A sister for Oliver

We can't decide on which of the following names we want to go with:

Emily
Emilia
Charlotte
Lucy
Sofia

Which do you think is the best and goes well with Oliver? Also any suggestions on middle names would be great too!

They're all nice and all go well with Oliver.

I would choose Emilia.

DesertSnow · 04/12/2023 23:20

My immediate thought before opening the post was Amelia, so of yours I'd go with Emilia.

pastaandpesto · 04/12/2023 23:21

Before opening the post I was thinking Emma. Emily goes beautifully with Oliver.

Emilia, Lucy or Sofia - don’t think you can go wrong with any from your list though. All lovely names.

Lucy is my favourite.

MerryChristmasToYou · 05/12/2023 13:25

Emily - ok but much prefer Emma
Emilia - will get Amelia a lot, and misspelt as Emelia (pulls face)
Charlotte - lovely
Lucy - very nice but there seem to be a lot of L names currently popular
Sofia - Sophia and Sofia are both very popular and there's the spelling issue

I'd drop Emilia and Sofia

Charlotte or Lucy goes best with Oliver. Which goes best with the surname? Use the other one as a middle name.

All go fine with Oliver.

Emily - a good choice
Emilia - fine
Charlotte - never been a fan, just don't like the sound
Lucy - fine
Sofia - I much prefer Sophia, that would be my favourite with that spelling

Middle names: you could use one of the ones you haven't chosen e.h. Sophia Lucy, Lucy Emilia, Emily Sophia etc.

Marianne, Penelope, Harriet, Miriam, Josephine, Genevieve, Mary, Natalie could be middle name options, depending on surname too.

Charlotte & Lucy go best with Oliver imo.

I always prefer family influence for middle names.

MaloneMeadow · 05/12/2023 15:26

I think that all of them are lovely and will go perfectly well with Oliver. Only one I’m not a fan of is Lucy - really overdone and dated to the early 00s now

RosaElize · 09/12/2023 17:15

another vote for Emilia

Emilia Joy

Emilia Seren

Emilia Iris

theduchessofspork · 09/12/2023 19:13

Charlotte

Charlotte Lucy is nice

or Charlotte Lucy Emilia if you want to go for it

Rachaelrachael · 09/12/2023 19:20

Charlotte or Lucy! I love the other names too but think those 2 go best with Oliver

SkaneTos · 11/12/2023 23:14

They are all lovely names!
My favourites are
Oliver and Emily
Oliver and Emilia
Oliver and Sofia

I think all the names on your list can be combined to First name + Middle name in different combinations.

Emily Charlotte
Emilia Lucy
Emily Sofia
Sofia Lucy
Emilia Sofia
Sofia Charlotte
Charlotte Emilia
Emilia Charlotte
