Expecting DD2, trying to decide between Sienna, Zara and India. Also would appreciate suggestions for middle names! DD1 is Scarlett Grace.

Scarlet and sienna go lovely together

moirabeast · 10/09/2019 15:14

You have great taste... I’d go for Zara x

Atlasta · 10/09/2019 15:16

Agree Scarlett and Sienna 'go' better but I
prefer Zara.

Outnumberedmumof4 · 10/09/2019 15:16

India

Here are the names I like, as it seems we have similar taste. Both Sienna and India are on my list.
-Allegra (see my post it's a bit marmite Grin)

  • Liberty
  • Faith
  • Anastasia
  • Autumn
  • Jasmine
  • Summer
  • Imogen

  • Aria

You might hate all of them but might also help x

Sienna. Love love love!

Treaclebee · 10/09/2019 15:20

I like Sienna best. Sienna Rose?

hippy1952 · 10/09/2019 15:23

India!

WestEndWendie · 10/09/2019 15:24

Zara Jane

Lavenderblues · 10/09/2019 15:29

I'd avoid the same initials

MissHenty · 10/09/2019 15:46

Nah same initials is fine I think. I don’t even get letters from doctors anymore- it’s all online. Phone bill. Bank statements. Imagine what it’ll be like by the time little Sienna and Scarlet start getting post! @Lavenderblues

Just my personal opinion anyway

Igottastartthinkingbee · 10/09/2019 15:51

Zara every time.

GU24Mum · 10/09/2019 16:49

Zara is definitely my favourite though probably "goes" least well.

AverageMummy · 10/09/2019 18:19

Zara
@MissHenty my kids don’t get post but spelling & initials are such a huge thing when they’re small that they were shocked I even considered a name with the same initial !

MissHenty · 10/09/2019 18:40

2 of my sibling have same initial. Hand on heart it’s never even been mentioned

sue51 · 10/09/2019 18:42

Zara

Pixilicious · 10/09/2019 18:43

Zara

Thanks everyone! I’m leaning towards Sienna, I think it goes best with Scarlett too. Hadn’t really thought about the same initials I guess as a previous poster said not much comes through the post nowadays, so might not be such an issue when they are teens opening their own post.

Curve ball, but what do you think of Zena? If sprang to mind as soon as I read your list.

Dollywilde · 10/09/2019 18:45

I’d try to avoid same initials - if they’re at the same school some stuff is labelled Surname, S. I like all your options though and I’m sure it’s something you can get past if you really favour Sienna!

SavageBeauty73 · 10/09/2019 18:52

I love Sienna.

My parents were going to name me India but named me Amber instead.

666onmyhead · 10/09/2019 19:06

I heard a mum chatteing to her daughter in the supermarket on Sunday . She was called Selby. Sounded lovely to me.

firawla · 10/09/2019 19:08

Zara
