Sibling for Arthur & India

[Trying888]

Baby no.3 is a girl. We have Arthur and India already. Which do you think goes best out of our shortlist? I tend to like less popular names - Arthur was picked before the huge rise!!!

Florence (maybe too popular for us)
Ophelia
Arabella
Hattie (normally prefer full names but there aren't any for Hattie that I love)
Primrose
Effie (as above re. full names!)

Thanks!

Arabella goes nice as it ends in the 'a' sound. I also really like the name Effie.

Florence nn Flo or Florrie is lovely. I like Hattie but feel like it needs to be a nickname.
Not a fan of Ophelia or Arabella, i think they're quite pretentious and Effie is ugly.

Florence for me.

Might Constance appeal? I know a very sweet little one, with nn Coco.

Ivy
Harriet
Dora
Lucia
Calliope

But definitely Florence from your list. Flora would be nice too.

I'm not keen on any sorry but Arabella is the best.

You didn't ask but what about Saskia, Dulcie or Mara?

I think Florence and Primrose go really well with your other children’s names.
Know so many Arabellas lately so if don’t want popular I would avoid as seems to really be on the up.

Arabella is in the Top 100 atm at #71. Similar names Isabella and Isabelle are at #6 & #28.
Florence is #16.
Harriet is #49 and is occasionally shortened to Hattie. Lottie is also in the Top100 at #67 and is similar to Hettie.

I think a name that doesn't end in an A sound would make a nice addition to your sib set.

How about:
Marie
Naomi
Adele
Judy
Abigail
Rose
Jade
Leigh
Emme
Polly
Sabine
Merritt
Josie
Calypso
Lainey
Max
Judith
Nell
Lenore
Sunny
Lilith
Kerry
Caitlyn

Very posh names! I'd go with Arabella to keep to the theme.

Florence seems to be getting the most votes but that was my least favourite - I’m really not keen on Flo as a nickname and so that puts me off.

Are there any that you think absolutely don’t ‘go’

Hattie was my preference out of your list. Not so keen on Arabella.

Other suggestions:
Ivy
Marnie
Maisie
Esme
Missy

How about Romilly or Romy?

I like Hattie and Primrose from your list but wouldn't opt for Hattie as the registered name - the Hatties I know (aged 16, 6 and 1) are officially Harriets and the teen has some friends who call her Harry or Riot, neither of which work for 'Hattie'.

Florence is my favourite from your list. But I'd go for Miriam (I know you didn't ask!)

I wouldn't go for Arabella because you already have an A name with Arthur.
I would also discount Florence because it's a place and so is India (I know this doesn't matter at all really but it seems like your girl names would be theme-y and your boy's doesn't match).
Ophelia and Arabella end in -a like India so sound a bit match-y.
I just don't like Hattie (sorry) so I would discount that.
Primrose is sweet but I like Effie best, so that would be my top choice.

Arabella is one of the fastest risers so is / will be having a bit of a moment.

Love Arthur and India! I think I like Hattie best from your list as it feels like it stands on its own. No as keen on Harriet but Hattie is lovely. Two more to throw in the ring, even though you haven’t asked - Emmeline (Emmy) or Madeleine?

Arabella

Dulcie
Sally

I like Hattie best of your list. I like Harriet as a full name.
I slightly prefer Hettie and love Hester as a full name.
I really like Florence but it is popular.
I'm not really keen on your other names I'm afraid.
Other names i think work with Arthur and India....
Beatrix
Cassia
Constance
Cecily
Thea
Esther
Flora
Meredith
Merryn
Tabitha

Octavia
Seraphina
Aurora
Clementine
Melody
Clara
Evangeline

I think you should discount Florence as it's too popular for you, Effie and Hattie are nicknamey whereas Arthur and India are full names so discount those.
Arabella and Ophelia 'go'well but I personally find Ophelia way too posh and fussy, Arabella is nice but getting more popular.
My favourite is Primrose. It goes perfectly as it has a different first letter, it is never going to be super popular, it has lots of shortening options.

I’m not hugely keen on Florence. Ophelia or Primrose are my favourites.
What about

Octavia

Marianne

Ines

Honor

Valentina

I also really like the suggestion of Constance with Coco as a nn.

I think Hattie is nice, but a name starting with another vowel goes better with Arthur and India. I don’t like Arabella, but Annabelle is pretty and goes well with the other two. If you like unusual names, how about Élodie?

Florence or Arabella! Both are beautiful and go great with your other children's names.

Ophelia - Sounds like pedophilia...
Effie - Just doesn't sound nice at all to me.
Hattie - I don't hate it but don't like it either.
Primrose - It's nice but I immediately think of The Hunger Games.

Minerva (Minnie)?
