Sister for Ray

[Erynn]

We have a little boy called Ray (not short for anything), looking for suggestions for his sister please as nothing’s really clicking at the moment!

I tend to like old-fashioned names like Mabel, Ida, Greta, Beatrix, etc. Also love quite “brave” names like Hero and Dove, but not sure they’re the most practical.

Martha
Connie
Tabitha
Esther
Matilda
Annie
Claudia
Margot
Edith
Rosalind
Cecilia
Maria
Betsy
Eleanor
Dorothea
Lillian

I like your ideas, although Greta can sound a bit harsh. I worked in a school with one who was the kind of child who's name you heard over and over iyswim so that's probably clouded my judgement

Eve
Pearl
Flora

Liesel

Just wanted to say that Ray is a fab name!!

Ahhh thank you @dementedma! It’s one of the few we could agree on for boys.

Some great suggestions, thanks everyone! I really like Edith/Edie, Esther, Violet, Pearl and Sally so far.

Thanks! Just checking back. I really like Gwen, Agnes, Astrid. Quite like Meg, but not keen on Megan. Can Meg be a full name on its own?

Also, any thoughts on Joss for a girl? Husband’s suggestion which I actually kind of love! (He doesn’t normally suggest much so I’m excited )

Meg could be short for Margaret.

Peggy
Frida
Gretchen
Agatha

Marnie
Winnie
Mabel, which is always a favourite with me!

Mabel and Great and Pearl are lovely

Joss is a boys name isn't it?

Ooh I like Peggy and Frida!

I think Joss is unisex, like Joss Stone for example (it’s a nickname I know but I think it works for both).

I like the sound of Antonia and Ray

Ray gives me a southern US vibe.

Betty-Jo
Jean
Loretta
Dolly
Sue (Susannah)

Hope
Saskia
Davina
Katrina
Hazel

Meg is fine on it's own, but people will try to make it Megan.

It's really nice. I don't like the -un sound in Megan.

Joss could be short for Josephine or Josceline

Irene
Sylvia
Pearl
Jean

Ray and Aileen

There's a thought. Eileen or a name from that era.
