Girl's name for #3

30 replies

LauraO1905 · 25/02/2018 08:04

I'm only 5 weeks pregnant with #3 but musing over names, have been for a while.

I have two girls Eden and Evelyn.

I have a boys name already as he will be named after my dad but struggling with another girl name.

Don't know whether to go for another 'E' name or something different.

E names on the maybe pile are:

Emma
Ella
Erin

Though I like Amy, Chloe and Alice too.

Any suggestions?

I like Elodie, Eleri and Emmeline if you are going for another E name. Also like Alice from your list.

I think Erin and Evelyn sound too similar.
Esther?
Enid?

I like your E suggestions, especially Ella and Emma. Also love a PP's suggestion of Esther! If you go with the E theme, how about:

Eloise
Elspeth
Elise
Emilia
Eleanor

I'd be torn - on the one hand, there could be confusion in years to come with letters for Miss E LauraO assuming anyone still writes letters, that is.

On the other hand, if both your girls have E names, it might be nice to continue the theme and not have DD3 as the odd one out.

I would say to pick a name you really love, and if that's Chloe over Erin, so be it!

I love Erin. This is currently my favourite of DC2 is a girl.

It's different but not too crazy out there. It goes lovely with your other two girls too.

Would you consider Estelle?

Yes Erin and Eden are very similar. However Eden and Evelyn aren't that dissimilar.
Eden Evelyn and Emma.
Other ideas.
Elsie. Elodie. Eliza. Esme. Elise. Emilia.

I was going to suggest Ella

How about Willow, Poppy or Sarah

I wouldn’t go for another E name, two is coincidence, three becomes twee.

I like Chloe.

Chloé with an acute accent - why? It should be Chloë.

I think Anna would sound good with your other names.

You have Edie and Evie so maybe Emie (Eimear)? Efie (Aoife)? Elie (Eliza)?

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm leaning more towards Emma if I stick with E but might actually go for a different letter. It might sound a bit twee.

I should have mentioned that Evelyn is pronounced Eh-veh-Lyn rather than Eev-lyn.

If you want to stick with the E, what about Ellery? Underused and lovely.

You might totally disagree but I think the name Helen would go with your girls names really nicely. I believe the name means "giver of light"

Out of curiosity does the boy name begin with an E?
