Names similar to Lola, Luca, Cora

KelliLynee

DD is Lilah and I am obsessed with the name Lola but its so matchy matchy with Lilah that I"m not sure I can get past it. I also love Luca, though not as much as Lola. Cora is another favorite, though DH isn't on board (he prefers Coral). I also love Luna, but its DHs cousins name so we wouldn't do that.

So, give me all your cute short girl names that aren't even remotely popular : )

(We are team green, so may not even need a girls name!).

ETA:  We are well aware that Luca is traditionally used as a boys name, we just don't care. We believe that a name is that which you give to something. Its only a boys name because thats how people choose to use it that way. If we name a girl Luca, then it will fit her perfectly.

I agree Lilah and Lola are too matchy. I like Lola a lot but would never use it becaue I had a hateful back stabbing boss named Lola! I love Cora but if your DH isn't on board that doesn't work. I don't like Luna at all. How about Jade, Leah, Eden?

LO is Nina.  Lila(h) is on our list for #2.  It's like the same name, just Ns instead of Ls!

I believe Luca is actually a boy's name, at least in Italian.  Lucy, Leah, Laine. Sorry I'm not full of names today.  I prefer Coral to Cora.

You're right, Lola is waaaaay too matchy with Lilah. Don't try to get past it. The combination is no good.

Lilah and Cora is cute, but Lilah and Coral is honestly better (are you sure you can't get on board with it?).

Luca is a boy's name, 100%. It has no business being used on a girl.

To avoid being too matchy, you might try names that don't begin with L, and/or don't end in A:

Ada

Ivy

Isla (eye-luh)

Britta

Callie

Dora

Della

Demi

Evie

Esther

Etta

Vera

Farrah

Gina

Maeve

Mae

Belle

Nova

Clara

Tara

Stella

Zoe

Tessa

Adele

Chloe

Zelda

ETA: I failed a bit at the "not even remotely popular" bit, so disregard the Top 20 names as needed.

Kaya, Elsa, Esme, Nola, Iris, Rosa, Keira, Cara, Mara, Maren, Tess, Thora, Nina?

Too bad DH won't get on board with Cora.  I know Lila/Cora sibset and think they fit well together.  Other suggestions:  Ella, Anna, Leah, Cara, Mia, Keira, Brynn, Jane, Esme, Nora?

Luca is a boy's name in French, as well.

I'm using Cora if this baby is a girl. My DD1 is Liza, which I also love, but might be too matchy with Lilah. Oh and my cat's name is Lola so we must have similar taste in names

Let me think of the other names on my short list last time and I'll write another post.

Ha! How funny... yes I would be interested in the other names on your list since it seems like we like a lot of the same.

 

I will add to the posters who commented on Luca being a boys name, we don't care : ) A name is that which you give to something. Its only a boys name because thats how people choose to use it that way. If we name a girl Luca, then it will fit her perfectly.

Aw, I was gonna suggest Luna.

FWIW, my nieces names are Luca and Lola.  And Luca's name is perfect for her!  My SIL is in the same boat if they have another girl.  Good Luck!!

Although it may be a bit too popular for your taste, Nora(h) would be a great fit.  I'm also really digging Coral...

Luca is my favourite boy's name. I don't think it sounds feminine at all.

I have nothing to add but when I say Luca and Lola in my head, it sounds like I am having a hard time saying the famous General Hospital couple "Luke and Laura"

How about Astrid?!

My first thought was Layla, but I didn't see you already had a lilah! Whoops!

Thats fine with us. Not all girls are feminine, even those with ultra-feminine names.

FWIW, I thought Luca was a girls' name when I first heard it.  I still think it's girly.  It's the A at the end.

To the OP, I'm interested in hearing which names you like of all the ones suggested.  You seem to only have commented on Luca....but that was one of your own suggestions.  You asked for ideas....do you like any of them?

I do! I love a lot of these names and there were some really great suggestions, many of which are right up mine and DHs alley. I'm just not sure any are a fit for us.

Some I really like from this post were Nova, Isla, Britta, Etta, Stella (love but DH vetoed, I also love variations like Estella, or Estelle), Astrid (also like Aster), I've always loved Kiera (not Keira) but now with the popularity of Keira I wont do it because I'm sure it would constantly be misspelled.
