Still searching; seeking comments/suggestions/reassurance

Girl Names

We’re still searching for a name for [name]Grace[/name] & [name]Eve[/name]'s sister, due in early [name]April[/name]. [name]Just[/name] when we think we have “the” name, we get cold feet and change our minds (full disclosure: I change MY mind :rolleyes: – DH is incredibly accommodating and patient).

What are your thoughts on these names, and how they’d work with [name]Grace[/name] and [name]Eve[/name]? (The middle name will be a family name – and we have many great ones to choose from that will nicely compliment any of these – so our main focus is finding “the” first name, which is what she’ll be called 99% of the time; plus all of these would be fine with our last name.)

[name]Agnes[/name]
[name]Hannah[/name]
[name]Ingrid[/name]
[name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Rose[/name]*
[name]Sarah[/name]

If anyone has any other suggestions, we’re open to them; here’s an idea of what we’ve been through so far:

Names that we like or could “work,” but can’t use: [name]Anne[/name]/[name]Anna[/name]; [name]Claire[/name]; [name]Chloe[/name]; [name]Eleanor[/name]; [name]Emma[/name]; [name]Jane[/name]; [name]Katherine[/name]; [name]Madeleine[/name]; [name]Mae[/name]; [name]Maeve[/name]; [name]Mary[/name] (FWIW, of these, [name]Jane[/name], [name]Katherine[/name] & [name]Mary[/name] were our favorites)

Names that could “work,” but we rejected b/c either DH or I didn’t like: [name]Alice[/name]; [name]Beatrice[/name]; [name]Beth[/name]; [name]Blythe[/name]; [name]Bryn[/name]; [name]Diana[/name]; [name]Elizabeth[/name]; [name]Faye[/name]; [name]Fleur[/name]; [name]Helen[/name]; [name]Ivy[/name]; [name]Julia[/name]; [name]June[/name]; [name]Kate[/name]; [name]Lynn[/name]; [name]Nell[/name]; [name]Nora[/name]; [name]Pearl[/name]; [name]Phoebe[/name]; [name]Quinn[/name]; [name]Ruby[/name]; [name]Ruth[/name]; [name]Sofia[/name]; [name]Stella[/name]; [name]Tess[/name]; [name]Violet[/name]; [name]Willa[/name]; [name]Wren[/name];

*[name]Rose[/name]: We know that [name]Rose[/name] “works,” but we’re not completely sold on it – yet; it may be the winner, by default.

Thanks again for your help!

I personally love [name]Agnes[/name] and [name]Rose[/name] in a sibset with [name]Eve[/name] and [name]Grace[/name].

3

[name]Sarah[/name] - that is a beautiful and classic name and goes well with the sisters’ names!

4

[name]Agnes[/name] is my vote definitely. Other suggestions though- [name]Iris[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], [name]Rosalie[/name], and [name]Hazel[/name].

Of your list with [name]Grace[/name] and [name]Eve[/name] I would use [name]Sarah[/name]… beautiful, classic and fits perfectly!

With [name]Grace[/name] and [name]Eve[/name], I love the idea of [name]Hannah[/name], [name]Rose[/name], and [name]Sarah[/name]. I like the pps suggestions of [name]Iris[/name] and [name]Hazel[/name].

My first thought was [name]Cora[/name]–I think [name]Grace[/name], [name]Eve[/name], and [name]Cora[/name] are adorable together. I don’t know which of you didn’t like [name]Nora[/name], but maybe [name]Cora[/name] would work?

Good luck!

[name]Rose[/name] would be a natural choice and I think would always be elegant. [name]Iris[/name] is a lovely suggestion too. What about [name]Lucia[/name], [name]Clara[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Rachel[/name], [name]Ada[/name], [name]Thea[/name], [name]Flora[/name], [name]Vera[/name], or [name]Abigail[/name]?

Thank you for your comments and suggestions. “[name]Iris[/name]” is lovely, but reminds DH too much of the human eye, and the other suggestions have been raised and rejected, too. So it looks as if so far, [name]Rose[/name], [name]Sarah[/name], and [name]Agnes[/name] have the most positive responses; “the” name is definitely in there somewhere… Thanks so much again for your help!
