[name_f]Faye[/name_f]: I’m not a big fan of [name_f]Faye[/name_f] generally, and it definitely feels a little bit too softand wishy-washy next to [name_f]Juno[/name_f] and [name_f]Livia[/name_f] for me.
[name_f]Maia[/name_f]: I like the sound of the name in theory, but [name_f]Maya[/name_f] has been pretty popular in recent times and it doesn’t excite me any more. I get that this is a different name and is from the goddess, but it sounds exactly the same and feels a bit overexposed to me. [name_f]Gaia[/name_f], on the other hand, would be perfect!
[name_f]Mira[/name_f]: I like “MEER-uh” more than “MY-ruh” - which pronunciation would they use? I kind of feel the same about this as [name_f]Maia[/name_f] - I’ve just seen so much of [name_f]Maya[/name_f], [name_f]Mia[/name_f], [name_f]Mila[/name_f] and the like that this just feels a bit… meh.
[name_f]Esme[/name_f]: I really love [name_f]Esme[/name_f]. It’s simple, cute and unfrilly. However, I do think that this one will get pretty popular - it’s alreadv very popular here in the UK and it’s got all the elements needed to succeed across the pond too in my view. If that doesn’t bother your friend, I think it’s a very good fit.
[name_f]Ione[/name_f]: I love this one, but I’ve ruled it out for myself because I find it too similar to [name_f]Juno[/name_f]. So I don’t think it’s ideal in this sibset, even though it’s my favourite from this list.
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]: Another one that’s really popular over here in the UK, and I think destined to rise to the top elsewhere too. Other than its potential popularity, I think it’s a perfect fit with [name_f]Juno[/name_f] and [name_f]Livia[/name_f], if your friend is willing to take a risk.
[name_f]Hebe[/name_f]: I’ve only ever met one [name_f]Hebe[/name_f], and I think it’s a really sweet little name, and very underused. Similar [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] is very popular here and climbing in the US, but [name_f]Hebe[/name_f] remains firmly under the radar for some reason. All things considered, this is my favourite as a sister to [name_f]Juno[/name_f] and [name_f]Livia[/name_f]: three bold, lively, unexpected names with very different sounds, but all with their roots in classical antiquity. I think it would be a perfect set!
