I posted this over on the siblings forum, but it’s not getting any responses. We have 3 kids. [name_u]Noah[/name_u] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] and [name_m]Eli[/name_m] [name_m]Adriel[/name_m] (twins) and [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_u]Joan[/name_u]. I realize they are all biblical but not intentionally. [name_u]Noah[/name_u] and [name_m]Eli[/name_m] worked well together as twin names and we just happened to really like [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]. All middle names are after a family member.
We are expecting a girl in [name_u]March[/name_u]. We don’t like any of the remaining female Bible names, or if we do someone else in the family has already used it. We feel choosing a biblical name just so she fits in with the other names is kind of lame - we don’t want her to have a name we don’t love just to fit into some list. We like short, strong names that are still feminine. Our top 2 are [name_f]Anne[/name_f] (would call her [name_f]Annie[/name_f]) and [name_f]Zoe[/name_f]. [name_f]Anna[/name_f] is biblical and [name_f]Annie[/name_f] is a variant of that. [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] is actually the Greek translation of [name_f]Eve[/name_f] meaning life so also has a biblical connection of sorts. Her middle name will be [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] as an honor name.
Any thoughts on these names with the other names in our family? Any other suggestions?
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is gorgeous and I love that it is connected to [name_f]Eve[/name_f] (that’s the reason it’s one of our faves).
I think [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] works best with [name_u]Noah[/name_u], [name_m]Eli[/name_m] and [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]. [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is beautiful and more exciting than [name_f]Anne[/name_f]/[name_f]Annie[/name_f] [name_f]IMO[/name_f].
I agree. [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is lovely and works really well with [name_u]Noah[/name_u], [name_m]Eli[/name_m] and [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]
I love [name_f]Anne[/name_f] with nn [name_f]Annie[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] too I just think [name_f]Anne[/name_f] fits the classic vibe of your other children’s names. [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] seems more trendy and popular to me. [name_f]Anne[/name_f] and [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] are beautiful classics. They compliment each other in terms of style, history, and popularity. I would go with [name_f]Anne[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f].
I think both would fit wonderfully with your set, which is surprising to me because [name_f]Anne[/name_f] and [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] seem so different! I really adore the nn [name_f]Annie[/name_f], so that gets my vote!
I like the idea of [name_f]Annie[/name_f] and I think the name should be [name_f]Anna[/name_f] because [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_f]Sara[/name_f] are just beautiful together!
I love [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] (or [name_f]Chloe[/name_f]) with your others! [name_f]Anne[/name_f] is way too plain for my taste. It does go well with [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] though…
