Hello, so I have six children already: Gabriel, Sebastian, Soren, Caspar, Rufus and Verity. This next little one is due in early May and I’m finding it hard to find another girl name I love to go reasonably well with the others.

Ones we have mooted so far are Cordelia, Persephone, Ophelia, Anastasia and Romilly. All lovely names but I’m just unenthused.

Verity’s full name is Verity Elizabeth Beatrix for info.

Any suggestions for old, unusual-ish names that work with my other children’s names pls? Smile

One of the middle names has to be Ida who was my late mother in law.

Thank you in advance!

Esme and Lara spring to mind.

I love all of your names, great choices.

Joolsin · 26/03/2021 22:41

I think you've hit on the right one already,
OP. Romilly is absolutely gorgeous, goes with your other children's names and especially with Verity, whilst not being too matchy either.

Joolsin · 26/03/2021 22:42

Or Tansy, as a PP suggested.

My favourites are probably Seraphine and Celeste. I think Juliet or Juliette is also very underused at the moment and beautiful.

I like your list and my favourite of those is Romilly. I wonder if you could also be tempted by something like Romy (short for Rosemary or on its own).

OP if none of your original choices feel right, another way to go might be to look at names in a similar style/sound to the ones you already like eg. if you like Romilly, consider Bryony or Romola instead, Antonia, Antigone or Natalia instead of Anastasia, Octavia, Aurelia or Nerissa instead of Ophelia, Petra, Perdita or Ianthe instead of Persephone, Celia/Cecilia or Cora/Coralie instead of Cordelia etc

Martha Evangeline Ida.
Love Felicity, but might be too matchy with Verity.
I taught a Romany once, thought that was lovely.
I love your names, btw. Beautiful.
