Help! Sister or brother for Sally
Find a Conversation
| Mon, 04-23-2007 - 7:49am |
This is my first post, so hello everyone! *waves*
We're at a loss trying to come up with names that we really like. I'd be truly grateful for any suggestions that you can give me; soon-to-be big sister's name is Sally, and we want a name with a similar style. I usually don't like nicknames as given names (Sally being the obvious exception), so nothing like Annie or Billy or anything like that. Names that are less than popular and far from trendy are preferable. Gender is to remain unknown, so suggestions for both girl's and boy's names are needed. Names that end with an "ee" sound are pretty much out, as I think they sound a little too matchy.
Suggestions that I like so far:
Amelia
Georgia
Daphne (ends with "ee," so maybe not)
Jane
Edward
Arthur
Dennis
Oliver
George
Thank you for the much needed help!

Thanks for the suggestions!
Arthur- I saw this on another person's post and it's kind of growing on me!
Charles nn Chaz- The nickname (nn is nickname, right?) Chaz is totally not my style, but I do sort of like Charlie.
Louise- I like it well enough, but I don't want to name my kid after myself.
Daphne- This is really cute!
Eloise- A little bit too close to Louise
Lilith- Isn't Lily getting pretty popular? I don't know the statistics, but that's my general impression.
Annemarie- I'm not sure how I feel about combination names.
These really aren't my style (thanks anyway though!):
Quentin- Tarantino!
Rhett- I can't look at this without thinking of Rhett Butler
Rafe- it sounds like a slang name for an illegal drug to me (sorry!)
Wade- I don't care for verb names
Tobias nn Toby
Keaton
Thaddeus
Kimberly
Mia
Annabel- cute, but it seems (to me at least) like it's become kind of trendy.
Thanks again for the suggestions! Arthur and Daphne are definitely going on my list!

Sally is a sweet name!
Sally has an old fashioned, yet spunky feel to me. Here are some names that give me that same feel...
Girls:
Mary
Elsa
Ellen
Bonnie
Ruby
Beverly

I really like the Sally and Jane sibset! Too cute! Sally and Ruby is sweet too.
Boys:
Edward
Henry
Dennis
Peter
Martin
My suggesrtions for a girl:
Milla
Minna
Lilli
Hilla (hil-luh)
Stella
for a boy:
Mikko (mick-ko)
Sivert
Staffan
Thanks! I really appreciate this!
Caroline- nice
Hadley- sounds like a trendy name to me
Ainsley- see Hadley
Abigail- nice, but seems like it's getting pretty popular
Amelia- Very pretty! Right up my alley!
Adeline- so-so
Eloise- too close to Louise (my name)
Zoe- I have a friend whose daughter is Zoe (and it's always sounded a little too "precious" to me anyway, if you know what I mean)
Heidi- Nice! Sally ends with the "ee" sound as well though, so I think that might sound a little too matchy-matchy.
Tessa- Very sweet, but I don't really want another nickname name.
Phoebe- I don't care for this really
Elliott- I have a soft spot for this name, but people are starting to use it for girls.
Griffin- will always be a mythological beast to me
Henry- there are an awful lot of Henrys 'round here...
Mark- I like its simplicity and familiarity, but it sounds kind of like a "surfer dude" to me for some reason. Anyone else have that association, or am I just weird?
These sound a bit too "trendy" to me:
Garrett
Tucker
Trevor
Harrison
Jonah
Grady
Grayson
Graham
Kelby
Nolan
Asher
Thanks for the suggestions! I really like Amelia!
Sally and ....
Henry and Margaret were my first thoughts. If you like NNs, Sally and Meg is very nice together.
Other ideas:

Jonathan
Lucas
Nolan
Martin
Roland
Brent
Mitchell
Steven
Andrew
Jillian
Rebecca
Hazel
Tabitha
Bethany
Amelia
Cora
Pamela
Laurel
Thanks! That's exactly the kind of feel we were going for!
Mary- You hardly ever here this name anymore! It does end with the "ee" sound though, so I'm not sure I like it with Sally.
Elsa- nice, but is this a nickname for Elizabeth?
Ellen- simple and sweet, I like it
Bonnie- also has the ends with "ee" problem, but I like the name
Ruby- see Bonnie
Beverly- I think of Beverly Crusher, but I'm sure most people don't have that association.
Jane- It's a lovely name, but I think it might be a little bit too plain. It might grow on me though.
Boys:
Edward- I like this! I wouldn't want him to be nicknamed Ed or Ward, but I like both Ned and Ted.
Henry- getting really common in my area
Dennis- the Menace! I like the name though.
Peter- nice
Martin- nice
