Brother or sister for Thomas

We're thinking of possible boy and girl names to go with Thomas. We like traditional, particularly biblical, names. We like soft sounds. I love the name Noah but looking for something that's less popular at the moment as we know 3 young Noahs already.

James or Joseph works well with Thomas and both lovely names.

I think Lucy or Grace for a girl although Martha is nice.

I think Samuel and Hannah go well with Thomas.

Matthew or Chloe were my first thoughts

Esther (could use Ettie)
Elsie
Matilda
Mary
Anastasia
Anais

Edited

I like Anaïs so much but doesn't sound nice with our surname sadly

Thanks all. Martha is definitely number one choice for the moment

If you like Ava, then maybe consider classic Eva? I know it was Eve in the Bible but Eva, though popular at moment again, is at least a very classic name - not as trendy as Ava (which is gorgeous but has suddenly become popular in the last 25 years, where as I know of Great - Grandma Eva’s 😁). Plus just like Thomas, Eva is so well used internationally.

I have a Thomas William

I would pick Ben or Joe or Josh

If Tom had been a girl he was going to be called Laura

How about Noa for a girl?

Had toyed with it but it just sounds "boy" to my ears
