I have twin girls called Eva and Lily and due my 3rd girl in a few weeks time. We cant decide on a name. Only 2 we like so far are Ivy and Rose. We like short names really. We are British so like to stay to British names ideally. Any ideas?

Rose sounds perfect. Ivy might get a bit tricky to say with Eva

Ivy is lovely but it's a bit like you've just mashed Eva and Lily together. I think it could be a bit of a tongue twister calling them all together.

I prefer Ivy of the two, but Rose goes better.

Ivy and Eva sound too similar. Do you want another flower? Hope Kate Beth Annie Zara Susie Leah Emma Ida

I think Ivy 'goes better' with Eva and Lily. If you think that matters.

I do love timeless classic Rose. Less keen on Ivy with your other girls names (plus it’s more trendy as part of the “retro” fad- Eva and Lily are a bit more classic).

But if you want an alternative to Rose because you aren’t sure about another floral name, then Grace also seems to work really well as a sibset with Eva and Lily?

Rose goes best with Eva & Lily. Beautiful names @BubblePug1985! and congratulations.
I think Eva, Lily & Ada and Eva, Lily & Iris would also be lovely 😊

I personally wouldn't use another floral name with Lily. Won't Eva feel left out?

Rose of your picks as Ivy is too close to Eva. Alice, Grace, Scarlett or Clara are other options.

Eva and Ivy are too close to be a possibility.

Rose and Lily are both flowers, making Eva the odd one out.

I like Ivy a lot but I think it sounds a bit too similar to Eva. How about Iris instead? Rose is lovely too.

Eva, Lily and Rose sound the best.

If not Rose ..
