Girl and boy name to go with Ella and Amelie?

[marchblossom]

Have huge mega lists and feel like I've exhausted every name possible. Current DDs Ella and Amelie and need a boy or girl name for third DC on the way :)

I like slightly unusual/'hipster' names (Ella was unusual 10 yrs ago!!) but simple to spell/say and pretty. For a boy I tend to lean towards the Hebrew names like Noah etc, but would love something a little more unusual. For example; I like Bodhi but I know I won't convince my husband ! No J names due to surname.

Seth and Cora

I really love Zara for a girl. I think it's a very girly yet strong name somehow :)

We are 3 weeks off having dc2 and I'm so stuck with names. Ella is on our top 2 of girls, which I see you have!
For boys we have Theo as dc1. Not sure what you think of this?
On our list for dc2 we have Isaac, Jake and Oliver. Really struggling to find names we like that aren't massively common!

Maria?

I think I mis-read Amelie for Amelia, hence my Coralie suggestion.

This is hard!

How strange @marchblossom - Sabine came into my head as soon as I read the thread title.

I think Coralie and Amelie are quite similar but you could get away with it as they start so differently. (May be slightly biased as myself, siblings and cousins almost all had names ending in an ‘a’ sound and it was a bit of a family ‘thing’ )

My OH suggested Emily. I don’t think he was paying attention.

Iris

Or

Felix

Clarisse?

@ProlificLurker Reuben and Sabine are my original top 2! :) Do you not think Coralie is too matchy with Amelie?! I absolutely love it but not sure when I sound them all together.

[ProlificLurker]

Sabine (French pronunciation - Sa-been)
Ingrid (to keep up with vowel initials)

Really like Coralie though

And Reuben

[marchblossom]

@WhereIsBlueRabbit your boys list is my list haha! Plus Nathaniel...that is really in the running now...I never considered it before due to having a Nathan in the family, but if I keep thinking like this every name would be taken! My friends and family have good name taste

[marchblossom]

@Pandoraphile it is such a beautiful name but much too close with the El start for my liking. So many good suggestions, thanks all!

[marchblossom]

@sycamore54321 I actually really love Coralie but thought much too matchy with Amelie !

[sycamore54321]

I meant they sound too closely alike for me, with the long "El" first syllable in both.

Olivia

Thanks, Aurea

Maybe Ella from Stella (star), although Ella means light. Celeste means heavenly I think. I think it's a beautiful correlation.

[RainbowdropsandUnicorns]

How is Celeste too close to Ella?

[sycamore54321]

Ella and Eliana? Surely not.

[Pandoraphile]

Pronounced Ell - E - AR - NA

[Pandoraphile]

Eliana
Max

[sycamore54321]

Celeste is too close to Ella I would think. And as for the person who suggest Elliot, I assume they can't be serious.

If you like Coraline, there is also a French name Coralie (pronounced -lee) which might suit?

[PeggySchuylar]

Reuben

Ingrid
Margot
Pearl

[WhereIsBlueRabbit]

For a girl, the first name I thought of was Ava, but not sure if it sounds too similar to Ella? I feel like you need a fairly short name, and nothing too frilly, if that makes sense.

How about

Flora
Iris
Grace
Cara
Orla
Iona
Mabel

For boys, I love previous suggestions of Reuben and Nathaniel. Also
