Sister for William and Flora

DD2 due in a few weeks and struggling to find a name I love. Surname ends -ee-ee, so trying to avoid -ee ending names, though I do love Peigi (pronounced Peggy, Scottish spelling)

Current front runners
Greta (get that it’s a marmite name, much like Flora I suspect)
Clara

Thoughts appreciated! Thanks

Hugely biased towards Greta, as we have one - agree it’s definitely a marmite name but the response we’ve had (in public anyway) has been overwhelmingly positive. Clara is lovely too, but perhaps a bit too similar sounding to Flora, and it’s increasingly popular where I am (I know 3 under 3).

Most of the other names we considered have already been listed, so apologies for duplicates:

Rosa
Anya
Honor
Juliet
Vita
Rowan
Nancy
Cleo
Alice
Iris
Helena

Would have added Clover too, as I love it, but belatedly got the connection with Flora! Blush

William and Flora are lovely and go nicely together. Clara is nice but too similar to Flora. I don't like Greta, it's too harsh compared to the other two.

William, Flora and Evelyn?

workshyfop · 08/11/2020 11:50

Harriet was my immediate thought.
Anna or Rowena would be lovely too.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 08/11/2020 11:34

Clover?
Olivio?

Flymetothestars · 08/11/2020 11:28

Greta is perfect

Fromthebirdsnest · 08/11/2020 11:14

Alice is lovely so is kitty or Polly , Romily , Margot, Lucy , Eleanor (nelly) love Clara but way too close to flora x

Martha or Mabel sound sweet and fit well.

WellWeAreFuckedNow · 07/11/2020 22:32

Clara is fine 🧐 it's far different than Flora

ProudAuntie76 · 07/11/2020 22:31

@timothytoeseatenbyaghoul

Clover
I really hope that’s a joke...
timothytoeseatenbyaghoul · 07/11/2020 22:29

Clover

katy1213 · 07/11/2020 22:18

Caitriona or Elspeth.

SadWife2020 · 07/11/2020 22:15

Agree William and Flora have a sweet slightly old fashioned vibe, early 20th century. How about Martha? Elsie?

Penny21xxx · 07/11/2020 22:13

Peggy is cute! How about Delilah or Nina!

Lobsterquadrille2 · 07/11/2020 22:11

Charlotte or Marina.

Irre247 · 07/11/2020 22:02

Evelyn

MyCatReallyIsAGit · 07/11/2020 21:54

First thought was Rosa, followed by Astrid. Greta would go very well though!

WaxOnFeckOff · 07/11/2020 21:51

prefer Greta, not a fan of Peigi at all

Marsali?
Ailsa
Lorna

Redsparklybucket · 07/11/2020 21:47

I have one of those and the girls names we also considered were
Beatrice
Erraid (erray)
Heidi
Cecily
Stephanie
Margot
Nora
Morag
Laurie

sleepingfox · 07/11/2020 21:39

My first thoughts were Charlotte, Harriet and Lydia.

GoodbyeToCare · 07/11/2020 21:32

Eilidh is a lovely name that goes well with William and Flora.
