Sister for Eliza

39 replies

Feelingkenty · 08/09/2016 13:27

We need to come up with a name for the little sister of Eliza Rose (due early 2017).

We like names that are familiar but not overly common, which is how we ended up with Eliza (shorted to Lize or Ellie) and I'd like something equally "punchy" yet girly and vowel heavy; so we're finding it hard to come up with baby number two's name.

So far on our shortlist are:
Amelia (not exactly uncommon)
Matilda (ditto)
Imogen
Lara
Violet (DH not a fan)
Emilia (too similar?)
Emily (two E names)

We can't use any Bel/Belle ending names due to surname. Other names off limits include:
Ruby
Hazel
Zara
Zadie
Florence
Any K names

Middle name is not yet decided, Grace and Kate are current front runners. Mae is off limits too.

Our surname is two syllables and beings with a K.

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions ladies!

Lara and Imogen from your list. I also like Isla and Iona which would work with Grace as a middle name.

I don't think anyone has suggested Genevieve yet.
I love that you can shorten it to suit:
Jen
Jenny
Eve
Evie
Viv
And I think it's a strong yet feminine name
