Sister for Eliza

39 replies

We need to come up with a name for the little sister of Eliza Rose (due early 2017).

We like names that are familiar but not overly common, which is how we ended up with Eliza (shorted to Lize or Ellie) and I'd like something equally "punchy" yet girly and vowel heavy; so we're finding it hard to come up with baby number two's name.

So far on our shortlist are:
Amelia (not exactly uncommon)
Matilda (ditto)
Imogen
Lara
Violet (DH not a fan)
Emilia (too similar?)
Emily (two E names)

We can't use any Bel/Belle ending names due to surname. Other names off limits include:
Ruby
Hazel
Zara
Zadie
Florence
Any K names

Middle name is not yet decided, Grace and Kate are current front runners. Mae is off limits too.

Our surname is two syllables and beings with a K.

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions ladies!

I know twins called Eliza and Jemima and they're cute as a button!
