Our current two faves....

At the moment Em ily and Sop hie are winning the 'race' to be selected as DD2's name. DD1 is Ame lia.

I am completely torn. I love Em ily the best, however it is DH's young cousins name and I wonder if its too similar to Ame lia? I seem to have a thing with names with 'l's, 'm's and 'e's or 'a's.

Anyway, I love the name Sophie too, and it is DH's preference at the moment. My only worry is that it doesn't fit my usual 'theme' with the letters I like.....

If you were to choose one of these names, which do you think would be best?

Also, if you have other suggestions of 'normal' names (DHs criteria) with l and/or m and an e and/or a please let me know.

As much as I love the name Em ily I think its too close to Ame lia and wouldn't think of using both for siblings. So my choice would be Sop hie.

Isla
Martha
Mabel
Matilda
Imogen
Isobel

Emma
Edith
Evelyn
Alice
Alison
Anna
Annie
Anita
Abigal
Audrey

THey are pretty names, but I personally think Em ily and Am elia are a bit too similar together.
Names that came to mind when I was reading:

Allira (a leer ah)
Elenna
Eleanor
Sophia



Goodluck!

Emily and Amelia are quite similar. Personally, I wouldn't, but I wouldn't think it was dreadful that two sisters were called Amelia and Emily. They are both nice names.

I do prefer Sophia to Sophie.

Other normal names with L and M, ending with A or E (some are nicer than others, IMO):

Ellie
Ella
Millie
Cecilia
Michelle (many names end with "elle" if you like that sound)
Eliana
Marlene
Maxine
Amanda
Caroline
Camille
Priscilla
Laura
Maura

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I actually had a number of those suggestions on my 'list' but there are a few new ones to consider too - thanks :)

Oh and we did consider Sophia but DH likes Sop hie best

Love Sop hie.

Emmeline
Emma
Gemma
Eva
Evie
Emme

All quite similar to Emily.
Good luck choosing :)

I think they are a little similar too Chody but Emily is pretty!
My DD is L iana. I think that goes nicely ;) It's not common but I don't think it's too different either.

We are so stuck on girls names, DH and I will never agree!!

Mrs P - I've loved L iana for years, but DH thinks it is too different - his family has every most common name you could think of in it....

Aries - I had many of your suggestions on my list. We had actually short listed Emma too, but that's the name of one of my good friends AND another good friend has a daughter with that name (who's middle name happens to be DD1s name), so I thought it'd be a little weird....

Eliza
Elise
Alyssa

I love them both, but would go with S ophie. E mily is just too close to A melia for me.

Then again, I am the person who inadvertently named their children C harlie and M arley! PMSL

The next two are Carley and Farley right LS? :p

:rofl: Totally!

As much as I love Em ily (my DD's name :)) I think it is probably too close to Am elia. In fact, A was my number one girls choice so I was hestitant to choose E as it would count it out based on my rules. But since DH is deadset against A, we did choose E. Having said that, I think it is different enough that I would still probably consider it lol! Not much help there. I love S ophie too :)

Amelia & Holly (or spelt Hollie)? That's what we are thinking if we have bub#3. We have Amelia & Lachlan.

My DD is L ily, and it's pretty awesome! ;)

I had a lot of your choices on my list for girls. E mily would have been our choice if DS2 had have been a girl. I do think it's too similar to A melia though. Sophie is a gorgeous name (also on our girls names list!)

Other names I had were

Caitlyn
Hannah
Annabelle
Ann Marie
Liliana
Lucy

Thanks for the ideas everyone. I keep adding to my list, but I think I'm winning the 'fight' over the name Matilda. Not that it was really a fight, DH is just starting to like it more :)
