Sibling for Saul

[SeptemberDreams]

Hi all,
We are sorted for a possible boy’s name but would really welcome name suggestions for a sister for Saul?
We both really like Beatrix but not sure if it’s possibly a bit of a marmite name? We also loved Martha but it doesn’t go with our surname at all so that’s out. Husband also keen on Anna and Alice.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give us!

Alice and Anna are lovely

Saul is such a great name

How bout Lois, Esther, Ines, Jocelyn, Honor, Cleo, Juno, Stella, Astrid, Robin

Of the ones on your list I like Anna best - a classic, though not as interesting as Saul. Beatrice and Alice both fine, but very standard issue - I would feel a bit hard done by next to Saul if I were them.
Martha just makes me think kitchen drudge

Anna
Abigail
Bina
Rachel
Rebecca

All lovely names with Hebrew origins, as has Saul.

Saul and Alice is a lovely set!

Saul and Kate
Saul and Francesca
Saul and Zara

Rosa
Alexis
Lydia
Eliza
Harriet
Nancy
Mabel

Saul and Anna works well. Lydia is a good suggestion too.

Naomi
Elspeth
Lena
Jasmine
Cassie
Rachel
Amber
Leah
Charlotte
Iris
Felicity

Saul is such a great name!

Personally I find Anna and Alice a bit dull and commonplace in comparison; I prefer Beatrix (nothing wrong with a marmite name!) by far.

@partyatthepalace - lovely suggestions thank you! Fair point about Martha, I often think I’m more a Martha than a Mary when it comes to social events, something I’m working on!

Martina
Eliza
Fern

@elfran yay a vote for Beatrix! I like the nickname Bea too and it goes well with our surname... I don’t know why I feel like it would be a brave choice when it is a classic name. I’m a teacher so keen to get a name I don’t have any associations with and isn’t overly popular but it’s tricky!

Thanks for all your lovely suggestions... some great choices there!

I like Anna and Beatrix. Alice is fine but a bit dull. I don’t know why I don’t feel Anna is dull but I don’t. Hannah?

@lemonsyellow I agree... Anna still feels somehow quite fresh even though it’s so simple and classic. There is a Hannah in our family already but it’s a lovely name

I love.beatrix.
Or xanthe, zoe, juliette

Rachel, Esther, Hannah

Sorry missed what you said about Hannah

What a shame you can’t have Martha. It’s a beautiful name.

Saul and Alice are an excellent pair.

Saul and Beatrix are lovely together. Bea is very cute.

To me Beatrix is no more a marmite name then Saul (as Beatrix is a less common variation of Beatrice, just like Saul is the less common variant of Paul).

If you love Beatrix, I'd go for it - the nn Bea is lovely imo, and as much as I love both classic Anna and Alice, they are quite popular in comparison to Saul and Beatrix.

Other ideas that "go well" with Saul to me - Ruth, Claudia, Miriam, Mara, Talia, Tabitha, Talitha, Jemima, Keziah, Damaris.

If you like bea how about Belinda?

Genevieve? I think this goes with Saul...

Anna goes well
Asha

Beatrix is great. There are a few Beatrices these days too.

Saphiara (not sure spelling but love the name )

One more suggestion - how about Eliana they you can call Anna as a nn too but the name a bit more different

I don’t think Alice really goes with Saul. They’re very different. Saul is Hebrew and Alice is Germanic/English. They jar to me.

More great suggestions, thank you all so much!
