Help naming Chloe's team green sib

[brusselssprout]

I'd love some help with paring down our girl list, and adding to our boy list for a sibling for Chloe. 

• Lucy
  
• Olivia
  
• Eve
  
• Violet
  
• Hazel
  
• Susan
  
• Maeve
  
• Jane
  
• Mia

• Elliot
  
• Colm (DH loves it, I'm not so sure... brought this one up on the Irish names thread)
  
• Clark
  
• Niel
  
• Owen
  
• John (both grandpas are named John, one goes by Jack)
  
  

Bonus points if the name is easily pronounced by French-speakers, since we are living in a French speaking community and baby will go to daycare in French.  Thanks for your input!!

•Lucy- Love, but not with Chloe

•Olivia- Popular, but I like with Chloe

•Eve- mehh... Eva is a little better

•Violet- Love with Chloe

•Hazel- Toss, trendy, naf

•Susan- Toss, dated

•Maeve- Toss, NMS

•Jane- NMS, but okay with Chloe

•Mia- never been a fan of this name, feels juvenile to me. I prefer it as a nickname for something more adult like Amelia.



•Elliot- Love

•Colm- not familiar with this name

•Clark- Toss

•Niel- Toss

•Owen- Love

•John- boring, but if you pair it with the right MN such as something like Luke I am on board

[li]Lucy -I like
[/li][li]Olivia - I'm just so over this name. 4 on my block. 2 in DD's preschool class. It's at Sophia levels of oversaturation.
[/li][li]Eve -I like
[/li][li]Violet-I like
[/li][li]Hazel - like but very trendy
[/li][li]Susan - refreshing
[/li][li]Maeve -ok
[/li][li]Jane - I like a lot
[/li][li]Mia - meh[/li][/ul]

• Elliot - great
  
• Colm (DH loves it, I'm not so sure... brought this one up on the Irish names thread) - interesting. I prefer Malcolm
  
• Clark - fine but not a favorite
  
• Niel - like
  
• Owen - too common but fine. The boy Olivia.
  
• John (both grandpas are named John, one goes by Jack) - I like
  
  

I like Lucy, Violet, or Jane for a girl. I like Elliot or John for a boy.

I'll add:

Adele
Thea
Louise
Hugo
Marcus

I like Maeve and Niel.

For a girl I feel like Mia and Violet "fit" the best. However I like Jane most overall from your list.

I like Owen a lot for you!

Suggesting
Nathan
Ethan
Raymond

Gregory
Bennett

Lucy - Toss

Olivia - Replace with Livia

Eve - Keep and use!!!

Violet - Keep!

Hazel - Toss

Susan - Toss

Maeve - Toss

Jane - Toss

Mia - Toss

There's nothing really wrong with the tosses, they just aren't as good as the keeps.

Boy adds:

Sebastian

Scott

Mark

Arthur

Leo

Adrian

Corin

Erik

Etienne

Raphael

Gilbert

Hector

Laurent

Justin

Louis

Of your girls, I really love Olivia with Chloe, but it is quite popular.

Of your boy choices, Elliot is my fave.

Canadian lurker here, not French myself but having lived around Francophones if you're concerned about the names being easily pronounced by French speakers I would definitely stay away from Hazel (will become more like "ah-zel"). I think the other names would be okay with only slightly different pronunciations (such as Eve being "ehve" vs. "eeve").

[friendofdobby]

I love Eve and Violet on your girl's list. Elliot, Owen and John are my favorites from your boy's list.

[dreadpiratebuttercup]

Girls: Keep Eve, Violet, and Jane.

Boys: Keep Elliot, Neil, and John. Add Graham, Louis, Sebastian.

Thanks ladies, this is a big help!!

p.s. dreadpiratebuttercup, Graham is the first name of our OBGYN - it would have been in our list, but I don't know, it feels a bit odd to have someone deliver your baby and then say, oh yeah we named him Graham, but don't worry, not after you...maybe it's a strange reason, enough to keep it off the list?

brusselssprout - FWIW, our DD has the same first name as our OBGYN. It was a family name for us. The OB commented that it was the same first name as hers, but I think she thought it was cool, not weird.

[dreadpiratebuttercup]

brusselssprout I can see why it would bother you, but it wouldn't stop me from using a name I loved.

Like Violet and Hazel from your list, suggesting June

Love Elliot, would add Vincent
