Baby sister for Benjamin

39 replies

Hello!

Currently 35 weeks and expecting a baby girl and we’re pretty stuck on names!
Big brother is Benjamin (or Benji) and we have a two syllable surname.

To give an idea of the sort of names we like…
Names that are “on the list” but we’re still a bit on the fence about are Imogen (unsure if this sounds too much with Benjamin?!), Alice and Sophia.
I love Sienna, Lottie and Ava but husband isn’t keen. He really likes Millie or Hannah..but again I’m not convinced.

Any suggestions would be most gratefully received!

Was thinking Benjamin and Holly go lively together but just realised that's a kids show isn't it 'Ben % Holly' 🙈

Alice goes beautifully. Imogen is much too similar to Benjamin, with lots of repeated sounds.

Hannah also goes really well, but I appreciate you're not keen.

I would definitely go for something classic to match Benjamin, which is why Alice and Hannah go so well. Lottie could work, but only with Charlotte as a full name. Sophie probably matches better than Sophia, it feels more classic.

My first thoughts, before reading your post or and of the replies, were Emily, Sophie or Lucy.

I know of Benjamin and Charlotte siblings so that was my immediate thought.

Also really like Hannah and Alice.

I immediately thought Sophia!

I love Imogen but for sound reasons rather than vibe reasons I wouldn’t pair it up with Benjamin.

Benjamin and Alice are perfect.…further ideas

Benjamin is a popular classic - so similar style names on your list would be Hannah (Biblical like Benjamin so probably quite a common sibset choice) and Alice.

Sienna, Ava, Lottie and Millie are all quite trendy in comparison so personally wouldn’t be my choice with her brothers name.

Sophia is lovely but very very popular (by the time you count the Sophie’s and Sofia’s too).

Imogen does kind of rhyme with Benjamin when spoken - but does that really matter? I don’t think it sounds ridiculous if it’s your favourite - I just find Hannah, Alice or Sophia/Sophie are a slightly better “match” in style to me.

Other similar style names to Benjamin for me (classic and/or Biblical):
Lydia
Abigail
Emily
Charlotte
Anna
Maria
Sarah
Julia
Rebecca
Rachael
Elizabeth
Eleanor
Isabel
