Hello!

Baby girl is a week old and we are stuck on names. Must be the sleep deprivation also haha. We already have a 3yo called Wren Silvia and now we can’t decide on:

Sylvie - can we use wren’s middle name 😬
Soline
Matilda
Alma
Ellis

Any thoughts?

I am leaning to Alma Ray Richardson but my mum really doesn’t like Alma although she could just get over that in time :/

Matilda ray is gorgeous.

Wren and Matilda sound nice together.

You could have Fabien or Fabienne.
I don't like Tilda FWIW. It's a brand of rice.

Solange? Better than Soline. Of your options, I'd say Ellis, as the most in keeping with Wren.

Alma is nice. Use it. Matilda is nice but seems very popular.
Not sure about Ray as a middle name as I think of it as a man's name.

True.

I think Matilda is nice and Tilda as short is great. If I’d know I would have another girl I wouldn’t have used Silvia as Weens middle name damn:(

Will see what OH says as he is not so keen and wants the name Fabian:/!

Are you UK based? I'd say Wren is very popular here but Alma is sort of the opposite. The contrast would be too much I think. It sounds woolly and old ladyish but not in a comeback way. On a par with Norma.

What about Ada? Zara? Cara?
Aisla?

What's it got to do with your mum.. She's had her day choosing names.

I quite like Matilda Ray.

Sylvie - too close to Wren’s middle name
Soline - looks like a cheap sun tan lotion name
Matilda - yes
Alma - ok
Ellis - boy's name
