Baby name needed: Girl or boy name for Adele’s sibling

Here’s an e-mail I got from a reader named Sara:

I’m expecting baby #2 in spring. Our daughter’s name is Adele. We’re not finding out the gender, so would like options for boys and girls names that go well with Adele. For girls, I’m liking Elise, Caroline, Winifred and Celia as examples. For boys, Foster, Joseph and Thomas come to mind. Welcome all suggestions! Thanks!

Winifred! I was excited to see that one.

Here are some other possibilities:

Boy names

Frederick
Henry
Hugh		Julian
Louis
Mark		Martin
Nathan
Oliver		Philip
Robert
Peter		Simon
Walter
William

Girl names

Beatrice
Camille
Claire		Corinne
Eugenie
Gillian		Iris
Johanna
Louise		Lucia
Marion
Naomi		Nicole
Rose
Thea

Which of the above do you like best with Adele? What other names would you suggest to Sara?

Baby names needed: Boy and girl names for fraternal twins

A reader named Abby is expecting fraternal twins, a boy and a girl, in October. She and her husband already have a son named Leo Sebastian.

They’re aiming for vintage names (with kind of a quirky/British feel) that aren’t too popular. These are their favorites so far, top picks in italics.

Her Picks:Edward (Teddy)

Maxwell (Max)
Oliver		Alice
Elsa (Elsie)

Violet
His Picks:August (Auggie/Gus)
Dashiell (Dash)		Beatrix
Felicity
Matilda
Penelope (Nellie)
Ramona

Abby says, “He thinks mine are slightly boring, I think his are a tad too flamboyant.”

They’d like our opinions on two things:

  1. What other boy and girl names would we suggest?
  2. Out of the current favorites, what are the best pairings?

The twins’ surname will be similar to Waters.

Here are my thoughts…

1. First, name suggestions. Most of these names have a vintage feel, and none of are currently in the top 100 (though several are heading that way).

I didn’t include any w-names, but I was tempted to throw in Willa and Winifred (Winnie). Maybe even Wilhelmina (Minnie).

2. Out of the current favorites, Henry and Penelope are the two I like best for twins. I also like Maxwell and Beatrix (because both have that quirky x).

What other names/pairings would you suggest to Abby?

Baby names needed: Names for twin girls

A reader named Bridgette is having twin girls in October and would like some name suggestions.

The plan is to use the babies’ grandmothers’ names, Eileen and Patricia, as middle names. So Bridgette and her husband are interested in names that sound good in front of either Eileen or Patricia. (Especially Patricia–that’s the one they’re having a hard time with.)

Here are the names currently under consideration:

Alice
Amelia		Corinne
Gwyneth		Juliette
Margot		Paige
Renee		Sabrina
Shannon

Bridgette and her husband like different types of names (i.e. one likes unisex, the other prefers feminine, etc.) so it sounds like they’re open to all sorts of suggestions–so long as the suggestions work with Eileen and/or Patricia.

Finally, here’s a cute observation Bridgette made:

Husband’s mostly Irish and says he’d like an Irish name, but seems to gravitate toward French sounding names.

Sounds like she knows him better than he knows himself. :)

Here are some of the name ideas I had, to kick things off:

Camille
Celeste
Charlotte
Claire
Clarice
Daphne
Darcy
Edith
Elise
Esme		Eve/Eva
Frances
Grace
Hannah
Jocelyn
Judith/Judy
Kelly
Lucille/Lucy
Mabel
Maeve		Marie
Meredith
Michelle
Molly
Naomi
Nicole
Opal*
Penelope
Rachel
Romana		Rosie
Ruth
Sabine
Sadie
Simone
Suzanne
Sylvie
Tara
Vivian/Vivienne
Yvonne

*It’s the birthstone for October, so I had to throw it in.

Which of the above do you like best? See any good pairings? What other names and name pairings would you suggest to Bridgette?

Where did the baby name Laline come from in 1924?

The character Laline Kingston from the movie "Six Days" (1923).
Laline Kingston from “Six Days“

The name Laline has appeared in the U.S. baby name data just once, in the middle of the 1920s:

  • 1926: unlisted
  • 1925: unlisted
  • 1924: 8 baby girls named Laline [debut]
  • 1923: unlisted
  • 1922: unlisted

Where did this one-hit wonder come from?

A silent film called Six Days, which was released in September of 1923.

The main character, Laline Kingston (played by actress Corinne Griffith), was an “American society girl whose scheming and extravagant mother force[d] her into an engagement with Sir Charles Chetwyn, a wealthy Englishman.” While visiting Paris, though, Laline met and fell in love with Dion Leslie, a young sculptor who (of course!) happened to be Chetwyn’s son.

The movie was based on the 1923 novel of the same name by British romance writer Elinor Glyn. The novel was also serialized in at least a few U.S. newspapers in late 1924.

What are your thoughts on the name Laline?
