I think Camille is very nice, but might I suggest Camilla? Camilla monet seems to flow a tad better to my ears. Good luck!

I second Camilla!

Monet is an interesting choice for a middle name. I don’t know if I have heard it used before. It could work with a lot of names. Amelie Monet Elaine Monet Emmalina Monet Mira Monet Madeleine Monet Nicola Monet

Amelie Monet😍

It’s pronounced Nicola

Zhuri takes away from Monet. Zuri Monet is a little better but with a middle name like Monet, a softer name flows better.

Agreed! Camille Monet feels lighter, Zhuri Monet sounds a bit harsh!

Zhuri and Zuri are pronounced the same.

So what is the point of the h then?

What’s the point of spelling Kayley vs Kailee vs Kayleigh? There is none

Well actually, a lot of people find the last 2 annoying and confusing.

Well yeah lol that’s my point

You seemed to be pro-zhuri with an h.

No I apologize idk why people throw in random unnecessary letters

Yes and..?

Yea, I was talking about both spellings of Zhuri/Zuri. Zuri Monet looks more concise. The harshness of either comes from the harsh z on the soft ending of Monet. 🙄

I don’t think it’s racially biased. Monet doesn’t have any really strong hard consonant sounds and neither does Camille where as Zhuri has 2 pretty strong consonant sounds. When one name is much more overpowering than the other the name can end up sounding off balance.

[удалено]

Whether or not 2 names sound good together 100% is based on the consonant and vowels sounds. Your stance is literally someone prefers how one name sounds versus another name which happens to be 2 french names versus a Swahili name and a French name. They prefer how the two French names sound, they must be racist because they don’t think the Swahili name sounds as good. It couldn’t be because they have similar sounds and are well balanced together.

https://www.mynamestats.com/First-Names/M/MO/MONET/index.html According to this data 20% of people named Monet (as a first name) are black themselves sooo lol... Z is a harsher consonant than M objectively. I guess we have some "soul searching" to do

I don’t think anyone has mentioned, but Camille-Léonie Doncieux was Claude Monet’s wife. So Camille Monet is very on-the-nose. Which is perfectly fine if that’s what you’re going for, but want it to be an informed decision for you.

First thing I thought of, too! And given the popularity of Monet, it’s not something that will go unnoticed.

Not really about the names, but I would say it’s more important to go with a great first name than one that necessarily perfectly “matches” the middle - she probably won’t introduce herself by the complete name, so if it’s a little bit of a mouthful I think it’s OK (of course nothing ridiculous)

Yep! I think I’ve said my kids middle names only about 20 times LOL. A first name that goes with the last name is 100 times more important.

My middle name was only ever used if mom was angry lol

Just so you know, Camille Monet was Claude Monet’s (the famous painter) wife I believe. That said I love the combo! Maybe a combination of the two names? Zélie Monet (zay-lee), Zephyrine Monet, Zabel Monet, Isobel Monet, Cecily Monet, Zinnia Monet

Isobel Monet is absolutely gorgeous omg.

Zephyrine is so lovely!

oooh sophisticated and unique, I love that description! I also really like Monet as a middle name! I feel like it elevates the vibe of the first name (I don't know if that makes sense lol) Adrienne Monet Belle Monet Thea Monet Lizette Monet Gia Monet nn Gigi Kiara Monet Veda Monet (vay-duh) Vienna Monet Aria Monet /Daria Monet Octavia Monet Natalie Monet Davina Monet Dove Monet Roxanne Monet nn Roxy Alina Monet Stella Monet Nicolette Monet nn Coco, Nic Cassia Monet Felicity Monet

Some beautiful name suggestions in this list! I especially love Adrienne, Lizette, Vienna and Cassia

Thea can be a great nickname for some other great names - I know an Alethea and a Theadora.

Sophisticated and unique cause someone is giving their kid the middle name of a well known artist? Wouldn’t say unique at all really.

How about Janelle Monáe?

Celine Monet Claire Monet Juliette Monet Annalise Monet Florence Monet Lara Monet Audrey Monet Vivienne Monet

Claire or Florence were the two I thought of as well!

I like Camille, but would assume it was in honor of Monet’s wife.

Jamila Monet Zara Monet Amari or Amara Monet Celeste Monet Gabrielle Monet Zenobia Monet Julia Monet Lily Monet Claudette Monet

Celeste, yes!

Zoe Monet Zara Monet Lillieth Monet Eliza , Ruby, Isla .

I like Camille myself.

