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.

Sybil. That's so unusual and sweet with Stanley

I love Olive. My niece is Olivia, but for some strange reason, I've always called her Olive.
Love pp's suggestion of Alma, though.

I was thinking, ‘Olive’ before I opened your post! It goes beautifully.

Sssloou · 01/04/2021 19:18

You can’t do Olive with Stan otherwise you will have Laurel and Hardy .....

WalkingAfterMidnight · 01/04/2021 19:17

Joyce would be lovely with Arthur & Mabel.

I can’t think that would be popular but it is an older name that isn’t being used enough!

beela · 01/04/2021 19:16

Iris.

What about Polly?
