My husband and I are expecting our first girl in october and are stumped on a name. We have a 3 year old son named [name_m]August[/name_m], and we like names that are formal and/or nature inspired. Not really looking for a unique name, we’d prefer something more well known.
We were really set on [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] for a long time, but realized it wouldn’t sound good with our last name (they both have ‘lie’ sounds in them).
Our current list is:
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Fern[/name_f]
[name_f]Raven[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]

[name_f]Iris[/name_f] sounds gorgeous with [name_u]August[/name_u]
Does [name_u]August[/name_u] have a nickname if so do you want your daughter to have one or are you no to bothered?

I really love [name_u]Fern[/name_u], that would be my choice, closely followed by [name_f]Iris[/name_f]. [name_f]Calla[/name_f] & [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] also came to mind.
He goes by [name_m]Auggie[/name_m] most of the time, and we’re not too adamant about having a nickname for our girl but if there’s one she likes when she’s old enough we’ll use it. We also like [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] because we can shorten is to [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]!
I love your list! I think [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_u]Fern[/name_u] & [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] work best with [name_u]August[/name_u]. Some suggestions:

Your list is lovely! And I adore [name_u]August[/name_u] 
With your son’s name, I think my top picks would be [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] & [name_f]Iris[/name_f]. They’re both gorgeous names - timeless vintage options that feel elegant and fresh.
And if you like nature names, [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is especially fitting. In saying that, the more I think about it, the more I think [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is my favourite alongside [name_u]August[/name_u], in part because it’s closer length-wise and has a more distinct sound next to [name_u]August[/name_u] (whereas [name_f]Iris[/name_f] has the -s ending, which is similar to the -st ending of August).
Also, I like some of Eleanor’s nicknames with [name_u]August[/name_u]: [name_m]Auggie[/name_m] & [name_f]Nell[/name_f] and [name_m]Auggie[/name_m] & [name_f]Leni[/name_f] are so cute together!
[name_u]Hazel[/name_u], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] and [name_u]Fern[/name_u] are also brilliant choices. Each one would make a wonderful sibling name with [name_u]August[/name_u]. You can’t go wrong!
I think [name_m]Auggie[/name_m] and [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] would be really cute as sibling
