Sister for Jonah

Jonah's baby sister is due November 30 and we are in the thick of trying to come up with a classic name that jives with Jonah. Jonah has two middle names; James, the middle name of my father and grandfather, and Hammel, which is my maiden name. Keeping a family name as the middle name is very important for us. We like Violet, my grandmother's first name, and Brocklin, part of my other grandmother's maiden name, Van Brocklin, as middle names.
  1. Abbey
    • Origin:

      English word name or short form of Abigail
    • Description:

      Abbey might sound exactly like the popular Abigail nickname Abby or Abbie, but spelled this way it is also a churchy word name with a Gothic feel. But hearing it, no one will know the difference.

      Greek
    • Meaning:

      "maiden"
    • Description:

      Cora is a lovely, old-fashioned girls' that has been recently rejuvenated by its contemporary-feeling simplicity. In fact, Cora seemed headed straight for the top of the popularity list when the coronavirus pandemic somewhat weakened its appeal.
