Expecting baby #3, and cannot think of any names I like. [name_f]My[/name_f] older children are [name_f]Lacey[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_u]Josie[/name_u] [name_f]Ann[/name_f]. We will be surprised on gender, so I need boy and girl names. Should I continue with the ending “E” sound, especially if it’s another girl? Or break that tradition? Any names you love?
I think it’ll sound great if you continue the “e” sound, as long as it isn’t too similar to the sister’s names.
Some ideas:

I don’t think it’s necessary to continue the ending “e” sound theme, but I don’t think you need to break it either if you don’t want to.

I agree with previous posters that continuing the long E trend would be nice, but you should pick a name you love. [name_m]Plenty[/name_m] of names could go with your girls’ without ending in an E sound.
Some ideas that haven’t been suggested:
Claire (this would also make a great middle, I think!)
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f]
[name_u]Everly[/name_u]
[name_u]Holly[/name_u]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]

I adore your girls names ! I love subtle themes and think having the “ee” ending is sweet. If you go with a K name than you would have J, K L as well
I will suggest

Continue the -ie / -ey naming trend! No one likes to be the one that “doesnt fit in.”
I would recommend that Baby #3 have a different initial vowel sound, for parity, than his/her older siblings. Ie, you have Lacey [AE or AY], and Josie [OH]. So I’d skip names like Hailey, Daisy, Maisy [AY] and Goldie and Odie [OH] which repeat those vowels.
I also note that the first two names are 2 syllables. While in no way a rule, I definitely think another 2 syllable name flows the best (Like Kelsey, Dagney, Essie, Remy, Wesley, below).
Lacey, Josie, and …
Girls:
- Kelsey - I think this one could fit particularly well
- Ashley
- Felicity
- Dagney : I really love Dagney / Cagney with your sibset, I have no idea why
- Essie
Boys:
- Remy
- Wesley - this one stands out to me as a top contender. It’s 2 syllables and has the [s]/[z] sound of Lacey/Josie, respectively.
- Harley
- Harvey
- Vinny
- Danny
- Corey
- Johnny
- Gary
- Carey
- Benny
Tons of great suggestions! Thank you everyone!
