A sister for Rachel and Hannah

[CloudAtlas81]

So.....we have lots of boys names we love but appear to have run out of inspiration for girls.

As we love Rachel and Hannah (she was nearly Anna)......what others might we like??

Katie

Leah

Lois, Miriam, Elizabeth - all bible names like yours.

Sophie, Emma, Lucy, Laura, Alexandra, Emily

Lucy
Alice
Sophie
Olivia
Elie
Abbey

Bethany

Rebecca

Hmmm. Hadn't thought of the Friends connection.

That's a shame!!! I thought we might have hit on the right one then.

Really appreciating all the suggestions, going to go through them with DH later.

Olivia was our original choice but a cousin recently used it. One of those things! Took a while to explain to DH why we couldn't also use it. Geographically close cousins as well. . . although in desperation I think I've started to convince myself it would be ok. Don't worry, I know deep down it wouldn't be!

If Hannah were Monica I might think twice but if you are keen on Phoebe, why not.

oh the Friends connection - my children are of that generation, so many Joeys, Phoebies and Rosses. I used one of these myself without even realising!

You can use Olivia.

It's been at the top of the charts or thereabouts for a while. It's not like it's a rare name. If you love it, use it.

Fiona, if you decide against Phoebe?

Rachel and Hannah are my favourite girls names (would be interested in what you would opt for a boy...). Next would be something around Rebecca, Catherine, Sarah and Elizabeth.

Naomi
Abigail
Emma
Jane
Ellen
Sophie

I immediately thought Chloe.

Naomi or Susie

Esther

Abigail

Naomi

Ruth, only it gives two with the same initial.

Sarah

Rebekah, Esther, Ruth, Lydia. All biblical. Or wildcard bible name Delilah

Isobel
Nicole
Megan
Eliza.

My first thought was Miriam.

How about Madeleine?

Or:
Daphne
Eden
Vita
Joy
Gabrielle
Cecelia
Louisa
Theodora
Esme

Rachel and Hannah are "timeless biblical" names and IMO you need to stay in the same mode for your third DD. Avoid names that have surged in popularity due to TV shows, like Phoebe!

Sarah is much underused these days but so pretty.

Hi all,

Sorry for quietness. A virus ran through the whole family this week.

Phoebe is ruled out fully now - however we have a late entry with Matilda inspired by Madeleine. Also loving Theodora, Rebecca/Rebekah.

Not sure what the Welsh side of the family would think of Delilah!

What about Olivia? We keep coming back to it. . .

As for boys - we have Samuel, Benjamin, Joseph. They were the easy ones. Haven't changed since no 1. I love Sam for a boy but don't feel it would be right for a girl in our little family, like BohoChic mentions.

i think Rebecca fits best with the other two Old Testament names you already have (especially as your boy choices are all OT too).
