We just realized that we only have one girl's name agreed on, and that it's entirely possible that we may have more than one girl at some point in our lives... we have a million boys names, but not a ton of girls names, so we are looking for others.

Our agreed upon girl's name is Claire Isadora and our agreed upon boy's name is Felix Grey.

My SO is really liking Shiloh as a middle name (it does have family significance, it's not just because of Brangelina =)) But we can't figure out a first name to go with it.

Some other girls names we like:
Eve
Evangeline
Maren
Adrienne
Artemis (although this is probably only acceptable for a middle name so...)
Amelia

Any suggestions for a first name to go with it? I'm finding it pretty difficult.

I do like Amelia. :)

As for the middle name though, even if it sounds a little off kilter at first, eventually it starts to flow very well.

For example, had we been having a girl, her name would have been Aubrianna Paula Ann.

Aubrianna because I love that name, and Paula Ann because that was my fiance's mother's name and she has passed on. So it was really important that no matter what the first name is, the middle names were Paula Ann. And at first I thought it sounded awful but I figured it was just a middle name and I'd deal with it...but after saying it so much, it actually sounds quite pleasant now. :) To me, anyway. lol

I like your girl's name! :)
I'm not a fan of either name, but I think it's a very cool combo!

Adrienne Shiloh is really, really cool, imo.
At first, I was caught by Evangeline Shiloh, and was going to say what a shame, because that would really bring on the Brangelina associations.
Then I focuse on Adrienne Shiloh, and I think it goes very, very well with Claire Isadora, in that they're both classic, elegant names, with charming, exotic middle names.

I'm not a huge fan of Shiloh, but I think it sounds okay as a middle name.

Maren Shiloh
Adrienne Shiloh
Amelia Shiloh

I love the name Eve Shiloh from your list. I would stay away from Evangeline because of the whole Angelina Jolie thing.

Maren Shiloh is my second favoite =)

It's too bad Artemis is a bit much for a first because Artemis Eve would be such a cool name. If I were a writer, I think I would have to name a character that. Fantasy or comic book, I think. Ooh, tangent. Sorry. ^_^'

Your two agreed upon names are sooo nice. The first names are so classic and the middle names are classic but on the slightly more unusual end.
I love the name Felix.

Tabitha Shiloh
Tessa Shiloh
Lydia Shiloh
Lucy/Lucia Shiloh

Of your names, I would have to say either Adrienne Shiloh or Amelia Shiloh.

Claire's my favorite girl's name ever, and Claire Isadora is a beautiful combo!

Of your names, I'd pick Amelia Shiloh or Maren Shiloh. Yeah, it's pretty hard to think of a first name that goes with Shiloh as a mn.

I think Eve Shiloh sounds great, actually. Adrienne Shilow is beautiful too.

Do you pronounce Adrienne ay-dree-EHN or AY-dree-uhn? If you pronounce it the first way, then it's kind of sticky with "Shiloh", having two stressed syllables together.

Now to contradict myself, Eve Shiloh is nice, since the points of articulation for "v" and "sh" are fairly far apart, so the pronunciations will be distinct.
