Sibling for Ivy

Hi!

Can anyone give me some inspiration? Male and female?

It took us forever to agree on Ivy, I dread to think how long it will take us to agree on another name!

Thank you!!!

I wouldn't worry about having a name that matches. It's cute whilst they are little in a Charlie and Lola or Tilly, Tommy and Tiny kind of way, but as they grow and become independent you don't necessarily want them to be a matching pair. Have a few names of each sex you like, particularly names that mean something to you, and see what suits your baby when they are born. Remember not to be influenced by family members- naming the baby is for you and your DH/P, it isn't democratic! I went for family names and spent time looking at the name meanings.

I have an Ettie and am thinking of Ivy for my next one

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 12/11/2020 23:35

I like Ivy with Ada - both vintage but currently popular, short and sweet.
Boys are harder but I agree with pp that Arthur would work well (again vintage but popular).
