Sister for Ingrid?

Open to suggestions, we have a handful of boys names, but none for a girl! No particular theme, but we have a Mc surname so preferably shorter syllables.

I like Romilly but DH says no. He likes Lola but it sounds awful with our surname and I just think 'Charlie And' every time he brings it up.

I have a Romilly but we usually call her Romy (Rom-ee). What about Astrid or Greta they would fit well with Ingrid.

Kitty

The only Ingrid I know (in rl) has a sister named Astrid.
I really like the name Astrid, also Greta and Nina as above.

The only Ingrid I know also has a sister called Astrid, wonder if it's the same one.

Ingrid and Astrid sound too samey to me.
Esther (spelled as the name not the chemical substance as above)
Freya
Nina as suggested is lovely actually in this combination
Eve/a/ie
Katrina (or other spellings)
Helena
Louisa

I think Elva would sound nice with Ingrid

AtomicDog · 09/04/2015 10:32

squoosh perhaps (the ones I know are mid-teens) Smile but I think it's more likely it's a fairly usual combination of names, so there will be others.

AtomicDog · 09/04/2015 10:34

And charlyn any child names Elva at the moment will spend her entire life saying, "No, not Elsa, Elva" poor thing.

I really don't like Astrid. There was an Astrid at my children's school and I once heard the dad calling out to her - "Ass". - Not a nice nickname.

Ds was going to be an Ingrid. His big sister is Audrey - I think Ingrid and Audrey are a lovely combination.
