A sister for Zoe....

Just that really. All ideas welcome as just getting started thinking about it!

Would like to avoid anything very popular (say top 20 names) and I'm not too keen on the grandmother-type names that are becoming popular again (Florence, Ivy, Olive etc) or anything too wild & wacky.

Thanks!

Thanks for the replies so far.

Favourites so far are Lara, Caitlin, Eleanor (though not fussed on Ellie as a likely nn), Emma & Amy.

I adore Isabel but know so many I am really not keen to use it. Hannah and Alana are also lovely but very similar in sound to my niece's name.

Any other suggestions welcome!

Thanks again, some more lovely suggestions.

Sadly my good friend has nicked Xanthe for her 6 month old! Like Megan but our surname ends in "an" as
well so feels a bit odd to say together. Have added Naomi to our list Smile.

broken DH had suggested Alexandra. However my niece's name also starts & ends with "a". They live close by so will be seeing each other lots. Do people think another A---a name might be a bit much or ok? I could see it for twins maybe, otherwise seems a bit too similar to me?

The (child) Zoe I know has a sister called Ellen. I think they are nice together.

The (adult) Zoe I know has sisters Kate and Gemma.
