Sibling name for Ada

27 replies

Hey everyone.
We already have a DD named Ada and are expecting another baby later on this year, we are currently in need of some name inspiration and was hoping you guys could help.
We won’t be finding out the gender so will need ideas for both 👶🏼💙💗
We are not too fussy when it comes to names, we both like the vintage style but this isn’t a must and we would prefer something that is not too popular - I’m a primary school teacher, so this can be quite difficult! The most important thing is that the name goes nicely with Ada, so all ideas are welcome!
Thanks so much ☺️

My immediate thought for a girl was Ivy. Which is strange because it didn't even cross my mind for DD last year!
Although I've just looked it up and it seems quite popular at the moment (if that's a factor for you).

EileenGC · 15/01/2021 21:23

Marie and Theo or Thomas would be my choices

ParisJeTAime · 15/01/2021 21:30

The only Ada I know has a brother named Otis, which I love!

Iris is a good shout too.

Loving all of the suggestions so far ❤️
Lots to add to the list.
Thanks so much everyone

@ParisJeTAime I love love love Otis for a boy, but husband isn’t so keen, might have to keep working on that one!

@octoberfarm seems like we have similar tastes ☺️ A lot of your names we had on our list when I was pregnant with Ada ❤️

You could go for another palindrome so your new baby doesn't get palindrome envy! (I really wanted a palindrome name but I'm probably in the minority).
