a one syllable name for baby girl? Would I do a 2 syllable middle or a 1 to match the boys? Last name is 3 syllables.
