Gut Reaction - Name His Sister!

We just had our firstborn around a month ago and named him M@xwell D@vis (his middle honors my dad and MIL which we love!).

While I’m not aiming to have [name_u]Irish[/name_u] Twins, I am a longtime name nerd and find myself daydreaming (and sometimes night dreaming!) about his future siblings’ names. We tend to agree on more boy names, but girl names are a tad more challenging.

So, I’d love to hear your initial gut reactions: what would you name a sister to [name_u]Maxwell[/name_u]? [name_m]Feel[/name_m] free to leave true initial reactions as well as some with a little more thought!

Once I get a few replies, I’ll share our girl shortlist from this pregnancy. (I still like a few from it, I think!)

Thanks! :heart:

I know a [name_u]Maxwell[/name_u] with a sister named [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] so my gut reaction took me there first.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps

First thought was [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] :blush:

[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was [name_u]Maxwell[/name_u] and [name_f]Arabella[/name_f], [name_u]Max[/name_u] and [name_f]Bella[/name_f]

Oh gosh [name_u]Maxwell[/name_u] D@v!$ is certainly an amazing name !
The very first name I thought of was [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_u]Maxwell[/name_u] and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_u]Max[/name_u] & [name_u]Mattie[/name_u]

I will also suggest
[name_f]Carys[/name_f]
[name_f]Zara[/name_f]
[name_f]Ardis[/name_f]

Like @Ehrob1, my first thought was [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]. If you’re not bothered my alliterating names I think M@xwell and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] sound pleasing together.

A few other names that came to mind: [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Helena[/name_f] and [name_f]Flora[/name_f].

[name_f]My[/name_f] gut reaction was [name_f]Freya[/name_f], and I have no explanation why!
