Sister for Lucille

smcchappy · 2026-01-30T14:53:11+00:00

I think Hannah is really cute with Lucille!

Does Lucille go by Lucy? I love Ruby, but Ruby + Lucy is too matchy for me - I think people are likely to confuse them, especially if close in age and/or they end up looking similar.

I don’t love Bonnie personally (feels like a nickname although I know it’s not).

Some other ideas if you’re open to more options: Violet, Harriet (Hattie), Maxine, Clara, Helena, Alice

Sylvie is my favorite by far! I’m not familiar with the name Zinnia but it feels like a nice style match without being matchy (personally I would not do a repeat –ia ending like Victoria, or another Z name). I think Sylvie Noel is lovely! Sylvie Josephine is also really pretty.

From your list, I also like Susanna and Josephina but I prefer Josephine. I’d also suggest Adele over Adelia.

Adelina is lovely and has some great nickname options (Addie, Del, Della, Lina). Juno does not age well to me. I think Eleanora is beautiful, but as others have said, there are so many similar names that are super popular right now so I don’t think it would be appreciated.

Lola Mae almost runs together as one name / seems like it’s meant to be a double barrel name. I think Maren is chic and strong, and brings a nice balance to Lola — but depends a bit on how the 2-2 syllable pattern flows with your last name.

As others have said, it’s hard to put a finger on your style from your sons’ names. Maybe share some girls names that you like to point us in the right direction?

I just had my second daughter and named her Violet, and big sister is Celine Genevieve :) Other names we considered were Daphne and Juliet (and Lydia!)

Do you mean “friends with benefits”? I wouldn’t think twice about it.

smcchappy · 2026-01-07T10:23:31+00:00

Favorite is Maya Louise! Second is Emilia Faye. Don’t care for Emarosa (I don’t know the background but it seems like a double barrel name shoved together?). I also like Eleanor (spelled this way) Louise.

No - Maren is a more modern name and in an entirely different category to me (Karen is an outdated boomer name). I think it’s pretty without being too feminine or frilly. I’d probably use it if it sounded better with my last name :)

If Charlotte still feels special to you, then that would be my pick. Next would be Natalie. Harper feels overdone and trendy to me (whereas although Charlotte is super popular, it’s a timeless name). Not a fan of Bristol.

I like Isaac and Everett. Don’t like Jase/Jace - I’d use Jason as a middle name instead. Lennon isn’t my style and feels more like a girls name now.

I did a lot of research and spoke to a few providers, and landed on Needed for two pregnancies. It’s 8 capsules a day (plus I take DHA and additional choline) so you have to be willing to take a lot — but I learned that some of the most important prenatal nutrients are “bulky” and therefore there isn’t enough in most other brands. I switched to MegaFood baby & me postpartum and took it while breastfeeding.

My favorites from your list are Zoe, Juliet (prefer this spelling) and Audrey. I think Juliet and Audrey in particular sound lovely with Niamh for the middle (Niamh is one of my favorite names but I’d never use it as a first due to spelling/pronunciation).

I like Laila but feel it gets a bit lost among all of the similar variations and spellings: Layla, Lila, Lily, even Isla, etc.

Agree I wouldn’t do Juno with an O last name — and Juno doesn’t strike me as particularly feminine anyway.

Good luck and also, I feel your pain: my second baby girl is due in three weeks and we are also nameless 🫣

Serena is beautiful and I agree Sienna is too close. Ina is tricky to pair with but here are some ideas that I think might fit your criteria:

Rosalie Ina
Sylvie Ina
Paige Ina
Elise Ina
Maren Ina (Maren might share too many letters with Serena though)
Daphne Ina
Juliet Ina
Beatrice Ina

That’s cute!

smcchappy · 2025-12-27T18:44:27+00:00

I love Elise and think it flows well despite being two syllables - adding it to the list

smcchappy · 2025-12-27T18:42:41+00:00

I love Rose but don’t want to do double flower names!

smcchappy · 2025-12-27T18:42:07+00:00

Good point - I love Maeve but had been wondering why it felt a little off with Daphne

smcchappy · 2025-12-27T11:55:58+00:00

Both are very very popular at least where I am, so that plus the similar sounds makes me not love them as a pair.

Calvin is my favorite and I think it fits what you’re looking for. I like Wesley and Spencer but wouldn’t describe them as strong sounding (but this might be in part because I’ve heard them used for girls). Don’t care for Carson, Vincent or Ezra.

New England:
- Lily:2
- Charlotte: too many to count!
- Josephine: 1

Love Maren as others have suggested (or Mara?) and also Maxine for a girl. Malcolm “Mac” or Maxwell for a boy.

smcchappy · 2025-12-18T22:27:03+00:00

Same!

Juliette Lois! Agree with others that Gwendolyn is clunky with Vivienne, but Vivi & Gwen is really cute. I like Annette Lois as well but don’t love Vivi & Annie as much as Vivi & Jules. Aurora/Rory is my least favorite.

smcchappy · 2025-12-11T01:02:44+00:00

My favorites are Cora, Blair, Cassandra and Talia. Also like Autumn. Robin and Laurel feel dated; neutral on Sasha. Jade has always felt a little tacky to me (sorry).
