Sibling for Reese?

Mattel · August 2017

My DD is Reese Madeline. It's still too early to know what we are having but it was extremely difficult picking her name so I want to start early. I thought I liked Ellis Irene for a girl but I'm unsure. The only name DH has even slightly liked for a girl is Scarlett. I'm stuck on Easton or Knox for a boy. Help!! What names go with Reese? Any suggestions welcome!

Sorry, but Scarlett is a very nice name, Ellis is terrible for a girl.

I dislike Knox (like the gelatin?) Or Easton (baseball).

I don't really like Ellis for a girl, and honestly Ellie names are so on trend right now so it's not even creative.

Suggest

Quinn
Brynn
Paige
Jocelyn
Irene as a first name.

I do really like Quinn. Paige is our niece's name - it's a great name. The issue I have with Ellis is I would never want her called Ellie, so that's definitely a consideration.

@3rescuepups I do like Scarlett, just didn't feel like it fit with Reese.

I find Scarlett a big frilly and dramatic next to Reese.

I would probably go with another masculine name or at least non frilly. Ellis is very masculine and the potential of Ellie is sooo exhausted

Arden
Sloane
Harper
Bridget
Eden
Taylor
Wren
Adele
Blair

@bbiutmcph I agree. I feel like another semi unisex or not too girly name would pair well with Reese. I really don't want an Ellie. I do love Sloane, that one is on my list but DH isn't a fan.

Thank you for the ideas, ladies!

Love Arden, Wren and Sloane with Reese.

Like pps I am not fond of Scarlett or Ellis with Reese. Both Easton and Knox are very much NMS.

Suggestions:
Juno
Maeve
Tess
Willa
Nova

Gavin
Leo
Miles
Declan (although a bit close to Deacon, the name of Reese Witherspoon's son. Don't know if you'd consider that too themey)
Emmett

I agree another one-syllable, unisex name would work best if you have another girl-- and I'd pick a multi syllable mn that is more traditionally feminine.

Quinn
Drew
Brooke
Greer
Kyle
Vale
Lane

As for boys, I'd suggest choosing a solid, traditional boys name. When you go with a unisex name for your girl, you don't want to do the same thing for your boy (too confusing). Go strong & traditional:

Robert
Thomas
William
George
Henry
John
Michael
Matthew
James
Benjamin
Andrew
Christopher
Daniel

I agree that Ellis isn't a good idea for a girl. I think that Reese and Scarlett would work fine as a sibset. Some other ideas for you:

For a girl:
Hadley
Maxine
Morgan
Yvonne

For a boy:
Connor
Wesley
