If Kate's first and middle names are from family members, and baby2's middle name is a family name, isn't there another grandmother on either side to name after, to folllow the pattern? An aunty? Your name or your middle name?

Sugarfree23 · 24/05/2023 01:36

Pippa?
Amy
Jane

If Kate is really Katherine then I'd consider another long name Elizabeth, Margaret, Victoria

Blair is a boys name I couldn't consider it for a girl. But what about Claire

user1492757084 · 24/05/2023 05:17

I like the sound of a three or one syllable name with Karen.
I also love a classic feminine name to soften the new over harsh critique of the lovely, Katharine derived,Karen.

Kate XXXXX and sister ..

Stephanie Karen
Louisa Karen
Eloise Karen
Eleanor Karen
Rose Karen
Leonie Karen
Leonor Karen
Rebecca Karen
Nichola Karen
Susanna Karen
Camilla Karen
Annabel Karen

AssertiveGertrude · 24/05/2023 05:27

Anna or Alice are lovely

I really like Emily too

Daffodilwoman · 24/05/2023 05:28

Lucy or Emily.

misspollycat · 24/05/2023 09:34

I always associate the name Kate with Lucy.
I know so many sisters called Kate and Lucy.

JustMaggie · 24/05/2023 09:38

Kate and Martha

Blair is a boy's name. Ella and Isla are ok but very popular

Emma or Hannah.

googledidnthelp · 24/05/2023 10:27

It's a classic name and I think you need something more traditional to go with it.

Not saying all classics but I like the sound it Kate with...
Melissa
Philippa
Lauren
Lucy
Naomi
Natalie
Victoria

Luredbyapomegranate · 24/05/2023 23:04

Kate and

Ida
Stella
Esther
Claudia
Tess (short for Esther if you want)
Nell (short for Eleanor if you want)
Nancy
Zoe
Verity
Felicity
Lydia
Imogen
Francesca
Anna
Saskia

Isla and Ella are really done to death and Blair is a boys name

Luredbyapomegranate · 24/05/2023 23:04

Naomi also

Rockmehardplace · 24/05/2023 23:35

The Kate’s I know have sisters called
Rachel
Natalie
Anna
Mary
Gillian
Beth

SemperIdem · 24/05/2023 23:35

I think a polysyllabic name before Karen would sound best, particularly one ending with “a”

Emilia Karen
Olivia Karen
Serena Karen
Isabella Karen
Felicity Karen
Verity Karen
Alicia Karen

Alice and Ella don’t go well with Karen, they’re too short.
