Names for baby #2
Hi Everyone!
My husband and I have an almost 3 year old son named Cameron Nathaniel and are expecting our second child at the end of November. We decided to keep the gender a surprise so we want to have 2 options for each. So far our picks are...
Cole Micaiah
Caleb Isaiah
Ava Abigail
Josie Eleora (eh lee OR ah)
We plan on keeping the middle name hebrew/biblical and are having a hard time finding a middle name for Josie that we love. Any feedback and suggestions are very much appreciated.
Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestions, we really like Caleb Elijah as well. How do you guys feel about the name Calliope/Kalliope Abigail or Calliope/Kalliope Rebecca. Do you prefer Calliope/Kalliope or Josie more? Also, we aren't very big fans of Josephine however we dont hate it, do you guys know of any other names Josie could be short for as it's very hard to find a good flowing middle name with such a short name.
Thanks a bunch!
I used to love Calliope! It feels a bit over the top to me, but I definitely prefer Calliope Rebecca to Calliope Abigail. Both are nice, though! Between Josie and Calliope, I would definitely go with Josie--I think stylistically, Josie just "fits" with Cameron, whereas Cameron and Calliope are two very different styles, despite the same first initial.
If you don't like Josephine (which, I thought of this as soon as I posted, haha), what about Jocelyn or Johanna? I've heard of both getting the nn Josie, although I think it's a bit more of a stretch for Johanna. There's also Josette and Josiane (joe-zee-ahn). Although then Johanna might not flow very well with Eliora, but I do think Johanna Eliora is stunningly gorgeous--I wouldn't really worry about the double "A" endings in this case!
Good luck!

I really love Caleb Isaiah and Josie Eleora from your picks. I think I prefer Elora or Lenora to Elora though. As for Calliope/Kalliope....I always find this name hard to pronounce. I have to stop and think about it and then say it. I think Calliope Abigail is nice with this spelling but I prefer Josie. Maybe Josephine nn Josie?

I love your list! Caleb Isaiah is my favorite of your boys' list, but then I'm biased--Caleb's my favorite boys' name! I really love Caleb Elijah/Caleb Elias, as well. From your girls' names, I like Josie Eleora, although I would do Josephine Eliora, personally, nn Josie! I think that'd be fabulous.
Good luck!

Caleb Isaiah is cool.
I like Ava and Abigail but not together. The combo sounds a little choppy.
I like Josie as a nickname for Josephine or any other feminine form of Joseph, or perhaps Jocelyn/Josselin/Joscelin. I like Eleora spelled Eliora. My suggestions for mns:
Eliora, Elisheba (eh LISH eh bah), Claudia, Deborah, Delilah, Judith, Mary, Miriam, Phoebe, Priscilla, Rachel, Rebecca, Ruth, Sapphira, Sarah, Tabitha

My friend Josci (said like Josie)'s middle name is Helene (heleen), if that's any help.
Also, I prefer Elora (ell-or-a) to Eleora which has more syllables than I like saying, lol.
