Baby girl due very soon! One syllable surname. What are your thoughts on these first names? She will be a sister for Sebastian and Felicity.

Imogen
Eliza
Eloise
Eloisa (the a at the end sounds a little better with our surname and also adds a syllable)
Persephone
Naomi

Is there anything else we might like? Preference is heavily for 3 or more syllables because of the sibling names and the short surname.

Love Sebastian and Felicity and of your current list I think Imogen would work beautifully as a sibset. Other suggestions are;

Penelope
Meredith
Hermione
Rosalie
Evelyn

I like Naomi! I don't know many little Naomis!

Fivemoreminutes1 · 18/02/2021 10:28

Love them all apart from Eloisa.

Madeleine
Emilia
Genevieve
Matilda
Annabel

Eliza is great, Imogen is ok but not so mad on your other options though.
Matilda
Clementine
Alexandra
Penelope
Isabel / Isabella
Sophia
Victoria
Josephine
Annabelle
Miranda
Beatrice

Imogen is my favourite by a mile and so underused these days compared to 10 years ago and will be even further down the charts by time baby arrives.
Your children have lovely names

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 18/02/2021 11:24

Persephone is gorgeous but very brave (especially as her siblings names are more commonplace/popular).

Imogen definitely stands out as fitting best with Felicity and Sebastian - similarly elegant and levels of popularity.

Eliza is very trendy and your other choices also don't really "match" with her siblings name imo.

Louisa rather than Eloisa? Juliet? Helena?

LeonaMar · 18/02/2021 11:42

I think Eliza goes perfectly. I love Eliza. Also lin&3 Persephone.

Edenember · 18/02/2021 12:43

I love Imogen, Eliza, Eloise and Eloisa. You have exceptional taste.

Harriet / Harrietta, Eleanor / Eleonora, Beatrice, Henrietta, Isolde, Cordelia, Cressida, Amelie, Rowena/Rowenna, Tabitha, Lucinda, Louisa, Lucia, Thomasin, Edwina, Erica, Francesca, Isotta, Marianne, Mariett(a/e), Arabella, Araminta, Sephora, Seraphina, Penelope.

Some other good ones to consider!

I like Eliza. Not keen on the others.

17caterpillars1mouse · 18/02/2021 19:16

I mogen - I want to like it, as its my style but everyone I have ever met has been quite nasty so personally for me it's put me off.

Eliza - I like it and have only come across one recently

Eloise - not a fan

Eloisa (the a at the end sounds a little better with our surname and also adds a syllable) - I do like Eloisa however

Persephone - love it
Naomi - love it

With Sebastian and Felicity I would go Persephone personally

Shutupyoutart · 18/02/2021 19:36

Out of your list my fave is naomi. Other names that would go nicely are, abigail, tabitha, Matilda, Madeleine, Josephine, Annabel, cerianne, juliet, arriane, louisa, jessica, jennifer, Sophia, danielle, melissa.

partyatthepalace · 18/02/2021 23:15

Like Eloise and it goes well. Quite like Imogen which also goes well.

Think Eloisa is a bit fussy, Felicity (love it!) and Persephone are a bit much as a pair, I like Eliza but don’t think it matches the others very well, Not keen on Naomi.

Other thoughts - Diana, Cassia, Cecilia, Serena, Claudia, Cordelia, Alicia, Marianne, Genevieve, Leonora, Annabel, Isadora, Augusta, Helena, Estella, Perdita

user1493494961 · 18/02/2021 23:19

I like Imogen and Eliza.

DramaAlpaca · 19/02/2021 01:06

What a nice list!

I'm not sure that Persephone or Naomi fit so well with your other names, but all the others do.

I think I'd pick Imogen.

lobsteroll · 19/02/2021 01:15

Annabelle
Primrose
Tabitha
Clementine
Josephine

whatausername · 19/02/2021 01:34

Love your list. Imogen feels like the obvious choice but I think Naomi is great with Sebastian & Felicity.

Babybaby2021 · 19/02/2021 10:39

Thanks for your thoughts! It’s a really tricky choice!

OP posts:
KirstenBlest · 19/02/2021 12:27

Imogen -fine but don't like Immy
Eliza - ok, prefer Elizabeth.
Eloise - Not keen. It's ok but just another El name. It will get spelt Elouise by some, which isn't nice. Prefer Louise
Eloisa (the a at the end sounds a little better with our surname and also adds a syllable)- Not keen. It's ok but just another El name and looks weird. Much prefer Louisa.
Persephone - Percy. No
Naomi - people say it in different ways, so no.

Awalkinthefreshair · 19/02/2021 19:04

I like Eliza, Eloisa and Naomi from your list.
Also....
Theodora
Leonora
Clarissa
Rosanna
Mariella
Lucinda
Dorothea
Carlotta
Evangeline
Emmeline

RoundedTum · 19/02/2021 19:23

Absolutely love Naomi- am really surprised it's not more often used!

Chunkymenrock · 19/02/2021 19:25

Naomi is lovely. Romilly? Cassia?
