Deaperately need help with baby names

Girl Names

Please help, 2nd daughter is due any day now and we are still sooooo stuck for names!

Our 5 year old is called [name_f]Grace[/name_f] (often referred to as [name_f]Gracie[/name_f])

We like [name_f]Eve[/name_f] (would use [name_f]Evie[/name_f] as a nickname) [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Bethany[/name_f] …but don’t love them like we loved [name_f]Grace[/name_f] and at the moment I can’t imagine standing in the playground calling any of the names. I have casually mentioned [name_f]Eve[/name_f] to a few close friends as it’s our forerunner at present but I just get met with blank faces and not really much positive feedback. We also like names like [name_f]Faith[/name_f], [name_f]Emilie[/name_f], [name_f]Ava[/name_f], [name_f]Eva[/name_f] and [name_f]Millie[/name_f] but can’t use these due to family connections.

We like quite normal names with normal spellings

Can you please help by saying which is your favourite above or adding any other suggestions you think would go nicely with [name_f]Grace[/name_f] or if you know any Graces what their sisters are called

Thank you so much

My favourite from your list is [name_f]Eve[/name_f]. I think it’s classic and simple - you couldn’t go wrong. It’s not trendy, but that’s a good thing.

Some suggestions:
[name_f]Molly[/name_f]
[name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Ada[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Hope[/name_f]
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f]

[name_f]Eve[/name_f] or [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] are lovely! They would go very well with [name_f]Grace[/name_f].

[name_f]Abigail[/name_f]

[name_f]Lily[/name_f]

I think [name_f]Eve[/name_f] is a wonderful sister name for [name_f]Grace[/name_f]. Sometimes people just don’t know what to say when someone is testing out names. I wouldn’t worry about it.

i know Graces with sisters named:
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] (2)
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] (2)
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Joy[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]

[name_f]Grace[/name_f]'s sisters are named [name_f]Anne[/name_f] and [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], but doubt if this helps you.
Short virtue names are easy but most don’t have a good nn like [name_f]Gracie[/name_f].
[name_f]Hope[/name_f], [name_f]Faith[/name_f], [name_u]Love[/name_u], and [name_f]Charity[/name_f].
[name_u]Eden[/name_u], [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Eva[/name_f], [name_f]Mary[/name_f], [name_f]Amy[/name_f], [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_f]Jayne[/name_f] or [name_f]Jane[/name_f] all go with [name_f]Grace[/name_f].
Some modern choices are [name_f]Lark[/name_f], [name_u]Lyric[/name_u], [name_f]Sadie[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and [name_u]Haven[/name_u].
[name_f]Gracie[/name_f] and [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Eva[/name_f] sound well matched.

[name_f]Eve[/name_f] is definitely my favorite here and seems the obvious choice with [name_f]Grace[/name_f].

Given your shortlist here are a few suggestions:
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
[name_f]Hope[/name_f]
[name_f]Mila[/name_f] ([name_f]Millie[/name_f])
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f]/[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Nell[/name_f] ([name_f]Nellie[/name_f])
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Mary[/name_f]/[name_f]Marie[/name_f]

I love [name_f]Eve[/name_f]! Or [name_f]Eva[/name_f]. I know a couple little girls named [name_f]Grace[/name_f], 1 has a sister [name_f]Natalie[/name_f], another has a [name_u]Madison[/name_u]. Other ideas: [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_f]Hannah[/name_f], [name_f]Leah[/name_f], [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Mary[/name_f], [name_f]Lena[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Fiona[/name_f], [name_f]Gloria[/name_f], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. Good luck.

To me [name_f]Eve[/name_f] sounds the perfect match!

I wouldn’t worry about other people not looking overly excited. Nobody’s going to care about the name quite as much as you do anyway, and they probably simply don’t have a strong opinion so long as it’s a nice name. If you get ‘really?!’ or ‘yuk…’ face reactions, then that might be the time to question whether Chlamydia [name_f]Jane[/name_f] or [name_m]Earl[/name_m] [name_m]Montague[/name_m] [name_m]Lancelot[/name_m] are really the best of ideas… but it would be hard to go wrong with [name_f]Eve[/name_f].

I’m sorry I’m struggling to come up with more ideas at the moment if [name_f]Eve[/name_f]'s really not something you ‘love’ in the way you loved [name_f]Grace[/name_f]. I do like some of the suggestions others have posted, quite classic, short, pretty seems to fit. What do you think’s most important to you, along with traditional spellings? Meaning? Sound?

Thank you so much to everyone for the replies and help, it is really appreciated and very helpful xx

I think [name_f]Grace[/name_f] would sound great with:
[name_f]Joy[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]/[name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_u]Alexis[/name_u]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Annalea[/name_f]
[name_f]Ada[/name_f]
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
[name_f]Melody[/name_f]
[name_f]Carolyn[/name_f]

People I know named [name_f]Grace[/name_f] have sisters named:
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_u]Shaun[/name_u]
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f]
[name_f]Mary[/name_f]
[name_u]Gwyn[/name_u]

My first thought was [name_f]Betty[/name_f] - [name_f]Gracie[/name_f] and [name_f]Betty[/name_f]. Full name could be [name_f]Bethany[/name_f] or [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] is also cute.
IDEAS
[name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_f]Marie[/name_f]
[name_f]Anne[/name_f] - [name_f]Annie[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] - [name_f]Meg[/name_f], [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] (I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] these nns! Full name is could be [name_f]Margot[/name_f] too)
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] - [name_f]Janie[/name_f], [name_u]Jay[/name_u]; NICE!
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] - [name_f]Aly[/name_f], [name_u]Lexi[/name_u], [name_f]Lexa[/name_f]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]? [name_u]Jules[/name_u], Ju, [name_u]Julie[/name_u].
[name_f]Sara[/name_f] / [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] - [name_f]Sally[/name_f], [name_f]Sadie[/name_f]? [name_m]Just[/name_m] like [name_f]Kate[/name_f], I think [name_f]Sara[/name_f] + MiddleName would make a cute nn.

I love the name [name_f]Gracie[/name_f]!

[name_f]Gracie[/name_f] and …

[name_f]Evie[/name_f]!! Is stunning
[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Ella[/name_f]

Since [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is a future name… why not another like…

[name_f]Gracie[/name_f] and [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Gracie[/name_f] and [name_f]Verity[/name_f]

Those are both adorable!

Good luck :slightly_smiling_face:
