Hi, I’m needing some help.
I have a daughter who is called Grace and a Son called Jude. I have found out I’m having another Girl. We decided on the name Erin weeks ago.
But then partners sister found out she was pregnant and has now chosen the same name and won’t change even though she is only 8 weeks pregnant.
We did like the name Edith too but I’m just wondering what are people’s thoughts on which name goes better with Grace and Jude.
Erin or Edith?
Or something completely different.
Thank you

I actually think Edith goes better with Grace and Jude, love Edith and shortened version Edie.

@VintageGirl89

If she is only 8 weeks pregnant she wont know the gender of baby and she may have a boy or change her mind on name by then anyway. Stick with the name you like and don't discuss names with anyone!
Thank you for your reply vintagegirl89. I didn't tell her the name we had until she mentioned she had Erin as her girl name. She has the name for a boy and a girl for when she finds out. But I don't want to cause any family drama if her baby is a girl and I name my baby Erin. But because she has told everyone her names at 8 weeks. People are going to think we copied her name as no one else knows ours. Baby names cause so much family stress :/

I think both work with the sibling names.
