My favourite as a name is Elizabeth but I think Helena goes best with Alexandra (possibly because I already know sisters with those names)!

I like Helena and Anna. Isabella is OK but I prefer Isobel. Not keen on any of the rest.

To honor your Grandfather and (I'm assuming) Hebrew roots I would suggest using an EL (meaning God in Hebrew) name like Eliana as a Middle Name.
EL names are currently quite popular so you may want to avoid as a first name but it depends how you feel about it on a personal note. For e.g according to last years name data Ella is abundantly popular and there are many others.

From your list I would personally go with:
Helena Elizabeth.
Just beautiful.

Some names that both begin with EL and are Hebrew:
Eliora
Elisheva
Ela

Otherwise I would stick to Elizabeth.

IMO Eliana and Alexandra are too similar sounding to be a sib set.

Good luck 🙂!

I love Cassandra and Helena. I'd choose the latter for Alexandra's sister, I don't like rhyming names for siblings.

Love Eliana and Cassandra although I think the latter is to close to Alexandra

Elizabeth is a classic royal name that goes well with Alexandra (also a classic royal name).

I like Christina but I don't know if Chrissie and Alex are a bit of an '80s combination.

Eliana- not a fan of this. Not sure where you're from but in my local dialect it would be dragged out in the middle to eliaaaaana and that would drive me mad.

Isabella- far too popular, 3 in one class at school.

Christina- I don't mind this but it depends how you feel about Chrissy/Tina as majority of people would likely shorten it.

Anna/ Anya- I like this but trying to say "Alexandra and Anna/Anya" is a mouthful.

Elizabeth- lovely name, again nickname to be considered.

Cassandra- hate this one, sorry.

Helena- by far my favourite, very classic and timeless.

Edenember · 21/02/2021 22:07

I like Anna/Anya and Elizabeth

Eliana. Dislike
Isabella5. Meh

Christina 4. Meh
Anna/ Anya 4. Really like Anya not as keen on Anna
Elizabeth - 1. Love love want to name future dd Elizabeth. Plenty of scope for mn
Cassandra 3. Lovely
Helena 2. Nice

I vote Elizabeth. Lovely.

Not Anna/Anya. They are pretty but two daughters "Miss A Smith, 1 Anylane Road". Nightmare.

Christina Anna or Elizabeth are best - I would go for Christina it makes a real change
