Baby sister for Benjamin

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!

Imogen - will be Immy
Alice - like it a lot
Sophia - overused
Sienna - don't like it
Lottie - ok if short for Charlotte
Ava - dislike it
Millie - not keen
Hannah - like it

I thought Alice before I even fully read your post. It goes nicely. My other suggestions are:

Louisa
Elizabeth / Libby
Freya

Hannah is my favourite of your choices. Ava is probably second but it’s much more popular and I don’t think it works that well with Benjamin (which I love). Lottie would be nice as a nickname for Charlotte. I don’t like Millie, and I really don’t like Sienna.

How about Anna, Alice or Elizabeth (Libby)?

Alice is lovely

Benjamin and Jemima is very cute!

Maybe too similar?

Ben and Jem ❤

I know one with a little sister called Felicity which I think is a great combination

Weirdly before I read your post I thought ‘Hannah’ and so was happy to see this was on your husband’s list. Benjamin and Hannah go really well together. Millie is also a very sweet name, although maybe less suited to a woman than Hannah which I can imagine working at all ages.

sienna, Lottie, Ava are all much less classy and much more common now. They’d be one of several in the class whereas Hannah is classic but not so commonly used at the moment.
