Eli and Aphra? We have other names on our shortlist. But have always loved Beatrix, Daphne and Dorothy but not sure if they "go" with my other dc?

Two things to note....

I'm not looking for opinions on the above names just whether or not you think they fit. Smile

I know some people don't get the concept or importance of sibling names matching, I'm not looking to get into a discussion as to whether this matters or not (it does to me) Wink

ontopofthesunsey I really really wish I could find a biblical girls name that I love (have a list as long as my arm for boys) but I just don't love any other biblical girls names.

Grace? Esther I think is nice @ ontopofthesunset

None of them really as Eli and Aphra are both Old Testament Jewish sounding and the girls' names aren't. If you want a name that fits you would need something like Esther or Rebecca or Leah.

Sarah? Carrie? X

Dorothy is lovely.

100% no possibility of a fourth WinkGrin

Dorothy

Love Beatrix. If DS had been a DD it would have been our choice.

There aren't enough Daphnes in the world either though.

Never met a nice Dorothy Sad

Beatrix

I prefer Beatrix as it has a hard ending - it finishes the trio off quite nicely!

If there is a potential fourth child one day then maybe go with Daphne!

Dorothy or Beatrix. I love Daphne but it sounds quite similar to Aphra so I trip over it if I say it out loud.
