Recently found out that we will be having another DD - she will be a sister for Maeve

DH and I have agreed on either Lara, Sasha or Beatrice. Middle name will be Isabel.

Opinions please!

Lara 😍

StormingNorman · 07/07/2024 22:31

Beatrice Isobel

Lara

ToffeenutLatte · 07/07/2024 22:44

Beatrice would definitely be my choice. It has a lovely meaning too - bringer of joy.

greenblueredyellowviolet · 07/07/2024 22:47

Lara is lovely!
I think Sasha is not as nice because it's also a russian male name, and Beatrice to me is a little frumpier compared with Lara.

I like them all, but my favourite is Lara.

AphraBean · 07/07/2024 23:09

In order I like

Lara
Sasha
Beatrice

spiderlight · 07/07/2024 23:26

Lara is my favourite.

BoleynMemories13 · 07/07/2024 23:28

Lara is gorgeous! Next choice would be Sasha. Agree with the above that Beatrice sounds 'frumpy'. I'm not a fan at all.

Lara is fabulous though 👍🏻

Pipecleanerrevival · 07/07/2024 23:29

Maeve and Lara

WaitingForMojo · 07/07/2024 23:31

In order of preference

Beatrice
Lara
Sasha

SkaneTos · 07/07/2024 23:42

Lara, Sasha and Beatrice are all beautiful names.
They all sound good together with Maeve.

HalfwayToHell · 07/07/2024 23:58

I like Lara.

Theoldwoman · 08/07/2024 00:48

Lara Isobel

RhetoricalRectangle · 08/07/2024 01:40

Another vote for Lara

Aquamarine1029 · 08/07/2024 01:43

Lara. I really dislike Beatrice.

TerrorOwls · 08/07/2024 01:54

Before I even opened your thread, the name Isabel came to my mind!
Lara is lovely.

Now I'm going to think about next weeks lottery numbers.

AdaColeman · 08/07/2024 02:52

Beatrice.

I'm not keen on the other names.
Have you considered Saskia, a similar vibe to Sasha, but so much prettier?

Not a fan of Saskia, I find it very harsh compared to Sasha. Just shows how subjective names are!

Lara

Lara. There is an Irish version of Lara that would go nicely with Maeve, but you might not want DD2 to have to deal with silent 'gh'. (Laragh).
