Name help for #2

[babyzebra]

Hello everyone!

I recently found out I am pregnant with my second LO. We are nowhere near the time of finding out the sex, but I want to get the ideas flowing for some names.

For a boy, DH and I are pretty set on either Luke Alexander or Luke Charles.

Girl names are much harder. We bother really like Cora, but DS's name is Cole, so that may be too matchy matchy. What do you all think?

Here is a short list of girl names we like. I would appreciate any input! Thanks!


Cora - see above for problem with DS's name
Evelyn- getting too popular?
Amelia- I love, but DH is meh
Lilah- I like, but DH is meh

Cora- Yep, too matchy.
Evelyn- Yes very popular. I know several little girls 4 and under with this name. I don't like it enough to make up for the popularity.
Amelia- Love, this is DD's name.
Lilah- Not a fan.

Alice
Aurelia
Aurora
Anna
Alexandra
Clara
Charlotte
Catherine
Coraline (but not if you'll call her Cora, because too matchy)
Eloise
Elisabeth
Eleanor
Emilia
Evangeline
Fiona
Flora
Greta
Gwendolen
Gwyneth
Helen
Iris
Ivy
Isabelle
Julia
Juliet
Josephine
June
Lyra (so much better than Lilah, IMO)
Louisa
Livia
Madeleine
Margot
Marigold
Noelle
Penelope
Rosalie
Rose
Rosemary
Scarlett
Simone
Thea
Violet
Willa

Josephine was the first name I thought of.

Love Luke, Cora and Cole.

Greta was the 2nd name I thought of.

[daystardreams]

Lilah is my favorite. I love Cora but too close to Cole.

Thanks everyone for your help!

I really like Cora, but it's too similar. Amelia is my favorite name from your list. It's popular but a great name. Evelyn and Lila are fine.

What about:
Nora
Louisa
Tessa
Audrey
Vivian
Georgia
Daphne
Cecilia
Alice
Clara

[Leapinglizards]

I would go with Evelyn just make sure you like the shortened version too

[midnightsun]

I like Amelia, and I don't mind Cora.

[billyhorrible]

I don't like Cora and Cole - do you like Nora?

[babyzebra]

Thanks again everyone!

I actually do like Nora a lot, but our last name starts with a "N" and it sounds even worse together than Cole and Cora sound.

We need to think about it a little more, but I think we're going to go with either Amelia or Evelyn. I love the various nicknames for Evelyn. Do you all know of any nicknames for Amelia? I think the name is beautiful and doesn't "need" a nickname, but I want to be prepared for any other names she could be called. Thanks!

I do love Luke Alexander!

[ellabb043]

My cousin just named her LO Emelia and they call her Emi for a nickname. It's pretty cute and I like that the name will grow up with her.
I love love Cora but Dh won't get on board with it. I honestly wouldn't worry too much about being matchy with your DS. I think it's okay and she won't be introducing herself with his name as well for life.

Mia, Millie, Lia, Mellie, Amy. Millie is the only one I really like. Before DD was born I swore we would call her by a NN. We ended up just calling her Amelia.
