Sister for Chester?

Just that really! We are after a girl name to go with big brother Chester.

I’m not a fan of really girly names like flower names etc, or the popular, older names like Margot, Florence, Elsie (Old lady names as DH says!), we can’t have anything ending in the a sound (Olivia, Ava, etc.), purely because of our accent! Our surname also counts out anything beginning with L.

Any ideas!?

(That’s mean. Paris is actually a name.)

Actually - the perfect thing would be:

Florence

(Same sort of vibe as Chester.)

Your DH helped choose a really old mannish name for his son but pooh poohs old lady names for his daughter? Strange.

I don't think modern names would go well with Chester. Classics might work. I think veering toward old lady without going all out (Florence) is the way to go.
