Girl name to go with Thomas and William (sibset)

raefre · April 2012

If we have two boys, they will be named Thomas and William. However, we are having a difficult time finding a first name for a girl to go with those. Our last name is a 3-syllable name starting with an L- and ending in -er. The FN needs to go with the MN of Freyja as its family tradition of an F- MN and Freyja honors DH's Scandinavian heritage.

Our current ideas are

Elise Freyja

Corinne Freyja

Aeri Freyj**

**this is more wishful than realistic

We cannot use Reina bc it is to rhyme-y with Freyja nor Lydia bc it is too similar to our last name. Any other suggestions or do you prefer one of the already given names?

I really like Corrine.

Elise is boring in my opinion.

I don't like Aeri.

I'm not a fan of any of them personally, I guess from your list Corinne would be my first choice. Other options that might work:

Claire

Cora

Katherine/Catherine

Blythe

I like Elise the best and then Corinne. I don't care for Aeri at all.

Your boys names are so classic I was kind of thinking Abigail or Elizabeth , both of which would flow well your mn.

Corinne and Elise are on our short list. My real favorite is Noelle, but DH said no way.

I really like both Elise and Corinne, and I think they sound great with Thomas and William.

Elise is very pretty and goes best with your other children's names.

Thomas and William are such classic, wonderful names. I think Elise would go nicely. I don't care for Corrine, and have no idea how to pronounce Aeri, so I can't say I like it.

Other names I think would sound nice would be: Elizabeth, Caroline, Eleanor, or something along those lines.

Aeri is a transliterated Korean name that can be pronounced Air-ee or, when emphasis is placed on the r, as Edd-ee. Its more of a guilty pleasure sort of name that I love but probably wouldn't ever use.

I do like Elizabeth too.

DH has already vetoed Blythe. poo.

My cousin is Thomas, his sister is Evelyn. I think that fits with your style, and I think the names sound nice together.

If my sister has a boy, he will be William. They have a girl named Laurel. I also think Laurel would be nice, but not sure how the alliteration would be with you.

Thomas and William are strong classic names, and I think any classic girl's name could fit as long as it flows with Freya.

I like Elise and Corinne equally. I like pp's suggestions of Elizabeth, Abigail, and Evelyn. Other traditional names:

Anneliese

Bridget

Catherine

Susannah

Rosalie, Rose, Roselyn

Julianne

Rebecca

Sylvie

Gabrielle

Marian

The alliteration isn't bad, but my name is Laura and would make for confusing times. Evelyn is pretty, but I have a hard time picturing it on a little girl. And as much as I like nn's for boys, I'm not too fond of them for girls; so calling her Evie is out of the question.
