Looking for a sibling name help - boy and girl names.

[Siblingnamehelp]

Hi everyone,

I have a DD called Violet. I had a lot of anxiety over her name for a long time (well over a year!) - whether it was the right choice, whether it was a nice name or too harsh, the usual mumsnet thing of it being like Violence etc.

Now expecting again and looking for a sibling name that goes with Violet but nothing unusual or out there as I don’t want the same kind of anxiety over the name again. Cant be a name with an e sound at the end (for example Emily) due to our surname.

Names I like but can’t use:

• Sofia
• Olivia
• Isabelle
• Georgia
• Charlotte
• Elizabeth

• William
• Ryan
• Jack
• James

Please let me know what you think! Already very nervous about the name given the stress it caused last time.

Love the name Violet

how about

Martha
Eleanor
Imogen
Tula
Anna

Harry
Henry
Felix
Alfie
Oliver

Hi everyone, thank you so much for all the replies and for the reassurance on Violet which I unfortunately still need! I think I confused some people in my OP - those names are ones I like but can’t use.

I’ve been through all the responses now. Lots of great ideas.

for girls I really like Alice, Clara, Hazel, Eloise, Robin and Mabel.

for boys (always harder!) Oliver, Noah and Rowan.

another one I’ve heard recently for a girl - interested for views.

Lia

Love your new shortlists! Especially Alice, Clara and Mabel, Oliver and Noah.

Lia is so pretty - love it! (As long as you don’t mind correcting the spelling from Leah).

The names you like are all classic, maybe slightly retro. So you might also like:

Eliza
Matilda
Laura
Lilian
Helena
Rachel

Jacob
Steven
Alan
Malcolm
Craig
Daniel

Help with names pleaaass, both genders as we’re not finding out. 2 big brothers called Harris & Rudi 😊
