A sister for Bella..

[GreekGracie]

Hi everyone,

we are having our second daughter in August and for the life of us can’t decide on a name. We have a daughter named Bella Blue already and was hoping for some suggestions.

Our list so far:
Alba
Lacie
Nixie
Indie
Gigi
Sydney - my fave
Lumi
Lennie
Bonnie
Maeve
Eden
Roxie - husbands fave

but none are jumping out on us! Help please :)

Farrah

None are my usual style but probably Bonnie, although not sure with Bella?

suggestions:

Dyani
Rhiannon
Zara
Evelyn
Lucille
Naomi
Nina

Nina Olive

( Just DONT call her Donna!)

Before reading your options, I thought od Nellie and Elin or Elina, other names with L-sounds.
Pixie?

Sydney Scarlett
Lumi - very popular in Finland, wold people know how to pronounce it?
Lennie - isn't this a boy's name?
Bonnie - sorry to me this is a cow's name like Clover
Maeve - yes love this
Eden - a river
Roxie - okay

Most of these aren't really my style so feel free to ignore my opinion! But from your list I like Alba and Maeve, and Sydney and Eden are also ok. For me, these four are the best by a long shot.

Much prefer Lucy to Lacie. Bonnie ok but not with Bella.

Nixi and Lumi don't seem like real names to me, and Lennie is more of a nickname.How is Gigi pronounced Gee-Gee?

Hate Roxie, sorry.

Roxie Rose

Cassie
Xanthe
Darcy
Marnie
Maggie
Lulu
Romy
Saffron

My aunt is called Sydney (aged about 75) and it's a lovely name but some people assumed she was male (maybe not a bad thing necessarily to have some confusion). Also difficulty spelling it often I think

Maeve is the only nice name on your list. The rest are terrible especially Nixie and Gigi.
What about Luna instead of Lumi? Or Adelaide instead of Sydney?

Of those I’d agree Sidney, otherwise Roxana nn Roxie (just Roxie is too nightclub). Otherwise Alba is fine. Rest pretty grim TBH - I know Gigi is fun but your daughter will have to live with this name, so give her one that doesn’t sound like a random nn you thought up for a laugh.

Lula
coco
ruby
violet
edie
Connie
cassie
joni
suki
romy
olive
penny
winnie
rosie
cora
minnie
dottie

Agree @BunnyFree I'm also not keen on it being shortened to Sid!

@Mumofgirls2017 wow, thank you! Lots on there I like!

Alba - cheap 1980s stereo, Scotland
Lacie - Lacey is a better spelling but it's awful anyway
Nixie - Nix means 'nothing' . Pixie or Dixie is better
Indie - no
Gigi - no, and not with Bella
Sydney - no, Sidonie maybe
Lumi - no
Lennie - Henry
Bonnie - Eminem's Stan, euphemism for chubby
Maeve - not keen
Eden - horrible
Roxie - awful

Indeed it is generally shortened to Sid in our family

Lucinda

Bella and
Willow
Summer
Sofia
Lydia
Lacey
Amber

I like Lacie and Indie from your list.

I haven't seen it on here just a suggestion which you could consider as i think the two names sound lovely but if you have a bella blue, what about beau-bella? So she has her older sisters name after hers 😁 i think they sound catchy tbh just a suggestion x

also beau means beautiful x

Leah

Beau-Bella has to be a joke

Alba and Maeve are ok, not keen on the others.

Alba - how are you pronouncing it? With a b or v sound (prefer v sound)
Lacie - prefer Lexi or Lacey
Nixie - don't like this one
Indie - ok
Gigi - love this!
Sydney - my fave - prefer this spelled Cydney
Lumi - sounds too much like Lumea (the hair removal device for my liking)
Lennie - cute, Leonora - nn Lennie or Nora
Bonnie - love this too
Maeve - ok
Eden - absolutely my favourite - think this is a gorgeous name
Roxie - husbands fave - prefer Roxanne

Have you thought about

• Lux (means light - love this name)
• Nova
• Hero
• Juniper or Juno
• Indigo - nn Indie

no its not a joke just a suggestion, calm down.
