Baby Sister for Everly Rose

19 replies

Alexxajaye · 12/02/2022 21:34

Hi Momma’s!
Looking for your opinions on a name for my second baby girl due in May! I have a 3 year old daughter who’s name is Everly Rose and I had her name picked out before I even knew her gender. I’m struggling to find a name I love as much and want something that will compliment Everly’s name! Pretty, a little trendy, sassy but not overused. I’d like to use the middle name Claire as that was my grandmothers name who passed away last year. Our last name is heavy on vowels ( Eeee-lie-uh) and often people don’t pronounce correctly so I worry about how that will sound with the first name having similar ending letters.
Our top contenders are:

Cecilia Claire
Sadie Claire

(These are names my hubby and I have both agreed on)

What are your thoughts?

Sadie is pretty

TabithaHazel · 12/02/2022 21:40

Cecilia 'Eeee-lie-uh' wouldn't sound great to be honest. Sadie is quite nice, how about something like Saskia, Seren or Sylvie?

Kanaloa · 12/02/2022 21:48

I like both but like Sadie best, I think Cecilia might be a bit much with a vowel heavy surname.

Livvielo · 12/02/2022 21:50

Sadie ticks all your criteria I think. It goes well with Everly. I second the name Saskia, but only if it goes with the surname.
Sienna, Scarlett, Amelianna, Marnie, Marcie, Mirabelle?

NaerDoWell · 12/02/2022 21:51

Sadie is lovely and goes well with the other names.

EishetChayil · 12/02/2022 23:19

If your surname is pronounced Ee-lie-uh, why are you even considering Cecilia?

Alexxajaye · 12/02/2022 23:25

Because we love the nickname Cece which we plan to call her, however we want her to still have a formal name

There’s a famous Instagram family with a daughter called Everleigh Rose - their younger daughter is called Posie Rayne! Look up Savannah Labrant if you’re interested.

How about Cecily if you want to use CeCe?

sadpapercourtesan · 12/02/2022 23:32

You could go for Cecily, with the nickname Cece, which wouldn't duplicate the ee-lie-uh sound?

sadpapercourtesan · 12/02/2022 23:32

duh, x-post!

Crowdfundingforcake · 12/02/2022 23:33

Leonora Claire
Eleanor Claire
Susannah Claire
Natalie Claire
Anastasia Claire
Ariadne Claire
Adeline Claire
Jennifer Claire

Crowdfundingforcake · 12/02/2022 23:34

Actually, you could use CeCe as nn for Anastasia.

Kitkat151 · 13/02/2022 00:03

Are you Savannah?🙄

Alexxajaye · 13/02/2022 00:22

Yes I’m familiar with her, my husband is very picky on names so these are the only two so far we have agreed on. He’s not at all into trendy names. Not looking to copy someone else. Just looking for what would compliment Everly the most out of our top choices. Thanks for your help

Maybe Sienna for Cece? Spelled differently but has the same sound. Didn’t realise there was a celebrity child with your child’s name already but I don’t think it matters. Every had a little moment of popularity a few years ago and Rose is the middle name of almost every child I know it seems like! And it’s already your child’s name, so I wouldn’t worry about it.

Rosieposie101 · 13/02/2022 05:31

I don't think Cecilia and Everly go well together at all. Also I don't think Cecilia would work with your surname at all? Cece is a very popular nickname and can be used for loads of names:
Cecily
Mercy
Felicity
Sienna
Or even any name with initially C.C (which could work if you are using Claire as a middle name? Cassia Claire? Nickname Cassie or Cece? I think Cassia goes nicely with Everly.)

I do like Sadie and think it goes nicely with Everly.

Rosieposie101 · 13/02/2022 05:33

Sienna goes well with Everly too.

Good God.
