Hi,

Does anyone have any suggestions of a girls name that goes well with, Emily, Katie and Evie? These are the dd's I already have and am really stuck what to call the new baby.

thanks
Linda

I love your DD's names! 1 is my DD's name and the other 2 were on my short list!

I like Matilda and Florence best of the other names suggested on here although Rebecca and Anna are lovely too. Matilda is nice as can be shortened to Tilly or Matty which would keep in with the ie/y sound of your other girls' names.

Personally I wouldn't choose Phoebe because although I love the name, it rhymes with Evie...

right I have it

absolutely HAS to be Octavia

as she'll be the 8th member of your family

ggirlsbells · 16/12/2008 00:39

nah
people will get all confused and wonder where the other 2 kids are

and you'd have to keep saying "no you see ,she's the 8th member of the family..not the 8th child" until you'd want to stab the next person who asked ..so you end up calling her olivia

back to the drawing board

JacksFirstChristmasMama · 16/12/2008 01:15

Jane (a one-syllable name to round them out: Emily, Katie, Evie and Jane)
or Rose (ditto above)
Annabelle
Isabelle
Audrey
for some old-fashioned content

Your other girls' names are lovely BTW, congratulations on DD#4!

I came across this website on another thread which looks pretty good.

It suggests baby names which go with names you already have.

I put DD's name in and it suggested DS's name!

aGalChangedHerName · 16/12/2008 07:14

How about Eilidh?

bessmum · 16/12/2008 12:04

Actually Rachel goes really well with your other kids' names and is lovely

Why do they have to go together? At most they'll spend 18 years as a 'unit' - and the eldest will have gone long before that. Just give them names you like and that will be bearable for them once they are adults. A name is for life, not just childhood!

(Sorry if that sounds , not intended, but I see a lot of threads where people want names for babies or that will be 'lovely' for children - but they will be adults a lot longer (DV). I am especially about the fashion for 'old lady' names for little girls - v cute now, but in 60 years' time you've got a bunch of old ladies with old lady names. Then again, maybe that will be much more dignified than a bunch of 70yr olds with 'quirky' names (and I speak as one who has an archetypally 60s name which is going to look really dumb when I am 90...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I love Lucy and Mia, can't use Lucy as sil just has though. I'm going to go through the other suggestions now and make a list. Dh has said he still wants Rachel (which is growing on me) or Bryony, which I'm really not sure about.

FWIW I really like Rachel. Hope you find something you both like.

NotanOtter · 16/12/2008 22:52

go for Rachel

BlueChampagne · 17/12/2008 13:30

Rachel is good. How about:

Laura
Helen
Rebecca
Fiona

FIMBOingaroundtheChristmasTree · 17/12/2008 13:33

Rachel is my dd's name.

Jilly

Lucy

Miranda

Susannah

Jennifer

Lorna

NotanOtter · 17/12/2008 22:02

fimbo you have just named my first and second names!!! THANKYOU!

loobylu3 · 18/12/2008 09:45

That's strange because FIMBO has named my 1st and 2nd names today. However, OP has already said she can't have Lucy.

NotanOtter · 18/12/2008 21:54
