Sister for Mabel & Stanley

Hi all, recommendations welcome to name baby girl who is a twin to Stanley and has older sister Mabel.

Our shortlist so far is :
Olive
Iris
Sybil (family name)
Alba

As you can tell we lean more towards the older style names!

I love Florence and Violet but feel both have become super popular.

I like all your proposed names except Alba. How about Judith?

Alba is a lovely name, but I wouldn’t use it right now. Unless you’re a big fan of Alex Salmond?

I have a Mabel and she would have been Stanley if she had been a boy!
I also have an Edith /Edie
Others I liked were Constance and Joan
