Sister for Clara

71 replies

Grateful for ideas on a sister for Clara! Ideally that don’t start with a vowel, and ideally, end in an ‘ee’ sound. (I know that some below don’t fit that criteria!!)

Names that I like which DH has vetoed:
Beatrice
Nancy

Other potentials that I’m just not totally sold on:
Edith
Martha
Sylvia/Sylvie

Thank you!

I think Nancy and Beatrice are lovely.
I wouldn't go with Sylvia and Martha with another "a" sound on the end. Edith is ok too.
I really like Mabel and Alice from @Ladderofyears list too.

Heidi fits your criteria but the two main characters in the Heidi book were Clara and Heidi so perhaps not Grin

I really like Beatrice and Nancy, btw :-)

Why has DH vetoed them? What kind of names appeal to him?

Thank you everyone Smile there’s some nice ones here - need to give it some more thought! Really appreciate all the replies. It’s tricky when there’s so many little girls amongst our friends and family - some of the lovely suggestions above have already been used!

Don't have an 'a' sound at the end for your new daughter.
