We like [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], but I think we like the others better.
Our daughter is [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and I am somewhat sad we used [name_f]Claire[/name_f] in the middle because I would totally use it for baby number 3. We also love [name_f]Rose[/name_f], but our dog is named [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]. Why did we waste [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f]?!
We don’t want to use an A or an S name.
Any suggestions? (Also, our son’s name is [name_u]Sam[/name_u])
I think [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is perfect with your sibset. Other names that occur to me are [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], [name_f]Julia[/name_f], [name_f]Grace[/name_f],[name_f]Celia[/name_f], and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], but I like [name_f]Jane[/name_f] best.
I really like [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]! [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_u]Sam[/name_u] & [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
I like the sound and look of [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] & [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]. I also think [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is particularly sweet and timeless. I also like the suggestions of [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Mia[/name_f].
But I love love love the name [name_f]Jane[/name_f] (it’s my middle name also), so I’m biased. I think [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is pretty too, but not a fan of [name_f]Mary[/name_f].
Other suggestions
[name_f]Emily[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f] (I know you said no S… but I adore [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], and I think [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_u]Sam[/name_u] & [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] totally works).
[name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_f]Lola[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeline[/name_f] ([name_f]Maddie[/name_f]?)
[name_f]Lauren[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Diana[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Tori[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
I was going to also suggest [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] even though she asked for no names that began with A or S. [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] goes fabulously with siblings [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_u]Sam[/name_u].
I like [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] with [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_u]Sam[/name_u]. They are kind of rustic names to me. [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_f]Mary[/name_f] are also classic but a little more serious vibe to me. I also like [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and the suggestions of [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], and [name_f]Julia[/name_f].
I would love to meet a little [name_f]Mary[/name_f], it’s a cool, compact name.
Otherwise I like [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] - it sounds good when saying all in a list and it does have rustic charm as pp said. I’d choose if you have a nn you like or, if not, pop in as a middle if there’s room!
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] is a great name too, rats I’m not helping. It isn’t quite as good to say in a row as the others but as a name itself, it’s so confident, fun and smart.
I think one of these are the way to go - there are so many Lucys at the moment and to me Ruby is too cute/hip for your timeless and smart genre.
Other possibilities:
[name_f]Emily[/name_f]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] (one of my faves!)
[name_f]Jessica[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f]
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f]/ [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f]
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]
I love both [name_f]Mary[/name_f] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f], and would like [name_f]Mary[/name_f] with the siblings - a name now unusual on little ones, and it is not only a strong classic but cool and fresh. [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] works well too. Lots of lovely suggestions made - I particularly like [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] and [name_f]Frances[/name_f] as classic, smart and interesting names.
I love the idea of [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_u]Sam[/name_u], and [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f].
I also like [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]-nn [name_f]Meg[/name_f] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]–nn [name_f]Bess[/name_f]
I love [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]!
And I really like [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] (love!) to go with [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_u]Sam[/name_u].
I love all 3 of your options. [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_u]Sam[/name_u] and [name_f]Mary[/name_f] especially makes me smile. As for other long forms of [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]: [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f], [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], [name_f]Lucilla[/name_f], [name_f]Louise[/name_f], [name_f]Luisa[/name_f]. Good luck.
