Baby name needed: Girl name for Genevieve’s sister

A reader named Jen has a daughter named Genevieve Grace. She’s now expecting her second daughter and she’d like some baby name ideas. She writes:

[W]e are looking for another delicate, feminine, pretty name that is not over used, is traditional, and goes well with our last name. So far we like Penelope, but I don’t know if I’m sold on that or not.

The baby’s surname starts with D and has just one syllable, so Jen would like the baby’s first name to contain at least two syllables. (And end with something other than D, probably.)

Here are some names that I think might work:

Anastasia
Angeline
Aurelia
Beatrice
Cassandra
Clarice
Claudia
Clementine
Coralie
Cordelia
Cynthia
Eleanor
Eloise		Eugenia/Eugenie
Evangeline
Frances/Francesca
Harriet
Helena/Helen
Isadora
Johanna
Josephine
Letitia
Lucinda
Lydia
Marguerite
Marianne		Marlena
Meredith
Miriam
Oriana
Sophronia
Sylvia
Tatiana
Theodora
Theresa
Valencia
Venetia
Vivienne
Wilhelmina

Which of the above do you like best with Genevieve? What other girl names would you suggest to Jen?

Baby name needed: Middle name for Amelia

A reader named Heather writes:

I’m looking for a middle name for my baby to be. Her first name will be Amelia. Her last name will start with a S.

Let’s see…first thing I’d do is determine which names to avoid. I wouldn’t want a name that might blend with either Amelia or the surname, so I’d take names that start with a vowel or end with an s-sound off the table.

Other than that, it’s all a matter of taste. :) Here are some combinations that caught my fancy:

  • Amelia Celine
  • Amelia Claire
  • Amelia Danielle
  • Amelia Helen
  • Amelia Henrietta
  • Amelia Joan
  • Amelia Jillian
  • Amelia Madeleine
  • Amelia Maria
  • Amelia Pearl
  • Amelia Simone
  • Amelia Theodora
  • Amelia Violet

What other middles would you guys suggest to Heather?

Baby name needed: Girl name for Henry & Anneliese’s sister

A reader named Jennifer is looking for a female name for her third child:

Our other children are named Henry and Anneliese. I would love to use the middle name Lynne but that is not set in stone.

Here are a few ideas:

Beatrix
Charlotte
Clara
Dorothy
Elizabeth
Greta		Josephine
Katharina/Katherine
Margaret
Marlene
Mathilde/Matilda
Miriam		Philippa
Ramona
Rosalind
Rosemary
Theodora/Theda
Susanna

Several of the above wouldn’t work too well with Lynne, but I think they all sound nice with both Henry and Anneliese.
