That’s where we’re at right now. We’re expecting baby #2 any day now, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on our final four names as we pass the time until her arrival:
[name]Eve[/name]
[name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Tess[/name]
[name]Gwen[/name]
Our last name is similar to Kepler, and big sis is [name]Sloane[/name]. New baby’s middle name will be either [name]Barbara[/name] or [name]Marion[/name], after family members.
Thanks, everyone!
[name]Love[/name] [name]Maeve[/name]! That is on our list for baby #2. Also love your daughter’s name [name]Sloane[/name]! I had that name also on our list for baby #2 but Hubby said no way 
Proud mama to my beautiful daughter ~[name]Morgan[/name] [name]Danielle[/name]~
With [name]Sloane[/name] being so unisex I would stay away from [name]Eve[/name] and [name]Gwen[/name] since they are so feminine. I think [name]Maeve[/name] and [name]Tess[/name] could both pair well with [name]Sloane[/name] since they are similar in feel. I like [name]Marion[/name] better as a middle name then [name]Barbara[/name] but if you are honoring someone then it’s whichever is most important to you. However [name]Maeve[/name] [name]Marion[/name] sounds too much like Maid [name]Marion[/name] from [name]Robin[/name] Hood for my taste and something about [name]Maeve[/name] [name]Barbara[/name] is a bit off. I would recommend [name]Tess[/name] [name]Marion[/name] Kepler which imo is super cute.
This was my sentiments also. I do adore [name]Maeve[/name] and [name]Sloane[/name] together, but neither of the middle name options seem to flow well. So I also support [name]Tess[/name] [name]Marion[/name] as sister to [name]Sloane[/name]! Good luck with labor, and I’ll be looking forward to seeing your update!! 
I love [name]Tessa[/name], but [name]Tess[/name] feels incomplete to me. It’s fantastic, spunky and cool as a nickname though.
With big sister [name]Sloane[/name], my favourite from your list is [name]Maeve[/name] (though I really like [name]Gwen[/name] too). [name]Tessa[/name] would have been my #1 though.
I’m torn between [name]Tess[/name] and [name]Eve[/name]! [name]Eve[/name] [name]Marion[/name] and [name]Tess[/name] [name]Marion[/name] sound nice to me…
[name]Tess[/name] has the edge in that it sounds so perfect with [name]Sloane[/name]…but I love to see someone considering [name]Eve[/name] (not [name]Eva[/name], [name]Ava[/name], etc…). It’s such a solid, strong name.
[name]Tess[/name] [name]Marion[/name] is beautiful and it sounds nice with [name]Sloane[/name]. I think [name]Maeve[/name] would be great as well, but I’m not crazy about it with the mn options.
[name]Maeve[/name] seems old fashioned, eve is overused, [name]Tess[/name] doesn’t sound like a full name how about terra or tessamine. [name]Gwen[/name] is lovely how about gwendolyn?
1 [name]Tess[/name] [name]Marion[/name]
2 [name]Maeve[/name] [name]Barbara[/name]
3 [name]Eve[/name] [name]Marion[/name]
4 [name]Gwen[/name] [name]Barbara[/name]
I love [name]Eve[/name] [name]Marion[/name]! [name]Eve[/name] is beautiful and not common.
I absolutely love the name [name]Gwen[/name], it’s so striking in my opinion. While its my favorite from your list, [name]Sloane[/name] and [name]Gwen[/name] sound slightly awkward together and have completely different vibes. I agree with others that [name]Tess[/name] [name]Marion[/name] would go nicely with big sister, [name]Sloane[/name].
I like [name]Eve[/name] the best, but the only name from your list I’m not fond of is [name]Maeve[/name].
I am in love with [name]Maeve[/name], it is such a gorgeous name! I think it works beautifully with [name]Sloane[/name]. I don’t love either middle name with [name]Maeve[/name] but I wouldnt pick a first name just because it flowed better with a middle name. If [name]Barbara[/name] has meaning for you then [name]Maeve[/name] [name]Barbara[/name] will grow on you more as you remember that person every time you say your daughter’s name (at least that has been my experience with my dd and an honor middle name I didnt [name]LOVE[/name]).
While I like [name]Maeve[/name] better with your last name, it doesn’t fit well with [name]Barbara[/name] or [name]Marion[/name]. My vote’s for [name]Tess[/name] [name]Marion[/name] Kepler
This! I really really love both [name]Tess[/name] and [name]Maeve[/name], both have been on my short lists. If you love them equally then using the full name to help you pick is fine but if you like [name]Maeve[/name] more than [name]Tess[/name] then by all means, pick it! [name]Even[/name] if it doesn’t go as well with the middle name.
[name]Gwen[/name] or [name]Tess[/name]. [name]Tess[/name] probably fits a little better with [name]Sloane[/name].
[name]Tess[/name] [name]Marion[/name] was my first thought before I read the other posts say the same thing 
I also really like [name]Gwen[/name]- [name]Gwen[/name] [name]Barbara[/name] sounds gorgeous, a bit of the black-and-white movie star, but also sounds contemporary.
[name]Tess[/name] [name]Marion[/name] and [name]Gwen[/name] [name]Barbara[/name] are my favourites of the options you’d given, but four names are manageable: I’d take the whole shortlist to the hospital and see what fits her best
The only one I might eliminate is [name]Maeve[/name]. [name]Maeve[/name]'s soft and gentle, highly feminine, old-fashioned Irishness seem a little at odds with the chic, androgynous, and contemporary [name]Sloane[/name]. However, I don’t think stylistic difference should be a deal breaker if you love the name. Having read the other responses I looks like we all can’t agree on which ones fit/don’t fit with [name]Sloane[/name], too… 
[name]Maeve[/name] is my favorite, followed by [name]Gwen[/name].
My vote definitely goes to [name]Eve[/name] [name]Marion[/name]!
I like [name]Maeve[/name] [name]Barbara[/name] with big sis [name]Sloane[/name]. My second pick would be [name]Gwen[/name] [name]Marion[/name]. I don’t think sibling names have to match. I would just pick the name you like the best.
