My husband and I are expecting a second daughter any day now and we currently have a shortlist of name possibilities. Our two-year old is Daphne Elisabeth (last name sounds like Cable with a \u201cKr\u201d). My favorite potential name lately has been Phoebe since I feel like it coordinates so well with Daphne and has the same characteristics we love about Daphne, but I worry that it\u2019s just too similar. Both names are Greek, both end in an \u201cee\u201d sound, both have a \u201cph\u201d, both two syllables. I can\u2019t decide if the matchiness is a good thing or an eye-roll inducing cutesy thing.<\/p>\n
Other first names in the running:<\/p>\n
Juliet
\nCamille
\nAlice
\nBlythe<\/p>\nMiddle name will be another longer, feminine classic like Caroline, Josephine, etc. We\u2019re most likely done with two kids but on the off chance we had a third girl, I also wonder what in the world would go with those two and not sound out of place. So do you think Daphne and Phoebe pair well as sisters? Or do you think another name on our list (or not on our list) would coordinate better?<\/p>\n
Thanks! I\u2019ll send an update once we have her the first half of July!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
