So.....we have lots of boys names we love but appear to have run out of inspiration for girls.

As we love Rachel and Hannah (she was nearly Anna)......what others might we like??

Your girls currently have lovely biblical names, so sticking with that:

Rebecca - my top vote!
Ruth - also love this name.
Sarah
Leah
Lydia
Phoebe

Lovely!

I was coming on to suggest Esther or Naomi with your names, but we have a Matilda so clearly I think you have excellent taste anyway. Enjoy her and congratulations!

I immediately thought of Martha when I read your girls names but Esther, Ruth, Miriam and Leah would also fit well - all traditional, biblical, strong yet pretty names IMO.

Sophie? Although if Sarah sounds like a cartoon character that might be too similar.

mathanxiety · 16/10/2015 23:59

Adah or Ada.

MrsCaecilius · 16/10/2015 12:57

Belated thanks MrsTwee - I find the name picking process a tad overwhelming. . . but I do think the ones we've picked are solid and will stand the test of time.

Ah Starky. . . yup very similar issue here. Though have to be honest, am with your DH on Blossom and Clover. Think it might be both of them together, but they sound like they could be the saloon girls upstairs. "well then, alrightly Sir, Blossom and Clover o'there will take care of all your needs . . . ".

Also have form for changing my mind as soon as little one arrives. Both Rachel and Hannah were due to be Natalie and Anna until they arrived!

I do like Leah. . . dotdot but doesn't meld well with surname and I think as there might be three girls having two named after sisters and the middle one not feels a bit 'wrong'. Potentially overthinking now though!
