We have a sweet baby girl, Nora Kate. Now we are hoping to get pregnant again. If we have a boy, we know we will use the name Knox Elliot. We plan to have a large family, and we also like the boy names Jude and Leo. There isn't really a theme, but as you can see, we usually go for short names.

Can you help us find a few girl names that we can fall in love with? Any suggestions will be helpful!

Lena
Anna
Aria
Mary
Joy

Good luck!

[MommaMeg]

I have been thinking about the name Joy Anna. It would be a good fit, since we sometimes use Nora Kate as a double name.

Love love Nora Kate. Very adorable.

Isn't Joy Anna a "Duggar" family name?

Hrm...I think Isla Anne goes nicely with Nora Kate.

Good Luck!

[MeganMoxie]

Regardless of the Duggars I still think Joy Anna is a lovely name though Isla is lovely as well. Good luck!

Some people have an altercation with the way the Duggars are, so I had no clue on that stance.


Isla Anne , I think, goes very well with Nora Kate and they have the same letters within their names.

How is Isla pronounced? It's very cute!

What do you think of Talia or Lux?

[Katie-Nana]

Isla is pron. (EYE la) like Island.

I think Nora & Talia would go nicely together.

What do you think of Talia or Lux?

I've always pronounced it Ease-Luh or Eye's-luh. Sorry, not good at writing out pronunciations!


I like Thalia and I've always loved the name Lux. What about Hazel?

[MeganMoxie]

I like Hazel. I think I like Isla a bit more though. Thalia's nice, but I think I like the prior two a bit more with Nora. I personally don't like Lux very much.

[MommaMeg]

Sorry... Hazel doesn't do it for me, but thanks for suggesting! I like (but don't love) Lux, and I know DH wouldn't go for it. I like Talia better than Thalia just because we used Nora instead of Norah. When I see the name Isla, I want to say ICE-la..... does that sound weird?

My first name has been mispronounced and misspelled my entire life, so I want to use something that is easily pronounced and spelled, but I'm not sure if people would have trouble with Isla or Talia.

Anyway, thanks everyone for all the feedback!

I did the same thing when I first saw the name!


What about Della or Delia?

[MommaMeg]

WDYT of Scout? Yes, we are big To Kill a Mockingbird fans, and I used to teach high shool English. So I'm wondering if Scout would be a little too cliche? Or if it even sounds good with Nora?

[Tora]

I don't think that Scout is too cliche. I think that people would automatically assume that you named her after Scout Finch but is that honestly a bad thing?
I love two part names like Nora Kate or Isla Anne.

Here's a list of some of my favorites

Emma Claire
Eliza Jade
Jade Claire
Ivy Jade (Although this might be too much green)
Zoe Claire
