Looking for a sibling name to work with Edith

[HollyB33]

Who knew it would be so hard to find a name to fit with our daughters: Edith Isla! We quite like older/slightly unique names but any help would be appreciated please!

For girls so far we have: Aubrey, Alba, Wren, Esme, Freya, Nell, Elodie.

For boys: Axel, Otto, Albie, Atticus, Barnaby

A lot of your choices actually seem quite modern. I think Nell and Barnaby go the best, although personally I would find a longer version to shorten to Nell. Helena is my favourite but Eleanor or Penelope would also work. Albie works well with Edith too, but only with Albert as a full name.

I would imagine Edith to have a sibling called something like Iris, Nancy, Nora, Martha, Clara, Stanley, George, Henry, Arthur, Alfred etc.

Violet is another with would work well with Edith.

Agree with all of this!

Love Edith and Eleanor, Helena or Penelope (Nell). I quite like Esme and Freya too, although they seem more modern. For Boys, I like Barnaby from your list. I think Henry, George or Alfred would be lovely too.

Mary and Sybil work well. Along with Violet and Cora. All the boys names on the list are pretty awful, though.

Clarice, Cecily, Rose, Clementine.

Edward (Ted) Arthur, Albert (Berty), Frank, Cecil.

I'd imagine

Nancy - I love this one!
Betty
Violet - also love
I think Juliette would work too

Barnaby- love
Henry
George
William
Alfred - my personal fave
Albert nn bertie, albie

I know a toddler Edith with a sister named Felicity.
I would expect Edith's siblings to also have older, classic names. Yours mostly sound quite modern. Names that would "match" for me:
Audrey (rather than Aubry)
Margaret
Alice
Esther
Ada
Ellen
Iris
Catherine
Marianne
Julia
Elizabeth
Lydia
Charlotte
Jane
Hilda
Agatha

Arthur
Alan
William
Thomas
Robert
Frederick
Carl
Timothy
Benjamin
Jacob
Henry
Jonathan
Alexander
Ernest (I don't like it but Edith and Ernest just sound like siblings to me(
George

Florence
Louisa
Arthur
Edward

Mary

Aubrey is traditionally a boy's name

Don’t use another name beginning with E. Having siblings with the same initial is an absolute ball ache! The amount of appointment reminders/ music lesson invoices/ letters and so on addressed to ‘Miss E. Whatever’ gives me the absolute rage.

I spend my life shouting things like ‘BUT WHICH ONE needs the eye test????’ ‘WHICH ONE injured their head at asc and needs monitoring?’
Grrrr

Edith & Clara

Edith & Quentin

These names spring to mind:

Sylvia
Ruth
Rosemary
Evelyn
Violet
Ivy
Audrey
Eliza
Elsie

George
Bertie (Albert)
Edward ( but Eddie as a nn too close to Edith)
Theodore
Francis
Vincent (Vince not vinny as nn)

Oh and Wilfred!

I like Esmé and Nell, also Frances (nn Frankie) and Rose.

Jack
Edward (Ted)
Alfred (Freddy)
Arthur
