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?

The first name I thought of was Emma.

Which isn't original, but names that are original would look very odd with a plain normal name like James.

I think traditional names would go best.

Bizarrely I like James and Maud(e).

Also Jemima.

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

Good luck

BlueMerchant · 14/02/2019 20:18

Eliza? Louisa?

Totally outing but I have a James, Madeline and Ayla

Maeve

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.

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.

Snoopy90 · 18/02/2019 20:36

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

kaytee87 · 18/02/2019 20:39

Emma.

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