Definitely Lucy from your list.

Eliza is lovely.

Whatsyourflava · 03/04/2020 18:44

Lucy is SUCH a lovely name @Northern12345
So underused and definitely my favourite from your list

Or Stella

IckleBear · 03/04/2020 18:37

Eliza are Lucy are nice together.
Eliza and Phoebe
Eliza and Scarlett
Eliza and Freya
Eliza and Violet
Eliza and Maeve

SE13Mummy · 03/04/2020 00:48

I think Lucy goes brilliantly with Eliza.

Other names I think would work:
Anna
Alice
Beatrice
Betsy
Mary
Margot
Florence
Felicity
Phoebe
Penelope (could be Penny or Nell)
Clara
Harriet
Ruby
Sally (although possibly not with Scout as a middle name)
Verity

Krazynights34 · 03/04/2020 00:35

Alexandra? (Rather than Alexis - that still sounds like Alexa)
Alice is sweet.

Other suggestions..
Amy
Avril
Imelda
Amanda
Alicia
Elise
Lisette
Audrey
Aurora
Ariadne

Other suggestions nothing like the names you’ve mentioned but I think in the same mode

Felicity
Flora
Hester
Andrea
Lucinda
Madeleine
Melody
Francine
Joy

I thought of Lucy before I opened the thread and saw the list.

crazyquadmum · 03/04/2020 00:16

I have a DD called Eliza. I think all three of your choices are nice and go well. I would go for Lucy

Thanks everyone :-)
We do really like Alexa but that amazon device has ruined it for us which is why we were considering Alexis.
Lucy is the front runner for now... we are thinking Scout for a middle name whatever the first name is

I prefer Lucy of the three but it seems a bit bland next to Eliza. A few thoughts:
Josephine
Ciara
Clara
Stella
Genevieve (could use nn Jenna)
Alexandra if you like the Alex bit? I'm not keen on Alexis I'm afraid, agree with PP that it's a bit dated.

Congratulations and good luck!

Whatsyourflava · 01/04/2020 16:20

Lucy is lovely. Have we helped @Northern12345

Jj2431 · 01/04/2020 15:03

Lucy is lovely.

Jenna is okay

Alexis no

student26 · 31/03/2020 23:34

I have an Eliza (short for Elizabeth) and if I had another daughter she would be named Kathryn or Katherine, short name Kitty.

PrincessLouis · 31/03/2020 23:31

Lucy of your three

Like Nina suggested above, or the old but new ideas like Martha

Anna?

Reythemamajedi · 31/03/2020 23:25

Ruth
Beatrice
Alicia

123Dancewithme · 31/03/2020 23:24

Lucy from the three you listed.

How about Martha?

LotusClover · 31/03/2020 18:09

I agree with @emmathedilemma, an older name that still sounds somewhat modern would be best. Some more ideas:

Adela
Carina
Clara
Kate
Maria
Rosalie

Windyatthebeach · 31/03/2020 18:01

Eliza and Etta

tryingtoconcieve1 · 31/03/2020 13:05

Don’t like any of the ones on the list sorry
What about
Eliza and Martha
Eliza and Charlotte
Eliza and Penelope
Eliza and Juno
Eliza and Thea

emmathedilemma · 31/03/2020 13:01

Lucy works well.
I don't think Jenna or Alexis are the sort of names that really go with Eliza. Jenna is very 1980's to me. I think you need a name that's modern but older (if that makes sense) i.e. one of those old fashioned names having a bit of a revival....
Martha
Cora
Alice
Matilda
Florence

Flymetothestars · 31/03/2020 12:40

I adore the name Lucy

Other suggestions

Marnie
Sadie
Imogen
Holly

Pinkypink · 31/03/2020 12:28

Lucy would be my first choice.
Also like Jenna -only put off by the thought of people mishearing it as Gemma.
Don't like Alexis at all. Seems dated.
A pp suggested Cora, that sounds great with Eliza

Astronica · 31/03/2020 11:03

I like Lucy best from your list with sister Eliza. I really like Alexis but would aim to get different sounds - seems rather samey with Eliza considering there are thousands of names out there. Jenna is okay.

Annabel
Verity
Georgina
Jemima
Imogen
Lucia
Melody
Frances
Florence
Caroline
Juliet
Beatrix
Harriet
Celeste

Maverick66 · 31/03/2020 10:48

Matilda ( Tilly)
