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.
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
Great list. I also love Josephine, but I would be afraid people would call her JJ. Beatrice Rae Eileen Rochelle Helen Ruth Marcia Rae Lena Rose Sylvie Rose Elizabeth Joy Teresa Renee
I love Louise or Louisa & Josephine from your list. I also love pp's suggestions of Abigail & Beatrice. Suggesting Anna, Alice, Sarah or Sadie, Chloe, Hazel. For R names I love Ruth, Renee, Rosalind & suggesting Rhiannon.
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.
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.
