We have two children, Ellis (m) and Frances (f) and we are expecting our third child later this year. We are not going to find out the sex of the baby, so we have to come up with a boy name and a girl name. We have already settled on Ira for a boy, but are really struggling with girl names.
A few of the names we’ve tossed around are Willa, Theodora (Teddy), and Winifred (Winnie).
Our last name is one syllable, so we’d like to avoid one-syllable first names. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
How about…
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f]
[name_f]Diana[/name_f]
[name_u]Willow[/name_u]
[name_f]Opal[/name_f]
[name_u]Antonia[/name_u]
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f] / [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f]
[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u] & [name_f]Frances[/name_f] are lovely! And [name_u]Ira[/name_u] is completely perfect for a little brother.
Here are my thoughts on what you’ve got so far for a girl:
Willa-I think that [name_f]Willa[/name_f] is a great name. It’s simple, vintage, grows up well, isn’t terribly over done, smart, kind of bookish in a clever adventurous way. I think that it works fairly well w/your crew. I also like [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] nn [name_f]Willa[/name_f]. It seems more established & perfect w/Frances nn [name_u]Frankie[/name_u].
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] (Teddy)-Theodora is gorgeous. It’s bold & exotic, but still feels really sweet at the same time. I do think that [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] is a good fit w/Frankie. It’s getting a bit popular for boys though, so that could just be a pain. I love the nn [name_f]Thea[/name_f] myself.
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] (Winnie)-I love [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]! It’s so cheerful & lovable. It’s vintage & well known, but you don’t hear it a ton. [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] is a cool classic, but it’s just a little clunky for me personally. I love [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] nn [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]! Also, a bunch of good Welsh names like: [name_f]Arwen[/name_f], [name_f]Anwen[/name_f], [name_f]Branwen[/name_f], [name_f]Ceridwen[/name_f], [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] & [name_f]Morwenna[/name_f]. I wouldn’t say that those fit as well w/Ellis & [name_f]Frances[/name_f], but cool ideas none the less.
Sorry for any repeats, but here are a few more ideas that you may like:

I know a sibling set of [name_u]Ellis[/name_u], [name_f]Frances[/name_f], and [name_f]Georgia[/name_f]! I like [name_f]Dolores[/name_f] “Dolly/Lola” for you; it shares the ending sound but the varying syllables makes it not too matchy.
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] goes great with [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] and Frankie!!!

[name_u]Ira[/name_u] is a lovely choice for a boy and sounds very good with your other childrens’ names!
You might like [name_f]Irene[/name_f], [name_f]Irina[/name_f] (ee-REE-na) or maybe even [name_f]Mila[/name_f], [name_f]Kyra[/name_f] or Laila… They sound pretty simillar to [name_u]Ira[/name_u] without being one-syllabe names.
I really like [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] “Winnie” and [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] “Teddy” from your current list. They share a nice simillarity to your daughter’s name because they’re traditional, longer, feminine names with a sweet, shorter nickname. Going off of that I can suggest:
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u], [name_f]Frances[/name_f] “Frankie” and:
[name_f]Miriam[/name_f] “Mimi”
[name_f]Dominica[/name_f] “Mimi” or “Dodie”
[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] “Dottie”
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] “Vivi”
[name_f]Henriette[/name_f] “Hattie”
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] “Addie”
[name_f]Sabrina[/name_f] “Bree”
[name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] “Brielle” or “Gabby”
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] “Maggie” or “Greta”
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] “Betsy”
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps!
I think [name_f]Theadora[/name_f] (Teddy) works really well with your kids especially [name_f]Frances[/name_f] “Frankie”. Other suggestions:
[name_f]Phillipa[/name_f] nn [name_u]Pip[/name_u], [name_f]Pippa[/name_f]
Georgia/Georgiana nn [name_u]Georgie[/name_u]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] nn [name_u]Jo[/name_u], [name_u]Josie[/name_u]

[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] nn [name_m]Matt[/name_m], [name_u]Mattie[/name_u], [name_f]Maddie[/name_f], [name_f]Tillie[/name_f], [name_f]Tilda[/name_f], [name_m]Mads[/name_m]
