POLL: help me decide!

I’m pregnant with our final baby and it’s a sweet little girl! Her siblings are Liam Sean, Eamon Charles and Maeve Louise.

I’m not holding myself to an Irish name for this one because it’s more important to us that it’s a name we love, and we have poured through Irish girl names without any luck.

So now we are down to two name - Blair Patricia (Patricia for my mother) or Olive Jane (Jane for my grandmother.)

Which one should it be?

  • Blair
  • Olive

[name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is so charming

I voted for [name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] but I think [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] sounds better and is a bit more distinct from the “v” sound in [name_f]Maeve[/name_f].

With [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] being in the top 5 of name in the US, we aren’t inclined toward it!

Fair enough! I wanted [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] so bad but the popularity also deterred me!

[name_u]Blair[/name_u] sounds PERFECT with the siblings’ names, and I love that they middle name would honor your mother!

I think you may be right on it being the best match with the siblings names!

They both work with the set! [name_u]Liam[/name_u] and [name_m]Eamon[/name_m] sort of rhyme so if you want that repeat it could be nice for the girls to somewhat rhyme with the repeat ending V, then [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] and [name_f]Olive[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Olive[/name_f] sounds nice at the end of the set - as a final in the list. If you want syllable count repetition 2 for boys and 1 for girls, go for [name_u]Blair[/name_u]. It sounds a bit starker as a list - but that isn’t important given she will mostly live as an individual. It’s a nice call back to [name_u]Liam[/name_u] too.

The poll ended up exactly 50/50! Did not expect that! I guess we all may be as torn as I am :joy:
