It’s nice to see how you’re going with the decision process. I wonder if you’ve given [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] some thought. It came to mind when you mentioned feeling drawn to the letters M, L, C, and E. [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], [name_u]Jude[/name_u] and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]. It also has that long “i” sound like in [name_f]Briar[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilah[/name_f].
Looking at other names with these letters in the vintage or classic style, there’s [name_f]Liesl[/name_f], [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f], [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] that haven’t been mentioned. I think [name_f]Liesl[/name_f] has some zestiness, a great alternative to [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. To me, [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] has altogether a different feel to [name_f]Louise[/name_f] and could be a good option. [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] shares that long “a” sound with [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] so it might appeal.
[name_f]Coraline[/name_f], [name_f]Camille[/name_f], [name_f]Cathleen[/name_f] and [name_f]Cecily[/name_f]. [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] shares some components with [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_f]Elora[/name_f] and [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]. I also love the feeling of it with [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] and [name_u]Jude[/name_u]. [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] reminds me of [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] in a way, with less frill than [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]. Could use [name_f]Cece[/name_f] as a nickname, a bit like [name_f]Vivi[/name_f].
You might like [name_f]Edith[/name_f] or [name_f]Esther[/name_f]. I think both of these would lean the sibling set firmly in the camp of vintage charm. [name_f]Esther[/name_f] is rather timeless, it’s popularity has remained rather steady whilst never being overly popular. I think [name_f]Edith[/name_f] “[name_f]Edie[/name_f]” would be very sweet with [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] and [name_u]Jude[/name_u].
You also mentioned the appeal of a middle name starting with E or A. What about [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Annora[/name_f] or [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]. Speaking of, [name_f]Alice[/name_f] would be great as a first name in your sibling set. [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], [name_u]Jude[/name_u] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f].
Lastly, I wonder how you feel about [name_f]Ramona[/name_f]. It was already suggested by a previous poster but I think it’s a fantastic fit. Strong, feminine and retro. Similar in sound to [name_f]Paloma[/name_f], [name_f]Fiona[/name_f], [name_f]Leona[/name_f] and the long “o” in [name_f]Elodie[/name_f]. [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], [name_u]Jude[/name_u] and [name_f]Ramona[/name_f].
