What’s your mum’s maiden name, would it work?

or if you like family names, copy what you and your daughter have and go for Sydney Jaynez

Rae is taken from the letters of your mother's name. Debra which means bee as does Melissa.
Sydney also has a feminine form - Sydelle
Inspired from your list ...

Sydelle Rae
Beatrix Sydney
Sydney Melissa

Out of all the options suggested I think Sydney Debra works best!

mumonherphone · 03/02/2023 16:14

I would go for Sydney Anne or Sydney Bea, With 'b' being a key letter in Debra and Barbara.

Love Sydney by the way!

Thank you all lots of choice but still nothing is jumping out our surname is Willis my daughter likes ivyanne and anna-mae I would of like my mother or mother in laws name but there abit old Barbara and debra my grandma is sheila

I really like Sydney for a girl, but I think you need something distinctly feminine in the middle so she has options - as Sidney is a family name perhaps the middle name could just be something you like?

But as you mention Ann a lot

Sydney Annabel Willis works really well

Debra means ‘bee’. You could have Sydney Bee or Sydney Bea?
