Girl's names - Is THE ONE on it.

[gblondie]

First off, sorry for the very long post.

My daughter is Geneva Simone Dunbar (last name) geneva was our top pick, Simone for its french heritage
and dunbar is my grandfathers last name. Our next daughter will also have four names. 2nd name does not have to be french, and the family name in the 3rd position will be chosen later.

Geneva is quite a girly name, one question I have is can a second daughter have a unisex name like sloan or does that separate the 2 girls too much?


Top picks, at the moment:
Cordelia (love all the nick name possibilities)
Corliss (growing on me, but do other people like it?)
Sloan (DH loves as well)
Indira (Indira and Geneva sound to close to India and Geneva? (city names))
Aria (will Stupid people call her area?) + it's growing in popularity
Karis (hmmm, not sure, but something draws me to it)


Others:
Cassandra (popular, a bit common)
Gianna (Gianna and Geneva...not sure I like it)
Arden (more of a middle name?)
Zara
Lilah
Marlowe (liking more and more)
Maren (always loved, don't know if it's special enough)
Seraphine/a (is this wearable? or a cross to bear)
Sapphira (quilty pleasure)
Ilara
Zahara


Worried at the pupularity of these, or similar names (Belle/a names are huge right now!)
Brielle
Arabella
Mirabelle



Middle name only possibilities:
Arwen
Wren
Blythe
Blair
Larkin
Zuleika
Cyan
Brynn
Makiya
Mara
Zephyrine (don't know if I'm brave enough for this)
Verity
Rowan
Vaughn
Margaux

Geneva is a lovely name with an exotic vibe to it so I would choose something as feminine and unique.

Cordelia Wren (top pick)
Seraphine/Seraphina Blythe
Sapphira Brynn

I absolutely love love love Geneva, which is also French!

I really like Aria and Ilara of the name you listed, so pretty!

As for middle names Verity is one of my absolute favorites!!

I love your name taste!

I love the name Zara and I think Zara Cordelia would be an amazing name; it's spunky but very feminine and graceful and it sounds great with the beautiful Geneva. (As a side note, my best friend is and adult Zara and absolutely loves her name, so I can't recommend it enough!)

I think Cordelia goes the best with Geneva so Cordelia Blythe gets my vote!
I also like:
Seraphine/a Blair
Arabella Brynn
Sapphira Wren

Marlowe and Arden are favorites of mine and they go fine with Geneva as long as you pair them with a girly mn like Simone
I like Karis too but only spelled Carys.

I love Cordelia Wren. I think Cordelia also goes best with Geneva. Cordelia Blythe and Cordelia Blair are pretty combinations too.

Of your names, Cordelia DEFINITELY goes best with Geneva. Of your other favorite names, Indira and Aria also seem to work alright.
Of other names, I think you could use Lilah, Seraphine, or Seraphina. I like these combos:
Cordelia Wren
Cordelia Larkin
Cordelia Margaux
Cordelia Brynn
Indira Larkin
Indira Verity
Indira Margaux
Aria Zephyrine
Aria Verity
Aria Margaux
Lilah Margaux
Lilah Arwen
Lilah Brynn
Lilah Zephyrine
Lilah Verity
Lilah Rowan
Seraphine Mara
Seraphine Rowan
Seraphina Lark
Seraphina Wren

Cordelia definitely stands out as the first name choice that goes with Geneva. I can't really choose from your list a middle name that I like. I know it is not on there, but what about Cordelia Amelie since that would also give her a French name. I think that would be stunning. Actually, if I could have convinced my husband, I would have chosen Cordelia. It is so pretty. Yes, to answer your question. I think going with a unisex name at this point would be a mistake. Having the same style names for your girls seems to work best.

Def Cordelia! I like Cordelia Wren or Cordelia Blythe. I don't like Sloan much, but esp not with Geneva. Corliss makes me think of a bball player from here that went pro--it was his fn, so that's a no go for me. I don't care for Indira personally. Aria and Karis are nice, they would be tied for my second choice, but they're not nearly as special as Cordelia. I had never thought of Aria being prnd area, but I'm sure that's possible. I've also seen Karis spelled Carys, which I think I prefer.

I like Corliss, always have. Glad to know I'm not the only one!

Geneva and Corliss sound Great!

Corliss Blair
Corliss Verity! Love Verity too!
Corliss Phoebe

Congrats and good luck!
