Our last name starts with "Ch" and has the "ch" sound. Our DD's name is Juliette.
Thanks so much!!

Knowing only that your last name starts with "ch" makes it hard for me to officially determine if Francesca sounds okay with your last name. It is my favorite of your choices, though. I chose Francesca and Eloise. Both sound gorgeous with Juliette!

I voted for Sylvie and Eloise. Both are lovely names that sound great with Juliette!

I voted for Sylvie and Annelie.
I LOVE Sylvie, and Annelie is such an offbeat choice I just had to vote for her! Annalee/Annaleigh is considered trashy around here, but Annelie is classy in my eyes, and I didn't think that many would vote for her... Anneli is a somewhat normal name in Norway where I live so I see nothing wrong with Annelie, although Annaleigh does nothing for me....
I almost voted Noelle though, I like her too...
And Vibeke is intriguing! I honestly thought that name was only in use in Scandinavia so I'd be very interested in hearing how it made it to your list!! Please tell me if it's not too much trouble!
I like Vivica more, but each to their own ^^
On a Norwegian girl I'd guess a Vibeke was born during or just after the 80's :)

Thanks for all the responses!
In answer to the question about Vibeke... there are a couple reasons it made its way onto our list. My husband knew a Weibke who made a good impression, so he liked that version of the name, but I'm really not a fan of "W" names. I lived in Denmark and had heard of the name Vibeke, but never gave it much thought 'til he mentioned Weibke. I thought I'd throw it out on a poll here, because if there's anyplace that different names have a welcome reception, it seems to be Nameberry! :)
(For the record, the one Vibeke I was close with in Denmark was also a middle-aged woman. :) Oh well... I do like the suggestion of Viveka! That's cool!)
I'm leaning toward Sylvie or Francesca for our name... we'll see if I can get DH on board. :)
