Baby Names

Girl name for sibs Julia and Emma

I have posted here before, our frontrunner is Cora. And I really like it (hubby loves it). I'm concerned about all the names ending in an "a". I would like it to have a different ending like an "N" or an "EE" sound, however we just keep coming back to names that end in A.  Is it too matchy to have all girl names end in an A?

Julia Rae

Emma Grace

Also, would it be totally crazy to name #3 Grace Juliet?! lol.  I love the name Grace (Gracie) and kinda wish I would've saved it for #3 had I known we'd have another girl.

Thanks!!

  • I don't think the a ending is a problem as long as the names are different in other ways. Julia and Cora aren't matchy at all. Emma and Cora are a tiny bit matchy (same syllables and ending) but certainly fine because of the different consonants and a very different vowel sound. Emma and Ella = no, Emma and Cora = yes.

    I wouldn't use Grace as a fn when it is already a mn. Especially not w/ Juliet ? it looks like you just made #3's name out of #1 and #2.

    I think Cora is lovely. Other names that might fit your style (short, sweet, popularity no obstacle):

    Nora

    Sophie/Sophia

    Lily

    Lucy

    Clara

    Laura

     

  • I think Cora would go with tthe others.

  • I wouldn't worry about them being too matchy. The only thing in common is the "a" at the end. All 3 names are different in my opinion. Also I wouldn't use Grace for another child. I think its better to give each child their own name. GL!

  • I think Cora makes a good sib set with the other names, not matchy at all.
    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.

  • I like Cora.  And I do think it would be quite strange to use Grace Juliet.

    Yes Love Grace (Gracie) Juliet!!
  • I don't see anything wrong at all with having all your girl's names end in "a." All three names have enough variations in sounds.

    I agree with this.  I like Cora!
