Girls name to go with James

35 replies

6 yr old is called James, baby girl due early April.

So far we like Mila, Elisa, Etta, Elena.

We liiiiike them but don't LOVE them, and are struggling. I'd like something a bit different and original, but not weird. Any ideas?

That's lovely @Bumblebeesmum

I love Emma, but we can't have it as it's a bit of a controversial name in my partners family! (BIL's ex and mother of our niece)

Emma.

I have a James and if I had a girl I think I'd name her Emma Elizabeth

Snoopy90 · 18/02/2019 20:36

Emily sounds lovely with James. Or Amelie. Could be shortened to Millie.

Cassimin · 17/02/2019 18:05

I have a James and lily.
They are in their 20s now.
My sister loves Harry Potter and told me it’s his parents name.
I got there first.

MikeUniformMike · 17/02/2019 17:55

My first thought was Emma too. I love the names James and Emma.
I don't like Mila or Etta.
Names starting with El have been around a while now and seem a bit tired.

love your choices. my sister has very similar taste in names! how about Lidia, Margot, Marzia, Luna, Jemima, Ruby. good luck x

BlueMerchant · 14/02/2019 20:18

Eliza? Louisa?

crosstalk · 14/02/2019 20:07

Bizarrely I like James and Maud(e).

Also Jemima.

James (or Seamas in Gaelic, Jaime in Spanish) goes with pretty well everything.

Good luck
