So lately I have been trying to redo my namelist. I've taken out any names I can't see myself using in the future. So, I am now left with almost no names compared to my older list. But I kind of like that, considering I'm not going to have 15 girls, this means I have less names I don't get to use. Haha.

Anyway, here are the names. If you could give me some opinions, or if you think a combo doesn't sound right give some sugestions?

I really like these names, so don't be too harsh please.

Lily Elizabeth
Violet Niamh
Emma Marie
Avia Lucille
Aubrey Nadine
Presley Diana
Grace Aurora

(P.S. I know no one seems to like the way Lily Elizabeth sounds, but I love the name Lily and as of now it's my top choice and my first daughter has to have Elizabeth no matter what. Sorry)

Edit: I have changed Emma Marie to Emma Nicole. And I have taken Presley Diana out for now.

Bump?

Lily Elizabeth - normally I wouldn't like it, but under your conditions I don't mind it! Its not the most horrible clashing ever to be or anything,

just slightly uncomfortable. And especially if Elizabeth honors someone I always make exceptions for honoring names myself! Using a first name you

adore

then just using the honoring name in the middle. I'm that way with Jade. My first daughters middle name will be Jade after Mikes

grandmother, so I just have to hope for the best in it not clashing with other names <3

Violet Niamh - LOVE! I'm not a huge Violet fan, but Violet Niamh just flows so beautifully! I adore the name Niamh, just sounds so pleasant

and looks really pretty. Love this combo!

Emma Marie - I don't care for the repetitive-ness in emMA MArie. Kind of makes the name sound like em mama ree. But both names on their

own are gorgeous names, I love them!

Avia Lucille - Avia is pronounced ah-vee-uh, right? I really like it<3 And it sounds classy and elegant with Lucille!
Aubrey Nadine - pretty pretty! I really like Aubrey, its on my list!
Presley Diana - I'm not a huge Presley fan, sorry I don't like the sound of it on either a boy or a girl. But Diana is a lovely name, I like it.
Grace Aurora - gooorgeous! Elegant and BEAUTIFUL!

I am a huge fan of your list! All such beautiful names! I only dislike ONE name, Presley. But every other name is real beautiful! I think if you switched two of the combo's up they might flow better... what would you think of Emma Diana and Presley Marie? Or even Emma Diane, to rid of the -a endings. Though Emma Diana still sounds super lovely. Just an idea I even think Emma Nadine, Aubrey Diana, and Presley Marie could also work if your looking for a bigger switch up- though I don't think thats necessary. Plus I like Aubrey Nadine. Just rambling here haha, but I really hope I helped!

Thank you Remy!!!
Elizabeth deff. (this computer doesn't have spell check and I have horrible times trying to spell that ONE word. ) honors quite a few people in my family. Haha. So thank-you for understanding. <3

I do agree with the Emma Marie thing, I just couldn't find a first name to go with Marie, or a middle name to go with Emma. Haha.

I am actually starting to not love Presley do be honest, I don't think it goes well with all my other names. But my mom is a huge Elvis fan, and she hates her name so I'm always trying to find names I can use to honor her.
And about switching Emma Marie and Presley Diana around, it's a lovely idea don't get me wrong. <3 It's just Elvis Presley has a duaghter named Lisa Marie. So all I think of when I see Presley Marie is Elvis overload. Haha.

Oh, and yes. Avia is pronounced Aa-Vee-Uh (Aa like the letter A and Vee like the letter V)

Thank-you again Remy.

[ElizabethRuth]

Lily Elizabeth- LOVE IT! It is a little hard to say but its so beautiful.

Violet Niamh- Not a fan of either name.

Emma Marie- This is my cousins name so I'm probably biased but I love it.

Avia Lucille- Avia? Not sure what I think about it. Lucille is pretty.

Aubrey Nadine- I'm surprised by how much I like this name. Aubrey is very pretty and Nadine fits with it so well.

Presley Diana- Not my taste but they go together nicely.

Grace Aurora- This name is so pretty. I LOVE it!

