Hi everyone, I’m due in a couple of months with a little girl on the way - these are the names DH and I both like but I keep finding a negative in each of them so keep going round in circles trying to choose. We already have DD1, Lily - her name was easy to choose as it had a special meaning. We’re finding choosing a name for her sister harder!!

Sadie
Jasmine
Coral
Violet
Gracie/Grace
Scarlett
Pearl
Clara

Which one do you like best to go with Lily?
Thanks for your help!
Xx

Sadie - nice but I'm not sure if it's as pretty as Lily
Jasmine - like this
Coral - would love to see this come back, love it
Violet - lovely
Gracie/Grace - Lily and Grace is a good combo
Scarlett - I find this name a little harsh
Pearl - ahhh adore it!
Clara - beautiful, classic, travels well

I really like Sadie and Clara

I think Lilly and Layla sounds nice together
My niece is called Layla and I'm 36 weeks was going to call my daughter Kayla but I think I like kiana more

iwwntchocolate · 09/11/2020 04:02

Out of the names youve suggested I think the best one is Lilly and Gracie/Grace

GodolphinHorne · 09/11/2020 07:17

Jasmine, Violet or Grace are my favourite of those.

How about Iris or Alice?

Lily and Violet Pearl

WildCherryBlossom · 09/11/2020 09:21

Sadie - I quite like it, but Lily is a pretty name and Sadie is a bit more blunt sounding. Lily is a ballet slipper, Sadie is a Doc Marten. I like both but they don't really go together (apart from the rhyming ending - which I'm not keen on)
Jasmine - I would avoid 2 flower names
Coral - a chain of betting shops
Violet - I like this but not keen on another flower name
Gracie/Grace - extremely popular and a little bit bland but ok.
Scarlett - I want to like Scarlett. I know some lovely girls with the name but the Scar sound puts me off.
Pearl - another slightly bland sound, although a pretty meaning
Clara - you think this is my favourite with Lily. It has the same simple, clean, pretty vibe.

Thanks for all the thoughts on the names and new suggestions! I'll be giving it all a lot of thought over the next few weeks...I hope we can settle on a name we love! xx
