Are your children’s vaccines up to date?
FreyaHazel · 30/01/2021 22:56

I have a Freya and an Evelyn so I vote for both of those!

ChilliChaos · 30/01/2021 22:58

Elsie is my favourite from your list but I don’t think it’s a good sibling name for Rosie.

Elsa instead?

NoSquirrels · 30/01/2021 22:59

In order of preference for me it would be

Fern
Thea
Evelyn (not Everley)
Freya
Keira (but I’d use Ciara)
Olivia
Georgie
Bella

I actually think it’s quite nice the Rose/Fern thing l. You need to think of your children as individuals first, siblings second. If you love Fern then it’s just a nice thing they’re both plant names.

I also like Iris, Hazel, Holly if you’re going down that nature-inspired road...

Thea

SmeleanorSmellstrop · 31/01/2021 03:38

I like Fern best, Elsie and Thea second.

Others are fine but a lot of them about.

WellityWellityWellity · 31/01/2021 08:46

Fern is lovely! My favourite on your list by miles.

Least favourite is Bella, which I've never liked for some reason. Just not a very nice sound to me.

Edenember · 31/01/2021 08:54

Freya

niknakpak · 31/01/2021 09:08

Thanks everyone. I think Fern is my favourite too but worried about being too much nature with my Rose! Will use for a middle at least if not brave enough to go for it. Lots of love for Thea too which is DH favourite.

WellityWellityWellity · 31/01/2021 12:54

FWIW Thea would be my second favourite.

KirstenBlest · 31/01/2021 13:32

Fern - ok
Keira not keen
Olivia - overpopular
Freya- overpopular
Evelyn/ Everly - don't like/awfuk
Elsie - not keen
Thea - not keen
Georgie - ok, best short for Georgina
Bella - not keen

Georgie

DollyParton2 · 31/01/2021 13:55

I love Elsie the most x

Chilldonaldchill · 31/01/2021 14:26

Fern - is ok.
Keira - I know lots of these, I don't love it. Also there are so many different spellings.
Olivia - no. Very boring.
Freya - lovely
Evelyn/ Everly - Evelyn is ok but way too popular - also the pronunciation is problematic. Everly is horrid - sorry
Elsie - nice
Thea - really lovely
Georgie - not keen
Bella - not keen

Freya and Thea are my favourites.
I would pick Thea Evelyn.

daisypond · 31/01/2021 14:47

Fern or Thea are my favourites. Definitely not Elsie- the worst name - or Georgie.

SilverOtter · 31/01/2021 14:49

I like Keira and Georgie, although I'd go for Georgina/Georgiana with Georgie as a nickname.

starkid · 31/01/2021 17:19

I like Keira most, don't hear it much these days and it's pretty. Also Fern is quite nice :) I wouldn't worry about it being too nature-sounding with Rosie.

TheVanguardSix · 31/01/2021 17:27

Fern is my favourite on your list.
