We have two wonderful boys and are now having a girl and need help with picking a name. I love the name [name]Grayce[/name] and also love [name]Hattie[/name] [name]Rose[/name], but my husband isn’t too fond of them. We are open to suggestions so please help us!
I think your sons have great names. 
I think that [name]Grace[/name] (no y) is lovely (very popular in the U.S., though), and really love [name]Hattie[/name], both on its own as as a nickname for [name]Harriet[/name] and [name]Henrietta[/name]. ([name]Rose[/name] is the #1 middle name in the U.S., so [name]Rose[/name] has become a filler middle…Not sure where you are, though!)
[name]Finley[/name], [name]Oliver[/name], and:
[name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name]/[name]Annabelle[/name]
[name]Blythe[/name]
[name]Cora[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Clementine[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name] (nn [name]Nora[/name])
[name]Genevieve[/name] (nn [name]Evie[/name])
[name]Hazel[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] (nn [name]Nell[/name])
[name]Iris[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Jane[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Maeve[/name] (if you’d like to go the Irish route again…)
[name]Mabel[/name] (nn [name]Mae[/name], [name]Maisie[/name], or [name]Belle[/name])
[name]Nell[/name]
[name]Nora[/name]
[name]Nola[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] (as a first name)
[name]Rosalie[/name] (has [name]Finley[/name]'s ending sound, though)
[name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Stella[/name]
[name]Tess[/name]
[name]Willa[/name]
Best wishes to you!

my intention with the y in grace was that it would be pronounced gray cie, but spelled differently than ‘gracie’ but it seems to have been confusing to quite a few people and i don’t want her to have too much trouble with her name…i love charlotte but that is my niece’s name…and i love tess, maybe even tessa?!? thanks for your input
If you like [name]Charlotte[/name] and can’t use it, perhaps you would like [name]Caroline[/name]? They are both feminized versions of [name]Charles[/name]. I think if you want to use [name]Grayce[/name] ([name]Gracie[/name] - very confusing spelling, by the way!), it would best be suited to a middle name. [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Grayce[/name] would be pretty, as would [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Grace[/name], or even [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Grey[/name].
Some names that go well with [name]Finley[/name]: [name]Blair[/name], [name]Catriona[/name], [name]Greer[/name], [name]Isla[/name], [name]Lorna[/name], [name]Paisley[/name], [name]Skye[/name]
Some names that go well with [name]Oliver[/name]: [name]Beth[/name], [name]Blythe[/name], [name]Cate[/name], [name]Clare[/name], [name]Jane[/name], [name]Nell[/name], [name]Pearl[/name], [name]Rose[/name], [name]Alice[/name], [name]Audrey[/name], [name]Georgia[/name], [name]Hazel[/name], [name]Ivy[/name], [name]Louise[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], [name]Nora[/name], [name]Tatum[/name], [name]Adeline[/name], [name]Arabelle[/name], [name]Eliza[/name], [name]Juliet[/name], [name]Madeline[/name], [name]Margaret[/name], [name]Rosalind[/name], [name]Rosanna[/name], [name]Evangeline[/name]
Personally, I don’t care for sibling names having the same ending, if possible to avoid. So, I wouldn’t choose a name ending in -y or -er for your daughter, since these sounds are already used in [name]Finley[/name] and [name]Oliver[/name]. I think your best bets are [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Isla[/name], [name]Cate[/name], [name]Jane[/name], [name]Alice[/name], [name]Hazel[/name], [name]Tatum[/name], [name]Adeline[/name], [name]Eliza[/name], [name]Margaret[/name], or [name]Evangeline[/name].
Good luck!
I have no idea how people would have a problem pronouncing [name]Grace[/name]. It would have to be one of the simplest names around. If you were naming her [name]Ciel[/name] I could understand but everyone knows how to spell [name]Grace[/name] and the natural nn is [name]Gracie[/name], which I think spoils a lovely name.
Please don’t add a ‘y’ it just butchers the name.
