Thread Closed. Thanks!
I really like all the names on your list, especially [name]Ingrid[/name], [name]Louisa[/name], [name]Margaret[/name], [name]Ramona[/name], [name]Jean[/name], and [name]Mary[/name]. [name]How[/name] about:
[name]Jane[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Tabitha[/name]
[name]Astrid[/name]
[name]Clarice[/name]
[name]Anne[/name]
[name]Blythe[/name]
[name]Louise[/name]
[name]Ingrid[/name]- Sorry but this sounds a little ‘granny chic to me’
[name]Louisa[/name]- [name]LOVE[/name] this! Very classic and cute
[name]Jemima[/name]- Reminds me of the syrup… sorry.
[name]Margaret[/name]- This is pretty, I like [name]Marjorie[/name] as opposed to [name]Margaret[/name], not sure how you feel about that
[name]Ramona[/name]- This is a sweet name for a little girl and would age well
[name]Sabina[/name]- Reminds me of [name]Sabrina[/name]… personally do not like it
[name]Tessa[/name]- This is gorgeous and would age very well
[name]Jean[/name]- A little to ‘retro’ in my opinion.
[name]Mary[/name]- Also along the lines of granny names… [name]Mary[/name] also means bitter…yuck
[name]Brigid[/name]- Beautiful, although I prefer the Irish name [name]Bridgett[/name]. Not sure how you feel about taht one!
Thanks for your suggestions! I appreciate them!
Also, do these go with [name]Peter[/name]? [name]Do[/name] they age well?
I love [name]Louisa[/name] best–timeless, unusual, and perfect with [name]Peter[/name]. I think it’s a stand out!! [name]Love[/name] love love. I like [name]Ramona[/name] with [name]Peter[/name], too; it has a sweet literary history and could, if you are fans of the Ramones, perhaps connect your husband’s rock and roll interests. [name]Both[/name] age well [name]IMO[/name]. I like [name]Jemima[/name], [name]Brigid[/name] (or [name]Bridget[/name]), and [name]Tessa[/name] a lot, too, but find them a tad less striking 
[name]Mary[/name] and [name]Margaret[/name] are okay, but when put with [name]Peter[/name], the sibset starts to sound sort of blandly traditional, not refreshing. I think [name]Margo/name has a similar sound and is classic, unusual, and would work well overseas. [name]Sabina[/name] has always felt incomplete to me; [name]Ingrid[/name] feels rather foreign next to timeless [name]Peter[/name]. I can’t say I care for either one, but I don’t mind them. [name]Jean[/name] feels granny-chic to me, plus [name]Peter[/name] and [name]Jean[/name] are a lot of “ee” together. I like [name]Peter[/name] and [name]Jane[/name] better! Besides [name]Margo/name and [name]Jane[/name], you might also consider [name]Peter[/name] and [name]Diana[/name], [name]Jillian[/name], [name]Eliza[/name], [name]Clara[/name], or [name]Martha[/name]. Best of luck!
I love [name]Jemima[/name], [name]Sabina[/name], [name]Tessa[/name], and [name]Ramona[/name]! I also liked the suggestions of [name]Jane[/name] and [name]Diana[/name]. Maybe also [name]Nora[/name], [name]Elise[/name], [name]Claire[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Heidi[/name], [name]Anna[/name], [name]Isabel[/name], [name]Anne[/name], [name]Lucille[/name], [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Agatha[/name], [name]Tabitha[/name], [name]Zara[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], [name]Laura[/name].
My favorites with [name]Peter[/name] and your other concerns are [name]Louisa[/name] and [name]Margaret[/name]. They are classic and timeless. There are lots of nns and versions of these or something close if you live overseas as well.
[name]Ingrid[/name] - is a very nice name, but feels very crunchy/granola in a way that isn’t timeless to me, pushes the sibset in a Scandinavian direction it might be hard to keep going
[name]Louisa[/name] - love this name and it’s a good timeless match to [name]Peter[/name]!
[name]Jemima[/name] - too many loaded associations in the US to be timeless. Plus, a [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Potter[/name] character, much like [name]Peter[/name] Rabbit. A bit much.
[name]Margaret[/name] - I really like this, but mildly think it might be too traditional as a previous poster said.
[name]Ramona[/name] - I quite like this! I think this could be what you’re looking for.
[name]Sabina[/name] - I like the name, it’s a lot of “ee” with [name]Peter[/name].
[name]Tessa[/name] - great name, goes with what you’re looking for
[name]Jean[/name] - too “granny chic” for what you want I think.
[name]Mary[/name] - I love this name, however with [name]Peter[/name], it seems to be begging the question “where’s [name]Paul[/name]” ? : D
[name]Brigid[/name] - seems to set child up for spelling and prn problems…
I’d like to suggest [name]Johanna[/name] for you, and maybe [name]Alice[/name], [name]Matilda[/name], and [name]Hazel[/name].
I think [name]Anna[/name] would be perfect for you, and from your list [name]Tessa[/name].
[name]Love[/name] [name]Ramona[/name], [name]Sabina[/name], [name]Tessa[/name] from your list!

Thanks for all your great suggestions everyone! I knew you’d pull through can’t wait to run them by my husband

[name]Louisa[/name]- I love this name, and it matches nicely with your sons name!
[name]Jemima[/name]- too strongly associated, can only be Aunt or Kahn to me. Makes me think [name]Gemma[/name], [name]Jemma[/name], [name]Araminta[/name], [name]Arabella[/name], [name]Amaya[/name]
[name]Margaret[/name]- I don’t like [name]Maggie[/name], but [name]Margaret[/name] is OK. I like [name]Marjorie[/name] better. Makes me think [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Anna[/name]- those 3 are so classic/neutral
[name]Ramona[/name]- [name]Love[/name] it. Makes me think [name]Simone[/name], [name]Naomi[/name], [name]Nina[/name], [name]Beatrice[/name], [name]Rosemary[/name].
[name]Sabina[/name]- cute I like [name]Sabine[/name] more. Makes me think [name]Serena[/name], [name]Sabrina[/name], [name]Sable[/name], [name]Sibyl[/name], [name]Cecilia[/name], [name]Sheila[/name]
[name]Tessa[/name]- very cute, but nicknamey. I love [name]Theresa[/name], [name]Therese[/name], Thais, Taissa, Thaissa, ect
[name]Jean[/name]- [name]Love[/name] it! Also love [name]Joan[/name], [name]Jane[/name] and [name]June[/name]. just sweet, simple, fresh, familiar, not at all pretentious, love love love
[name]Mary[/name]- See above. Also love this as a double barrel name ([name]Mary[/name] [name]Jean[/name] is cute) also love [name]Marietta[/name], [name]Marina[/name] and other variations.
[name]Brigid[/name]- cute. makes me think [name]Bernadette[/name], [name]Berenice[/name] which I love- but also [name]Brittany[/name] and other [name]Brit[/name]- names which I am not into…also I am not that into Irish names.
[name]Jean[/name], [name]Mary[/name], [name]Louisa[/name] and [name]Ramona[/name] are my favorites!!
[name]Margaret[/name] is gorgeous and works well with [name]Peter[/name]. I also like [name]Ingrid[/name], [name]Tessa[/name], and [name]Jemima[/name] (not sure how useable this is).
