Baby sister for Benjamin

[Tulip292]

Hello!

Currently 35 weeks and expecting a baby girl and we’re pretty stuck on names!
Big brother is Benjamin (or Benji) and we have a two syllable surname.

To give an idea of the sort of names we like…
Names that are “on the list” but we’re still a bit on the fence about are Imogen (unsure if this sounds too much with Benjamin?!), Alice and Sophia.
I love Sienna, Lottie and Ava but husband isn’t keen. He really likes Millie or Hannah..but again I’m not convinced.

Any suggestions would be most gratefully received!

Jemima

Mia

Weirdly before I read your post I thought ‘Hannah’ and so was happy to see this was on your husband’s list. Benjamin and Hannah go really well together. Millie is also a very sweet name, although maybe less suited to a woman than Hannah which I can imagine working at all ages.

sienna, Lottie, Ava are all much less classy and much more common now. They’d be one of several in the class whereas Hannah is classic but not so commonly used at the moment.

I know one with a little sister called Felicity which I think is a great combination

I like Sienna and Hannah the best

Benjamin and Jemima is very cute!

Maybe too similar?

Alice or Hannah.

Ben and Jem ❤

@Muthaofcats I agree with you!

Alice is lovely

Hannah is my favourite of your choices. Ava is probably second but it’s much more popular and I don’t think it works that well with Benjamin (which I love). Lottie would be nice as a nickname for Charlotte. I don’t like Millie, and I really don’t like Sienna.

How about Anna, Alice or Elizabeth (Libby)?

I thought Alice before I even fully read your post. It goes nicely. My other suggestions are:

Louisa
Elizabeth / Libby
Freya

Imogen - will be Immy
Alice - like it a lot
Sophia - overused
Sienna - don't like it
Lottie - ok if short for Charlotte
Ava - dislike it
Millie - not keen
Hannah - like it

Benjamin is a popular classic - so similar style names on your list would be Hannah (Biblical like Benjamin so probably quite a common sibset choice) and Alice.

Sienna, Ava, Lottie and Millie are all quite trendy in comparison so personally wouldn’t be my choice with her brothers name.

Sophia is lovely but very very popular (by the time you count the Sophie’s and Sofia’s too).

Imogen does kind of rhyme with Benjamin when spoken - but does that really matter? I don’t think it sounds ridiculous if it’s your favourite - I just find Hannah, Alice or Sophia/Sophie are a slightly better “match” in style to me.

Other similar style names to Benjamin for me (classic and/or Biblical):
Lydia
Abigail
Emily
Charlotte
Anna
Maria
Sarah
Julia
Rebecca

I love Imogen and Alice! They go really well with Benjamin. Sophia is nice too if you don’t mind the popularity.

Alice goes perfectly.

First name that came to mind for me was Penelope for some reason

I like Charlotte though (nn lottie) and Hannah too

I love Imogen but for sound reasons rather than vibe reasons I wouldn’t pair it up with Benjamin.

Benjamin and Alice are perfect.…further ideas