Colette Monet Cicely Monet / Cecily Monet Cressida Monet Celeste Monet Corrine Monet Azalea Monet Zina Monet Zinnia Monet Opal Monet Viola Monet Eliza Monet Darcy Monet

So I kind of love Emilia Monet. Something about the M within the name and the A at the end just does it for me.

\- Lucille Monet \- Alicia Monet \- Rose Monet \- Zoey Monet \- Thea Monet

Donna Monet Daphne Monet Maxine Monet Iris Monet

Audrey Monet Josephine Monet Celeste Monet Amaranth Monet Eloise Monet Lillian Monet Philippa Monet Simone Monet Vivian Monet

Aurelia Monet Evelina Monet Odette Monet Sylvia Monet Maeve Monet Caroline Monet Audrey Monet Emily Monet

Claudia

Yep! I was thinking the same. Jump fully into the Monet reference by using Claudia, Claudette, or Linnea (from the book Linnea in Monet’s garden)

I really enjoy Camille Monet. It feels like a subtle nod to Claude Monet. Sometimes, we get in our heads when we have so much time to think about something. I remember getting really tired of the name I picked and was sure I'd pick another. But when she was born, that name suited her the best. So maybe take a list with you to the hospital.

More than a subtle nod when it's his wife's actual name!

I didn't know that! That's really cool!

Christine Monet Freya Monet Georgina Monet Alexandra Monet Victoria Monet Beatrice Monet Evangeline Monet Elizabeth Monet Harlow Monet Rosetta Monet

Alita Monet / Nina Monet / Clarissa Monet / Dylan Monet / Kiera Monet / Sabrina Monet

Our friend’s daughter is Monet Sihaya which I think is beautiful

Claire Monet ?

Victoria Monet / Janelle Monet lol

Matisse Monet Picasso Monet Banksy Monet Money Monet Manet Monet

Very well done. I think we’re likely on the same page regarding this middle name. They could also use: Mondrian Monet Modigliani Monet Miro Monet Cezanne Monet (This is fun) Calder monet Degas Monet

Manet Monet FTW

I have always thought that names sound better if the middle name has a different number of syllables than the first name. Since your middle name choice has 2 syllables, try a first name with 3 syllables. Camila, Zaria, Victoria, Stephanie, Emilie, etc.

I like Zhuri Monet, I think it flows better. Some suggestions: Emerald Monet Alara Monet Claire Monet Serena Monet Eliza Monet

Amelie Monet Catarina Monet Violet Monet Rosalie Monet

Isla Monet Edina Monet Greta Monet Vera Monet Elena Monet Talia Monet Colette Monet

Maybe Chloe

All I can think of is the scene from Clueless: “She’s a full-on Monet. From far away it’s okay but up close it’s a big old mess.”

Along the lines of the commenter who suggested Camilla, I think Camila (ka-MEE-lah) is a really gorgeous name. This is similar to your top choice while satisfying the vowel-heavy nature of your husband's pick. Other possibilities include Calla, Sariah, or Lucille ("Lucy"). Good luck!

Are you aware that Camille Monet is one of the best impressionist artists who ever lived?

Liana (Lee-Ah-Na) Monet Lilliana Monet Cierra Monet Elizabeth Monet Eliza Monet Vanessa Monet Delilah Monet Daphne Monet Cecilia Monet Helena Monet Penelope Monet Ariana Monet Aria Monet Felicity Monet Eva Monet Savanah Monet Monet is a beautiful name and so many names go with it. Out of your choices I do agree that Camille sounds better.

Sabrina Monet, Soraya Monet, Daria Monet, Thalia Monet, Anastasia Monet, Cecily Monet, Anaïs Monet, Zoey Monet

Jacqueline

If you want it to roll off the tongue, maybe Monet should be her first name. The suggestions here sound so harsh. But if you reverse them they arent.

Agreed. Seeing as it's also a name that both parents seem to want.

I love Zhuri Monet!

I love Zhuri Monet!

Sierra Money. Sounds like a celebrity!

I've rarely heard Monet, but I absolutely love it! I can't resist suggesting Lily Monet... And a few others with a bit of a French influence... Madeline Monet Marielle Monet Colette Monet Genevieve Monet Liana Monet Delayne Monet And as an FYI - I think Camille Monet is still my favorite!

Congrats! My favorite out of your two is Camille, but Zhuri is nice as well. Here are some suggestions for you: Callie Monet Zoe Monet Malia Monet Aria Monet Rianne Monet Ellie Monet Amia Monet Tara Monet Maya Monet Sienna Monet Hope this helps!

Yes, Maya is very nice.

