A baby sister for Reuben and Gabriel?

[Lucylootwo]

We are having a nightmare trying to agree on a name for our impending arrival,
I have loved Beatrice since the beginning of time, but now we are finally having a girl I'm not so sure, other names I love Violet, Betty, Ivy, Olive but DH isn't so keen. I'd like something that goes with Reuben and Gabriel, unusual but not too 'out there' I love the old lady chic but our surname is Barnes and don't want our little lady sounding like she belongs in Corrie!
Help mumsnetters, desperately seeking inspiration!?!

How about Rebecca?

[Lucylootwo]

I don't actually mind alliterative names, I grew up with one myself, I'm really not sure on any of the biblical names, I think Beatrice is becoming my favourite again! I love Beatty as a shortened version too, my granny had a friend called Beatty who was lovely! Thanks ladies.

[EmmaWoodlouse]

I like Beatrice a lot, but I think Abigail would be my favourite choice to go with those two.

[TreadSoftlyOnMyDreams]

I missed that your surname is Barnes. Not Beatrice Barnes, it's up there with Peter Potter. Sorry.

[PallasCat]

Love Beatrice, and love the nickname Bea/Bee, and LOVE both with your surname. It doesn't sound Corrie, it sounds brilliant!
I refuse to suggest alternative names because nothing will be better than Beatrice.

[Itshouldntmatter]

Love Beatrice but not with a 'b' surname. Also, really don't like Bee (if it is shortened) with your surname. I'd go for a first name with a different first letter.

[Ham69]

Love Beatrice and think it goes beautifully with your boys names.
Also love Harriet, Esther, Tabitha, Polly, Clementine, Dorothy.

[Northernlurker]

I've got a Beatrice. Great name Yes it's a Shakespearean name. I also have a Miranda and a Rosalind. Miranda sounds very nice with your boys' names.

Anna is nice too.

Vivienne

I like alliterative names - beatrice is lovely
Ruth or Naomi were first to spring to mind!

Honor would be good imo.

Any good? Think these work well with your sons' names.
...Love Beatrice too!

[cecilelliott]

Agree with Susanna.

Gorgeous under-used name that goes well with Gabriel and Reuben

Or , going with the Shakespeare theme (think there's a Shakespearean Beatrice?) how about Miranda, Portia or Helena?

[Florrieboo]

My boys have biblical names as well and we strayed off the biblical path for DD's name. I really do like the old testament for boys names, but, didn't find anything I liked much for girls at all.

Her name fits totally fine with her brothers now so don't worry about not going biblical if you decided not to.

The fact that we are total Atheists makes the biblical names even more significant.

[drudgetrudy]

Ruth, Esther, Naomi or Miriam.

[AGnu]

I like Naomi - not overused, not too dated, fits nicely with your other DC's Biblical theme & wouldn't be alliterative with your surname like Beatrice would be.

Or you could stretch the Biblical connection a little & go with Jessica, nn Jessie... Y'know, like the female version of Jesse...?!
