Sister for Lily - please help!

27 replies

TheBightyMoosh · 07/10/2011 13:56

Please help - I am really struggling to find nice girls' names for a sister for Lily - well, I've got loads I like but not many that DP & I agree on.

We've got a few we're ok with, but none that are making us go 'wow'!

The ones we like so far are:
Nina
Sadie
Hazel
Zoe

I don't know if there's a pattern there, but can anyone think of any similar names? My general criteria is: not too popular but not 'out there', goes with Lily (so not Milly, Tilly etc), not beginning with 'L', and not a flower name.

Please help - thank you so much! Smile

Zoe is my favourite - I have one - and then Nina. Both are lovely names.

Cecile or Cicely

Nina - grown on me recently, I think it's really cute.
Sadie - like it. Also cute
Hazel - used to love it, now not so sure. It's fine.
Zoe - like it. Nothing special but a nice name.

Similar alternatives:
Nadia, Niamh, Nadine, Naomi, Nyah, Nia, Nikita
Sydney, Seren, Saffie, Sienna, Sana, Skylar
Hollie, Heidi, Honey, Hope, Hayden, Harper, Hallie
Zara, Zia, Zofia, Xantha

Other names I think go well with Lily personally:
Amelia, Alannah, Abigail, Charlotte, Erin, Francesca, Georgina, Imogen, Juliette, Matilda, Rosa, Sophia.

Why not a flower name? Rosie goes well - and you do have Hazel in there.

Sophie?

Maddy?

Florence?

My favourite on your list is Hazel, not sure if its too old-lady-ish though. I don't think any of the others go with Lily

I would have loved a Scarlet or a Freya to go with our Lily , we chose Martha , was very hard to find a name me and dp agreed on

toldmywrath · 07/10/2011 22:16

Don't google the lyrics of Ian Dury & the Blockheads (billericay Dickie) because then you would not choose Nina!
