I need more choices

I'm becoming obsessed with names I think. :) I'm looking for a beautiful girl's name. Our first name choices (so far..) are:

Elora
Violet
Sophie
Clara

...I've also been considering Scarlett and Zinnia (maybe). Dh also likes Abigail, but I don't like it that much.

MN options so far are Noelle, Brielle, and Claire.

I need help combining first and middle names and would like suggestions of other names also.

Sibling is Skye Ashlei.

Help please! :)

I think that Elora, Sophie, and Violet go well with all of the middle names you have selected. I think Violet is such a beautiful name.

You're in the right place if you're obsessed with names!


Elora- Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous--- The best match on the list with Skye
Violet- Pretty, too, but growing.
Sophie- Pretty name, too popular for my taste. I'm not big on matching fn initials either. Sorry.
Clara- Good choice


...I've also been considering Scarlett and Zinnia (maybe). Dh also likes Abigail, but I don't like it that much.


Scarlett is fantastic. I don't think it's the best choice with Skye. Other names would sound more distinguished together.


Zinnia is refreshingly interesting.


What about Abigail for the mn since dh likes it. I'm all about the dh's having that instant connection and meaningful input! It would also give both girls an A- mn, which is a neat, subtle way to link their names.


Combinations-


Elora Claire/ Elora Abigail- The other two don't work, IMO, because of the use of -el sound twice


Violet Abigail/ Violet Noelle


Clara Noelle, Clara Abigail


*Clare* is my mn. When I was named it, no one used it. Now, it's the fastest growing filler mn out there. I'd go

My favorites for you would be Zinnia, Elora and Clara, in that order. I'd avoid another S name (nixing Sophie and Scarlett ... although I love Scarlett!), and I also don't like Skye and Violet as sisters. The similar beginning sounds make me hear Skye and VI-olet (the "VI" sound being very pronounced). It just takes something away from it for me, and it's getting more common anyway.

Zinnia is definitely my favorite for you, being another nature name with a "strong," yet feminine sound, if you KWIM.

All of the mns you listed are becoming fillers, so you might want to keep looking if that will bother you.

Some alternatives to your list, since you asked for other suggestions:

Zinnia -- Zora (the four-letter spelling and meaning of "dawn" makes this another great match with Skye), Zaira, Azalea, Anthea, Calanthe, Dahlia, Ianthe

Elora -- Liora, Aurora (I actually like this with Skye ), Devora, Cora, Lenora/Leanora, Medora, Thora

Clara -- Clarice, Clarissa, Laurice, Dara, Chloris, Clea/Cleo, Celia, Cecily, Cecilia, Clemence, Cliona, Clodagh

Sophie -- Ophelia, Opal

Violet -- Viola (I'd use the vee-o-la pronunciation with big sister Skye)

Scarlett would also make a great mn with nearly any of these fns! It gets my vote. ;)

I got to thinking that my list that tends to be classics might not be a good fit for you after all.
