I have five daughters and another due in just under a month. Don't really know how I've managed to have six girls and no boys but anyway. I still don't know what to call my sixth. Here are the names of my other daughters:

Arya Jade (15)
Callie Skye (12)
Cara Jasmine (12)
Sylvia Rose (6)
Lily-May (3)

I want a name that goes with my other daughters' names. We've got a shortlist:

Maya (pronounced Mye-ah)
Summer
Esme (pronounced Esmay)
Leah (pronounced Lee-ah)
Lizzie

Could I get opinions on the shortlist, or other name suggestions? Also help with a middle name?

Personally I would avoid names where pronunciation is potentially confusing. Neither you, nor your child want a lifetime of correcting people.

I would pronounce Maya as May a and Esme as Es me.

Oh but yeah it probably is too close to Lilly. Unless she always goes by Lilly mae in which case you can probably get away with it.

I think you were ahead of your time with some of these names especially anya and Callie! So would be nice to have another unusual name to fit in with them. I love Lizzie Jean.

I think Esme Summer or Maya Summer would be lovely. They’re all nice names though I don’t think you can go wrong!

The only one I would avoid is Lizzie because you have a Lily and they are really close in sound.
