Cute sister names?
| Fri, 10-22-2004 - 12:12pm |
I just found out that my daughter has a sister on the way. YAY. My two year old is Reagan Ruthie. Is Ellie Lorraine a cute name for her sister? It may be soon to decide her name already, but we had Reagan's name picked out this early as well.
The middle names are signifcant because they are family names that we admire. So I would like Lorraine to be her middle name no matter what. Any input is appreciated!
Thanks,
VeeAnn


I think Ellie is too traditional for Reagan - also I don't see Ellie as a formal name. If you like Ellie - how about Elise as the formal name. I think Elise (can also be spelled Elyse) matches up well in terms of style with Reagan more than Ellie by itself.
good luck
Yes I think that is very cute for sisters!!!
Normally I don't go for Ellie as FN and would prefer something like Ellen, Elle, or Eleanor, with NN Ellie. But since Reagan Ruthie is such a spunky modern-mixed-with-old-fashioned combo, I think that Ellie Lorraine would be a much better "fit"!
Cute!
personally I don't like the way Ellie Loraine runs together..
maybe use a name that has Ellie as a nn...
plus sine you have an RR why not a LL... or use Elizabeth/Elisabeth Loraine...you could use either Ellie as the nn or if you wanted to go LL..Liza Loraine, Lizzie Loraine, Liz Loraine, Lilly Loraine...
BOth names are cute, I just don't think they fit well together style wise. Reagan fall into the last name/gender neutral stlye while Ellie is very girlie-girl name. Names that I think fit with Reagan:
Emerson
sydney
Avery
Delaney
Addison
Cameron
Reese
Ainsley
Ashton
My fav is Emerson Lorriane & with E.L. as her intials us can always call er Ellie if you wanted. HTH

I like the name Ellie, but I think it's really popular right now. That doesn't bother some people, but I like unique names myself. Still, I think Ellie is cute and can grow well with her as she gets older. We had considered Ella for our first baby a few years ago....I have relatives who named their daughter Ellison but call her Ellie, and I like that.

I think Ellie Lorraine is very cute, my best friend named her dd Lorraine Nola, after two family members. Anyway, I think it will work with Reagan, but probably a longer first name would work even better, something like Eleanor, Ellen, or Elizabeth, still using Ellie as the nn. But, if you just like Ellie, it's fine too. Good luck!
