Name for a third daughter!

We don't know whether we're having a boy or a girl but we are fairly settled on a name for a boy.

It took us a few days to agree on a name for dd2 and dh has very few suggestions to contribute 🙈.

Our daughters are Lily and Ava.
What would you name their sister?

From the others I love:
Rose
Grace
Eleanor
Elsie
Kate
Evelyn

Some of the others are lovely too but maybe don't fit quite right with Lily eg Lydia and Pearl (Lily & Pearl sound like a wedding supplier 😂)

So many votes for Grace! My friend has a Grace, but I know she wouldn't mind me using it. Also my lifelong closest friend is also Grace!

@BobbyBrewster I love May, it's so unusual as a first name too. I wanted it for dd2 but somebody said something to put me off.

A one syllable name would sound good with the other sybling names:

Ruth
Anne
Jane
Gail

@BunnyJumps I do love Anne. Lily has Anne for her middle name and a first cousin called Anna.

@Greentulip I have thought very long and hard about Mary. I know some Mary's whose surnames transform it into a really beautiful name, but I think ours does the opposite.

Not too keen on Mabel. Did consider Maisie and Mamie but could not truly embrace them!

@MissSmiley I do think they would be beautiful on Italians, but we are Irish so Sophia feels a bit trendy for here. It IS very popular. I think I would prefer Sophie to Sophia.

@Clapham I'm not very keen on Helen. I think I prefer Ellen or Helena.
