My husband and I are due with our first October 13 - a girl.
- We want something unique, but not weird, or strange spellings.
- Nothing too common or trendy either.
- My husband's deceased mother's name was Ellen, so that is a big contender for a middle name.
- I am concerned that the "N" sounds in Ellen and Aronoff is too much "N" sound. Last name pronounced "Aaron - Off."
- We definitely want something that gives us cute nickname options as well.
Some names we are considering but can't exactly agree on are:
Karenna Ellen
Elka Wynn
Lucia (Lucy) Ellen
Amelia or Amelie Ellen
Names we considered but rejected are:
Hazel
Ginger
Georgia
Danica
Mila
Marion
Corinne
Colleen
India
Maya
Faye
Imala
Viola (I love this name but a very close neighbor has a daughter with this name)
Any help, suggestions on first (and middle if Ellen isn't suitable) are greatly appreciated. We just can't seem to get a name that we both love and adore.
Thank you!!
I love the name Karenna, but I think the sounds in it are too similar to the sounds in Aronoff.
I would suggest the name Elsa (because of Elke), but it seems like a lot of EL with Ellen.
Maybe Isla? Isla Aronoff, Isla Ellen Aronoff.
Or Anya: Anya Aronoff, Anya Ellen Aronoff. That adds even more N, though.
I love the name Liesl: Liesl Aronoff, Liesl Ellen Aronoff.
Bianca: Bianca Aronoff, Bianca Ellen Aronoff. The nickname Bee is so cute.
The name Amelia is getting more and more common, and I like the variation Amalia better anyway---but I worry that Amalia could look like Amelia with a typo. Still, it's so pretty: Amalia Aronoff, Amalia Ellen Aronoff.
Camilla: Camilla Aronoff, Camilla Ellen Aronoff. Cammie, Milla, Milly.
I so wish someone would use Magnolia! Magnolia Aronoff, Magnolia Ellen Aronoff. Maggie, Nola, Lia.
Melina: Melina Aronoff, Melina Ellen Aronoff. Mel, Lee, Lina. Her initials would give you the nickname Mea.
