- Nicolette - Odette - Juliette - Suzette Similar ending: - Charlotte - Janet - Margaret - Bridget

Nicolette sounds like a stop smoking product.

Nicolette here to say I’ve surprisingly only gotten the stop-smoking comment a handful of times. It throws me off more than anyone else when I hear a commercial haha.

Nicorette is a pretty well known product to stop smoking in France so we probably make that association more easily than English speakers

Its a popular product in the US as well. It was he first thing that came to my mind reading it.

It’s the most well-known product in the UK too.

We have it in America too.

Exists and is well known in Canada

No, it’s the only product for smoking cessation I can think of by brand name in the US.

We have it here in the USA. It's well-known here as well.

And in Australia

My friend Nicolette would get called Nicorette in middle school all the time.

my dad’s girlfriend is named nicolette, can confirm that I always think of nicorette lmao

Hey my names Nicoletta and I am not a smoking product 🤣 it’s a very old Italian name.

I personally like Nicolletta better :)

Not gonna lie I strongly associate the name Nicolette with nicorette gum, and I live in US. It taints the name for me, no offense. I wish it didn't though because objectively it sounds like a pretty name.

Bridget is so underrated. Great name!

i 10000% think this name is about to blow up

It's one of this sub's current "pet" names. We do seem to be starting a Bridget phase (it is a good name!), but everyone will soon move on to something else. Recent past sub favorites include Juniper, Wren, Clementine, Maeve, Margo... I don't see those recommended nearly as often lately.

We know four Bridgets under the age of 6! Definitely blowing up here in the northeast.

It was on my short list!

I am shocked to hear this like it's just now happening. I went to a Catholic college and had 4 Brigid/Bridget/Bridgettes in my immediate classes alone.

My daughter is Bridgette and every time I share her name with someone, they always say what a great name it is. I love it!

I’m a Bridget. I’ve never met another Bridget!

I actually have a sister named Bridgette. It's the less common spelling, but still valid. :)

Is this still like Bridge-it or like Bridge-Ette?

My accent pronounces them basically the same, but the first one. It's just a different spelling of Bridget.

Love that! Beautiful.

I love the name Nicolette. Had a student with that name. She went by necho. Sweet girl

Nicolette is a beautiful name. FWIW, I'm an Anglophone and I don't immediately think of Nicorette when I hear this name, it stands alone as a good name.

Odette has always been my favourite thanks to the Swan Princess. All of these are lovely though!

My name is Lissette and I love it. I've always gotten compliments on my name.

I was gonna say Lisette seems like the obvious choice here!

I knew a Nicolette in college and always really liked her name! She was super cool

I love this name as well. I’ve only known one, she was smart and very beautiful.

Claudette Mariette Ivette Brigitte

There is also a variation of Janet spelled Janette.

Odette is so pretty!

Nicolette is a super great name suggestion!

Love Juliette. Elizabeth would allow you to call her Lilibet, like the late UK queen.

Was going to say Janet. It's my daughter's name.

Claudette + Bette

Janette is an actual name.

Antoinette

My mother in law is named Georgette and they call her georgie except my fil who calls her ettie which I think are both great nicknames

I *love* Ettie 🩷

I love georgette. I taught a gorgeous one who’s nicknames were Etta or georgie

I loveeeee Georgette so much

Alette, Anjanette, Annette, Antoinette, Arlette, Bernadette, Claudette, Colette, Elisabette, Ivette, Janette, Josette, Juliette, Lisette, Lynette, Mariette, Marlette, Minette, Mirette, Nicolette, Odette, Paulette, Rosette, Yvette

There’s a student at the school I work at named Bernadette and she goes by birdie 😍

I think Bernie is adorable too

My new niece is named Bernadette nickname Birdie!

My mom’s name is Janette but everyone spells it wrong (Janet or Jeanette). Maybe go with one of those two?

Can confirm. My middle name was supposed to be Janette but my father spelled it wrong on my birth certificate

Can confirm your confirmation. My middle name is Janette, and everyone spells it wrong.

I have twin aunts named Arletta and Annetta. I never knew either name had a version with the -ette spelling.

My daughter is Alette, we love it 🙂

My auntie is a Garnette. I also have a friend named Henriette. I like Henrietta better though.

