Sister name for Marlena

[grace1029]

Hi All
I'm trying to come up with baby girl names, my DD is Marlena and we love the name, its Strong and pretty and unique without being odd or out there, we dont think anyway.

So im trying to find a girls name to match.........

we have
Isabelle (too common?)
Gabrielle (too common?)
Violet (too common?)
Victoria (too common?)
Morgan (too common?)
Madisson (is it too close to Marlena)
Emmeline
Olivie' (uh-liv-ee-ay)

do you like one of these best? any other ideas for one that is equal is ooompth to marlena? Also, my DH says no to everything! haha

I really like Isabelle its not common at all in my
part of the uk!

 

[fernie3]

I love all of those names and I dont think any of them are common at all!
I have 5 children in nursery/school and so 5 classes and there isnt a single one of any of those names in any class - and I cant think of any I know from anywhere else either!.

I think my favourite of them all would be Victoria, when we were making names lists for our last baby one of the possibles was Victoria Charlotte.

 

[grace1029]

thanks ladies!!!!

hmmm so Isabelle or Victoria? i like both!

Isabelle Claire
Victoria Charlotte

 

[Fallacy]

I'm a huge fan of Violet - DH has always hated it though!

So I like that and Isabelle. Either is adorable. Isabelle Claire is very cute!

Any ideas for a middle name for Violet? Would Claire work?

Do you think Violet and Marlena sound equal?
Or Isabelle & Marlena better for siblings?

Issabelle and Marlena sound great together ....

Marlena and....

From your list I like: Isabelle, Gabrielle, & Violet best (although I prefer Isabella & Gabriella)

I personally don't think Morgan, Madison, Emmaline, or Olivie' have the same "wow factor" next to Marlena

Victoria also goes lovely with Marlena!

Addt'l suggestions:

Vienna
Eliana
Giovanna
Arianna
Francesca
Ariella
Aria
Savannah
Seraphina
Cecilia
Camilla
Alexia
Aubrielle
Arabella
Alessandra
Aurora
Natalia

We used the Spanish version of Violet....Violeta, as DH is Spanish and it's a good variation of the increasingly popular English name.

WOW! thanks for all the suggestions ladies! i really appreciate them! i do agree with this statement:
I personally don't think Morgan, Madison, Emmaline, or Olivie' have the same "wow factor" next to Marlena.

im trying to say the names together to as if i were introducing someone to them:

this is marlena and this is Elaina........... now i DO love Elaina but i think they sound too similar - like Elaina is just missing the M

Also, can't do A NAMES. DH and I are both A so he think M will feel left out if the three of us are A and she's not. lol

I think this is marlena and this is Isabelle is great. also
this is marlena and this is victoria
this is marlena and this is violet

now does violet have equal wow factor to marlena?

i feel isabelle and victoria do but im unsure on violet?

thanks for talking this through with me guys!!!

Isabelle Claire
Violet Claire
Gabrielle Charlotte or Gabrielle Claire
hmmmmmmm

Just to be awkward.......

Violet Gabrielle

I think that is a WOW factor name. (Marlena is awesom btw!)

 

[MUMOF5]

I think a french sounding name would sound great against Marlena, ie: Camille/Camilla, Celine, Estelle/Estella.

You have done lovely names on your list though

 

[RubyRainbows]

Just to be awkward.......

Violet Gabrielle

Ooohh! Nice! I vote for this! I think Violet Gabrielle goes lovely with Marlena!

 

[RubyRainbows]

I also like Gabrielle Violet!

 

[grace10209]

Hmmmmm! Very interesting with the Violet Gabrielle!!!!

Does Violet have enough "wow" to be a sibling for Marlena?

Gabrielle Violet is good too.

You guys are great!!

Any other ideas???

 

[RubyRainbows]

Yes, I think the names are evenly matched on "wow factor"...

Marlena & Violet
Marlena & Gabrielle

 

[grace1029]

Also, what do you guys think of Emeline?

or Emaline? Emmaline? Emmeline?

You get the point though, regardless of spelling. call her emmy or emma for short.

is it strong enough to be set with marlena? I really appreciate all your help, this is hard. LOL

oh and sorry for my name confusion, I am BOTH grace10209 and grace1029.

for some reason the site wont let me enter grace10209 anymore on my laptop, it says the screen name is too long>

so I had to create a new account, what a pain!!!

Also, did I mention Charlise is on my list. Any thoughts on that?
Charlise Claire, does that go? I like the option to call her cc or Charlie if I wanted.

Ohhhh, I just found Charisse!!! That's NICE!!! hmmmm.

Charisse, I have never heard that one before. Charisse Claire? im not set on Claire but I do like the option to call her CC
