Sister for Eva, Josephine, & Annabel

General Name Discussion

Expecting our 4th daughter in [name_u]December[/name_u]! Names on our short list and some concerns:

[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] (too similar to [name_f]Eva[/name_f]?)
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f]/[name_f]Sophie[/name_f] (too popular and too similar to [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]?)
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f](same concern as [name_f]Emilia[/name_f]?)
[name_f]Lily[/name_f]/[name_f]Lillian[/name_f](too popular)
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]/[name_f]Claire[/name_f] (love, but [name_f]Annabel[/name_f]’s middle name is [name_f]Claire[/name_f])
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] (hubby doesn’t love)

What are your thoughts on these names/ concerns and do you have any other recommendations? I really didn’t want to repeat an initial, but our current front runner is [name_f]Emilia[/name_f].

Thanks!

I don’t think [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] is too close to [name_f]Eva[/name_f] to use and the same goes for [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]/[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] with [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]. In saying that, I understand you not wanting to repeat a starting letter with Emilia. My favourite names you’ve proposed are [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f], all of which I think suit your daughters’ names really well. [name_f]Violet[/name_f] seems like the best choice as you’ve noted issues with the other two, although I personally don’t think [name_f]Clara[/name_f] is unusable because of the use of [name_f]Claire[/name_f] as a middle name for [name_f]Annabel[/name_f]. Anyway for me [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is the winner followed by [name_f]Margot[/name_f], then [name_f]Clara[/name_f]. [name_f]Lily[/name_f]/[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] is also a good option, whilst for me [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]/[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] are a little too common, and I’m not a fan of [name_f]Eliza[/name_f].

I love [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]! I don’t think [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Eva[/name_f] are too close.

I’ll suggest [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], [name_f]Cara[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] and [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]

Thanks for all of the suggestions and comments so far. Please keep them coming! [name_f]Glad[/name_f] to see most of you don’t think [name_f]Eva[/name_f] and [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] are too close.
With front runners, [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], and [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], I would love some middle name ideas as well. For reference my other daughter are:
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]

Our last name is two syllables starting with P.
Thanks

[name_f]Clara[/name_f] would be my favourite followed by [name_f]Violet[/name_f].

My favourite is [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], second [name_f]Violet[/name_f]

[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Anna[/name_f]

Or using another from your list

[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]

All the best!

[name_f]Violet[/name_f] seems like the winner to me, as it’s the only one you don’t have concerns for! It’s a stunning name.

11

[name_f]Eva[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Annabel[/name_f], and…

[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] - Plant name like [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f].
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] - Compromise between [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]/[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f] - Similar sounds to [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] - Alternative to [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Leona[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] - Similar to [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Louise[/name_f]

Thanks for the ideas! [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] have been on my list but just don’t feel like the one. Right now I’m stuck between [name_f]Violet[/name_f] & [name_f]Emilia[/name_f]. I love both! Not sure how I’m going to decide.

13

I agree but can’t shake my love for [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] as well. I’m torn between [name_f]Violet[/name_f] & [name_f]Emilia[/name_f]! Thanks for your input.

I adore [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f] and strongly considering this combo!

Also love [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. What are your thoughts on [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]?

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] but feel it might be too close to my name ([name_u]Lisa[/name_u] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]).

Thanks for the suggestions!
