Sibling for Zoe and Molly

Name Advice
1

We have a [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] ([name_f]Zoe[/name_f]) and a [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] ([name_f]Molly[/name_f]). We’re expecting baby #3 - don’t know sex yet. I’d love to hear your thoughts on cohesive (but not too matchy) names. We obviously love classics, but are open to kind of bohemian options, too. I dislike unique spellings and clearly made up names. We do like unisex names.

Here are some names we like. Girls are easier than boys:

Girls:

[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]
[name_f]Joanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u]
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f]
[name_f]Junia[/name_f]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f]
[name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Amanda[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Willow[/name_f]
[name_m]Jett[/name_m]

Boys:

[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Jett[/name_m]
[name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Jonas[/name_m]
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u]

[name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f], [name_f]Frances[/name_f], [name_f]Amanda[/name_f], and a [name_f]Willow[/name_f] are my favorites of yours for a girl. For a boy from your list I like [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and I adore the name [name_u]Elliott[/name_u].

Nice. I love your [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_u]Jude[/name_u]. <3

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

Here are my thoughts on your lists:

Girls:

[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]-I like this a lot. Would you use a nn? I think that [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], [name_f]Molly[/name_f] & [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] would be adorable.

[name_f]Joanna[/name_f]-This is not my favorite, but it’s fine. [name_f]Annie[/name_f] or [name_u]Josie[/name_u] would be cute w/your crew.

[name_f]Margaret[/name_f]-I like this, but is it maybe too close to [name_f]Mary[/name_f]?

[name_f]Margot[/name_f]-I think that this works better than [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]. It’s sort of close to [name_f]Mary[/name_f] too, but style wise bridges the gap between [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] & [name_f]Mary[/name_f].

[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]-Ooh, this seems perfect. [name_u]Love[/name_u] it.

[name_u]Elliott[/name_u]-This is all boy to me.

[name_f]Sarah[/name_f]-This is nice & works well. Would you use a nn? [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], [name_f]Molly[/name_f] & [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] are perfect! I also like [name_f]Sally[/name_f], but [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] more.

[name_f]Junia[/name_f]-Ooh, so pretty. You rarely see this one. I think that a [name_f]Junie[/name_f] would be amazing w/big sisters’ names.

[name_f]Luna[/name_f]-[name_m]Way[/name_m] too trendy these days. I like the idea of a [name_f]Lulu[/name_f] w/[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] & [name_f]Molly[/name_f] though.

[name_u]James[/name_u]-Definitely all boy.

[name_f]Frances[/name_f]-Okay, I like this unisex name. Very classic. I love [name_f]Franny[/name_f] & [name_f]Francie[/name_f] too. That’d be nice for you.

[name_f]Amanda[/name_f]-Meh, seems so dated.

[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]-This is too much. Not my style, although [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], [name_f]Molly[/name_f] & [name_f]Evie[/name_f] are awesome.

[name_f]Willow[/name_f]-A tad trendy, but kind of nice & works here.

[name_m]Jett[/name_m]-I just can’t see [name_f]Mary[/name_f] & [name_m]Jett[/name_m] for sisters. Those are from different worlds.

Boys:

[name_m]Henry[/name_m]-I love this name if popularity doesn’t bother you. It works well, there are just a lot of them.

[name_m]Jett[/name_m]-This is better for a boy, but still kind of odd to me.

[name_u]James[/name_u]-Perfect for a boy!

[name_m]Jonas[/name_m]-Fun! This is different, but also classic enough. Works great.

[name_u]Elliott[/name_u]-I love it for a boy! It doesn’t work as well w/[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] & [name_f]Molly[/name_f] as some of the others, but it’s really handsome.

I love Dorothy (nn Dottie), Jonas and Elliott!! Jonas could work as a girl name, imo, as we know a little girl named this.

I like Margot, but it may be too close to Molly?

I also think Margaret and Evangeline are great ideas for middle names!

Sorry for repeats…

Honestly, my first thoughts for girls were [name_f]Chloe[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], and [name_f]Cleo[/name_f].
Maybe:
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
Or any other combination.

For boys, I instantly thought of [name_m]David[/name_m] and [name_u]Elliott[/name_u].
[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_m]David[/name_m] [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] or [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] [name_m]David[/name_m]?

My favorite names from your girls list are [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Sarah[/name_f], [name_f]Junia[/name_f], and [name_f]Luna[/name_f].
My favorites from your boys list are [name_u]Elliott[/name_u], [name_u]James[/name_u], and [name_m]Henry[/name_m].

As a sister for [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] & [name_f]Mary[/name_f] / [name_f]Molly[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] nn [name_f]Dotty[/name_f] is my favorite from your list! [name_f]Sarah[/name_f], [name_f]Junia[/name_f], [name_f]Luna[/name_f], & [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] are great too! What about [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] nn [name_m]Jett[/name_m]? I think [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] fits perfectly with [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] & [name_f]Mary[/name_f]'s full names & [name_m]Jett[/name_m] is such a fun nickname!

[name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Susanna[/name_f] nn [name_u]Sunny[/name_u] or [name_f]Annie[/name_f]?
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Greta[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]

[name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_u]James[/name_u], & [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] are my favorites from your boys list.

[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_u]Riley[/name_u]

[name_u]Emmett[/name_u]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]

I think of your suggestions, [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], [name_f]Mary[/name_f] “[name_f]Molly[/name_f]” and [name_f]Junia[/name_f] is lovely! If it’s a boy, [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], [name_f]Mary[/name_f] “[name_f]Molly[/name_f]” and [name_m]Jett[/name_m] works perfectly! Otherwise, here are a few ideas!

[name_f]Elsie[/name_f], [name_f]Heidi[/name_f], [name_f]Amira[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Nina[/name_f], [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f], [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], [name_f]Thea[/name_f], [name_f]Ffion[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Winslet[/name_f].

[name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_u]Elias[/name_u], [name_m]Maddox[/name_m], [name_m]Tobias[/name_m], [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m], [name_m]Wells[/name_m], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], [name_m]Benji[/name_m], [name_u]Beau[/name_u], [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u], [name_u]Lennon[/name_u], [name_m]Knox[/name_m], [name_u]Niall[/name_u], [name_u]Nico[/name_u], [name_m]Alec[/name_m], [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], [name_u]Finn[/name_u].
