What would you call Elijah's sister?

And would you steer clear from another E name?

Thank you everyone! Lots of great suggestions. Lots to think about.

We don't really have a short list. We had loads of boys names we liked (have found out we're having a girl), but girls names we're finding much harder.

Boys names we really liked are Noah, Jacob, Isaac, Oliver, Tobias(Toby), Lucas, Oscar, Theo, Reuben.

Girls names I seem to be drawn to E names which I didn't want to go down the route of, but maybe that doesn't matter, or names which I don't think I'm brave enough to use.

We like Edith (Edie), Evelyn(Evie,Eve), Nina, Eleanor, or just Norah, Erin, Olive but I'm just not sure about any of them.

I found it really hard to name DS, I didn't love anything and in the end just went with DH. I really want to love a name this time!

I really wouldn't worry about them having the same initial. My brother and I do, and it's never been a problem. Give them a different middle initial, though.

Middle name would probably be Anne. Which is a different middle initial to DS. Such a hard job, naming a human.

From your list, I love Norah. Norah Anne is beautiful.

Mrsknackered · 09/09/2017 17:17

Olive, Erin and Edith are my favourites.
I wouldn't worry about them both being an E, me, my sister and my mum are (unintentionally) it's never been an issue.

Another vote for Norah! Lovely.
It has the same ending as Elijah but I don't think that matters too much.

Personally I would steer clear of Edie or Evie because there seem to be millions of them.

Some other suggestions:
Ada
Adele
Clementine
Elizabeth (Beth or Liz / Lizzie)
Megan
Rose
Sophie
Thea

I like Imogen too although it might be very popular atm, not sure?
