Help with this sibset?...Naming baby sister

[westatd]

Current children are Jack and Eva (nn Evie). We are having another girl and are still so stuck on a name for her. We lean to more classic names that hopefully have a nickname option. I just discovered this board, so I wanted to see if anyone here has any ideas. Two we are considering are Juliet and Noelle, thoughts? This baby has been the hardest to name (ESP. Since my husband hates my first choice, Grace/Gracie.).

Thank you!!

I love Jack and Eva. Juliet would share the same initial as Jack and Noelle just doesn't make the grade as a first name (maybe as a mn choice). Without knowing your surname, here are some suggestions.

Charlotte nn Charlie or Lottie
Mary nn Molly, Polly, Mamie, May etc...
Bridget nn Bridie or Birdie
Caroline nn Caro, Carrie or Rollo
Catherine/Katherine nn Kate or Katie
Tessa nn Tess
Clara nn Claire
Phoebe nn Bea
Lillian nn Lily
Rosalie nn Rosie
Isabel nn Izzy or Belle
Alice nn Allie
Louisa/Louise nn Lulu
Georgia nn Georgie
Beatrix nn Bee or Trixie
Felicity nn Fliss or Flick
Abigail nn Abbey
Amelia nn Lia or Amy
Harriet nn Hattie
Violet nn Lettie
Madeleine nn Maddie
Lucy nn Lou
Matilda nn Tilly or Mattie

Thanks, some good suggestions! I particularly like Charlotte.

Anyone else? I welcome everyone's suggestions! Thank you!

I love Juliet AND Noelle. A lot of great options were already suggested, but here are a few more:
Marguerite nn Rita
Vivienne nn Viv, Vivi
Annabelle nn Annie, Belle
Anna nn Annie
Beatrice nn Bea
Elisabeth nn Elle, Betsy, Beth, Bette, Elise
Marianne nn Mary
Rosalie nn Rosie
Adelaide nn Addie
Penelope nn Penny
Sarah nn Sadie
Virginia nn Ginnie

Thank you, spunkidoodle! So many suggestions I love, Annie is even my name so I won't use it. I'd love to use Anne as a middle name!

Keep the suggestions coming, viewers! Thanks!!

i love Grace! such a shame about hubby! - maybe as a mn?

Calla, Pearl, Ruby, Iris, Mabel, Jade, Kate, Willa, Phillippa, Caroline, Catherine, Alexandra, Theodora, Georgiana

nn Libby for spunkidoodle's suggestion of Elizabeth is precious too.

I love lots of those suggested names, as well as your choices!

Olive nn Liv
nn Nel for spundiedoodle's Penelope
Flora
Daphne nn Dede

Thanks, all! Oh, how I love Elizabeth...but that is my daughter Eva's middle name (as well as my sil's name). If I ever knew I'd have 2 daughters, that probably would have been an awesome choice for a first name! (It is also my mn, and my late mom's mn.) Right now I think we are leaning toward Noelle/Ellie. Yes, naming a child with my husband is tough!! He has very bad taste. . I'll keep checking back because we certainly haven't closed the book...

Jack and Eva are both short, and on the board in England (Jack, Evie, and Grace are all in the top ten - how ironic )To fit the sibset, I might consider...

Lily
Ruby
Mia
Sophie
Chloe
Lucy (already been said, I second)
Holly

I like the name.Juliet better than Noelle but not sure what nn you'd use for it other than Julie, and I like.Juliet a lot better than Julie. Curious what your feelings were on Juliet and nn. I don't dislike Noelle however, and thought Ellie was both a cute and clever nn to get from it. Although Ellie is becoming quite popular these days, at least in the States.

Another thought I had for you was Katherine nn Kat. I thought the one syllable would make a nice bookend to the trio with one syllable Jack obviously being on the other side. And being 3 letters it will look nice next to Eva. All are short cute and classic. My prediction though is that Kat.will have a love/hate response. People will either love it because its a classic nn but underused these days. Or they will be mad at me for.even suggesting it b/c its not as outwardly elegant or dramatic as Juliet or Noelle. But dont forget the name I'm actually suggesting is Katherine. And if you don't like Kat I think Kate would work just as well. Even if it is getting really popular, all the good ones are. But personally, I think Kat could be cute.
