Cut the knot! Little sister for Nora...

17 replies

K
In September my husband and I are going to have a little girl. Our first daughter is Nora. The lady who designs our birth announcement would like to have a definite name because the name makes a big difference for the layout (short name / long name / inscription / shape of the letters).

These are the 'contenders' - in random order. However, we don't have a WOW feeling for any of the names... Which name do you prefer? (Or do you have a good suggestion?)

Olivia
Ella
Odette
Ida
Rosa

Thanks in advance for the help!!

    I don't really like the names, what do you think of Zara or Zora?

    Our daughter's name is Liza.

    I like Ella and Roza!

    Our daughters are named Saar and Roos, although the latter is still due to be born in August Juul (Jules/Jule) and Fien were also contenders for us, and they kind of fit into your list too.

    Hi, it depends on your own preference? A name in the same style? E.g., Jana is the name of our daughter, it would fit well too, if I may say so myself . Olivia is her middle name - I personally found it sounded a bit old-fashioned, but my husband thought it was super pretty, so it became her middle name.

    My niece is named Vive, that's also nice or fine.

    I think Ella is really a super fun, cheerful, and feminine name. Just like Nora, timeless and beautiful :-)

    Olivia: nice, but you hear it more and more. I think Livia is even nicer, also with Nora.
    Ella: also beautiful in combination with Nora
    Odette: chic
    Ida: old-fashioned
    Rosa: sounds very cheerful. Nice with Nora

    Actually, only Rosa appeals to me from your list; the rest aren't really options.
    It's a beautiful and lovely name for a girl, Rosa.
    I'd go with Rosa.

    Our third little girl is named Jasmijn.
    But I also think Roos is really beautiful.

  13. Marlies #14

    Ella or Rosa from your list.
    E.mma, L.ena or J.enna any ideas?
    To avoid confusion, I put a dot in between.

    Nora and Sofia

    I think a name ending in 'a' looks nice with Nora, so think of Bella, Sofia, Lisa, Jada, Sara.
