A sibling for Caitlin May

Hi all!

Any suggestions for a sibling for my little girl, Caitlin May? Other options when we picked Caitlin's name were:

Luke (not convinced)
Patrick (OH not convinced)

Pippa
Rose
Naomi
Mia (love love love, but too popular?)
Beth

To put it in context, OH's family are English, mine are Irish. I'm much more into choosing girls' names, so am convinced fate will bring us a boy! I need inspiration!

May is the middle name, to clarify, not all a first name.

I love Rose, it's my Los Middle name but love for 1st name too.
Also love Mia, don't think it's too popular.
How about for girls...
Freya
Holly
Beatrice, might get shortened to Bea though
Sophie
Matilda
Mabel
Florence, old fashioned names are making a comeback, so I've heard...

Boys, I like...
Alex
William, Will or Billy
Adam
Tom
James

I've just looked on an Irish names website
babynames.net/all/irish?page=2

I like Brianna for girl, Rowan for a boy.
How about the name Kiana, pronounced key ar na? I think if I had a daughter is call her that.

Help that helps!

Thank you so much! That really helps! I'm glad you like Mia. I love Rose, Billy and James!

If you like Rose, how about Roisin or Rois? If you like Irish girls names Aifric, Riona, Muireann, Cara, Clodagh, Laoise, Niamh, Aoife, Orla are all lovely too imo.

Non Irish girls names: Lois, Violet, Heidi, Clara

I teach and have run into quite a few Mias out there! I think Naomi is lovely, not as keen on Beth or Pippa though.

If not Luke, how about Lucas? And I really like Patrick.
Suggestions: Eric, Michael, John, Jared, Thomas, Liam, Donnchadh, Christian, Niall, Oren, Oisin
