Alright naming gurus, I'm bored and
nowhere near getting pregnant again but I'm curious as to which names
you like so please name my hypothetical second child. My son's name is
Philip. I never really got to brainstorm girl names so I'll focus on those:
Lena (H dislikes it as a full name so any longer name suggestions are welcome)
Lenora (nn Lena)
Holly (rhymes with my first name - too weird?)
Alice
Clara
Maren - doubt I could sell my husband on this one
Possible MNs: Jean, Jane, Mae
Re: name my hypothetical daughter
Lena is just not my style but I don't hate it.
I like Holly but would avoid any rhyming in a family I can't get my our families names straight and they could not be different.
Suggesting:
Maren- Maureen, Miriam, Melanie, Maeve
Alice- Audra, Adele, Ada, Edith, Helen, Florence
Lena- Livia, Linnea
Clara- Celeste, Corinna, Celia
Also
Imogen
Irene
Josephine
Matilda
Rosalie
Aurora
Eliza
Camilla
Lenora Jane
Madeline Jean
Alison (NN Alice?)
Leanna Jane/Jean
I love Mae as a MN option. The only other Mae I have met is my niece. (Serenity Mae, NN Rennie)
I love Lenora. Alice goes really well with Philip. Not a huge fan of Clara, I prefer Claire. Holly is cute. But since it rhymes with your name, I'd avoid it. Maren is just okay. I like Mara, Wren, and Margot.
and I love Jane in the middle name spot. So classic.
Alice is lovely, my favorite of your list & goes well with Philip.
