Sister for Eliza

We're so stuck, we were almost sold on Zara but wonder if it's too similar to Eliza? I don't want anything too pretty or girlie, help please!

Eliza is such a pretty name 😊 my baby girl is called Elizabeth and sometimes I call her Eliza

Thanks so much everyone you're definitely on my wavelength with the suggestions. We had thought about Imogen and also Lucy.

I think it's too similar.

Luredbyapomegranate · 21/09/2022 22:14

Zara is a bit on the pretty and girly side, it’s quite nice, but doesn’t have the history Eliza has.

I think Imogen is a great shout. Lucy works too but is a bit little girly

Eliza and Sarah

Sarah is lovely and underused right now. Not too frilly or girlie, but the sound of it it gentle and suits Eliza, in my opinion.