Hehe, if I didn't have spellcheck.. I'd look like a moron lol! I'm pretty bad :l Your welcome though, I totally get it (:

I totally get that too haha! Pairing names because each needs a pair. It is okay, but yeah. Maybe a good middle name will be found over time

Hmm, I agree Presley doesn't match the other names. Maybe you could pull it off as a middle name? That is a fairly obvious association though, a nice way to link to your mum without using a name she doesn't like. Maybe instead of Presley you could use an El- name, like Elvis? Though technically Elizabeth is an El- name so it'd be a bit much to have two El- names. Hmm ): Maybe after a favorite flower, place, etc? <3
Oh dear, I didn't know that. That kinda would be an Elvis overload lol!

Alrighty! Idk why I always forget how to say Avia lol <3

I'm glad if I helped any!

What do you think of Emma Nicole? Considering I'm using my sister Nadine's name, I should probably use my other sisters name too. Haha.

Well my mom loves purple, so Violet is kind of a way of honoring her (and using a name I love). And she likes Roses, so maybe I can think of a Rose name or something. I don't like JUST Rose though. Although Presley Rose is kind of pretty. But I think I've kind of cut Presley out, although I like it. But now everytime I see Presley Diana my brain automatically goes "Princess Diana" which is not a bad association at all, but it just distracts me from the name. Haha. If that makes sense.

Oh, I love how Violet works so well for you! Omg! A pattern! Lily and Violet as sissy's flower names<3 and if you had a Rose- name it'd keep the pattern though i think Violet Elizabeth would be pretty as well... Random thought haha (:

Rose names...
Rosalie
Rosette
Rosamund
Rosalind
Rosalyn
Briar Rose
Rosie
Arosa

Presley Rose is nice. Maybe you could use Presley as a middle name? So its honoring but not upfront? Rosalind Presley? Lol now that you put it in my mind its stuck- im seeing princess Diana as well lol!

I know! But hypothetically, my perfect family would be three girls. So I always think of the fact that if I name the first two Lily & Violet, then have a third should I name her a flowery name too or just pretend there was no theme. :/ Because I for one was left out of the theme (although my sisters are only half sisters) They are Nicole & Nadine. I am Shannon. And it's a little weird. Haha. Anyway, I have plenty of time to worry about what to name my third child, if I even have a third. Haha.

Gosh, how many "Haha"'s are in that sentence? :/

I do like Rosalie, and Briar Rose. But I knew a girl who was friends with my cousin (we went to the same high school) and her name was Rose/Rosie. And she was one of those rude kids who are so socially awkward that they think they're better than you because you don't get 99 in every class kind of people. So I used to just think of her when I heard the name Rose, but it is starting to wear off a bit so maybe I'll try finding a combo I like. Haha.

I will search for a first name for Presley! Haha.

Thank-you so much Remy. Your names are so pretty so it's really cool getting advice from you.

Lily Elizabeth - I think it's fine, honestly. I like Lily, it's very precious and feminine. Elizabeth is very classic.
Violet Niamh - You know how I feel about Violet, I just love it! Niamh is gorgeous too. Makes me think of winter. (:
Emma Marie - Lots of M sounds. I'm not in love with the name Emma, but I really like Marie, even though people think it's a filler middle.
Avia Lucille - I think I would like Ava Lucille better. Avia is very unique and modern, unlike Lily, Violet, and Emma. I love love love Lucille though!
Aubrey Nadine - Aubrey is pretty, I've had it on my list before as well. Nadine is a beautiful middle name!
Presley Diana - I like Presley better as a middle, and Diana fits in more with your other first names...what about Diana Presley?
Grace Aurora - I've been loving the name Grace lately! I don't love Aurora with it (though it's a great name), but it's tough to find a middle for Grace. (:

Lovely names as always, sweetie! <3

Thanks Raven.

About Emma Marie, I am like 99% sure I'm changing it to Emma Nicole. But thank you for being honest with the "M"ness.
And I've cut out Presley Diana I think. Which sucks but I'm not feeling it as much as I used to. But again thank-you about the honesty!
