Sister for Barnaby…shortlist of 10

[Indecisivenamer]

Got some useful feedback on here earlier in the summer on what was then a ridiculously long list of girls names. A name for a sister for Barnaby due any week now!

Narrowed it down to the below 10:
Stella
Sydney
Etta/Odette
Una
Alva
Primrose
Marnie
Remi
Meadow
Romilly/Romy

Any comments/favourites amongst these?

Love Meadow!

Odette

Romilly is the best of those!

I really like Romilly and Romy from your list, however with Barnaby ending in a 'y' I would perhaps go for Rowan or Rowena to balance the sounds out.

I love:

Barnaby and Stella
Barnaby and Sydney
Barnaby and Primrose
Barnaby and Romy

Not too keen on Romilly with Barnaby. Too rhymey.

Romy is a diminutive of Rosemary, not Romilly.

Stella for me, really jumps out.

Stella by a country mile for me for what it is worth.

All best to you

Stella - nice
Sydney - it’s okay but I think it would sound odd with Barnaby (although if it was a boy would go okay)
Etta/Odette - nice
Una - a bit boring
Alva - vulva
Primrose - nice
Marnie - nice
Remi - it’s a boys name
Meadow - nice but a bit cheesy at the same time
Romilly/Romy - Romy is nice but Romilly reminds me of Rommel.

Hang on, you can’t have Barney and Marnie. Although I love Marnie I’d knock it off the list for that reason. I’d choose Stella.

i like marnie

Romy I'd avoid as Roman is THE fastest rising boy name (currently number 23 but still rising) and the shortening of that is often Rome or Romy so her name will blend in with that hugely popular name Roman

Stella - like
Sydney - not sure. Sidonie is better
Etta/Odette - No
Una - like
Alva - no
Primrose - not sure
Marnie - Barny and Marnie?
Remi - no
Meadow - no
Romilly/Romy - no

How about Estella?

Etta is my favourite

Sydney is ok. The others aren't to my taste.

Like:
Etta
Alva - prefer Alba though
Primrose - don't think I'd use it but do like it

Dislike:
Stella - always 'wife beater' lager to me
Sydney - boy's name to me
Odette
Una
Marnie
Remi - really like for a boy
Meadow - pretty but maybe a bit much day to day
Romilly/Romy - I'm actually indifferent about these, prefer Romy

Estella MUCH prettier than Stella with nicer connotations

Yes:
Stella - sparky and goes nicely
Una - as long as you spell it Oona then it’s a great name and goes well

OK:
Romilly - Barnaby and Romilly is bit matchy matchy tho
Etta is OK, but Odette just makes me think of a bad smell, so Etta short for Juliet, Violet or Henrietta instead

No
Sydney - I like it, but because it’s mostly a boys name, and has a similar feel to Barnaby, people will absolutely think ‘Barney and Sydney’ are your two boys, and that really isn’t fair on her
Alva - barmaid
Primrose - wet
Marnie - You cannot have Marnie and Barney, come on
Remi - an old French bloke
Meadow - increasingly low rent like River, Skye and Ocean. Also a bizarre combo with Barnaby

How about Estella? ; )

Dunno.
When I read thread titles like this I always instinctively think of a name
"Barnaby and Alice" sprung to mind.

I would choose Alva, how pretty!

I have a Barnaby/ Barney. I’d go with Celia if I ever had a girl.

Or maybe Roma?

I like Stella and Marnie.

I strongly dislike the rest, sorry.

One of my friends has a lovely name - Euphemia (Effie for short). I love that but we had all boys!

(Of your list I like Stella and Sydney)
