Please help!
Our criteria...

Not overly keen on siblings with the same initial.

Needs to have lots of nickname options. Tabitha gets Taba Tatty Tats. Saskia gets Kiki or Sass.

Like the idea of this one also having a longish name.

Like them to be timeless. Not dating.

Current ones in the mix but not fully doing it for me...
Aurelia, Jemima, Aurora, Juniper, Elodie, Hermione, Indira (although people have said this doesn’t work on a probably blonde white British person! - we like Indie but not keen on India and don’t think Indigo or Indiana go with T and S)

Love Sadie, Blossom, Wren, Xanthe, Bonnie but they’re not in keeping....!!

I don't see why Xanthe doesn't go... I agree that the others don't.

Jemima and Matilda are spot on in terms of matching the others for style.

Imogen maybe?
Eliza?

I love your names! Xanthe is beautiful but it might be a bit of a mouthful when said next to Saskia.

I like Penelope, Jemima, Imogen, Evangeline, Clementine, Daphne, Serena, Francesca, Sienna, Cecelia, Erica, Cordelia.

Abigail is a good one.

flumpybear · 12/01/2018 05:27

Wow - how strange, I have a Tabitha abs saskia was on our list, along with Sadie and I liked Xanthe but husband wasn't keen

We also had Araminta (nn Minnie, Minty)
Remy ... we were trying to decide a longer name and use that as a nn
Imogen
Vivica
We liked Morgan and Morgana before Morgan became a bit trendy back in the late 1990's (but this was 10 years before we settled down and had kids)
I quite liked Dascher but my husband said it sounded more like a pets name

Good luck choosing!
