Please help.. We have two boys, Joshua and Jacob and are now expecting a little girl in June. We are stuck for names and can't decide between Jessica or Eden or Evie! Personal preferences?? Smile

I like Jessica the best, and it goes the best, but the three Js puts me off. I’d go for something Old Testament to match.
Jemima
Keziah
Abigail
Rebecca
Susannah

Please read up on Delilah in the Bible. It's often mentioned but she's not someone I'd like to be named after.

I like Jessica. It's a trad name that has stood the test of time. Another biblical name would put you firmly into the religious?Jewish?camp and something trendy like Eden or Evie wouldn't go with your boys' names

Eden.
I do like Jessica but the 3J's would really put me off.
Evie- bit too 'common'.
Freya- I really don't like. Was quite popular a few years back and I'm just not keen.

Jessica - nice but I wouldn’t use as you already have two J names
Evie - your other two have full names not nicknames so I’d keep with that and use Evelyn nn Evie. Popular but lovely.
Eden - really not sure about that one
Freya - like.

I know too many Freyas. Had 4 in the Brownie pack I help run and all in the same school. Same with Evie and Ava, had two each of those, at least we didn't have to learn too many names. There was probably more girls with those names in the school and a new baby I know has just been named Freya.

One of my nieces is an Eden, so I'm probably biased towards that.
Then Evie, then Jessica. But I think all 3 are fine!

What about Penelope (Penny), Lydia or Erica, all names I wish I had had the chance to use. Oh, and Grace.
