Me again.... apologies in advance!
Having a wobble over Harper, I have a unisex uncommon name and it has always annoyed me growing up. Summer just doesn't seem to fit with Noah. Hope doesn't really go with the surname and it doesn't feel like "the one".

Older brother Noah. Short surname, 4 letters beginning with B.

Always loved Matilda but now can't use, close family member used and wouldn't feel comfortable using. Wondered whether I could use Tilly/Tillie instead as a given name?

Another name that strikes me as very pretty is Sophia/Sofia?

Then there is Primrose. Heard on "Call the Midwife" and adored the name. Could I use in real life? Or is it too oldy worldy now?

Thank you all :-)

Sophia is nice. Not sure it goes with Noah, though. I like Primrose too. Not Tilly.
Susannah -similar feel to Sophia but it’s biblical like Noah.
Iris- not biblical but goddess of rainbow links with Noah.
Keziah - biblical but not so common.

Primrose is the one you are looking for I believe

I wouldn't use Tilly on its own.

I like Primrose and some nice nn options - Rose/Rosie etc

Sophia is pretty and I like Cora too

Primrose is beautiful

Sophia/Sofia.

It's a beautiful name and the only one of your choices that will work on an adult as well as a child.

Sophia is a lovely name, but I don't think it quite goes with brother Noah. I think with a cousin Matilda, Tilly on its own would still seem a bit odd.

Primrose could work.

OR:
Lydia
Susanna
Charlotte
Chloe

I love Primrose!!
It's my favourite out of the ones you have listed.

Just to add my name is also 4 letter beginning with T. So I'm not sure if that writes off Tilly/Tillie.

Cora is also appealing to be. But not sure if it will go with surname.
