Girl Names Shortlist please help

[LJaney246]

Hello!

Baby girl is a week old and we are stuck on names. Must be the sleep deprivation also haha. We already have a 3yo called Wren Silvia and now we can’t decide on:

Sylvie - can we use wren’s middle name 😬
Soline
Matilda
Alma
Ellis

Any thoughts?

I am leaning to Alma Ray Richardson but my mum really doesn’t like Alma although she could just get over that in time :/

Sylvie is my favourite choice of your names by a mile. Wren & Sylvie are gorgeous together. I wouldn’t be put off by Silvia being Wren’s middle name at all, they aren’t exactly the same name and barely anyone knows about middle names. It’s also a sweet nod to her big sister.

Matilda Ellis?

Sylvie is gorgeous

You can definitely use a previous child’s middle name, Kate Middleton did it with Louis! I would go for Ellis though, absolutely love it

I'm not a fan of Alma at all - it's heavy and dull.

Love Sylvie, but I see the issue. It would feel she got second dibs!

How about:

Linnet
Sabina
Saskia?

Oh and Ellis - don't! She will be Ellie and there are a million of them!

It’s fine to use Sylvie.

I like Soline.

There are SO many Matildas and Tillys - I’d avoid that.

Alva instead of Alma? Alva is popular in some European countries and has the V sound you like (or there's also the similar Elva). But if not, I think "re-using" Sylvie is fine - Sylvie has a chic French elegance to me, the Silvia spelling has a beautiful Shakespearean feel instead imo.
