Girls names to go with George and William

We've had a little girl and struggling to find the perfect name. We have two boys already, George and William.

Our short list is :-

Poppy
Ivy
Matilda
Annabelle

Which do you think is best and any other suggestions would be appreciated.

TIA

Poppy or Matilda.

Emma?

Moominsarehippos · 20/03/2013 11:24

Lucy. Is this a Famous Five thing?

cavell · 20/03/2013 11:26

I thought Lucy, too.

Or, from your choices, Matilda. Annabelle at a push.

twolittlemonkeys · 20/03/2013 11:30

Out of your choices I'd go for Matilda. But other traditional girls names would work well with George and William, eg Charlotte, Eleanor, Lucy, Catherine, Emma...

notimefors · 20/03/2013 11:32

I like Poppy. George William and Poppy.

Indith · 20/03/2013 11:33

From your list Matilda. Any traditional names would fit really but does it matter if it doesn't "fit"? Name your dd to suit her not her brothers :).

My boys are William and Arthur. Dd is Margaret but mostly known by the diminutive Daisy (when not called Mouselet).

DaemonPantalaemon · 20/03/2013 11:45

Georgina
Georgia
Georgette
Wilhemina
Willa
Willow
Willette

SMILE:)

I am being facetious, but why do the names have to "fit"? In your place, I would go for a lovely name that I liked. Good luck!

Jojobump1986 · 20/03/2013 11:55

Elizabeth? Victoria? Mary? Anne? Margaret?

LeslieWink1e · 20/03/2013 11:57

Annabel or Juliet go well with William and George
Don't like Poppy, but Penelope would go with William and George and you could use Poppy for short. Just Poppy is not enough beside William and George. I like names to go too. It's not a foolish idea.

LeslieWink1e · 20/03/2013 11:58

lol at suggestion of georgina! EH! George and Georgina! Is your Dad George Foreman?

AThingInYourLife · 20/03/2013 12:01

Julia
Katherine
Alice
Sally
Helena

Gimmeechocolate · 20/03/2013 13:18

Ivy or Matilda - love them both!

hatsybatsy · 20/03/2013 13:23

Annabelle / Annabel is nice

Other possibles

Harriet (slight bias here - but I think it goes well!)
Alice
Phoebe
Molly
Ida

Thumbwitch · 20/03/2013 13:27

oh hatsy! I also thought Harriet and Alice, straight off! Grin

I like Annabelle best of your choices, Rainbow - then Matilda, then Poppy and I don't really like Ivy at all.

AlisonClare · 20/03/2013 13:37

I know someone with a William and George and they have Martha.

rundontwalk · 20/03/2013 18:41

We have very similar taste! We've used one of your boys names (as a middle name) & had dc2 been a boy we would have used the other. As it is,bump is a girl & we are planning to use Matilda (with Grace as a middle name).

So I would (obviously!) say Matilda :)

jojane · 20/03/2013 18:44

Well I have a George and an Alfie and our dd is Matilda. We have a big book called George and Matilda mouse so they obviously go together!!

Matilda

How about Louisa?

bigkidsdidit · 20/03/2013 19:13

Matilda is lovely and would be my choice

congrats :)

HeartsEggsDiamonds · 20/03/2013 19:16

Catherine
Elizabeth

I like all the names on your list - Poppy is very popular ATM I think.

Congrats too!

HappyJustToBe · 20/03/2013 19:16

Charlotte or Emily.

Love Annabelle.

rufusnine · 20/03/2013 19:17

And I thought Clara . . . before I saw your favs . . all ok but Poppy doesn't 'go' with the boys names as well as the others - imo but if you love it go for it

mummanj · 20/03/2013 20:49

Congratulations. I have a Poppy and George. I've noticed that Poppy doesn't go down that well on MN but in real life I get loads of lovely comments about her name and when George was born people said the names went together nicely. :-)

NowPlayingZone · 21/03/2013 07:23

Annabelle.

Also like the suggestion of Harriet.
