Sister for Edmund - Madeleine, Rosa or Matilda?

[Eversoslowly]

Hello,
I really need some help narrowing down my shortlist. Am a bit stuck at the moment...baby girl due later this summer.

Looking for a name similar in vibe to brother Edmund George... With some strength but also romantic, traditional with a bit quirk yet not overly used.. Too much to ask haha?
Maybe a name that was popular at the same period? Modern names are fine too though. Just gotta find both me and DP love!

Our last name starts with W so I'd like to exclude names starting or ending with V (though I love Olive, Violet and Liv).
Also trying to avoid names with the same initial as her sibling, E.

So far I've got:

Top 3

Matilda
Rosa (family name)
Madeleine

Then:

Louise
Maisie (OH favorite)
Josephine
Margot / Margaux
Tess(a)
Juno (guilty pleasure)

What do you think of these?
Can you think of any others?

Many thanks!

Edmund and Rosa would be lovely, I think. Your top three are all nice, although Matilda's quite popular. Josephine is wonderful, and I like Tess, too. How about Marianne, Caroline, Cora, Della, Leonora, Lydia, Julia, Celeste?

Rosa or Matilda (Tilda?)

I love Rosa Louise as a name, Madeleine and Matilda although pretty are fairly popular!

Dorothea.

It ticks all your boxes with bells on (think Dorothea in Middlemarch) and is a beautiful and underused name.

Susannah
Beatrice
Louisa
Christabel
Genevieve
Constance
Dorothy
Jemima
Cecily
Alice
Martha
Juliet
Adelaide
Clara
Helena
Maude
Rosalind
Johanna
Agnes
Winifred
Mabel
Lucia
Frances
Mirabelle
Sidonie
Kinborough

Out of your list I like Rosa, Maisie, Tess and Juno - I think I like Juno, I'm never sure!

Rosanna
Marnie
Juliette
Sadie

So nice! I was in fact thinking of Rosa Marie, nn Romy

meant this answer for cathpip ;)

Love all three. But Rosa with Edmund

And I'll eat my hat if the OP uses the suggestion given of Kinborough. Kinborough!

Rosa Margot

Lovely suggestions, thank you all.
Alice was supposed to be on this list too! Forgot to add it. DP not super fond of it though :(
Dorothea, I quite like it! A bit long perhaps but cute nn possibilities
Maude, love it but too similar to Edmund
Have a totaly sweet spot for Marnie too :) was on the long list
Juliet(t) - yes

Oh yes - Edmund and Rosa! Perfect.

Rosa is gorgeous - also love Rosanna. Not so keen on Madeleine and Matilda - Matilda in particular is very popular at the moment. Like Tess/Tessa and Juno, although I wouldn't say Juno was romantic - more quirky and slightly 'hipsterish'. Not sure Maisie fits with Edmund - it's not quite as strong-sounding - and Louise seems a bit plain compared to some of the others.

Celia
Marianne
Meredith
Daphne
Helena
Clementine
Marina
Miranda
Zita
Penelope
Serena

Edmund George is a great name by the way!

Really like Alice too - one of the few 'classic' names I never find dull. Still prefer Rosa though.

@reuset, ahaha you won't have to eat your hat for sure :D
@TempsPerdue, DP in fact thinks Alice is too common so it's good to hear from others thinking more like me ;-)

I read a lot that Matilda is pretty popular but it's 'only' 36th place on the last statistics.. Unless there was a huge surge last year?

Henrietta

Madeleine Tess is gorgeous... or Madeleine Rosa

Rosa is lovely, so is Juno. What about Louisa?

Matilda is fab, has the same "old world" feel as Edmund albeit both are fairly middle/upper class, gorgeous names. Also like Olive, I don't think Maisie sounds as strong with Edmund, a tiny bit cutsie

Tessa or Margot I love!

Rosalind
Wilhelmina
Ottilie
Ursula
Anthea
Henrietta
Julia
Romilly
Beatrice

Sorry, I forgot to say that I like all of your listed options except Juno. My favourites are Josephine and Rosa.

Your top three would all go really well with Edmund , so you can't go wrong . If pushed I would say go for Rosa. Unlike Rosie it's not half as popular and is a lovely, strong ( and romantic !) name. If it's a family name all the more reason to go for it :)

Madeleine sounds lovely with Edmund but since Rosa is a family name I would go with that