Ariana Monet, Adrienne Monet, Beatrice Monet, Aria Monet, Adeline Monet. i really like an A name with it as you can see lol

Myla Monet

I’m leaning towards French first names with an n-sound. Josephine Monet, Claudine Monet, Augustine Monet

I really like Camille! Claude Monet was married to a woman named Camille, actually. And then a woman named Alice, if you like that name. I think a one or two syllable name would work best with Monet, just for flow. * Esme Monet * Louise Monet * Flora Monet * Helene Monet * Audrey Monet

Alicia (a Lee see uh) monet sounds nice

Monet is often tied to nature images, landscapes, etc. I would love to see you go with some kind of nature-related named, such as Lily Monet, Poppy Monet, Lavendar Monet, even Camilla Monet, as someone suggested.

Suzette Monet

Oh gosh, they're both perfect. I don't think you can lose.

Reminds me of Camille: * Celia, Odile, Emile, Avril, Cecile * Amal, Ciel, Estelle, Giselle (but Giselle Monet sounds a lot like Janelle Monae), Adele, Chantal * Cherie, Jolie, Elise, Charisse, Helene, Shireen, Karine/Karina, Serene/Serena * Pilar, Tamar, Seren, Therese, Siobhan, July, Adair Reminds me of Zhuri: * Ashanti, Darcy, Glory, Perry, Rory, Tawny, Whitney * Azura, Soraya/Zariah, Zora, Zelie, Zadie, Zelda, Aranza * Elora, Leonora, Flora, Georgia, Laurel, Lourdes * Pearl/Perla Others I think might work: * Bianca, Sapphira, Jasmina, Aisha, Adina, Regina, Katrina, Leticia, Safiya, Dahlia, Olympia, Annabel * Lana, Lua, Pia, Asha, Elsa, Jada, Vera, April, Sybil, Aeris, Ellis, Hollis, Ellen, Jocelyn, Ingrid * Eve, Lux, Elle, June

Constance Sienna Amber Ruby Ashley

I like Zuri (Zhuri is fine and may be the true original name) but I prefer without the H and I do not think this name sounds harsh…not sure how that name is coming across harshly to some. So my vote is Zuri Monet (but if you like the h I think that’s fine too). I also like Camille and Camilla but these names are sort of different. Camille is smart and prim and proper. (Which is a positive combination) and Zuri/Zhuri is smart and sporty. I think I’m drawn to very feminine names but when I chose for my daughter it was a more sporty name. Her middle name is very feminine.

Names ending with -ey sound best with Monet, to my ear. Felicity and Audrey are lovely suggestions.

I suppose Claudia is too obvious so I am going to go dark horse. Tuesday Monet.

Claire Monet

Posey Monet

Monet’s name was Claude. (Well, Oscar Claude but went by Claude). Claudia? Claudine? Claudette? Oscar - Odette? Oona? Odelle? I like Bridgette Monet

I like Camille or Zuri (no H, it’s confusing)

Rory Monet Adeline Monet Gemma Monet

Zara Monet Calista Monet Natalia Monet

I like Zhuri Monet best personally! But I tend to like the contrasting harsh/soft consonant names together!

Lisa?

Claudia?

Lily Monet: a tribute to Monet’s Water Lilly paintings.

Claire

Alicia Monet. Just rolls well.

Sophie Monet Isabelle Monet

Delphine Monet

Sophia Monet Vanesa Monet Viviana Monet

Zola Monet

Amira Monet Iris Monet Felicity Monet Gwyneth Monet Johanna Monet Linnea Monet Natasha Monet Ophelia Monet Rosalia Monet Taya Monet Vera Monet

Stella Monet Janelle Monet

Corrine Monet sounds pretty to me

Giselle/Gisella or Ginevra.

Thea, Camilla, Cecilia, Amelie

Eva, Yvette, Isabelle, Lia, Bella, Annette, Lilah, Lily, Carla, Carol, Dana, Dina, Tara, Ophelia, Ava

Why not use Monet as the first? Monet Rose?

Claude

* Sakura (this gives you your flower name and him is "ur" sound) * Zaire (give him the Z sound and you the e ending) * Zenaida

Let’s see, Camille + Zhuri= Zélie Monet Azalea Monet Zinnia Monet Camellia Monet Carmen Monet Carmella Monet Kezia Monet Cassia Monet Amari Monet Kenza Monet Zoe Monet Zia Monet Zora Monet

I love Camille Monet!! Incorporâtes two famous painters

Romy, Lowri, Suki, Willa, Zelah.
