We're not going to find out the sex of our second baby and I'm looking for baby girl names that flow nicely with our last name Clay. I'm very picky and don't want anything from the top 50 list. I like vintage, "old fashion" names as well as biblical names. I don't like crazy, unique spellings, names ending in -lyn, or trendy names. I'm finding it hard to pair girl names with Clay without it sounding weird or clunky. Any ideas are welcome

 

Some of the names that I like are Noelle Alexandria, Vivienne, and Cora. Any middle name ideas for Vivienne and Cora are welcome as well.

Noelle Alexandria- I've never liked Noelle for some reason but its not bad and it sounds nice with Clay. I think Noelle Alexandra Clay sounds better than Noelle Alexandria Clay but they both work.

 

Vivienne- This name has grown on me since I know someone with the name (she spells it Vivian). It seems to be more and more popular at least where I'm from but it's classic so you really can't go wrong with it. Vivianne Clay sounds good together. 

 

Cora- I love this name!! Not sure about it paired with Clay though. I think I would go with a longer middle name to balance it out. 

 

Some other name suggestions/possible middle names: Caroline, Madeline, Elizabeth, Meredith, Amelia, Beatrice, Eleanor, Claire, Clara, Louise, Audrey... Some of these might be too popular for you but they're just ones of the top of my head.

Here are some suggestions:

 

Eva Clay

Juliet Clay

Louisa Clay

Rosalie Clay

Serena Clay

Eloise Clay

Lucia Clay

Irina Clay

Felicity Clay

Mabel Clay

Annabelle Clay

Gemma Clay

Fiona Clay

Susannah Clay

Ada Clay

Elena Clay

Sabrina Clay

Thalia Clay

 

Noelle is gorgeous, I love it <3 So pretty and underused. Noelle Alexandria sounds great as a combo too. 

 

Vivienne is a classic and you certainly can't go wrong with it. 

 

Vivienne Elizabeth Clay

Vivienne Violet Clay

Vivienne Faith Clay

Vivienne Rose Clay

Vivienne Michelle Clay

Vivienne Charlotte Clay

Vivienne Elise Clay

Vivienne Audrey Clay

 

Cora is nice but I'm not sure if it goes well with Clay because they're both short and start with the same letter. Maybe Coralie or Coralia?

The first I thought of was Edith. Charming, vintage, and uncommon.

Edith Vivienne Clay is stunning!

Agnes, Ingrid, and Helena are also quite nice

[Bunko0]

Vivienne Clay has a nice flow. Here are some mn ideas:

Vivienne Agnes Clay

Vivienne Alice Clay

Vivienne Sarah Clay

Vivienne Zoé Clay

Vivienne Stella Clay

 

I like the ideas of Susanna, Fiona, Sabrina, Eloise, and Annabel(le). Here are some others, as well as mns for those mentioned:

Stephanie Judith Clay

Lucinda Hermione Clay

Victoria Susan Clay

Beatrice Hannah Clay

Ramona Beatrice Clay

Genevieve Hannah Clay

Penelope Sarah Clay

Lavinia Sharon Clay

Elizabeth Hannah Clay

Diana Rosette Clay

I like the names you've chosen.  I will suggest Tabitha Clay.  It has the benefit of being slightly unique but recognizable.  It is also a Biblical name from the New Testament.

 

Since you like Alexandria (as do I) then I will suggest Anastasia Clay.  If you need a nickname then Stacia (pronounced stay-sha) is pretty.

 

Anastasia Noelle Clay is stunning in my opinion.

Vivienne Clay sounds great! We just gave our baby girl the elegant moniker Vivienne and she fits it so well. Such a lovely name!   

[Shesabutterfly]

I love Edith Vivienne, and Eloise is a lovely name. Sadly though my husband does not like either name.

Tabitha is very cute, but I fear it's too close to our son's name Tobias?

[neverland]

Tabby and Toby are much too close.  Tabitha and Tobias are not so it depends on what kind of nicknames you are choosing.

 

Does your husband like Elyse/Elise?  How about Ivy? Ivy Vivienne?

[babynamegoddess]

Might I suggest the names Anna or Sarah? They are both beautiful, classic names and will flow nicely with almost any middle name.
Anna Marie
Sarah Lillian
Anna Sophia
Sarah Rose
Anna Alexandria
Sarah Vivienne
Anna Eloise
Sarah Josephine
