I was going to suggest Quinn but not sure that really works with Heidi and Elise.

Paige, Faith, Olive are all lovely and fit the rules.

Ariel? It is actually a nice name but people will think of the little mermaid.

Sofia, Piper, Julia are almost there?! There’s an I but just in the wrong place.

I think Quinn works, I like it

I think it's a big sad that you're picking a name based on an arbitrary rule and not because you love it or think it will suit your daughter. But whatever: Olive works. I'd say Alice but it's too close to Elise.

I don't agree! My twin girls are called Clara and Heidi, and similarly we liked how they follow the same vowel pattern (3rd and 5th letters the same vowel, if that makes sense). We didn't choose the names based on this criteria, we just liked them, but we felt that this added factor made the names complement each other well.

Heidi, Elise and Laila would be my choice!

My favorite on your list is Daisy! I think it's totally underrated :)

Other ideas:
Jaida
Aiden
Quinn

Almost-

(5 letters, with an I but maybe not in the middle)

Piper
Naomi
Kasia
Malia
Julia
Blair
Diana

Names with I in the middle, but not 5 letters -

Mia
Gia (love the nn Gigi)

for a boy, my favorite would be Flint :)

How can anyone possibly know if a name will suit a grown woman, when she's a wrinkly little baby 😆

KirstenBlest · 02/08/2023 11:56

Meike
Heike

Qbishy, some names seem like an adult's name not a baby's. But adults with names like Maureen and Colin will have been babies once.

I find it strange when people say I can't imagine an adult Poppy or Rory, but that's probably because I met adults with the names before I met babies/children with the name.

greglet · 02/08/2023 12:34

Frida is nice.

ButtonMoonBlanketSky · 02/08/2023 22:35

With your girls names (which I live btw)

Heidi, Elise and

Jaime
Daisy
Maisy
Faith
Quinn

My first thought was Aoife but it doesn't flow as well with Elise.

Same with Alice etc which I love but it's a mouthful if your trying call all 3 by name with Elise.

Anothermam · 03/08/2023 14:28

From your list I think Keira goes well with Heidi and Elise. Alice sounds too similar to Elise.

Only other name I can think of is Olive.

Underestimated4 · 03/08/2023 19:03

Neive same as Niamh or Neve

Tblendedwith3 · 03/08/2023 19:32

Teija (pronounced Tayah)

Whyme83 · 03/08/2023 19:35

My daughter is Jaime 😍.

Sudename · 03/08/2023 19:58
