Picking a girl name!

rosemomma · May 2017

We just found our second baby is going to be another girl and we are so stuck on names! I had a boy name I loved but there are no girl names I really like

Our DD is Evelyn Jane and I love her name.

The closest I've gotten to liking a name is:

London Elizabeth or Norah Wren.

Do you have a favorite between those two? Or any other suggestions?

Norah Wren.

Landon is allllllllll boy. Especially with sister Evelyn.

lm45678 · May 2017

Norah 100%

I also like Norah Elizabeth

mrs_tacos · May 2017

Norah Wren sounds wonderful with Evelyn Jane. London sounds masculine next to Evelyn.

doodleoodle · May 2017

Norah Wren by a mile. London is not good.

bbiutmcph · May 2017

Nora Wren for sure. London sounds incredibly Klassy next to Evelyn sorry.

MamaWren919 · May 2017

I love Norah, and it fits perfect with Evelyn. London isn't as classic. Suggest: Audrey or Juliet

coastalmomma2 · May 2017

I love Norah Wren. Agree with pp that Norah Elizabeth also is a good option.

MrsCFB · May 2017

Agree with everyone else...Norah Wren. I also like Audrey, Camille, Meredith, Elaina, Victoria, and Claire.

holli0801 · May 2017

Agree with above! Norah!

rosemomma · May 2017

@Bringmemylongswordho I think you read London as Landon

rosemomma · May 2017

@MrsCFB I like Claire and Camille

rosemomma · May 2017

@MamaWren919 my sister in law wants to use Juliet when she has a daughter so that one is out.

rosemomma · May 2017

I do like Norah Wren (particularly Wren). The only issue I have with it is that I had a great aunt named Nora and my family will assume the baby is named for her which annoys me. I'll have to see if I can get over that.

I also found the name Leona today and I think Leona Wren could be cute. I'm looking for more classic but somewhat unknown names.

leighry · May 2017

I like Norah a lot but the rah at the end and the wre at the beginning of wren sounds a little awkward to me. Love Norah Elizabeth though! I don't mind London I just don't think it flows as well with Evelyn. Leona Wren is great too!!

FakeFinn · May 2017

Definitely Norah. I like Leona as well! How about Wren as a first name?

Suggestions:
Eleanor
Edith
Vivian
Bernadette
Beatrice
Marigold
Ruby
Cecelia
Colette
Clementine
Viola

I did. It doesn't change my opinion though.

Leona is great though.

mcornally · May 2017

What about Lenora? I love Nora and Wren! They are actually both on our list for baby girl #2. We have an Elaina for dd #1.
Also suggest
Willa
Noel

Wren is also on our name list as DH is half-Japanese, and we are looking for names that would transverse both languages (Wren/Ren). I'm not sure I'm particularly fond of Leona Wren, since it would technically mean "lioness wren" - unless name meanings don't have much influence on your choices, of course!

I think @FakeFinn makes some lovely suggestions, my favorites being Eleanor and Clementine. I think Eleanor & Evelyn make adorable sibling names - Ellie & Evie! Love it!

Elizabeth Wren or Wren Elizabeth

queenbone · May 2017

Norah for sure. London does not compliment you other daughter's name at all. Wren is very sweet. I prefer it over Elizabeth, but both are good options in the MN spot.

Millicent/Millie
Cora
Beatrix
Lucinda
Cordelia
Della
Sybil

rosemomma · May 2017

@FakeFinn I love Wren as a first name but we felt it sounded awkward with our daughter's name Evelyn.

rosemomma · May 2017

@queenbone I love Della. Not sure I could convince the hubby though. I actually used to have a pet cow named Della. lol. I think it's really pretty and very under used

rosemomma · May 2017

@silvergreen hmm I didn't think about the meaning of those two names together. I don't hate it but it a little unusual I guess.

Our boy name is Ezra so if we name this baby Ellie and then the next kid is a boy we would end up with an E theme and I'm trying to avoid that. Eleanor is really pretty though.

rosemomma · May 2017

@mcornally I'm adding Lenora to our list! It might be the best of both worlds between Nora and Leona.

mcornally · May 2017

@MrsDaniel315 yay! I love it, I'd never heard of Lenora before until my cousin used it for their daughter. I think it's supposed to derive from Eleanor.

holli0801 · May 2017

Leona is even better!

Ppunkiexx · May 2017

I like Leona and Wren.

cantrellja · May 2017

I like Nora Wren (prefer no h on Norah, which reminds me of Torah). Leona sounds a little too stodgy to me.

JMU_Bride09 · May 2017

Norah Wren. Other ideas:

Frances Meredith
Hadley Perpetua
Mae Piper
Nicole Louise
