Congratulations! I love [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Briar[/name_f], but they’re all pretty choices. So,
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f] - I love the nickname [name_u]Lou[/name_u], so cute. I am not a massive fan of the middle name [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f], but that’s just not my style. I think [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] is beautiful, elegant and timeless, and suits a middle name similar to [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f] which does a good job of balancing the name. The flow doesn’t seem 100% to me however.
I picture a spunky, mature little girl with this name.

[name_f]Clover[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]- I think this is a pretty name, and the first name suits a middle name like [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. [name_f]Clover[/name_f] again isn’t my style but I can see its appeal. I picture a free spirited happy little girl with this name.

[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]- I love the nickname [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], very sweet. The name [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] has negative connotations for me, but I don’t mind it, I also think of the herb. But [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] is gorgeous, and paired with [name_u]June[/name_u] I love it. I picture an adorable, pretty and lively little girl with this name.

[name_f]Briar[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]- this is my favourite. I love the name [name_f]Briar[/name_f] paired with [name_f]Kate[/name_f], the flow works nicely. I call my kids by both their first and middle names frequently, so I definitely consider the way they sound together. I can see an energetic, funny little girl here.

All beautiful choices. Best of luck!

[name_f]Briar[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] is my favourite because I think it stands up to cool [name_m]Rocky[/name_m]. I think [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] seem much more traditional and tame next to [name_m]Rocky[/name_m] so I don’t like them as much. I prefer [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] nn [name_f]Cady[/name_f] to [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f] as well.
[name_f]Clover[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is lovely but I know a lot of people look down on [name_f]Clover[/name_f] and think it doesn’t age well. It’s my second favourite though.

I voted on [name_f]Clover[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] - it simply stood out to me as the most special. I love the sweet but plucky nature of [name_f]Clover[/name_f], especially when it’s tempered by the traditional [name_f]Jane[/name_f].

I like [name_f]Briar[/name_f] and [name_f]Clover[/name_f]. I dislike double barrelled names, [name_f]Briar[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] sounds perfectly fine as a first-middle combo. I don’t like [name_f]Jane[/name_f], which is why I didn’t vote [name_f]Clover[/name_f].

[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] is so beautiful. [name_f]Briar[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] would be my second choice, cute and spunky!

My favorite is [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f]. Although I would personally prefer [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]/[name_f]Louise[/name_f] [name_f]Clover[/name_f]. If things could be switched around, I adore [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Clover[/name_f].

I like [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u], and the nn [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], but I think [name_f]Clover[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is lovely paired with Rockford [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] - especially loving the [name_f]Jane[/name_f] part - and I think they go well together.

I love [name_f]Clover[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. [name_m]Rocky[/name_m] & [name_f]Clover[/name_f]. I also love [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] but [name_m]Rocky[/name_m] & [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] are a bit similar. Good luck!

I love [name_f]Clover[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]! It sounds so fresh and it’s great next to her brother’s name

[name_f]Clover[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] has the best flow and also sounds best with your last name. Of these choices, it best blends classic and uncommon names. I personally would avoid a single syllable nn or first name with a single syllable surname. I think [name_f]Briar[/name_f]-[name_f]Kate[/name_f] is trying too hard to be cool.

I voted for [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] because I absolutely [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] the name [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]. I think it’s gorgeous. A close second for me would have been [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f] because I think [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] is adorable as well.

I voted for [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f]! [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] is so underused and [name_u]Lou[/name_u] is cute and spunky next to [name_m]Rocky[/name_m].

[name_f]Clover[/name_f] is ok, but to me it is a weed that overtakes our grass - haha!

I’m just not a fan of the [name_f]Rose[/name_f] names, sorry. Absolutely nothing wrong with it though!

And do you like [name_f]Briar[/name_f] enough if she was just called [name_f]Briar[/name_f]? If not, I’d reconsider. I think it can be difficult to make double names stick.

All very good choices though, I think any would be a nice sister for your [name_m]Rocky[/name_m]. Good luck!

I love [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]. I really dislike [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f] with [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]. I would rather see [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f].

Oh, wow. Most beautiful choices! You couldn’t go wrong with any of them. I couldn’t (and still can’t) pick between [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] and [name_f]Clover[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. I only went with [name_f]Clover[/name_f] because it was the first one to catch my eye. So they tie for first. Although, I like [name_f]Rose[/name_f] more for a nn for [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] because [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] and [name_m]Rocky[/name_m] sound too close, while [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_m]Rocky[/name_m] sounds fine.

[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f] would be next, although I do like the suggestion from malloryknox, [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] nn Cady. I think it would flow better and Cady is a super cute nn, then again, so is [name_u]Lou[/name_u].

[name_f]Briar[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] would be last. It’s not because I don’t like it, I just like it the least out of all the names. But if you do choose [name_f]Briar[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f], well, like flowermae said, do you like [name_f]Briar[/name_f] enough for her just to be called [name_f]Briar[/name_f]? Because I think a lot of people would get mistaken and call her just [name_f]Briar[/name_f], not that [name_f]Briar[/name_f]-[name_f]Kate[/name_f] is bad or anything, because it’s actually lovely.

You really can’t go wrong with any of these names, they are all absoloutely wonderful and all go well with your son’s name and last name. Good luck!

I voted for [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]. [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] is such a sweet name, and I like the nn [name_f]Rosie[/name_f].

I was going to vote for [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] but I felt like maybe [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] & [name_m]Rocky[/name_m] ‘R-eye-s’ is too many Rs? Depends what you think, obviously. I think [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f] is gorgeous, too, and [name_u]Lou[/name_u] is super cute! You can’t go wrong, really. :slight_smile:

[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] is a classic name you can’t really go wrong with that and [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] is a very lovely name in its own right (as well as nn)… the others I’m not as keen on I think [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is vastly over-used ([name_f]Clover[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] may have gotten my vote though)… [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f] had too many As in it for me I feel clunky saying it and [name_f]Briar[/name_f]-[name_f]Kate[/name_f] is very cool actually, refreshing take on the disneyfied [name_f]Briar[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] so that could also be a winner!

If it was me I’d probably go with [name_f]Briar[/name_f]-[name_f]Kate[/name_f] as I think it’s a name a child would really own, it’s almost iconic.

I voted for [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] because I love the sound of it, but hadn’t really considered the R-heavy sibset and surname issue until I read another reply. I think that two R names with an R surname would be a bit matchy. I don’t like double-barrelled names, so for me that leaves the choice between [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f] and [name_f]Clover[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] - I like them both about the same.

Asking us to choose a favourite is such a mean question! [name_m]How[/name_m] to choose between [name_f]Clover[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]?!
I absolutely adore them both. I would name a daughter either in a heartbeat.

In terms of combos I probably slightly prefer [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] to [name_f]Clover[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] – by half an inch – as [name_f]Clover[/name_f] seems more rustic and whimsy than [name_f]Jane[/name_f], which feels quite smart and dapper. For a similar simple old-fashioned middle name for [name_f]Clover[/name_f] I would go with [name_f]Clover[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f].

[name_f]Briar[/name_f] is also very evocative, but I’m personally not fond of [name_f]Kate[/name_f], especially without a long form. That’s just my personal bias, though. :slight_smile:
