Girls Name That Goes With Chloe

63 replies

Having a few issues (mainly with family members) over choosing a nice name for our second child-it's been hinted by ultrasound technician that we're having a girl but won't be confirmed until 20wk scan....regardless we have settled on a boys name but our current girls name of choice has gone done like a lead balloon with both sides of our family!

We already have a little girl (3.8) called Chloe Elizabeth and our current name for baby-if girl-is Lucinda,which we will mostly shorten to Luci (as in Lucy) but none of our family like it even though me and my DH love it! What also adds to the debate within the family over Lucinda is that family all like the name Lucy but just not Lucinda! Problem is that the name Lucy is terribly common here in Essex and while we are happy for our (potential) DD2 to be called Luci (Lucy) as a nn we simply just don't want her to BE a Lucy,if that makes sense!? If she gets called other varying nn such as Luce,Cindy or Cinderella (as my sister mocked) then that's fine by us,just don't want an "official" Lucy for a dd and think Lucinda makes a lovely longer variation on such a common name! Please tell me someone can see our point and agrees with us?!

Also we would like some other names to consider,just in case something else takes our fancy or something we could use as a middle name please? All names beginning with C are out as are any popular names and Alice is already on our list of possibilities.....also after reading loads of threads on here the name Orla is out and so are all the "granny" names-such as Margaret and we don't want anything unisex or too unusual or difficult to pronounce/spell. Probably doesn't leave many names left really but we're really fussy!

I'm a Chloe. My daughter is Lydia. We also considered Lucille which I really liked but it didn't sound right with our very yorkshire sounding surname.

I also liked:

Louisa is lovely and goes well with Chloe.

I love the name Lucy, but don't like Lucinda at all.

NotTreadingGrapes · 12/04/2013 07:23

Lucinda is lovely! (unlike drippy sounding Lucy which is one of my pet hates!)

DonDrapersAltrEgoBigglesDraper · 12/04/2013 03:38

Loving the fact that the first thing the OP specifies is no names beginning with C ... and the first two posters offer up C names. Grin

I love the name Lucinda - much prefer it to Lucy, it is so much more substantial. It's also timeless - a Lucinda could be any age; it's not overly linked with any particular era. Seriously - sod your family and go with it. They will come round in no time.

Another L name which I really love at the moment is Louisa. A rare beast that is an elegant, timeless, classic with lots of nn potential, not popular, but instantly recognisable.

I don't really like Lucinda and agree with your family that if she is going to be Luci then why not go for Lucy.
I like Lucy!

What about Lucia or Lucille as alternatives to Lucinda (I prefer Lucinda). If you and your husband like it I don't think you should let your family put you off it.

However, what about Chloe and:
Amy, Anna, Ayla, Amber, Amelia, Abigail, Alexis, Ariel, Alana, Astrid, Bethan, Brooke, Bella, Daisy, Dana, Emma, Ella, Eva, Erin, Erica, Eden, Ebony, Esther, Elise, Freya, Faith, Flora, Grace, Georgia, Giselle, Hannah, Holly, Hayley, Harriet, Hope, Isla, India, Isabel, Imogen, Isis, Jade, Jasmine, Jessica, Julia, Juliet, Katie, Kathryn, Katelyn, Kayla, Kayleigh, Lauren, Lily, Layla, Leah, Lois, Lydia, Louise, Miriam, Madison, Melissa, Megan, Nicole, Natalie, Nina, Olivia, Paige, Phoebe, Poppy, Pippa, Rebecca, Rosie, Sarah, Sophie, Sadie, Sasha, Thea, Tegan, Verity, Willa, Xanthe, Yasmin, Zara, Zia.
