We have two girls, Darsie and Elise, and we’re expecting a third child. We have a boy name that we have had picked out since before Darsie – Robert, but we are totally stumped on girls names. We want something that goes with Darsie and Elise (dubbed Robdar and Elrob while waiting to know their sexes), obviously. I like two syllable names but am not really picky. Nothing too modern and popular – no Bailey, McKenna’s, etc.
Pardon me for listing and leaving, but there is a 2-year-old who will be recharged and ready to destroy my house again soon.
Aubrey
Bethany
Bianca
Brenna
Celeste
Clara
Cora
Fiona
Holly
Joy
Linden
Lindsay
Mira
Molly
Robin
Romy
Susana
I always forget about the name Clara. Then I see it on someone’s list and then I remember how much I like it! Darcie, Elise, and Clara.
I really like Mira (meer-ah) too! Darcie, Elise, and Mira.
My sister is Lindsey (not Lindsay), so I have to say I like that one as well… Darcie, Elise, and Lindsa/ey.
What about Marin? I came across that in a book I’m reading right now (as a character name) and instantly fell in love with it. But, I most likely would never use it (though I love love it), because I have a sister named Mary. And for me that is just too close. (Do not really want a child named after/close to this particular sister.) Good luck Shannon!!
How about:
Camille
Sylvie
Felicity
Fiona
I like the Camille suggestion from above, and Swistle’s suggestion of Mira and Celeste. I think a name ending in something other than and “ie” sound or the “ise” sound would be good to keep them different. A couple other suggestions:
Greta
Lena
Nora
Megan
Kathleen
Kara
Jocelyn
Violet
Charlotte
Stella
Danielle
Tara
Margot
Gretchen
I find it hard to come up with the right style, because Darsie seems like a more modern punchy spelling but Elise seems more demure and classic. Aside from no Bailey’s and McKennas, are you looking for more of the old fashioned feel or the original feel?
Namipedia is a good source for finding what other people have named siblings of Darsie (Darci / Darcy / Darcie) and Elise. Xanthe jumped out in a really good way. It is pronounced “ZAN-thee”. Staci is another one that shares the S and long E sound in both your daughters’ names.
Darsie, Elise and Xanthe would be wonderful.
I know the ending is repetitious, but Marie immediately comes to mind. Come to think of it, the endings look alike with Darsie and Marie but don’t sound alike so I think it’s ok. Cecily also immediately comes to mind. I was thinking Felicity too, and I see someone else already posted it.
Darsie, Elise, Marie
Darsie, Elise, Cecily
Darsie, Elise, Felicity
I like all 3 sets. Good luck.
Darcie, Elise, and Molly seem like a great trio to me. What about:
Bridget
Emma
Lena / Lina
Noelle
Sasha
Vivian
Nora
Willa
Lily
Mia
Kira / Kyra
Tess / Tessa
Julia
Paige
Any you like? I think Noelle works especially well. Darsie, Elise, and Noelle. I also think Kira sounds great!
I like Romy!
I like Cora or Nora, something of that style. A different ending than your other girls names.
Nora, Darsie and Elise … all have sort of the classic feel, but yet are cute and are coming back in popularity… so I think they’re a good fit with each other.
Ooh, I like Greta! Or Bridget! And Clara is my all-time favorite girl name.
I love the repeating “i”, “s” and “e” in Darsie and Elise.
What about Maisie?
I also like:
Tess/Tessa
Claire
Linnea
Carly
Lila
Marissa
Everly/Everleigh
i love Clara!
I love Camille and Marin.
Good Luck!
I like Swistle’s suggestions of Celeste, Lindsay and Susana (though I prefer the sp. Susannah). Suzanne is good, too, if you’d like two syllables.
sounds like you like the old-fashioned style… what about Mae? Annie? June?
I think Romy is a great choice! Sounds so cute with Darsie & Elise.
If you want to echo the ‘ee’ and ‘s’ sounds from Darsie and Elise:
Lucy
Josie
Sadie
Rosalie
If you want to get away from those:
Flora
Heidi
Pippa
Chloe
Already suggested names that I second:
Maisie
Lily
Violet
Willa
Tessa
From Swistle’s list I like Clara and Cora. I also like the suggestions of Sadie, Lucy, and Nora.
I love the name Romy and think it sounds adorable with Darsie & Elise. But, you kind of have an “s” thing going with Darsie & Elise so here are some other suggestions with “s” that I like too:
Sylvie
Tessa
Josie
Stella
Ashby
Sadie
Good Luck!
Darsie and Elise are names we had in the hopper long before there were ever any babes, so this is soooooo tough. We never imagined three kids but that is what we are having and we are happy, just nameless!
I really like Lucy, Lily, and Clara. Jeff likes names like Stacy, Elizabeth, Ashley, etc..
And I think my hesitation with girl names stems from having two girls and maybe just kind of hoping it is a boy.
I like Clare (or Claire) with Darsie and Elise .
I really like the idea of echoing the S/I/E of Darsie and Elise without rhyming.
What about:
Rose/ Rosalie/ Rosie
Sophie
Lindsey
Lucy
Cecily
Rohaise? I prefer it when the ‘h’ is silent though.
