Sister for Ivy

[kars2021]

We have a little girl called Ivy and have another girl due in the Spring. Currently struggling to decide on a name. We both love Olive and Maeve and cannot decide which goes best as a sibling name for Ivy. All thoughts welcome. Thanks I’m advance :)

Congrats! I find Ivy and Olive a bit tongue-twistery (possibly because the names share a lot of letters/sounds). Maeve is nice enough but I personally prefer Mabel to Maeve and would suggest that alongside Ivy. Ivy and Mabel.

Mary

Valerie
Verity

…Holly?

Willow, Rose, Hebe.

Love Olive. Also maybe Elsie, Iris or Ada? Congratulations!

My Nan was called Dorothy and she had a twin sister called Ivy. I quite like Dorothy shortened to Dolly.

I think that due to the V in all of them they don't flow easily next to each other. However she is an individual as much as a sibling so perhaps the decider is based on which sounds best with your surname/middle name choice?

Of the two, Maeve (Olive only belongs in a salad..)

Otherwise
Hope
Edith
Alice
Robin
Ffion
Stella
Esther
Elsbeth
Honor

Lots of V’s in both Olive and Maeve so might be difficult to say in a rush! Having said that both lovely names and fine together. Not a deal breaker. Favourite is Olive.
