POLL: Sister for Maeve

I have been strugglinggggg with a name to go with big sister Maeve. Big brothers are Liam and Eamon. Considered staying in the Irish theme, but it’s too hard! I love vintage, feminine but strong girl names. Would love if you’d vote for your favorite of these, and please feel free to suggest others!

  • Blair
  • Neve
  • Jane
  • Alice

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] is lovely - simple, sweet and strong!

[name_u]Alma[/name_u], [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_f]Cora[/name_f] came to mind too

[name_f]Jane[/name_f] amd [name_u]Blair[/name_u]. But [name_f]Alice[/name_f] is great too

[name_u]Blair[/name_u] is fantastic!

If you don’t use [name_u]Blair[/name_u], my suggestion is [name_f]Nora[/name_f]. Definitely strong with vintage appeal, but has had long history of use in [name_u]Ireland[/name_u], so has that vibe. Sounds great with sister [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]!

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Blair[/name_u], but also love the suggestion of [name_u]Sloane[/name_u].

Yes to [name_f]Ciara[/name_f]!

We know a [name_f]Ciara[/name_f] that ruins the name a bit unfortunately!

[name_u]Blair[/name_u] or [name_f]Jane[/name_f]!

What about [name_f]Fia[/name_f]? [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] and [name_f]Fia[/name_f] would be adorable sisters and keep the [name_u]Irish[/name_u] theme!

Some more strong, vintage names…

[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_u]Juno[/name_u]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_u]Cleo[/name_u]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]

With such distinctly [name_u]Irish[/name_u] names as [name_u]Liam[/name_u], [name_m]Eamon[/name_m], & [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], I’d vote strongly for sticking with the [name_u]Irish[/name_u] theme, so as to avoid the “odd one out” scenario.
I would have voted for [name_f]Neve[/name_f] for this reason, except that [name_f]Neve[/name_f] and [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] sound too similar (even if you were to use the [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] spelling).
I agree with previous commenters’ suggestions of [name_f]Fia[/name_f], [name_f]Ciara[/name_f], [name_f]Aisling[/name_f], and [name_f]Una[/name_f], which all sound lovely with your sibset!
Other ideas:
[name_f]Roisin[/name_f]
[name_f]Sorcha[/name_f]
[name_f]Orla[/name_f]
[name_f]Siobhan[/name_f]
[name_f]Sinead[/name_f]
[name_u]Or[/name_u], as an alternative to [name_f]Alice[/name_f], how about the lovely [name_f]Eilis[/name_f] (like the main character from the movie Brooklyn)? :slight_smile:

[name_u]Liam[/name_u], [name_m]Eamon[/name_m], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] and…

[name_f]Ailis[/name_f]
Aislin/Aisling
[name_f]Niamh[/name_f]
[name_f]Ciara[/name_f]
[name_f]Caoimhe[/name_f]
[name_f]Saoirse[/name_f]
[name_f]Siofra[/name_f]
[name_f]Aoife[/name_f]
[name_f]Roisin[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiadh[/name_f]
[name_f]Eabha[/name_f]
[name_u]Alva[/name_u]
[name_f]Aoibhin[/name_f]

I was going to suggest [name_f]Nora[/name_f] too! Feels like the perfect fit with these sibs (PS - I LOVE [name_m]Eamon[/name_m], it is so underused )

I can’t get behind [name_f]Nora[/name_f] unfortunately! It would be perfect, but it doesn’t have that feminine sound that I like for a girl name. We put ourself in a tough box doing [name_u]Irish[/name_u] names :joy:
