A sister for Edith

[ItsNotATicklingCompetition]

DD2 is due in December and DH and I can't find a name we both agree on which goes with Edith....

We would like a name like Edith i.e. more old fashioned and not really popular but not something really out-there like Myrtle or Gertrude!

Surname is an awkward one and discounts anything with an 'L' or 'R' sound in the middle or at the end of the name and anything ending in 'N'! Surname is also a noun so names like 'Iona' sound like 'I own a...' when said with our surname...

I love names like Elizabeth, Catherine and Charlotte but these are either incredibly popular or don't go with our surname....so, wise folks - what names can you suggest which meet these criteria??

TIA!

If you like Elodie but want to avoid x2 E names what about Melody?

Or
Avalie
Nadia

Honor
Violet
Marguerite
Greta
Sylvie

How about Alma?

I wouldn't go Edith and Agnes unless you want the associated of Despicable Me. (Edith, Agnes and Margo are the girls in it)

Love Sylvie btw. That would go beautifully with Edith imho. So would Klara/Clara

Hester
Gwen
Megan
Flora
Phyllis
Darcy
Fleur
Claude
Amy
Jemima
Justine
Frances (Fran, Frankie)

Louisa
Victoria

Margot
Ingrid

Oh, I was about to say Agnes as we know an Edith with little sister Agnes. But then I saw the Despicable Me reference! Mind you, we have neighbours who have Simon, Albin & Theo. Makes me think of the Chipmunks every time

Odette - French old lady name

Mary is the first name that springs to my mind

Haha slender sorry I realised after posting what you meant but I didn't have time to come back!

Ooh, I love Ingrid, Sylvie and Odette...and Clara actually. What about Claudia?

np cloud :o

I think everyone is forgetting the specific criteria here and now just firing in any old lady-ish type names - this one is just too hard :(

That discounts 90% of what we have all come up with :(

Right, then we need to know the surname!

Only kidding op...but I do sympathise...we have a surname that is really difficult to match names to too!

Rosamund
Daphne
Cecelia
Sybill (if it's not too Downton with Edith)
Ursula
Esther
Lucia (pronouned Loo-chee-a)
Ramona
Paloma
Evangeline
Clematine

sorry I meant Clementine

Edith & Judy
Edith & Joyce
Edith & Janet
Edith & Thelma
Edith & Vilma

Agnes
Margot

Mary
Sybil

Jane

Dinah

Joy
Deanna
Faye
Rose
Rita

Agatha
Heidi
Kate
Betsy

We have an Edith! I love the name

It wasn't really chosen to go with my eldest dds name as they were born 7 years apart.

But if I was choosing to go with Edith I really like Ida or Alice

ninette or nanette or nancy

It's got to be Ethel.
