Noah, Jacob and ....

SO..... I don't seem to be finding the ONE girls name I love.
I have a list of names: Bonnie, Chloe, Elsie, Freya, Georgia, Heidi, Isabella, Skye and Sofia. But responses to these names have been variable.

I prefer more popular names and names that are less likely to be shortened.

Please help me to find a name for Noah and Jacob's Sister.

Please pick either:
• 1 or 2 names from my list above if there are any you think would fit perfectly OR
• If you don't think any or those sound nice with Noah and Jacob, please suggest 1 or 2 girls names you think would.

My reason for limiting to 1 or 2 is because I'm trying to narrow down, rather than be overwhelmed by pages of names.

Thank you.

Freya or Isabella.

Noah, Jacob and Esme
Noah, Jacob and Leah

Chloe

Chloe by far. I think it goes best. It’s also biblical, New Testament. It’s a lovely name.

Elsie I dislike and it’s too cutesy alongside full names Noah and Jacob. Isabella is a lovely name, but of a very different Continental style. Freya is Scandinavian, also very different, a bit “dressing-up box” to me, odd to pick without any links to those counties.

Think I've narrowed down to Chloe, Elsie, Freya and Isabella now.
Both Elsie and Isabella still have biblical links alongside Noah and Jacob.

So.....
Noah, Jacob and Chloe
Noah, Jacob and Elsie
Noah, Jacob and Freya
Noah, Jacob and Isabella

Which do you favour and why?

Esther
Matilda

From your list I like Bonnie.

ButterflyOfFreedom · 29/06/2020 12:49

I like most of the names you've mentioned OP, many were on our shortlist. I particularly like Chloe & Freya.
We also had Sophie, Lauren, Anna, Bethan, Mia, Leah and Scarlett.

mummy2myJJ · 29/06/2020 12:44

Elsie and Freya would go nicely!
Agree with a previous poster about the name Eve being lovely😘

sweetnosugar · 29/06/2020 12:22

Elsie and Bonnie are the names I like from your list. Smile

surreymum89 · 29/06/2020 12:14

Noah, Jacob and Elsie

daisypond · 29/06/2020 12:12

They are personal negative associations.
Ah, right. I understand.

@daisypond They are personal negative associations. In my job I meet alot of people and its hard to get over them and use the name.
Eve is a pretty name though. I will add to the list.

I like Eve with your names

daisypond · 29/06/2020 12:07

Nothing negative about Naomi or Sara.
Eve? Can’t be shortened. Popular. Nice. Goes really well.

@daisypond I'm not particularly fond of any biblical girls names and some have negative associations from people with those names.

OP posts:
daisypond · 29/06/2020 11:47

None of them go. Your sons have well known Old Testament/Jewish names and the names you have picked are a very different style. I’d look for something Old Testament for a girl.

Naomi
Sara (as a variant of Sarah)

mrs87 · 29/06/2020 11:35

@VintageGirl89 No that's fair enough, think that one is an acquired taste! My friend has a daughter Eden but also know someone with a son also called it... So you're not wrong!

@mrs87 and @BoobsOnTheMoon I quite like Eden, however I think its a bit unisex for me. I have a unisex name myself and dislike. I think it lacks a femininity showhow. So I don't particularly want to do that to my daughter.

Hannah would work really well actually, as suggested by PPs.

nonicknameseemsavailable · 29/06/2020 11:28

I agree that those seem to sound too modern to go with Noah and Jacob. I also agree Hannah goes really well and whilst I hadn't really thought about using it myself I do like it and I think it is really quite underused for no real reason. Elizabeth might work.

Rainbowqueeen · 29/06/2020 11:28

Rachel Hannah or anna would be my pick

Iggii · 29/06/2020 11:24

Anna. Biblical and not likely to be shortened.

FlashesOfRage · 29/06/2020 11:23

From your list Georgia and Sofia (Much prefer Sophia tho) are the best to go with Noah and Jacob.

My own suggestions for you would be Jemima and Gabrielle

CharlottedeGaulle · 29/06/2020 11:22

I agree with a PP I think a Biblical/Hebrew themed name works best. Abigail, Rebecca, Rachel, Hannah or even Keziah?

Namechangeymcnamechange11 · 29/06/2020 11:20

Jacob, Noah and Hannah.
Jacob, Noah and Sarah.
