A reader named Rebecca is expecting her second baby girl in a couple of weeks and needs help with a name:
Older sister Hannah Jeanne, last name is 1 syllable German starting with K. Looking for something timeless, with history and meaning, but not overdone.
I think the names below are all timeless and meaningful…and, as a bonus, none of them currently rank in the top 100.
| Adeline Bethany Cecilia Eleanor Elisa | Judith Lucia Marion Miriam Paula | Phoebe Priscilla Rachel Roberta Sabina | Sarah Simona Susan Theresa Valerie |
I think a 1-syllable middle (e.g. Lynn, Ruth, Eve, Belle) would work well with nearly any of the above. Plus, it would keep the style of the name very similar to that of Hannah Jeanne.
What do you guys think–what’s a good name for Hannah Jeanne’s little sis?
Update – The baby has arrived! Scroll down to the final comment to find out what her name is.
I like Eleanor, Judith, Lucia, Miriam and Simona. Here are some more ideas:
Adina
Celia
Evelyn
Leah
Leora
Magdalen
Marieka
Naomi
Nydia
Reina
Talia
Here are some suggestions that are timeless, and I believe are all good matches with Hannah Jeanne “K.” I think if you play around with them, you’ll see that quite a few are interchangeable and work well together as both first and middle names. Hope this helps!
Anastacia
Aubrey
Gabrielle
Evangeline
Gwyneth
Alexandra
Victoria
Claudia
Rebecca
Sabrina
Candace
How about Ava or Eva? Charlotte, Helena/Elena, Magdalena, Delia?
I’ve just heard from Rebecca. She decided on the name Eva Grace.
Congratulations!
