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! Always been my favourite name but never got to use it.

I like Lara or Beatrice with a slight preference for Beatrice. All lovely choices though.

Lara Isabel is my fave of the three.
Do you like Saoirse Isabel? Another Irish name with Maeve.

Beatrice! It’s beautiful. I’m not keen on Lara (I don’t like the sound, and also think Croft) or Sasha. What about Larissa instead of Lara?

Lara

Normallynumb · 08/07/2024 14:18

Saoirse is gorgeous, by the way!

@user1492757084 Not a fan of Saoirse at all I’m afraid. I’d love another Irish name but just can’t find any that I adore quite as much as Maeve! Considered Fiadh but where we are spelling and pronunciation would be an issue.

@Teamarugula Larissa has quite a ‘hissy’ sound to it that I don’t like. A bit too frilly for DH and I’s taste.

Lara as it has mythological links like Maeve and also fits nicely as a sibset as they are both short and simple. 2nd choice classic Beatrice. Not Sasha - too nickname compared to Maeve.

Lara is best from your list. I always feel like Saskia should have red hair and it is quite hard name.
