Girl names that go with Leo

cbl709 · July 2013

We are having a little girl and our son is Leo. Looking for name suggestions.

We like more traditional but are willing to be a little different.

cannot do Clare, Caroline or Emma (Emaline, emerson or any EMs)

Like Elle, Grace, Lily, Charlotte

Would love to use Eileen (GM name as middle)

Any suggestions?!

Let me preface this by saying that I am not attempting to "call you out" or anything, just using this to comment on a trend that I see on this board.

I notice that there are a lot of threads about sibling set names. Why is that? Are people really concerned about their children's names "matching"? If so, why?

The kids are going to grow up and live their lives. It just seems strange. Like, say a person has two boys. When one of them is 30 years old, his friends aren't going to say, "Your brother is named PATRICK? My God man! What were your parents thinking? THAT DOESN'T MATCH YOUR NAME AT ALL!!!!"

When I had my daughter, I was concerned about giving her a name that would carry her through her entire life. When she was a baby and toddler, people thought her name was "old". Now it (and one of its variations) is one of the most popular names around (no, not Sophia).

For my son, I was concerned about a "lifetime" name, but also how well it went with his last name, since, unlike his sister, he'd be stuck with it for life. But it never dawned on me to consider how their names sounded together.

I'm not knocking it because, to each their own, I'm just trying to understand it.
