Theme or no theme?

We have an accidental floral theme to the names of our two daughters: Rose and Holly.

We love both names, but do we continue with the "theme" for our third (and final) child or go for something completely different?

Any suggestions greatly received.

I vote different but don't throw away your DREAM name just because it accidentally fits this theme IYSWIM

I wouldn't choose one deliberately but wouldn't be against a name if your heart was set

Depends - if it's Ivy, go for it!

I'd go different to avoid them being too matchy. Something similar in style but not a nature/flower name - Emma, Sophie, Lucy?

I would seriously steer clear of a theme with names. Rose, Holly and Lily/Willow/Daisy etc would sound very, very twee and a tad ridiculous. I'd go for something quite different if I were you.

I think it depends on the name
