Recently found out we are expecting our third baby girl. Our two girls are called Alice and May.

We have a list but none we can really use!!

  • Emily
  • Isabel (we could use this)
  • Eve
  • Lucy (DH less a fan)
  • Lydia
  • Emma

Does anyone have any other name suggestions we might like?

My Mother in law was called Alice.. her two sisters were called May and Ivy.
So Ivy?
Also my neice is called Alice her sister is Lucy.
Lucy?

Freya does not go..
But that is not the correct spelling.. it's been altered for the reasons l cannot work out..
It's Freyja.. The Viking Goddess of love and fertility.

I like a floral name with Alice and May. Daisy is nice, or Flora.

Yes, we know 🙄

But the more common spelling is Freya. I think it goes well, and know a Freya with one of those sibling names and another for a middle name 🤷‍♀️

Another one... Eleanor.

Show quote history

I also know sibsets - Alice and Freya x 2, so they do go and I completely agree (as someone who's taught thousands of girls here in the UK over the last 20 years) that it's spelled Freya most (99%?) of the time here.

Thanks guys,
Really like Grace, Eliza and Violet. DH will say no to Grace and Violet I think, not sure on Eliza.

What do people think of Alice, May and Isabel?

Josephine
Harriet
Flora
Lucy
Tess
Estelle
Julia

Alice, May, and Isobel is a nice combination.

SoOutingWhoCares · 04/03/2024 16:30

I prefer the spelling Isobel but it certainly works.

Just thought of another, Helena.

Runnerduck34 · 04/03/2024 16:55

Violet?

lioneggs · 04/03/2024 17:17

Those are all lovely names. I don't know why but when I read Alice and May, the name Grace came into my head immediately.

Same for me!

Laura.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 04/03/2024 18:29

Alice, May and Rachel

Eviebeans · 04/03/2024 18:34

Violet
Evie

PiggieWig · 04/03/2024 18:35

Josie was the first name that came to my mind. I adore Josephine and think it’s of a similar vibe to your other DDs.

Zephyry · 04/03/2024 18:37

Kitty sprung to mind. Katherine nn Kitty
Or Elizabeth nn Lizzie

dandeliondaisy · 04/03/2024 18:37

Daisy? Alice and May are my Daisy's middle names x
