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

  • Alice and Clara are my favorite. Maren is nice.

    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)

  • Loading the player...
  • Elena, Eleanor (maybe a stretch), Selena, Helena you could use Lena with.

    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.

  • Love Holly Jane! Lenora is good too... but I think holly takes the cake. 
  • What about Magdalena NN Lena? 
    Alice is lovely, my favorite of your list & goes well with Philip. 

  • Thanks all! I've loved the name Lena forever so I was hoping Lenora would get more love. Linnea might work too for a longer version. Hadn't thought of that. Lots of good suggestions here. I guess I might have to ditch Holly. Darn! Alice is becoming a top contender now too. Thanks for giving me more to think about. :)
