Full Version: What do you think of these names?

We've decided on three girls names we like, plus two for middle names for our DD2, due in August.
Which combinations do you like best?

First names:
Annabelle
Harper
Talia

Middle names:
Ruby
Lily

Our first DD is Jasmine Chloe. DH's favourite first name is Harper, which is my least favourite of the three but something I could still live with.
Any other suggestions? We don't like top ten names, but then we don't like names that are too 'out there' or unique either. I prefer pretty, feminine sounding names.

Thanks!

I like-

Annabelle Ruby

Harper (not sure either middle name goes with it) what about Mae?



Or

Poppy
Daisy
Marley


Not a fan of Talia.
Ianthe
Annabelle Ruby is a lovely combination.

Annabelle Lily would be my choice

Talia is ok but I don't like Harper at all, sorry
la di dah
Talia Lily is my pick. I'm a little over Annabelle and Isabelle at the moment.

Agree with this suggestion.

I like the name Harper (great association with Harper Lee), but it's a unisex name (and even more common as a surname), so it's not what I would characterize as super feminine. Annabelle and Talia are both very lovely, very feminine names.

Good luck with your pick!

Not very keen on them sorry.

Suggestions that popped into my head for you...

Riley
Layla
Tia
Hailey

PS Harper always makes me think of one 'harping on'. I'm not sure why it's becoming so popular!
Bel Rowley
Annabelle Ruby, although Annabel would be better.

How about Natalia instead of Talia?
mummy4eva
Yeah I like the Tahlia Harper suggestion.

Annabelle Lily. I like the double /l/ consonant sound in the middle - it ties the names together nicely.

Harper is a faddish name, that is spiking in popularity. It will, I think, date dreadfully.

Talia is a bit boring - neither a classic name like Annabelle, nor a particularly original and funky name, which I suppose it could be argued Harper is.

Annabel is the name I would choose as a first name, but don't like any of the middle name suggestions.

dimensionk
Leila (LYE lah) is another suggestion. wink.gif

Love Annabelle Ruby. original.gif

I love Annabel (well I would - my eldest daughter is Annabel!!!) - but only spelt like this. I'm a little allergic to the Annabelle spelling - a bit too "frilly" for my liking, and from what I understand Annabel is the traditional spelling (from the Latin Amabel).

Annabel Lily is lovely.

I agree with others that Harper is a bit too "now" and will date.

Talia is OK, but I much prefer the suggestion Natalia.
~damons-mum~
With your DD name I think Annabel (I would only use the spelling Annabel) or Natalia really suit.

Jasmine Chloe & Annabel Ruby

OR

Jasmine Chloe & Natalia Ruby

HTH

Annabelle Ruby is gorgeous but I love Annabelle Lily too. Definitely stick with this spelling of Annabelle, it's so much more complete.
leo74
