Sister for Leila?
My husband and I are coming up with names, and are stuck on girls. For boys we have Aidan and Colin, and for girls we love the name Leila. However, we can't come up with any other girls names that we like that would sound good with Leila... He loves Emma but I'm not sold. Any suggestions? We prefer 2 syllable names.

Re: Sister for Leila?
Hi there, and welcome to nameberry! You've picked out some lovely names. I really love Colin and Leila, and Aiden's nice, but very, very popular.
Emma's great name, too, but it's also extremely popular. Have you considered Emmeline or Amelia in its place?
Some more ideas to go with Leila:
Esme
Simone
Ruby
Charlotte
Cecile
Clara
Daphne
Delphine
Eva
Frances
Georgia
Lucy
Phoebe
Scarlett
Sasha
Tamsin
Tessa
Willa
Camille
Some more (three syllables):
Beatrix
Francesca
Elodie
Genevieve
Cassandra
Juliet
Miranda
Vivienne
Viviana
Emmeline
Boys:
Cullen
Callum
Finnegan
Joseph
Quinlen
Declan
Ronan
Dashiell
Oliver
Henry
Best wishes to you! :-)

Re: Sister for Leila?
I like Charlotte! I also like Jill's suggestion of Esme to go with Leila.
Middle names to go with Charlotte:
Charlotte Genevieve
Charlotte Francesca (that one is kind of difficult for to say over and over, but I like it and it may be eaisier for you)
Charlotte Georgiana
Charlotte Cecily
Charlotte Caroline
Charlotte Beatrix/Beatrice
Charlotte Matilda
Charlotte Delaney
Charlotte Victoria
Charlotte Louise
Charlotte Jane
Charlotte Penelope
Charlotte Josephine
Charlotte Avalon
Charlotte Estelle
Charlotte Susanne
Hope it helped! Sorry for any repeats!

Re: Sister for Leila?
Love Zard and Momma V's advice! Charlotte Eloise, Charlotte Beatrix, Charlotte Josephine, and Charlotte Genevieve are so beautiful! :-)
I wanted to add Gemma to the mix, as your husband loved Emma. (It's pronounced with a J sound.)
Charlotte Amelia
Charlotte Annabelle
Charlotte Clementine
Charlotte Caroline
Charlotte Diana
Charlotte Evangeline
Charlotte Eleanor
Charlotte Eliza
Charlotte Felicity
Charlotte Helena
Charlotte Isabelle
Charlotte Mirabelle/Mirabel
Charlotte Marielle
Charlotte Rosalie
Charlotte Viviana
Best wishes! :-)

Re: Sister for Leila?
You are all so totally brilliant! Every time I look through the boards, I'm completely bowled over by all the fantastic ideas and by their range and generosity. I love the three syllable middle name suggestions with Charlotte, especially given a one-syllable last name. And perhaps with Leila, another three syllable middle name NOT starting with a vowel would be good. I agree on Aiden and Emma being too popular.
