Girls name to match Eve

[Evmamai]

Hi all, we have a toddler named Eve and are expecting a second baby girl in March. We found picking Eve’s name super easy and even now she suits it’s so well. Her full name is Eve Alexandra.
Our shortlist right now is

• Zara
• May
• Isla
• Grace

However none feel quite right, I love May but DH worries that two single syllable 3 letter names is a bitch match. I also love Isla but it is very popular. DH loves Grace but I went to school with. Girl who was cruelly nicknamed “Greasy Grace” and now I hear grease when ever I hear Grace. Zara is another of my preferences but DH says it makes him think of the shop!

So any ideas or suggestions? Our surname is McManus.

Great Neice called Eve (age 6) Sister age 3 called Sophia.

Eve and Imogen
Eve and Naomi
Eve and Matilda
Eve and Isobel (or any variant)
Eve and Ruby
Eve and Claire
Eve and Clara
Eve and Kate
Eve and Ruth
Eve and Diana
Eve and Hazel
Eve and Lucy

dare I suggest… Eve and Dawn 😄

I do like Sophia but I find it a little “frilly” and prefer 1 or 2 syllable names. We don’t really love the Amelia/Olivia/Isabella/Sophia names and they are really popular at our DDs nursery.

Elodie

I think May is lovely and don’t see an issue with 2 1-syllable names. They inhabit their own name so quickly that it soon becomes the thing that means them, rather than an abstract name (if that makes any sense!)

Lydia came to mind for me

Eve & Rose
Eve & Rae
Eve & Lyra
Eve & Anne/Annie

Ivy
Zoe
Mia
Daisy
Lucy

Rosie
Callie
Ruby
Ailsa
Zoe
Kate

This may not help but my Ds was going to be Eve if he was a girl , my other favourite names for a girl was Miranda or Amelia

May is lovely.

You definitely need a one syllable name.

Noelle
Alba
Seren
Natalie
Lucia

Isabella
Imogen
Dora
Emily
Jasmine

May is nice and think doesnt matter both 3 letters
What about Faye?

The Eve I know has a sister called Beatrice (Bea) - I always think Eve and Bea sound gorgeous together!

I love May too - it’s got that classic, pretty simplicity like Eve and is so underused for a first name. I think that two one syllable names sounds lovely ☺️

Isla and Grace are nice but so many of them round here.

Or do you like

My first thought before I read your list was Isla!
Other options
Rose
Alice
Lucy
Rebecca
Kate

Lilith.

I think I like May best from your list. Also like the suggestions of Zoe and Rose.

I think May would be lovely and not too popular as a first name. I know sisters called Clare and Grace and no one commented on them both being single syllable or the same length. They're sisters yes but will be out in the world separately so it's more important you love each name.

Or how about June, Alice, Thea, Joy, Faye, Iris

Eve & Lottie
Eve & Holly
Eve & Lucy
Eve & Caitlin
Eve & Charlotte
Eve & Mabel
Eve & Willow
Eve & Georgia
Eve & Violet
Eve & Matilda
Eve & Katie
Eve & Penelope
Eve & Skye
Eve & Mia

Jean or Jane or Janet
Iona (also Ailsa )
Helen/ Nell
Marion
Ruth
I really like Maud for a dignified, short and simple name, but it's not everyone's cup of tea
Mary
Sine/Sheena
Rhona
Ailis/Ailish

What's a bitch match?

I just assumed it was an autocorrect gone wrong - ‘bit too matchy’.

Faye.
