Recently found out we are expecting our third baby girl. Our two girls are called Alice and May.

We have a list but none we can really use!!

  • Emily
  • Isabel (we could use this)
  • Eve
  • Lucy (DH less a fan)
  • Lydia
  • Emma

Does anyone have any other name suggestions we might like?

Isabel is nice but she’ll be driven mad by the spelling variations!

I feel like Emmie would be good too - just something a bit different.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 04/03/2024 21:38

Isabel
Emma
Lily
(big gap)
Violet
Daisy

In that order. Isabel is not as popular as it used to be and is pretty, classic, yet elegant. I’ve never been a huge fan of Emma for some reason but I’ve got to agree it’s very classic and simple and so works well with the sisters names too.

Lily has such as pretty sound (it’s only not higher in the list as both May and Lily are floral names so maybe Alice is a bit odd one out) and feels more classic to me than Violet and Daisy. Violet sounds a bit harsh and Daisy is quite cutesy/pet name to me.

I really like 'Harriet'. There was a really beautiful girl singer in an indie band when I was young called that. Classic but also quite unusual.

KitKat1985 · 04/03/2024 21:16

Daisy.

Tatonka · 04/03/2024 21:08

From your list I think Emma

But I really love Lucy and Sophie too (so please have another two girls, thanks!).

Bunnie007 · 04/03/2024 21:01

As with PP my immediate thought was Beatrice

DrJoanAllenby · 04/03/2024 20:59

Ruby.

From your list

Daisy
Isobel
Lily

(In that order)

MsMarple · 04/03/2024 20:23

I think you need 3 syllables (just sounds right!) and Violet would be lovely!

kenadams86 · 04/03/2024 20:22

My first thought was Charlotte.

I really like Lucy too.

Florence
Layla
Ava
Harriet
Mabel

Thank you all we have discussed it more tonight and decided our short list is

Alice, May and Emma
Alice, May and Daisy
Alice, May and Isabel
Alice, May and Violet
Alice, May and Lily

Anyone have any thoughts or preferences on these?

I think we have similar tastes! I have an Alice and a Lucy!

Emma is one of my all time favourite names and it was between Emma and Lucy for our second girl, we just decided she looked more like a Lucy when she was born.

My second favourite from your shortlist is Lily, it sounds great with your sibling names and has the same simple, pretty sound, and works for all ages.

Isabel is lovely but too overused around where we live (when you include all the spelling variations).

Violet is nice and refreshing sounding, and I think works better for all ages than Daisy (which I’m not sure I could carry off personally as an adult!)

Ihavenoclu · 04/03/2024 20:18

I thought Rose straight away

JustMaggie · 04/03/2024 20:17

I like Alice, May and Isabel. Also, Alice, May, and Rose.

SummerOf46 · 04/03/2024 20:17

Alice, May and Gemma, Phoebe, Katie, Jasmin, Eleanor (Ella), Hallie

FuglySweaty · 04/03/2024 20:13

@Kolie definitely Emma from the shortlist! It sounds really lovely alongside the other names. (Think Daisy and May sound too samey due to the “ai” sound)
