Baby Names

Girl name ideas? DH and I are stuck!

We currently have three kids Ma.de.lei.ne, Hen.ry, and El.ean.or. Our last name starts with a J, ends with an S and is 1 syllable.

Our list is very short and I don't love any of them:

Louise (This is DH's top pick, named after his grandma}
Amelia (Seems really popular now)
Claire
Josephine (NN Jo for MY grandma - I really like this, but I don't know if I can get past the alliteration.)

Her middle name will start with an R. Not sure what yet, but all the other kids ended up with R middle names.

Any other suggestions?

  • Honestly I think your list is great. You are going to want to stay with classic type names to fit with your sib set. FWIW I think Josephine Louise sounds really nice.

    I would suggest adding:
    Catherine
    Evelyn
    Victoria
    Vivian
  • I really like Louise with your sibset.

    Not knowing what r na message have been used...

    Louise Ruth
    Louise Reina
    Louise Rosa
    Louise Rachel
    Louise Rebecca 
    Louise Regina 
    Louise Renata
    Louise Rosalind
    Louise Rochelle 
    Louise Roxanne 

    Other names to go with your sibset

    Christine 
    Agatha 
    Delphine 
    Felicity 
    Florence 
    Wilhelmina

  • Claire Rosalie
  • There's a lot of alliteration in my name and it's never been an issue - and I was called JJ as a pp suggested which I actually kind of liked. My DD is Josephine and our last name is also 3 syllables. We thought it would be awkward but it's not at all. Go with what you love, no regrets.
  • I love that you're considering Louise! Beautiful name and one that you don't hear often anymore. I may be biased because it's also a family name for me. 
  • Claire, very classic.

    With your 1-syllable J last name, I'm thinking "Jo Johns" or "Jo Jeffs" or "Jo Jinds" is just a little too country (and alliterative) if you want to use the NN "Jo". NMS.
  • What about Louisa instead of Louise? 

    Due December 27th with baby #7
