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

[EmilyRose1985]

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).

Lauren 💕

Ahhh I love Amelie, but as my name is Emily it is alas too similar! :)

I wouldn't worry too much about the Irish aspect. It's not actually an Irish name and one that's rarely used here. It's a lovely name though!

I like Erin.
What about Avery instead of Ava?

Love Sadie.

I'm not sure! My partner and his ex didn't seem to feel one was necessary. I love a good middle name so feel it's a missed opportunity! :)

Of the three you like, I would go with Sadie, but I also love

Vanessa
Rebecca
Nastasia
Marianne
Vivienne
Jennet
Thalia
Janice
Daphne
Rosalind

Evie Mae?

What about
Matilda
Lydia
Romy

I like Sadie

Or
Saskia
Avery
Sorcha

Of the names you've listed I prefer Ava.

Before opening the thread I thought Laura.

I agree with a PP, you have a Roman theme going on there. How about Portia? Livia would be another option if you wanted another 3 syllable names.

Honestly I’d drop the Mae as I think it’s over used.
But if you really love it how about Valentina Mae?

Or Nora Mae 😂

Claudia, Sienna and Sadie sounds the most like 3 sisters to me. But I like Erin and Ava too.

I have a Claudia, with big sister is Isabella, (nickname Izzie)

Other girl names I liked were

Francesca
Helena
Sasha
Stella
Gabriella (but was too similar to Isabella)
Imogen (but = two girls with an 'I' name)
Emily

Sadie is gorgeous. Erin and Ava have much less impact.
How about Francesca? Or Cosima? Or Clementine or Valentina?

Sadie is lovely.
How about Tessa.

Or instead of Mae as a middle, how about Maeve as the first name?

I like Sadie! Rare and lovely.

these are all so helpful, thanks so much for the suggestions!

Hello. My favourite name on the list is Erin - I have one and she does have an Irish surname and Irish ancestry on both sides but I don’t think it’s a super traditional Irish name so I think it’s ok to use it in other circumstances.

but…. Claudia and Sienna have a very Italian vibe (though with anglicised spelling/pronunciation) and I think Ava goes best with them. Yes it is popular but that wouldn’t bother me if I loved it.

My daughter also has Italian ancestry and if I’d have been able to persuade my OH her name would have been Lucia! That would also work with your existing names.

I love Ava, to me Erin and Sadie are really harsh sounding in comparison (and in comparison to your other girls names which I love.

I don't know any Ava's so I wouldn't let popularity put you off. I do know an Anya though which I think is similar and also very lovely.

Laura
Juliet
Erica
Matilda
Rachael

Erin is alright - it would be nice if she had something as elegant as her sisters though -Adela, Francesca, Fernanda etc

Ava is too overused
