Elijah's sister?

What would you call Elijah's sister?

And would you steer clear from another E name?

I like Imogen too although it might be very popular atm, not sure?

NameChange30 · 09/09/2017 17:45

Another vote for Norah! Lovely.
It has the same ending as Elijah but I don't think that matters too much.

Personally I would steer clear of Edie or Evie because there seem to be millions of them.

Some other suggestions:
Ada
Adele
Clementine
Elizabeth (Beth or Liz / Lizzie)
Megan
Rose
Sophie
Thea

Olive, Erin and Edith are my favourites.
I wouldn't worry about them both being an E, me, my sister and my mum are (unintentionally) it's never been an issue.

From your list, I love Norah. Norah Anne is beautiful.

Middle name would probably be Anne. Which is a different middle initial to DS. Such a hard job, naming a human.

I really wouldn't worry about them having the same initial. My brother and I do, and it's never been a problem. Give them a different middle initial, though.

Thank you everyone! Lots of great suggestions. Lots to think about.

We don't really have a short list. We had loads of boys names we liked (have found out we're having a girl), but girls names we're finding much harder.

Boys names we really liked are Noah, Jacob, Isaac, Oliver, Tobias(Toby), Lucas, Oscar, Theo, Reuben.

Girls names I seem to be drawn to E names which I didn't want to go down the route of, but maybe that doesn't matter, or names which I don't think I'm brave enough to use.

We like Edith (Edie), Evelyn(Evie,Eve), Nina, Eleanor, or just Norah, Erin, Olive but I'm just not sure about any of them.

I found it really hard to name DS, I didn't love anything and in the end just went with DH. I really want to love a name this time!

Any thoughts OP ?

Elijah and Maeve sprang to mind. No idea why!

I would steer clear of names beginning in E and/or ending in -a, personally.

Although the names don't have to sound perfect together, they will mostly be known just as themselves!

Do you have a shortlist, OP?
