Sibling for Matilda and Jemima.

Any other suggestions? Can’t have a ‘th’ in because my husband pronounces ‘th’ as ‘f’ 🤦🏼‍♀️

Marigold, Lowenna, Rosalind all lovely, but I'd avoid Marigold as you already have Matilda. To much scope for confusion. Maybe Lowenna if you want to keep up the -a ending? But I love Rosalind too.

I don't care for Florence. I had an aunt called that and she hated it. Sylvie is pretty but I prefer the others.

I voted for Florence, how about, Matilda, Jemima and …

Beatrice (this was my first thought)
Clara
Heidi
Iris
Violet
Harriet
Henrietta
Eliza
Maisie
Penelope (Nellie)
Miriam
Olive
Margot
Rosemary (Romy)

Rosalind is lovely with Matilda & Jemima.

roshi42 · 06/04/2025 21:56

Love Marigold but voted Rosalind as then you don’t have a shared initial. Rosalind sounds lovely with the others.

or how about Rowena?

SkaneTos · 06/04/2025 22:09

They are all good names!

I voted for Rosalind.

Calliopespa · 06/04/2025 22:11

I voted Sylvie.

I like Florence but it’s getting very over-used.

Chunkilumptious · 06/04/2025 22:14

Out of those, Rosalind, not another long -a name. Not essential but it's nicer to break it up a bit

Gall10 · 06/04/2025 22:20

Marigolds? Like the rubber gloves? Really?

No singular, like the flower which has been around much longer than rubber gloves 🧤.

I love Rosalind, it’s one of my favourites. The other two are lovely too.

BoleynMemories13 · 07/04/2025 09:35

When I read the title I was going to vote Rosalind, as a best of the bunch scenario, but it's not really to my taste. Then I saw you also have Florence on your list, which is softer in sound and is a much more similar style to your other girls.

Marigold is dreadful and I would avoid a same initials scenario anyway.

RedOnyx · 07/04/2025 09:55

I love Marigold but agree with previous posters about same initials so voted for Rosalind. I also like Rosalie.

ScentOfAMoomin · 07/04/2025 09:56

What about Rowena?

I also loved Rosalind.

10Pontipines · 07/04/2025 11:03

ScentOfAMoomin · 07/04/2025 09:56

What about Rowena?

I also loved Rosalind.

Our surname starts with a W so felt Rowena W was too W heavy 🥴 Lovely name though.

Sylvie is my favourite girl's name and I also love Rosalind.

KnittedFerret · 07/04/2025 11:37

Lowenna
Rosalind
Florence
all nice, but likely to get shortened. My preference is Rosalind, but Florence goes better with the sisters' names

Don't like:
Marigold - no
Sylvie - 60 yt old French woman

I know a little Sylvie aged about 4. She’s like a little sylvan nymph! It’s beautiful on her!

KnittedFerret · 07/04/2025 11:54

She might be but I don't like the name. Sylvia is even worse.

Karasis · 07/04/2025 12:12

They're all lovely. I think Matilda and Marigold is adorable. But I would probably go Sylvie. Matilda and Sylvie! So sweet.

Karasis · 07/04/2025 12:13

Weird how much people hate Marigold! It's a lovely name and flower in my opinion.
