Tabitha

theduchessofspork · 19/10/2023 21:06

Flora goes nicely

Not a fan of the rest, and none really go

but maybe

Lydia
Louisa
Victoria
Viola
Clara
Claudia
Cassia
Emmeline
Ellen / Eleanor
Tessa (short for Esther or Teresa if you want)

James and Tabitha is the best.
I'm not seeing the others go as nicely together.

Other ideas ..

If you like Harriet how about Hattie - it goes nice with James

MrsMorseEndeavour · 19/10/2023 22:11

I have a Charlotte and James. Traditional and don't really date. I think classic similar names like that would go best

wafflingworrier · 19/10/2023 22:14

I love Beatrice, Harriet and Tabitha

Maybe choose the one you like as a stand alone name rather than what goes with James?

Pipsquiggle · 19/10/2023 22:15

I was going to suggest Harriet! If I had had a girl, that would have been my choice.

I would discount Eirinn just because she will have to repeatedly spell it out for her ENTIRE LIFE.

SallyWD · 19/10/2023 22:23

Tabitha is my favourite

Our James’s older sister is Laura, works well for us

Fifiesta · 19/10/2023 22:46

Not on your list but, how about James and Roseanna? For some reason three syllable names seem to go with James.

EmmaGrundyForPM · 19/10/2023 17:22

I don't think any of those go with James. James is a very traditional name which works well with other plain, traditional names such as

Emma
Charlotte
Victoria
Sophie

Yes I agree.
Flora might, or Florence.
Ledia? Awful 😖. Do you mean Lydia?

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 19/10/2023 23:48

Cora is nice. More ideas. James and Catherine. Alice. Olivia. Emily. Eleanor. Lucy. Rebecca. Emma. Hannah.

No, I don’t mean Lydia 🤣 it’s a family name on my husband’s side, his Albanian grandmother was Ledia.

I think Harriet is my favourite and goes well with James

choirmumoftwo · 20/10/2023 09:54

I have a James and a Sarah.

Theoldwoman · 20/10/2023 15:21

My favourites are:

Tabitha

Cora

Eleanor
Helena
Ellen
Maeva
Maudie
Muriel

MollsDolls · 20/10/2023 15:45

LOVE Cora. If I had gone on to have another girl Cora was my top name. I have a James and his sister is Ella

Longdarkcloud · 20/10/2023 15:54

I love Venetia. I don’t understand posters saying it not traditional like James as it been around for several hundred years.
Harriet is nice but a bit too popular.
I haven’t heard of Ledia before. I think people would confuse it with Lydia. And Leda is distasteful because of the swan rape scenario liked Renaissance artists.

Persiana · 20/10/2023 16:11

I like Cora, not keen on the others for pp reasons.
What about-
Ada
Rosa
Anna
Alice
Juliet

Twazique · 20/10/2023 16:14

Came on thinking of Helena and Harriet and I have been beaten to it!

Ledia would make a great middle name.
