Alma makes me think strong, independent, and not too floral or overtly ‘girly’.

I think if you go for another 2 syllable name ending in ah, you want something a bit softer sounding than Alma, like Esther, so it’s not too matchy matchy - I like Cora and Clara but think they fall into that.

I second Cora and Iris, they ‘go’ the best with the others IMO. I’m not a massive fan of matchy sibling names but since the first two go together so nicely I’d go for another short and classic name.

Eliza
Maeve - May
Jemima - Mim / Jem
Felicity - Flick / Fliss

Personally I wouldn't go for another two syllable as it will break it up a bit to have a one or 3+ syllable name in the mix, though if you don't mind that I also love Georgia

FreedomandPeace · 02/02/2025 17:06

I think a lot won’t be able to resist saying Marta
