[Opinions] Re: Namesakes and Jillian
in reply to a message by LMS
Eleanor Jillian sounds nice.
Best namesakes:
Jill - Jill or Jillian
Darlene - Darlene or Darla
Douglas - Douglas
Dean - Dane for a boy and Deanna for a girl
Betty - Elise, Beth, Elizabeth / Elisabeth, Bethan, Isabelle / Isabel / Isobel, Isabella, Sabella, Isabeau, Eliza, Elsa, Elspeth, Lily, Lillian, Lillia / Lilia (there are lots of great forms of Elizabeth)
Lou - Louis or Ludovic for a boy and Lovisa for a girl
Carl - Carl for a boy or Caroline for a girl
Roger - Roderick (not really a form of Roger, but it works)
Allen - Allen or Alain for a boy and Alanna or Alaina for a girl
Joshua - Joshua
Reinhold - Rein
Frida - Frida although I prefer Freya, but since they aren't related names, I don't know if it would work.
