Sister for Rachel

60 replies

Hi just found out our second baby is another little girl! Her sister is Rachel Audrey.

Last time me & DH really struggled to agree on names, I liked loads but Rachel was pretty much the only one he liked 😂

Suggestions welcome - in Ireland so Irish names an option.

Rachel Audrey is beautiful by the way. 😊

I love Rebekah/Rebecca with Rachel.

I'm deliberately not reading the other posters so apologies for potential duplication. A sister for Rachel Audrey, presuming that you'll put together names you love unless there's a family connection:
Caroline, Jane, Elizabeth, Ann, Charlotte, Ruth, Margaret (Meg or Molly), Jane, Janet, Jean, Elsie, Mary-Ann, Martha, Polly, Briony, Fiona, Isla, Dorothy, Helena, Juliet, Elspeth, Moira, Nancy,
Congratulations Flowers

Sarah goes best with Rachel.

soundsystem · 24/03/2023 20:15

Was beaten to it but my initial thought was Sarah!

MerryMarigold · 24/03/2023 20:21

I used to know sibs Rachel and Sarah.

I like Christina and Sylvia.

There are no Rachel’s! DD is 12 and we have yet to meet another Rachel under 20! Always makes me smile on Mnnwhen people are looking for uncommon names. No-one suggests Rachel.
I’d suggest monica or Phoebe 😊

Thank you 😊 Audrey was my grandmother's name.

Those suggesting Monica and Phoebe - Phoebe was actually another name I really liked, DH said no because it would make everyone would think of Friends... Hmm I didn't have the heart to point out his logical inconsistency when he went for Rachel 😂

I've seen a few people suggest Rebecca - can I suggest you don't choose that? From personal experience (I have one of these names) people always mix Rachel and Rebecca up for some reason! So perhaps not ideal for sisters.
