Sister for Astrid and Eliza

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to come on here and get some help with finding a baby name for our little girl due in February.

So, I guess a little bit about us: we already have two daughters Astrid Kate and Eliza Matilde - both named after aspects of our heritage: danish, English, Italian and Portuguese. However, we are a little stuck with DD3!

we were thinking Philippa for a middle name after my mum or Margot after my husband and fathers middle name: Mark.

We love the name June for a first name and also Pippa (however doesn’t really work for the Italian side of the family). Any suggestions would be great appreciated 🙏🏻

The Astrid I know has Juno as her sister and I think that would go lovely with Eliza. Good luck x

Thank you so much! So many great suggestions :) I really like Iris and Lydia - feel like they fit really well!

Any thoughts on June Margot/Philippa?

Agree, Iris sounds lovely with the others.

Zoe?

Oops, not Mathilde!

midsomermurderess · 24/12/2022 21:15

Mathilde or Maja. I really like Lærke, but that might well confound non-Danish speakers.

Susan was the firstname I thought of and I see another poster suggested Susanna.

I think Margot is nice as a first name!

I prefer Juno over June

Luredbyapomegranate · 24/12/2022 10:20

Astrid and Eliza are great names as is Philippa.

Could she be Philippa nn Pippa as a first name (and the Sp rellies could call her by her full name or Pip/Pippin?!)

Philippa Margot is lovely

June is nice, but too odd for a winter baby - Juno works though.

I love Juniper as an alternative to June

MusicstillonMTV · 23/12/2022 12:34

I do like June but I just don't think I could get my head around using it for a February baby (silly reason though).

I have the same reaction

goodknight · 23/12/2022 12:29

June and Lydia make me think of Handmaid’s Tale?

Adultchildofelderlyparents · 23/12/2022 12:28

Ines
Lucia
Sofia

These come to mind for me, trying to think of names that could work for all of your national backgrounds and fit with your other two.
Each of those would sound nice with Philippa or Margot as a second name.

@Deckthehallswithbenandhollly i can’t believe we have such similar heritages!

The first names that came to me were:

Astrid, Eliza and Pia

Astrid, Eliza and Paloma

Astrid, Eliza and Pilar

Maybe they have that Pippa/Philippa feel to them and work in all the languages, pretty much?

Congratulations!
