Hi There! I've posted and lurked on this board for 5 months... Now I need your help! We have a 2 year old named NATALIE and would like your advice on a very pretty girl name that goes well with a sister Natalie...

For now we really like:

Emily
Ashlynn
Ashley

Can you give me your thoughts on those names? Which is your favorite? And do you have any suggestions?

Thank you very very much!

I like them all.


I would go for Ashlynn or Ashley because Emily is very popular right now.

The only one I like is Emily, but it is ridiculously popular. I'm not a big fan of Ashley, and I really dislike Ashlynn. Other names that would "go" with Natalie....

Meredith
Olivia
Elizabeth
Charlotte
Bethany
Christine
Ella
Mariana

Hi there, Brandie. Natalie is such a cutie! Here are my thoughts on the names for your new little girl:

Emily-Emily is always a safe & nice name. I really like Natalie & Emily for sisters. They both have a playful & feminine feeling, but are still strong. Emily is very common though, so beware if that bothers you.

Ashlynn-This is nms. It just seems trendy & made-up, sorry.

Ashley-This is nms either. I can only think of the man named this in Gone with the Wind. It seems very 80s anyway.

Emily is quite obviously my favourite. Here are a few suggestions that you may like: (I'll star the ones that seem to fit best w/Natalie;)

Anna

Amelia

Alexandra*

Alissa/Alyssa*

Alison*

Bridget

Caroline

Haley

Holly*

Hannah

Isabel

Julia

Jamie

Keeley

Karina

Lydia

Laurel

Madeline

Olivia

Phoebe

Sophie

Tessa*

Whitney*

Zoe

Do you see any that you like? Hope this helps!

I think any of the three match up fine with Natalie. Emily is probably the closest in style, but beware of its popularity. been in the top 10 for about six years (#1 spot for several of those years). Ashley went through a popularity craze in the 90s and has now faded. it almost makes it seem like an afterthought name now. Ashlynn is OK, not overly crazy for it.

here are some names I think would match up with Natalie: Aubrey, Carina, Delaney, Erica, Hilary, Heidi, Jocelyn, Jillian, Johanna, Kelsey, Marissa, Mallory, Mackenzie, Naomi, Rhiannon, Sabrina, Sierra, Sienna, Samara, Tiffany, Whitney.

good luck

Emily is overused - it is a beautiful name, but she will have lots of other Emily friends! I think Natalie and Ashlynn sound pretty together ... Ashley reminds me of the 1980's. Good luck!

No more Emily's please!!! :) I LOVE Ashlyn (I like this spelling a little more)!!! I don't know why more people don't like it. It's a lovely choice! :)

Natalie and Aubrey
Natalie and Lindsay
Natalie and Carly
Natalie and Shelby
