Plum’s sister!

[HazeyJaney]

Help please! We chose a very unusual name for our first daughter (Plum Elizabeth) and now we’re stuck on what to name her sister. Our current list feels a bit pedestrian in comparison, does it matter?

We like:

Alice
Flora
Gaia
Cecily
Beatrix
Sylvie
Merryn
Iris (actually, I’ve always loved Isis, but it’s obviously unusable now)

I think Sylvia is way to common with a name like plum?
What about potato?

Sylvie is lovely OP!

Sorry so many people have been such knobs on this thread, lots of people seem to think they're comedians but with the kind of jokes you'd expect to hear from a 5yo

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!

Plum and Sylvie sound lovely together. I knew a recruitment consultant called Plum, who was extremely efficient, organised and a good communicator (and found me a great job). Anyway you didn't post for comments on a done deal - Sylvie is a beautiful name and congratulations!

I adore sylive! I think it goes beautifully with plum (which BTW I think is a bloody adorable name!)

@HazeyJaney thank you so so much for updating us! I think Sylvie is a gorgeous name and goes really well with Plum- Sylvie is outside the top 400 names so def unusual enough to sit well with Plum

I’ve never met a Sylvie - love it though x

Ps. I still vote Alice as I think that will really throw people (and Alice is my favourite name so I’m biased) but love Sylvie too x

“Plum and Alice” ❤️ Love that combo !!

I think Sylvie is beautiful. You could always combine with a more unusual middle name to match Plum more.

Congratulations on your pregnancy

Sylvie is lovely!

Plum is awesome and so is Sylvie.

Good choice, Sylvie is lovely.

Lovely together op

I think Plum Elizabeth is a beautiful name. Im shocked at how nasty some people have been on here.
Really like Sylvie too and great it has such personal meaning to you too.

Prune?
(I have one in my class. In France though. Also have a few Fannys)

I called my baby Plum before she was born and my mum really wanted me to use it - I nearly did. It’s a great name.

Plum and Sylvie are lovely.

Mabel

Plum and Sylvie sound great.

I feel like I shouldn’t like the name Plum but I kind of do I can imagine a sweet little girl called plum

I strangely like the name plum, I can picture a cute little girl in frilly dresses with curly hair :) There was a girl on Britains Got Talent years ago who played the violin and she was called Lettuce!! So I think 'less used' names are very cute. I know you don't want anything that particularly matches plum, but what about Olive? That's quite a sweet name? Sylvie is nice though, I went to school with a Sylvie and she was lovely , her Sister was called Flora x

I have to ask, where you got the name plum from?

I think Plum is a gorgeous name and pairs nicely with Sylvie. If I was still young enough to have more babies I’d consider Plum for a child. It’s a lovely sound and image.

Please please call her Sylvie Clementine for symmetry with Plum Elizabeth.

Tess, Tabbitha or Lilac.

Plum is a great name. Ignore the bitchy comments (their kids are probably called James & Emma)

My friend has two now adult daughters, and one has an unusual name and the other has a very common name. Think along the lines of ' Phyllis and Kate'. The one with the more unusual name has always hated her name and been very resentful that her parents gave her sister a much 'prettier' name. She recently changed her name by deed poll.
My advice would be that Since you already have one child with an unusual name I would give your next daughter one too!
I really like these names

Clementine
Auriel
Olive
Violet
Gwendolyn
Edith
Ethel
Persophone
Ophelia
Nancy
Mabel

Xx

and pairs nicely with Sylvie....

I see what you did there