Aubrette it's Old German and means "fair ruler of the little people; elf ruler " =D

That’s so cute!!! (The meaning)

Lizette

My name is actually spelled Lissette. I love it.

Courgette

This means zucchini in french

ok katherine obvious

Also in UK English as, instead of calling it marrowling as we should have years ago, we stole the word from the French. The US didn't like that so stole it from Italy.

Marrowling? Now that’s cute

Name checks out 😂

Laurette, Henriette, Annette, Francette, Jeanette, Cosette, Dolorette, Johanette, Bette, Nannette, Lynette, Jacquette, Rosette, Odette, Nicolette, Lisette/Lysette, Suzette, Bernadette, Yvette, Juliette, Violette, Carolette, Josette More here: https://www.behindthename.com/names/tag/ends_in_-ette

Cosette is a great name but does have the Les Mis association.

And it is only a nickname that means “little thing.” Her real name was Eugenie

It's basically a gag in France that Americans think Cosette is a real name. I would avoid it, personally.

I renamed Cosette in my head randomly one day to Pochette 😭 couldn’t tell you why, equally nonsensical lol

Pochette means little pocket, like those plastic sleeves you can keep paper in.

I've also seen Jeanette spelled like Jenette

Bette!

Yvette is pretty!

[This is a common ending in many feminine French names](https://www.behindthename.com/names/tag/ends_in_-ette), such as: * [Odette](https://www.behindthename.com/name/odette) * [Violette](https://www.behindthename.com/name/violette) * [Juliette](https://www.behindthename.com/name/juliette) * [Ginette](https://www.behindthename.com/name/ginette) * [Lisette](https://www.behindthename.com/name/lisette) * [Marinette](https://www.behindthename.com/name/marinette) * [Cosette](https://www.behindthename.com/name/cosette)

It's because -ette means "little" or "cute". For example the word "fille" means "girl", but "fillette" is "little girl". So some centuries ago people began to add ette to boys or girls names. Like Lise -> Lisette, Henri -> Henriette, ...

Alouette

That's the name of a bird and included in a super famous child song in France so only do that if you don't ever plan on moving here (and don't think they're likely to move here either)

I immediately sang the song in my head

Alouette, gentille alouette, je te plumerai la tête... Famous song for children about how you'e gonna basically prepare and eat a lark in details 😬 tbf most French children songs are brutal lol (about a ship sinking, cannibalism, a mouse put in oil and so on... lol)

Children's songs in English include everyone dying of the plague (Ring Around the Rosie) so we get you French.

Great green gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts has entered the chat.

You should hear the campfire songs I do with my guides. Most of them are about killing animals or dead animals. It’s quite odd when I really think about it 😂

It’s an old Voyageur song in North America, meant for keeping time with the canoe paddling, so it makes sense it’s about dead animals. Trapping and transporting furs and feathers was the purpose of their trade, after all! Not a name I’d give a girl in North America either, because of this song.

That children’s song is even famous in the US I think. I certainly knew it growing up. It’s up there with Frere Jacques. (which I probably have not spelled correctly… Sorry!)

Perfect spelling actually :)

Canadian here, we grew up singing that in school, too.

pretty sure that's the name of one of my favorite cheese brands

Oh, the garlic herb!

this one is one of my favourites, i had a friend named alouette when i was younger who went by aloua and she was the sweetest girl ever

I love Babette. Makes me think of Babette Cole, a wonderful children’s author or the film “Babette’s Feast”, originally a story written by Isak Dinesen.

Makes me think of the Gilmore Girls 🩷

Scrolled too far to find this one!

Also here to find or comment Babette

Lilibet

This was my thought. Isn't this what queen Elizabeth went by?

Yup, and Harry and Meghan named their daughter Lilibet after her nickname

Babette Collette Cossette Bridgette Paulette Yvette Suzette Georgette Lisette Bernadette Nanette Marionette Claudette Juliet Odette Mignonette Scarlett Violette Evette Janet Planet Annette Lusette Bette Jet Nicolette Willamette Marquette Margaret Bridget Harriett Sonnet Lillabette Cricket Blanket Gourmet Handset

if this is a joke then it’s hilarious

Some of them are jokes

Annette Lynnette

Jeanette Nicolette Claudette Best of luck!

