Baby Girls Names Taken from Family Tree

[Jse266]

Looking at names for our 2nd DD. My first DD’s name was a nod to my family and I would like our 2nd to be linked to my DH’s. From my DH side we like the GGM’s

1.Emily
2.Alice
3.Daisy

Hortense as my DH’s GM we would consider for 2nd name?
Rosie - My 3 year old DD has now thrown Rosie (Rose) in the mix, which has kind of grown on me since she said it and I would add to list but my DH hates it!! ( I think though she just likes it because of Peppa Pig and the Mrs Rabbit having twins episode) but she can’t get it out of her head now!

My husband is really set on Emily, but I prefer Alice or Daisy, so we have to compromise somehow.

Any thoughts on combinations? We have a one syllable last name.

Emily Alice
Emily Rose – ( I do love this one, but it keeps reminding me of that exorcism film)
Alice Rose
Alice Emily
Emily Hortense

What’s your first DD name out of interest?

I think you have a gorgeous list there and can’t go wrong

I like Alice and Emily best but would be really happy to use Rosie too

Emily is just so timeless

Thanks. My DD is Sophie.

Alice rose is lovely.

Emily Alice.

Alice Rose

Emily Rose. I know it little girl called this and it's beautiful

I know a*

I have nothing to contribute other than to say I love Emily, Alice, Daisy and Rose (and Sophie!). We have an Emily but all the others were on our list as well :)

I don't think Emily or Daisy really work as middle names, so would go for one of the other two. I think any of the combinations work other than Daisy and Rose together - bit too floral!

I don't like the look of Hortense personally but I haven't come across it before.

Emily Rose is lovely, and Sophie and Emily sound good together.

Alice Rose

They're all nice and sounds fine with Sophie. There's not much to choose between them, they're all classic, popular, pretty girls names.

Sophie and Emily sound amazing together but your other choices are really solid too

Really dislike Emily - it’s so bland and dated to my ears. I adore Alice, Rose and Daisy. My favourite from your list is Alice Rose. Definitely not Hortense

You can’t have Emily Rose. That name sends shudders down my spine as I just think of the terrifying horror movie

I'd go with Alice but any of them are good and go well with Sophie. Maybe wait and see what she looks like?

My sister's are called Sophie Margaret and Emily Alice!! I also want Alice as a middle name if I have a daughter (finding out next week!) as it's a family name and was my grandmothers middle name as well as my sisters. I love Emily Rose (don't watch scary films so no idea about the exorcist haha!) - otherwise Alice Rose sounds lovely too. Have you considered Amelie instead of Emily? Just a thought!

Emily is lovely!

Emily Alice
Emily Rose – ( I do love this one, but it keeps reminding me of that exorcism film)
Alice Rose
Alice Emily
Emily Hortense

I like Rosie but siblings should not be naming their baby siblings. (although the ones that I know who did got ok names). The baby is usually named after a doll or cartoon character or their best friend that week.

Emily is a classic.
Love Alice.
Daisy is nice but a bit lightweight.

Middle name:
Hortense is a bit different and suggests a french connection
Rose will be every other girl's middle name. Nice but unimaginative.

Sophie and Alice are the best sibling names.

Which name goes best with your surname? Middle names hardly ever get used.

How about

Emmaline
Rosamund
Roseanna
Marguerite, which is aka Daisy
Louisa

Good call @ EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard. They are fab alternatives

Alice Rose is beautiful!!!

But Emily love too as middle name especially with short surname

Alice Rose.

Sophie and Emily sound lovely!
Sophie and Daisy both have the e sound at the end which I don't think sounds good

Alice!

Daisy is gorgeous. I used it for my DDog and regret it now because I’d love to use it if I have a girl.
