Ivy's little brother and sister

Morning all!
My daughter is called Ivy. I adore the name - to me it's sweet and girlie yet also sassy and not common these days, but is a REAL old school name. I'm struggling to find any names that I like as much for a potential brother or sister. I'd welcome any suggestions! For girls I like Pippa/Pip and Martha, for a boy I'm not sure. I like Rafferty/Raffy but wouldn't use it. Any other suggestions?

Thanks Fixture, I love Emily but can't use it.

ThePieSmuggler are you sure you're not me? My Ivy is also 16 weeks old! Boys names I love are Oscar (but quite popular) and Ned (not Edward).

Not yet puddle2 - my Ivy's only 16 weeks old!! (and yes I know I'm being very premature considering sibling namesGrin)
Once Ivy was suggested as a name, nothing else came close, I do like Nell though, and Jemima was on our list too.
Boys names were much harder, we wanted something that was a 'proper name', traditional but unusual, and to be honest we never found one that we absolutely loved! I'm sure if there's a name that fits out there MNetters will find it!

Thank you MM. Olive and Mabel were on my list when I had Ivy. As was Matilda. I also love Nell but OH isn't keen. While I like lots of the boys names you suggested they just aren't special enough to me.

TPS Hello fellow Ivy owner! Fab name isn't it. Do you have any other children?

Just marking my place as I too have an Ivy and could have written the OP myself! Grin