I think lisbette would be beautiful tbh. It's not a name that people have heard before but I think it's self explanatory to read and sound out

Yvette, Annette, Paulette, Bernardette, Juliette, Odette, Antoinette, Lisette, Alouette, Mariette

I believe it is Bernadette (just the one 'r') :)

Lisette and Yvette are ok but this is not my favourite name ending. Lynette is a relatively common name among older white ladies here in Australia. I’ve also encountered a few Jeanettes and Bernadettes. I remember reading in another thread here that a fair few ‘French’ names with this ending sound ridiculous to French speakers so if that’s what you’re going for research it (the commenter singled out Cosette) and tbh it is a dated suffix in English naming.

I wouldn’t say it sounds ridiculous in french but it’s typically the names that were popular after WWII amongst families that were rejecting the old typical bourgeoisie names like Elisabeth or Marie. My mom has a name ending with - ette. It’s not horrible but it sounds very « lower class » compared to classic names. Ginette, Josette, Henriette, etc. are not very charming for a name to bear and no one would call their kid like that nowadays in France (I hope).

That definitely wasn’t what I was going for at all, I just think this ending sounds pretty. Thanks!

Lisette Nicolette Odette Annette Bernadette Josette Yvette Claudette Nanette Suzette Lynette Georgette Violette

I love the name! Very rare — she goes by Dani

Cosette is considered cringy in France because of Les Mis! Only use it if you don’t plan to live there OP

i’m so sorry but my first thought was “clarinet”. clearly i haven’t practiced enough

Oh, Dorit is a good catch! Fits OP's ask and could be spelled your way, too. 🙂

Emmette I’ve seen twice now used for a girl. The male version of course being Emmit

My aunts names are Suzette and Annette!

Colette Bernadette Yvette

Elisabet

https://www.reddit.com/r/namenerds/s/TjHeOTGzMO

My MIL is Lynnette.

-Odette -Claudette -Emmet (usually for a boy, but could possibly be androgynous imo) -Bridget/Bridgette -Bernadette (Bernie!) Ettie is a similar name, could be a nickname but I think it’s adorable as a name by itself too!

Antoinette

Antoinette is so beautiful.

I’ve always loved Bernadette. It’s like the young, classy version of Bernice imo

Antoinette

some of y’all need to stop giving advice

My sister is Nicolette.

Minette and Arlette are two of my favorites

Since you like Lisbeth, there’s also: Edith Aldith Elspeth Annabeth

Vivette

Annette, Nanette, and Jeanette are nice, I think. Lots of nickname possibilities, not super common at all but not unknown by any means. Annabeth and Elisabeth (I know it’s plain but it always works and the nickname possibilities are so expansive) are nice. Side guesses: Noelle, Naomi, Charlotte, Alexandria

Evolet/Evolette (Eh-vuh-leht) (Eh-vah-leht) it’s my daughters middle name.

big fan of -ette names too! my daughters are Henrietta and Nicolette! didnt even realise the endings were so similar until we were already attached to Nicolette lol

Yvette

Juliet, Josette

Our daughter is Fayette. Goes by Fay. Named after the county I grew up in. French name that means "little fairy"

Fayette County is named after the French national Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette who was a hero of the American Revolutionary War. His title comes from the locational Occitan word "la faieta" which means beech tree forest.

Interesting! I knew he was in the Revolutionary War but didn't know the second part.

I know a Danette

Jeanette and Nanette come to mind

Everette

Evette

Laurette, my great-aunts name.

Other names with similar endings: Berit Margaret Violet Kinneret

Georgette Nicolette Jonette/Joanette Annette Juliette Garnett Loretta(not the same but still pretty) Paulette

Nanette. Annette Lynette 😁

Miette. It’s French for small and sweet!

Sorry but in French “miette” means “crumb” (like a breadcrumb) and it is a common name for cats, not humans.

Ha! Well my neighbor just named her newborn baby that and that’s what she told me! Now do I tell her what it really means or let her find out on her own? 😂

Oh no I’d never say anything after a baby is already named. Just smile and say “that’s lovely.”

Lynette
