Baby name needed: Girl name for Emmett’s sister

A reader named Teresa wrote:

We are having a hard time choosing a name for our baby girl. She will have a big brother named Emmett Quinn. Our last names starts with K and ends with -ER. We like names that are different, but not weird. We also tend toward 2-syllable names.

Here are a few ideas:

Alice
Audra
Beatrix
Corinne
Daisy
Daphne
Della
Gemma
Georgia
Greta		Hazel
Helen
Iris
Lila
Lucia
Martha
Mona
Myra
Nella
Olive		Petra
Polly
Rhea
Roma
Ruby
Shirley
Stella
Sylvie
Tilda
Willa

The name Emmett was most popular around the turn of the (last) century, so I found many of these by scanning the Social Security Administration’s lists of popular baby names from random years in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Do you like any of the above with Emmett? What other names would you suggest to Teresa?

Baby name needed: Spunky name for Sophie’s little sister

A reader named Mercedes is expecting a baby girl in December:

Our 4-year-old is named Sophie. We love it because it’s cute and spunky. We initially came up with Daphne Colette for baby girl #2. But the more I think about it, the more I worry that Sophie and Daphne sound too similar. What do you think? On that note, can you think of any other names that deliver the same cute and spunky sound?

I was on the fence for a while about Sophie and Daphne…but I think I ultimately agree that they’re too much alike. As for other spunky names, how about:

Astrid
Beatrix
Bettina
Billie
Brynn
Calliope
Chloe
Cleo
Daisy
Darcy
Della		Gemma
Gia
Lila
Lucy
Lyra
Maeve
Mia
Molly
Nelle
Nina
Penelope		Phoebe
Pia
Piper
Reese
Rory
Ruby
Stella
Sylvie
Tamsin
Tess
Zita

(Sylvie and Phoebe are probably too similar to Sophie as well, but I left them on the list just in case.)

What other ideas do you guys have?

P.S. Mercedes is also considering the names Kendall, Julianne, Lola and Gwen.

Baby name needed: Girl name for Elise’s sister

I received this e-mail from a reader named Melissa two days ago*:

My 3 year old is Elise, and I need a girl’s name to go with it. I’m due in less than 2 weeks and we are STUCK! Please help!

Here are some names that might sound good with Elise:

Adele
Amelia
Angie
Anna
Annette
Audrey
Bianca
Camille
Carolyn		Celia
Clara
Flora
Helen
Josie
Lillian
Marie
Molly
Natalie		Nelle
Nina
Noelle
Petra
Simone
Sonya
Sylvie
Willa
Yvette

Some of the names that go with Lydia could also work.

Can you think of other names that go with Elise? (I’m sure Melissa would appreciate any and all suggestions, no matter how random.)

*This question was short and time-sensitive, so I posted it ahead of several others. I apologize to those I skipped over; I will get to your questions soon.

Update – The baby is here! Scroll down to the final comment (dated October 20th) to see what her name is.
