Sister for Rachel

60 replies

Hi just found out our second baby is another little girl! Her sister is Rachel Audrey.

Last time me & DH really struggled to agree on names, I liked loads but Rachel was pretty much the only one he liked 😂

Suggestions welcome - in Ireland so Irish names an option.

Like @Vexxa said, people always mix up Rebecca and Rachel so don't go for those 2. Always, through primary and secondary school, I was so so often called Rachel, and that's without a sister called that!

Bridget?

Or is that too Irish?

LittleLentils · 25/03/2023 17:45

Chloe springs to mind! Love Rachel btw, you don't hear it much for kids these days!

Those suggesting Monica and Phoebe - Phoebe was actually another name I really liked, DH said no because it would make everyone would think of Friends... Hmm I didn't have the heart to point out his logical inconsistency when he went for Rachel 😂

perils of not rtft is you mention the friends connection that’s already been mentioned to death 🤣 apologies

but Rachel and Amy is lovely too 🤣

I've seen a few people suggest Rebecca - can I suggest you don't choose that? From personal experience (I have one of these names) people always mix Rachel and Rebecca up for some reason! So perhaps not ideal for sisters.

There are no Rachel’s! DD is 12 and we have yet to meet another Rachel under 20! Always makes me smile on Mnnwhen people are looking for uncommon names. No-one suggests Rachel.
I’d suggest monica or Phoebe 😊
