Sibling for Olive

27 replies

aroha77 · 23/02/2017 18:14

Just had my 20 week scan and thought it was going to halve our name choices but they couldn't see in between its legs so still don't know the gender!!

I need to find a name to go with my little girl's which is Olive Grace. Nothing that sounds posh or too left field! Bonus points for Welsh or something which could have Joan as a middle name

Our middle name ends in 'er' so names like Isla sound silly

Any ideas?
Thanks!!

In our family we have siblings Olive and Stanley.

Anwen Joan sounds great for a girl and I think Olive and Anwen go nicely together.

Ieuan is a lovely name for a boy and is a Welsh version of John, which honours Joan to an extent.

Good luck! Smile

Lovely suggestions on here, which I can't top.

Of the pp suggestions I'd go with:

Ioan (middle name) -er
Bethan Joan -er

Has anyone suggested Griffin yet? I also love that.
