Ideas for a baby girl. What do you think?
Genna Mae - Genna seems incomplete and dated on its own. What about combing the dominant sounds here and using Gemma with a different middle name? ;)



Ava Nelle - Ava is lovely, despite popularity, and I love Nell(e) as a nickname, but "Ava Nelle" sounds suspiciously like a prescriptiion drug (not sure if it is, or if it's currently marketed, if so). I'd likely use Ava Eleanor, Ava Eloise or Ava Penelope, with Ava Nelle as a nickname.



Jenny Leah - I like Jenny even less than Genna. Just very dated and nicknamey. I'd use a formal version, personally.



Mina Lucia - both great names, but I'd avoid both Italian vibe -a endings together unless you are, in fact, seeking to honor Italian heritage.



Romy Ann - Romy I also find adorable as a nickname for Rosemary or Romilly, but not as a given name.



Daphne Dove - Daphne is gorgeous and underused, but I wouldn't pair it with a D word uncommonly used as a name. Daphne Dove sounds a bit like a cutesy pet form or one of those overly alliterative "adult" type names, if you catch my meaning. Daphne Ann, Lucia or even Mae would work better ... something not beginning with a D.



Ella Jo - again, Eleanor, Eloise, Penelope, Annabel or Arabella Josephine would be more my style. I much prefer giving the child a longer and/or formal option -- even if the nickname form will be used -- just so they have more choices as they mature.



Christa Belle - since Christabel is a fairly common name, "Christa Belle" just seems along the lines of "Emma Leigh" or "Abbi Gail" to me. Christa, Christine, Christina, Christabel, Christianne, Christian, Christopher and such were so popular a generation ago, however, that I'd avoid most of them for an infant.



Emily Kay - I prefer one of the other middle names with Emily (only because of the "leaky" sound here), but both are fine on their own, assuming you're comfortable with the most popular choice for a decade (or at least top five, if you're in the UK).



Lili Eline - far too repetitive for my taste, though Lily, Lilly, Lillian, Lilias or Lilith are all fine names (I don't care for the "Lili" spelling unless a nickname). I'm also not at all familiar with Eline -- though there is a company called E-Line ;) -- and would likely stick with Aline, Aileen, Eileen, etc. depending on what pronunciation and origin you're going for here.



Hope that helps.
Reply:They're all cute names. I personally like Emily Kay.



Just a side comment...Christa Belle made me chuckle when I saw it. My name's Christabel. I guess it's just strange for me to see it as speparate names.
Reply:sort of weird pairings for me and quite short blunt names which would work if you have a really long last name, however I love Genna (or spelt Jenna) but not Mae. maybe Genna Isabelle to balance it out.



Ella, Christa and Leah are also nice names but I would go with

Ella Joanne

Christa Isabelle

Leah Isabelle



best of luck

Reply:I would use:



Ava

Romy

Daphne



But not with the middle names you've picked.



I think Ella, Emily and Christa are fine names - just not ones I like.



I would *love* Mina if it was spelled Minna. (With one n, I wonder if this sounds like Meena.)



Lili would be okay if it was Lily. The "i" makes it look quite flimsy. If you want to use Lili, I'd name her Lilia or Lilian and use it as a nickname.



Genna is, I think, a little dated, even with the G instead of J. Gemma is fabulous.



Similarly, Jenny is dated. Genevieve is a fresher alternative.



I also love one of your middle names - Lucia. It would be a great given name, too.
Reply:Genna Mae is alright. Try spelling it Jenna May.

Ava Nelle is pretty, I guess. Try Ava Noelle.

Jenny Leah is okay. It doesn't sound like a full name.



I like Christa Belle and Emily Kay.

Try spelling Lili 'Lily'.



xXo
Reply:Thank you for choosing names that are not so common! I'm so tired of so many people that are sticking with the same names over and over. Bless you!

Reply:Genna Mae - Cute.

Ava Nelle - Very nice.

Jenny Leah - Doesn't seem complete for some reason.

Mina Lucia - Cute. Makes me think of Mina Harker and Lucy Westenra from Dracula, and I don't know why.

Romy Ann - Pretty cute.

Daphne Dove - Sounds sort of like a cartoon character.

Ella Jo - Sounds pretty country-ish

Christa Belle - Very Nice

Emily Kay - Very Cute.

Lili Eline - Sounds like a rapper.



Sorry, I know I sound really blunt, and I don't mean to.

Romy Ann

Daphne (would use a different middle name)

Christa Belle
Reply:I love Genna Mae - it sounds unique!



But Ella Jo, Christa Belle (I think putting em together as Christabel would be better ha-ha), and Emily Kay just don't seem to be right.
Reply:christa bella is the best emily kay, lili eline and daphne dove are also nice!!!
Reply:Ava Nelle... makes me think of classic beauties like Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly. Hope that helps!

daphne - sounds like a queen of england name!

Ella- is cute but what about Ellie * thats my name =]*

Christa- is cutee and belle is also very cute

Reply:Ava Nelle sounds original yet elegant.Go for it!
Reply:I really like the name Ella, but I'm not so sure about Jo being paired with that...it sounds a little "old" and "southern".



If I had to pick a name and middle name that I like the best, I would go with Genna Mae.



I love all these first names=)
Reply:Jenny leah and Christa Belle are the only ones out of your list that really seem to flow for me.
Reply:I really like Ava Nelle, It hs a great ring to it
