Hey, we're just trying to think of old-fashioned names, that have a modern twist..... Although, i love names grace and rose as middle names, so does everyone else, and i'd like to step away from this trend.... Im trying to think of names that does not give away what year a child is born:

So far we have the name Clara Elise, which has generated really good responses on here.

Other first name we like are:

Esme

Ava (Although i think this would give away when the child was born. I dont want my child to be in a little cluster of other little Ava's at school, thats all)

Sophia

Coralie (coral-ee) nn cora

Lilianna

Ivy

    Liliana Coralie

    Esme Ava

    Esme Claire

    Coralie Anna

    Ivy Maria

    ~Julie

  3. I like Madison for a middle name or Lynn..

  4. Esme - no

    Ava - yes but becoming popular

    Sophia - no

    Coralie (coral-ee) - yes

    Lilianna - its ok

    Ivy - no

    How about the name Audrey. Its old fashioned.

  5. Congrads! I love Clara Elise.

    Esme Juliette

    Ava Rose- I know you don't like this because it's so popular, but I love this name

    Sophia Elaine

    Coralie Victoria

    Lilianna Danielle

    Ivy Sienna

    Hope this helps :)

  6. I really like Clara Elise, that is beautiful! I also like Ivy Madeleine but I like Clara Elise better. Good luck! : )

  7. Clara Elise is gorgeous. Out of the others I like Sophia the best.  

  8. Clara Elise is fine!

  9. I am glad you are stepping away from Grace and Rose. I hate those names. I love the name Clara Elise. I actually thought of Coralie and Clara but the other half is not on my side. I have always loved Liliana. The combination I like for Ivy is Ivy Madison.

  10. Ivy Madeleine

    sounds pretty

    I also love

    Lilianna

    How about

    Lily-Anna as two names or hyphenated

    Other oldish names I like

    Pamela Sophia

    Coleen Louise

    Beatrice May

    Sheila Patricia

    Patricia Jayne

    xx

  11. I love Clara, Coralie, Ivy and Madeline! I do think Ivy is a little bit harsh as a first name but it could work as a middle name!

    Here are my suggestions as middle names:

    Aimée, Eva, Milena, Frances, Daphnée

    -Clara Aimée (so adorable!)

    -Coralie Eva

    -Clara Ivy

    -Coralie Milena

    -Clara Madeline

    -Coralie Daphnée

    -Clara Frances

    Lilianna is cute but I like Lily (or Lili if you're into French) better.

    Congrats!


  12. I'd say no to Esme. Sophia is also getting increasingly popular.

    Ava is cute - idk how popular that's getting though.

    Coralie - Cora - Reminds me of an ocean idk if I like it or not, I'm on the fence with that one.

    Lilianna is cute.

    Ivy isn't

           I do like Clara Elise for what you're trying to do with the old-name-new-twist thing.

    You should look up your grandparents middle names and see if you can work those in at all. Years ago I thought of cute & unused names and now they're the most popular (it's so sad).

    My grandmother's name is Lola if that has any use (but it's also getting increasingly popular).

  13. well i like AVA the best, but ur right she would be a little cluster...so i would chose sophia, clara elise is OK, definetely NOT esme or ivy!!!!! Not Coralie it just sounds like a baby's version of saying coral. Lilianna ok.

  14. i like Ava a lot, although agree with you

    and Sophia too. its very pretty

    Clara Elise is very nice

    what about Nora Sophia, or Nora Ivy

  15. i like Clara Elise, and I like Sophia, too.  Have you thought about using a mom's middle name?

  16. Ok so it sounds like you might be hispanic. At any rate I love any name that has anna at the end. I was going to name my girl Ilianna Lynn. Now I have chosen Aubrianna Lynn. But I might put Aubrianna Elaina Lynn, I know long name but Elaina is my husbands mom's name and Lynn will be carried on from my name from which I got from my mother.

  17. Clara Elise is beautiful.  I also really like Ivy.  Ivy Grace would be nice also.

  18. i love Clara Elise!!! its perfect!!

    Esme is ok not a favorite its too close to emma or emily.

    ava is too popular.

    Sophia Rosalie or Sophia Madeline are nice i think!

    Coralee or Coraleigh are both nice but why not just name her Cora?

    Cora Beth flows very well i think!

    Lilianna no cause lily is so very common and she will be called Lily!

    Ivy is pretty!

    Ivy Renee is cute i think!! good luck!

  19. I like Ivy.  I had Ava Katherin as a name on my list 3 years ago if I had a girl BUT ended up with boy.  Needless to say that name is everywhere now.  I go for Ivy or Lilianna also like Ari short for Aricela

  20. i like Ava. and i don't think that that is a very common name. i don't know any Ava's . i love Ava rose and Ava grace.

    i also like lilianna grace. a lot!

    Clara Elise and Sophia are both okay!??!?

    but i don't like the others.

    well good luck choosing.


  21. I like the Elise and Ivy,  

  22. whats the first name is going to be .... maybe we can start from there
