Swistle! Help!<\/p>\n

I’m due with my second girl in early March 2022. I have an almost 6 year old daughter named Julia Elizabeth. We LOVE her name. We chose it based on the Beatles song of the same name. It, as well as her nickname Joules (spelled that way due to her dad being an electrical engineer), fits her so perfectly. Elizabeth is my middle name.<\/p>\n

We have zero ideas that we both like for baby sister. I like Norah Rosemary and my husband loves Emma. He’s meh on Norah (thinks it sounds too old) and I’m meh on Emma (it’s too common\/plain). We have thrown around Hannah and Margot but neither feel quite right. I’ve told him that if he gets on board with Norah as the first name, he can pick a middle name but he’s still not sold!<\/p>\n

If baby was a boy, we were planning on Ezra Isaac. (Ezra is the name of the lead singer of my favorite band and Isaac is my husband’s middle name.)<\/p>\n

Sibling names “matching” is less important to me than the individual name we give her being one that we love. I like clearly feminine but not fussy or frilly or cutesy names. Automatic nos to anything that can sound like a body part or that turn our last name into a question. (i.e. Gina or Willa)<\/p>\n

I’ve put out requests to friends and family for suggestions and yet still nothing is feeling right. I thought maybe your expert advice could help us!<\/p>\n

Thank you,

 <\/p>\n

Your husband is wrong about Norah, let’s just start there. Would he like it any better spelled Nora? Would he like it better as a nickname for Eleanor?<\/p>\n

I know a baby named Gemma; I wonder if you’d like that better than \/ find it fresher than Emma. Or maybe that’s too similar to Julia, with the matching starting\/ending sounds.<\/p>\n

Would Emmeline be less plain?<\/p>\n

More options:<\/p>\n
