Help on choosing a girl's name to go with Claudia and Sienna

Hi all - my partner and I can't decide on names for our second daughter (his third). Would LOVE advice!! Our current combined children are:

Claudia Colliver
Sienna Rose Colliver

and the new baby will be XXX Mae Colliver. We are trying to decide between:

Ava Mae
Erin Mae
Sadie Mae

(Ava is my fave but is it just TOO popular)? My partner loves Erin but we don't have any Irish ancestry and I don't know if that would be weird. Sadie is super-cute but hoping to avoid names beginning with the same letter if possible (my sister and I both begin with E and it was a nightmare with post).

I like Erin the most, I wouldn't worry about not having an Irish connection, I think the name is pretty well known on its own if that makes sense.

Ava close second, I don't know if it's popular but it's lovely.

I also really like Sadie, but put it last just for your reason of not wanting to Ss.

Yea Ava Mae is too popular. Every Ava will be Ava May/Grace/Rose. It’s so overused it’s dull. Sorry.

I like Sadie, never hear that.

nurseandmamato3 · 19/01/2023 13:56

I think Sadie Mae is a stunning name!

I have an Amelia and a Hallie, both sound lovely with the names of your girls too.

Thank you!! Amelia and Hallie are beautiful names. :)

Thank you!
We've just decided on the name Lydia for their baby sister, I'm due at the end of this month and now searching for a middle name :)

TheCraicDealer · 19/01/2023 16:05

I have a DD called Claudia and was going to call this baby Juliette or Harriet if it was another girl. Alas it’s a boy, so you can have my suggestions! 😁

shhsleepin · 19/01/2023 16:06

I love the name Sadie!

Also nice to find a thread where people have lots of girls, I have 4!

Rickandmortified100 · 19/01/2023 16:12

Claudia and Sienna are both beautiful and I feel that your name options might be a bit dull in comparison? Ava is beautiful but it’s been done to death, especially with the ‘Mae’ middle. Erin is cool but a totally different vibe to the other too, which are far more feminine and frilly (in a good way). I really like Sadie but again, it doesn’t really ‘go’ with the others. If I was choosing a sibling for Claudia and Sienna I’d choose something with a similar vibe: beautiful and feminine. Like:

  • Jemima
  • Beatrice/Beatrix
  • Imogen
  • Felicity
  • Isadora
  • Tabitha
  • Theodora
  • Juliette
  • Iris
  • Aurelia
  • Annaliese
  • Eliza
  • Rosa
  • Marina
  • Susanna
Rickandmortified100 · 19/01/2023 16:12

Of the three you selected, I’d choose Sadie

lauraslops · 19/01/2023 16:29

I think my favourite of the three would be Sadie but can understand why you would avoid another S.
When I read Sienna and Claudia the first names to spring to mind were
Amelie
Imogen
Evelyn
Martha
Lucille
Eleanor

wishing3 · 19/01/2023 16:30

Love Sadie and Erin.

welshpolarbear · 19/01/2023 16:37

Amelie is lovely and goes with your other girls well.

Madamecastafiore · 19/01/2023 16:39

How about Daphne?

Bluevelvetsofa · 19/01/2023 17:47

I love Sadie.

Romy
Romilly

Waspsnbees · 19/01/2023 18:01

they're all fairly popular names, and all lovely, so i wouldn't necessarily rule out ava.
i don't really think i'd worry too much about them 'going' with your other names, just cos i think they're very different names. imo claudia is timeless classic, sienna is more modern/trendy. plus i don't think names necessarily need to be similar within a family.
good luck choosing! you can't go far wrong :)

RhubarbFairy · 19/01/2023 18:09

I know twins that are Olivia and Sienna, so always thought they worked well together.

Sadie is my favourite from your list. Vastly underused name, but all of the names are beautiful.

On our girls list were

Edie
Isabel
Imogen
Alice
Charlotte

PrinceHaz · 19/01/2023 18:12

With Claudia and Sienna, I’d choose something similarly striking and kind of ancient Roman sounding e.g.
Alexandra
Romilly
Julia or Juliette (even Julie)
Cosima
Serena
Livia
Valentina
Lucia

I’m not keen on the something followed by Mae names. They also seem quite a departure from your other girls’ names.

cravingtoblerone · 19/01/2023 18:16

Ava is lovely but is absolutely everywhere these days. Depends whether that bothers you or not.

Erin seems a bit drab and nothingy compared to Claudia and Sienna IMO...

Sadie Mae is lovely. I'd go for that...

BearingFalseWitness · 19/01/2023 18:18

Sadie is a lovely name but it seems a departure from her sisters names which are more elegant.

jackstini · 19/01/2023 18:27

What about Avery Mae (prefer May tbh) - then it's a bit more unusual and she has same number of syllables as her sisters

Off topic but why has dd1 not got a middle name?

Floralnomad · 19/01/2023 18:33

Alana was the first name that came to mind to go with your others . Of your 3 I’d go for Sadie .

Icantakemyselfdancing · 19/01/2023 18:34

As you like Ava

I also think
Anna
Annabel
Arabella

would go with the other two beautiful names

Relaxd · 19/01/2023 18:34

I like Erin best off the list. Evie and Edie are lovely names too and sound great with Mae. You’ll almost never say the full names but you will say ‘Claudia, Sienna, Erin, come inside please’ so see how it feels to say that. Personally I think a y or EE sounding name works well with this mix.
