Sister name for Elliot & Arthur

No E or A names
Scottish nod (both Elliot & Arthur are also clan names)
Needs to be a saint name
Agnes for a middle name

Morag? No idea if it's a Saint name, thought. I like Caitlin and Catherine.

Don’t like Morag or Caitlin .. Catherine is lovely but a family name

Hannah immediately came to mind to me, it's a Saint but not Scottish particularly.

I love the name Mhairi

I love Catriona with Elliot and Arthur

Catriona is lovely- know 2, one goes by Cat and the other by her full name. Would be odd for me to use. But this is a perfect fit.

We don’t fancy most Gaelic names but Mhairi is lovely .. my sister in law is Mhairi-Claire though

How about Georgia of Thea? Saints but not Scottish...

Margaret is a bit blah on its own but Maggie is adorable, or Margot - that’s Scottish and saintly!

Marianne?

ReggieKrait · 01/02/2021 22:33

Clare - totally due a comeback!
Maria

Have a cousin Georgia- love that name

SIL Marianne ... perhaps could do a double barrelled Mary name? Mary Agnes or Mary Jane?

Like Hazel but don’t love it. Same with Olive.

Margo? Maud? no idea about the saint connection though. I think Margo ( with or without the t ) is much nicer than Maggie

what about Fleur? nearly Flora, without the buttery connection.

ReggieKrait · 01/02/2021 22:38

Georgina? NN Gina?

Redsparklybucket · 01/02/2021 22:40

Just go for Flora, I’ve got one she’s fab! Am sure DH will get over the margarine thoughts when he meets her!

LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow · 01/02/2021 22:41

or Grace...Grace Darling! DD was nearly Imogen but every girl child got that the year before she was born, and we went with something else. Five years on every other girlchild was a version ...eve, evie, eva, ava, BAH!

Ahhh - I clicked on this to say Beatrice
