Sister for Maeve?

30 replies

We have a daughter called Maeve and are expecting another girl. Really struggling to think of another name! We'd like it to be a bit unusual if possible. Our last name ends in -son so names ending in -on or -en don't work well.

Could you tell me your favourite unusual girls names please? For inspiration?
