Help us decide our girl's name

cosmama · January 2015

HI ladies, We just can't decide on our second daughter's name and she will be here in a few short weeks! We will likely use the middle name Nicole, after her dad. She has an older sister Colleen. Our last name starts Sch and ends with the y sound. We tend to lean toward older, traditional names in the past and we don't want anything too popular/trendy.

Here are a few we are thinking about.

* Cora Nicole

* Elena Nicole

*Sienna Nicole

* Maren (or Marin) Nicole

We are also considering Hazel, Corinne (LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this name but it may be too close to our first daughter's), Celia and Norah.

Any suggestions or preferences would be appreciated!

With big sister Colleen I would avoid Cora, Celia and Corrine due to matchyness although I like them all.

Elena while I love it, has so many pronunciations that it deters me from the name.

I vote Maren.

Marin is masculine.

Cora was my top choice until I read that you have a Norah. Way too close!
What about Maeve?

Disney just released the name of its newest princess: Elena. Such a pretty name but I am sure it's going to get more popular now. My very favorite name was Corinne but I just felt like it was too close to our DD's name, Colleen.

Thanks everyone for the input. I appreciate it! I think my problem is that I like them all so it's hard to eliminate any.

Actually I think Norah was just on her list, not an actual suggestion.

I would toss Cora & Corinne because they start with the same sound as Colleen(Cora is great tho). Celia would be ok from that standpoint but I want my kids to all have different initials. None are really my style. Sienna maybe?
