Before I clicked on the post the name that came to me when I read the sibling was Niamh. Absolutely no idea why but think it goes nicely.

There is Irish heritage on both sides, so that’s interesting!

Wow that’s a real sibling set.

I’d suggest Mabel, Nancy.

edited to remove Thora as it would be ridiculous with Flora! Thea?

JustMaggie · 30/12/2023 19:05

I like Rose

Beth

Primrose nn Prim

Sorry let’s not forget boys! Something easy like Liam or Max I think. Though quite like George too!

Harriet

Thora is a bit too close to Flora, but thanks for the others…
I like Rose too but my brother wouldn’t want it shortened to Rosie as it gives him Rosie and Jim vibes

Gretel for a girl
Dominic for a boy

Ethel?

Can’t imagine a 20/30 yr old called Ethel, but it does suit their name theme

2 syllables, to keep the pattern.
Of those already suggested, Clover is too close to Flora, but Daisy, Mabel, Nancy. would work, as they have a different vowel sound from the existing sibling names.
Same rules would apply to a boy's name.

MistletoeRegrets · 30/12/2023 19:20

Rose, or Ivy for a girl.

Below stairs names for boys are a bit trickier. (The ones you suggest seem too contemporary!)

Stanley
Arthur
Albert

That sort of thing …

Rumplestiltz · 30/12/2023 19:20

Ethel must be due a comeback! It’s a great name. It makes me think of the beautiful older sister in Just William

Petra
Alice
