Girls name to go with Evan

Hi Ladies,
Found out yesterday we are having a little girl in May! However completely stumped for names, I had a list but nothing seems to appeal since we found out. I really like Fiadh(Irish name pronounced fee-a) but OH against it so that is out now.

Her brother is called Evan so I would like a name that would go with his and be like his as in four letters with two syllables, I kind of do like Leah so maybe in that vein but I suppose any suggestions I am open too, thank you all

I know an Evan with a sister Naeve (that's how they spell it, think your spelling is Niamh?)

Also know an Evan and an Eva (pronounced ehva not eeva, which I think is a bit too similar personally, but they obviously love the name!)

daisydalrymple · 09/01/2016 11:50

But obviously that misses the two syllable four letter requirement Grin

WhyCantIuseTheNameIWant · 09/01/2016 11:51

Anna
Ella
Erin
Cara
Sara
Zara
Isla
Ceri
Zoey (prefer Zoe, but you wanted 4 letters)

Thanks Daisy, yep Niamh is how we would spell it!! Hmm might put this on the maybe list.

Yea Eva is too similar!

The Evan I know has a big sister called Fern. Doesn't quite fit your criteria though

chester Fern is lovely, I am probably too picky with my criteria andI shouldn't be! I am making this so much harder for myself Grin

stiffstink · 12/01/2016 22:30

I would avoid Ellen and Elia as those names that could be shortened to Elle/El and you'd end up with Evan and El (heaven and hell)!
