Hi,

My DH and I are going round and round in circles trying to think of a girls name that goes with Hugh and Felix. Am due on 13th April and we have decided on Angus for a boy, but are stuck on girls. Current thoughts are Eliza, Sofia, Alice, Martha…are we brave enough to go with Maude, Aurora, Electra or Marina?

Thanks

Not keen on Aurora or Electra.

Sofia and all its variants are pretty common now.

I personally love Maude and think it goes well with your boys' names. Eliza, Alice, Martha and Marina are all nice names too though.

Lucinda (Lucy)?
I'm afraid Aurora & Electra sound like 70s prog rock bands to me and Marina is where you park the yacht, no?! Wink

I really like Maude.

Otherwise how about Audrey, Caroline, Helena (if you don't mind two of your DC sharing an initial), Ingrid, Sadie or Valerie?

Eliza is a beautiful name! Was on my list for dd but my cousin has an Elisa, so was too similar Sad

Matilda! First name that popped into my head when I read the other two names. Although on your list I like, Sofia and Martha

Oh I think Theodora would be perfect with your boy's names (both fab names by the way).

I think Maud/e sounds clunky to my ears.

From your list, Eliza is by far my favourite as a sibling combination.

I feel like Cecily would work well with the two names you have in your family. From your list, I can imagine Martha maybe working.

Marina or Alice are great and work well with your DS names, maybe the edge to Marina. Not keen on Sofia, Electra or Maude.

Other suggestions: Lavinia, Julia, Iris, Edith

I like Martha & Marina. Round here I know two Marthas each named for the Tom Wait's song. One is 3, the other 22. Guardian article on Tom Wait's Martha
