Hey guys, I've been really trying to work on my girls' list since I'm not all that happy with it, and I have a few favors to ask. Please give any feedback you have on the names below and give suggestions to fill in the blanks where possible. In addition, if you have any suggestions for just first names based on what you see my style is, that would be great. Sorry it's long, feel free to comment on as many or as few as you like. I appreciate the help. So, here we go:

 

(note; honoring names important to me are names comtaining Lind/Lin and Lorelei, in addition to Lee, which I'm not sure if I like on a boy or a girl more. Also, do you think Lynne would be acceptable as an honoring name for Linda, or is it a little too much of a stretch?)

 

Main Names & Combos

 

Claire _____ - Right now I have Claire Melinda on my list, honoring my mother in the middle name spot, but it's just not seeming all that special to me anymore.

Annaliese Maeve / Maeve Annaliese - I can't decide which combo I like better, because I love both names. What do you think? I'm also considering Claire Annaliese, but I try with my main combos to contain an honoring name, so I'm not sure.

Clara Linden / Clara Lorelei / Clara Lee - I love Clara Lee and Clara Lorelei, and Clara Linden is just okay to me, but I'm trying to find a way to include a Lin/Lind name to honor my mother somewhere in here.

Zoë Lorelei / Zoë Linden - I love Zoë, and as usual I love Lorelei just a little bit more. I really am trying to commit to not having several combos containing the same name, so I'd like input with those.

Beatrice Lorelei / Beatrice Clara / Beatrice Claire / Beatrice Maeve - I'm clearly indecisive here. Help!

Ada Jane - I do like this name but I feel like it's a little plain.

Alice ____ - I had Alice Juniper on my list, but I'm not sure.

Juniper "June" _____  - I had Juniper Kate on my list, but it's nothing special.

Evangeline "Eva" Mae - This one I love, but it feels a little cordial in comparison to my other names. I like just Eva, but it feels incomplete to me.

Cassia _____ - I love "Cass" names, and Caspar is on my boys' list. I had Cassia Lorelei, which I do really love, but as mentioned above I'm trying to pick JUST ONE first name for Lorelei.

 

Other Singles

 

Eleanor "Ellie" (I feel like this one is too cordial as a full name in comparison to my others, maybe will just take it off my list)

Vivian/Vivienne - I have loved this name forever, but it's lost it's luster a little bit for me.

Bridget

Alexandra (mostly middle name option)

Theodora (same as Alexandra)

Maya - I have recently discovered my love for this name, and I like Maya Guinevere but it's not entirely my style.

Hazel

Lily

Main Names & Combos

 

Claire _____ - I'm not a huge fan of Claire, but it's a classic and I see it aging well. What about Claire Winona, Claire Louisa, Claire Penelope, Claire Rowena, Claire Georgina, Claire Miranda, or Claire Daniella?

Annaliese Maeve / Maeve Annaliese - I like Maeve Annaliese better, it just flows better in my head. Claire Annaliese is nice too, but I prefer Maeve Annaliese.

Clara Linden / Clara Lorelei / Clara Lee - Clara Lee flows best to me, and I much prefer Clara to Claire. Clara Linden would be my second choice, and Clara Lorelei my third, the flow of the latter really puts me off.

Zoë Lorelei / Zoë Linden - I actually prefer Linden with Zoë, the flow is much better in my opinion, although I do prefer Linden for a boy.

Beatrice Lorelei / Beatrice Clara / Beatrice Claire / Beatrice Maeve - My favourite of these is Beatrice Lorelei, it flows much better as a middle here than it does with Clara and Zoë.

Ada Jane - I agree that it's a little plain. Maybe Adeline Jane, Adair Jane, or Adriana Jane?

Alice ____ - I love Alice Juniper, it's a mix of classic and spunky and I adore how it flows.

Juniper "June" _____  - Hmm, I agree about Juniper Kate not feeling right, how about Juniper Claire, Juniper Lily (too naturey?), Juniper Chloe, Juniper Tatum, or Juniper Phoenix?

Evangeline "Eva" Mae - I like this one, it's very elegant feeling, but the nickname Eva gives it a spunky vibe too. I think it fits just fine with your other names.

Cassia _____ - I agree that Cassia Lorelei would be lovely, but since you want some more suggestions house about Cassia Willow, Cassia Lynne, Cassia Olive, Cassia Poppy, Cassia Felicity, Cassia Blythe, or Cassia Nancy?

 

Other Singles

 

Eleanor "Ellie" - I completely adore Eleanor, despite it being so popular near me I still love it. I think it goes really well with your list actually, and I could definitely see sisters named Evangeline and Eleanor, Clara and Eleanor, Maeve and Eleanor, or Beatrice and Eleanor. I have Eleanor Faye on my list, but I also like Eleanor Lucy, Eleanor Lily, Eleanor Rosemary, Eleanor Scarlet, and Eleanor Vivian.

Vivian/Vivienne - I also adore this one. I can totally see Eleanor and Vivian being sisters, and I think that it's definitely coming back in trend now. How about Vivian Lee, Vivian Clara, Vivian Lily, Vivian Wylie, Vivian Georgia, Vivian Thalia, or Vivian Elise?

Bridget - Another cute name. What about Bridget Eleanor, Bridget Vivian, Bridget Hope, Bridget Louisa/Louise, Bridget Skye, Bridget Danielle, or Bridget Finola?

Alexandra - I'm not a fan of this one, but can see it as a great middle name. Bridget Alexandra, Vivian Alexandra, Hazel Alexandra, Lily Alexandra, Maya Alexandra, Chloe Alexandra, Cassia Alexandra, Willow Alexandra, or Ruby Alexandra?

Theodora - Bridget Theodora, Lily Theodora, Hazel Theodora, Maya Theodora, Emma Theodora, Sophie Theodora, Britney Theodora, Lucy Theodora, Evie Theodora, or Sarah Theodora?

Maya - Maya Guinevere is gorgeous. Maya Cecily, Maya Felicity, Maya Penelope, Maya Charlotte, Maya Catherine, Maya Elizabeth, Maya Rosalie, Maya Rosemary, or Maya Christine?

Hazel - Hazel Ann, Hazel Winona, Hazel Ramona, Hazel Theresa, Hazel Catriona, Hazel Vivian, Hazel Isabella, Hazel Persephone, or Hazel Athena?

Lily - Lily Ramona, Lily Rowena, Lily Winona, Lily Annabella, Lily Harriet, Lily Claire, Lily Josephine, Lily Brooklyn, Lily Jessica, Lily Sarah, or Lily Tabitha?
