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?

I really like 'Harriet'. There was a really beautiful girl singer in an indie band when I was young called that. Classic but also quite unusual.

Isabel
Emma
Lily
(big gap)
Violet
Daisy

In that order. Isabel is not as popular as it used to be and is pretty, classic, yet elegant. I’ve never been a huge fan of Emma for some reason but I’ve got to agree it’s very classic and simple and so works well with the sisters names too.

Lily has such as pretty sound (it’s only not higher in the list as both May and Lily are floral names so maybe Alice is a bit odd one out) and feels more classic to me than Violet and Daisy. Violet sounds a bit harsh and Daisy is quite cutesy/pet name to me.

Isabel is nice but she’ll be driven mad by the spelling variations!

I feel like Emmie would be good too - just something a bit different.

Thank you all we have discussed it more tonight and decided our short list is

Alice, May and Emma
Alice, May and Daisy
Alice, May and Isabel
Alice, May and Violet
Alice, May and Lily

Anyone have any thoughts or preferences on these?

Lily is a bit meh. There are so many of them.

I love Isabel, Violet, and Daisy.
I think Isabel and Violet tie for first from your list, with Daisy second.
Emma is nice but a little plain alongside Alice and May.

Alice, May, and Isabel/ Violet
Alice. May, and Daisy
