Beatrix, Daphne or Dorothy, which, if any go best with...

[JanuaryJuniper]

Eli and Aphra? We have other names on our shortlist. But have always loved Beatrix, Daphne and Dorothy but not sure if they "go" with my other dc?

Two things to note....

I'm not looking for opinions on the above names just whether or not you think they fit.

I know some people don't get the concept or importance of sibling names matching, I'm not looking to get into a discussion as to whether this matters or not (it does to me)

Dorothy or Beatrix. I love Daphne but it sounds quite similar to Aphra so I trip over it if I say it out loud.

I prefer Beatrix as it has a hard ending - it finishes the trio off quite nicely!

If there is a potential fourth child one day then maybe go with Daphne!

Beatrix

Love Beatrix. If DS had been a DD it would have been our choice.

There aren't enough Daphnes in the world either though.

Never met a nice Dorothy

Dorothy

Esme or Skye/skylar is nice x

100% no possibility of a fourth

Dorothy is lovely.

Sarah? Carrie? X

None of them really as Eli and Aphra are both Old Testament Jewish sounding and the girls' names aren't. If you want a name that fits you would need something like Esther or Rebecca or Leah.

Grace? Esther I think is nice @ ontopofthesunset

ontopofthesunsey I really really wish I could find a biblical girls name that I love (have a list as long as my arm for boys) but I just don't love any other biblical girls names.

Beatrix - was on my shortlist :)

Beatrix for the same reason Brioche gave.

My phone wanted me to type Beatriz. That's also good.

I don't think they do go very well with your other names OP.
That's not to say that I don't like them.
I would go with Daphne.
Delphine (Delphie).

I think Dorothy sounds nice with Eli and Aphra.

Beatrix is the best fit I think.

Of the three I'd pick Beatrix as the best fit with the others. Daphne is my favourite, but for me the 'aph' sound makes it too similar to Aphra.

Do you ever feel that you are overthinking something...well I am definitely overthinking this.

It will definitely be our last dc I have lovely options for boys but just can't find anything that is just right for girls so I'm leaving no stone unturned!

I think Beatrix would be my favourite out of those particular three. I understand that it's not Hebrew like my dc but at this stage I will have to get something that in some way goes without being biblical.

I think your children have great names, but I'm not sold on your suggestions

Beatrix is nice but i just hear Beer Tricks

It does 'go' best

Can I suggest:

Leah
Rebekah/Rebecca
Phaedra
Joy

Daphne :) it sounds softer than Beatrix and has less syllables than Dorothy. Which is why it fits in better with Eli and Aphra imo...

I like Dorothy and Beatrix as well. But I don't really think they go with your other names. However, I personally don't think it matters all that much. I mean, they're all individuals, I don't think their names have to "go" with each other...

What about these:
Aliza
Dana
Elah
Nahal
Ziva
Yael
Lior
Liora
Ori
Tova
Rivka
Riva
Eden
Rina
Orli/Orly
Lior
Liora

I love Beatrix

Beatrix.

The others are more middle class, 1930s names - something you expect in an Elizabeth Jane Howard novel maybe.

Beatrix to me has the same edge as your other names.

(I know you didn't ask but I really don't like Dorothy tbh. Dorothea is so much better.)

I love Daphne, but I think Beatrix goes best with your other names, followed by Dorothy.

Pallisers

I agree

NN Thea is nice, and would go with other names
