Hello friends!
I’m looking for some clunky vintage name ideas for a sister to [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Clemency[/name_f] and [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_u]Blythe[/name_u]! I think [name_f]Martha[/name_f] and [name_f]Frances[/name_f] play off of each other well, and I enjoy the fact that they’re both not quite ready-for-revival! The style reminds me a little bit of Life with Beans (I don’t know anything about them, but their children have some beautiful names.)
[name_f]My[/name_f] search for a sister hasn’t been successful, so I figured I’d ask for some ideas!
Here’s a list of names I’ve considered (with reasons why I don’t love them!):
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f] - [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] fits the vintage vibe quite well, but I think she’s a little to uncommon and wordy for the set.
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] - I enjoy how [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] sounds with [name_f]Martha[/name_f] and [name_f]Frances[/name_f], but it’s not sparkling for some reason!
[name_f]Birdie[/name_f] - I really like how [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] brings out the more playful side of [name_f]Martha[/name_f] and [name_f]Frances[/name_f], but I feel like she’s a little bit too young and nickname-ish compared to them! She’d undeniably be the youngest sister, and though I think that’s super sweet, I just don’t know if I love it.
[name_f]Greta[/name_f] - [name_f]Greta[/name_f] is probably the name I considered the most (along with Birdie), but I’m just not vibing with her much. I’ve enjoyed her for a while, but for some reason haven’t added her to my list, and I think that’s the problem here as well. I just don’t feel a pull!
[name_u]Fern[/name_u] - I adore [name_u]Fern[/name_u] and [name_f]Martha[/name_f] together (despite the fact that they’re a little mismatched), but [name_u]Fern[/name_u] and [name_f]Frances[/name_f] just don’t work in a set together.
[name_f]Dottie[/name_f] - I feel a similar way about [name_f]Dottie[/name_f] that I feel about [name_f]Birdie[/name_f]. I think she’s sweet, but I do feel that she’s too playful (and I feel more strongly about this than I do about Birdie.)
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] - I think [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is just a little too wordy when paired with [name_f]Martha[/name_f] and [name_f]Frances[/name_f]. [name_f]Frances[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] pair well, and [name_f]Martha[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] work, but [name_f]Martha[/name_f], [name_f]Frances[/name_f], and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] just don’t feel right.
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] - [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is so sweet, but she’s just too modern with this sibset for me, despite being a vintage name.
[name_f]Gwen[/name_f] - From my searches, I’ve seen [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] recommended as a sister to [name_f]Martha[/name_f] and [name_f]Frances[/name_f] (separately), and while I do like her, I just don’t think she captures the vibe.
[name_f]Wendy[/name_f] - [name_f]Wendy[/name_f] matches well, but I feel like she’s a little too whimsical.
[name_f]Mildred[/name_f] - Oh sweet and crusty [name_f]Mildred[/name_f]! I love her, but I think she’s too clunky for the set, and I’m not a fan of the same starting letter.
[name_u]Darcy[/name_u] - I think [name_u]Darcy[/name_u] and [name_f]Frances[/name_f] work well, but I fear that when they’re paired with [name_f]Martha[/name_f] she sticks out as she’s the only one that isn’t gender neutral.
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] - [name_f]Edith[/name_f] matches so well, but I don’t feel any pull towards her for some reason! She’s got the clunky vintage feel, while still being a bit playful, but I just don’t love her.
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] - I’ve seen [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] suggested as a sister to [name_f]Martha[/name_f] and [name_f]Frances[/name_f] (separately) several times, but I just can’t seem to like her. Once again, I also don’t love the same starting letter.
[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] - [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] is another one I’ve seen suggested a lot, but for some reason, she’s just not clunky enough for me. She’s so sweet, but I feel like she’s not [name_f]English[/name_f] enough in this set?
Taking this list into consideration, what are some names you’d suggest me for a sister to [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Clemency[/name_f] and [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_u]Blythe[/name_u]? Are there any names that are sticking out to you from this list? If you get a specific vibe from the list, I’d love to hear it!
