    A sister for Maisie and Birdie

    I'm looking for a girl's name to go with Maisie Cordelia and Birdie Emmeline (prn. Em-eh-leen).

    The problem is I have a touch of OCD and I've kinda put myself in a box it seems! Both the girls' names have 6 letter 1st names that end in -ie/are considered nicknames (though they don't seem too nickname-y to me and work fine on their own) and 8 letter middle names. Though we already have her middle name picked out: it'll be Adelaide after OH's great aunt Addie.

    I *think* I could be okay with a name that ends in -y so long as it has 6 letters.

    Some first names I like:
    Sylvie (one of my top picks, but I'm not sure if it sounds too french next to the very english sounding Maisie and Birdie?)
    Tillie (another top pick. Matilda has ALWAYS been one of my favorite names and I love that it has 2 "i's" like Maisie and Birdie. I know—I'm weird!)
    Trixie (OH has nixed this one, he says it reminds him of a stripper name)
    Tessie
    Millie (I'm not sure if it's too much with Maisie ?)
    Hattie

    Again, her middle name's going to be Adelaide.

    I'd love your guys's opinions/suggestions!

    Thank you sooooo much in advance!

    Sylvie Adelaide is really wonderful, but do you want her name to be an "ee" last syllable also? If yes, i would suggest this. If not, i would recommend Matilda Adelaide.
    Both are lovely in my opinion! (not a big fan of Hattie or Trixie, and I do think Millie is too similar to Maisie)

    I love Sylvie! I don't think it sounds out-of-place, in comparison to Maisie and Birdie. It's my personal fave out of the options you have listed.


    Some others:
    Aubrie
    Audrie (although these two many not work, considering the MN)
    Carrie
    Cherie
    Colbie
    Dottie
    Dulcie
    Goldie (love this one!)
    Kizzie
    Ruthie
    Zoelie

    Do you like any of these?

    Out of your choices I like Sylvie and Tessie the best.

    From other posters I like the name Sadie, but not the suggested spellings. Again with Penny and Molly, I don't like the "ie" ending.

    My vote goes to Tessie.

    I think Sylvie Adelaide would be really cute! I don't think it sounds too French with Maisie and Birdie. I actually think it goes with them really well. I also liked Hattie from your list. Hattie Adelaide is adorable! I do really like Tillie, as well, but I love the name Matilda and almost think you should go with Matilda with the nickname option of Millie or Tillie, or even Mattie. Other names you might like:

    Billie
    Sammie
    Pearlie
    Amy
    Flossie
    Mamie
    Julie
    Annie
    Lily
    Molly

    Franny
    Francie
    Opal
    Maggie
    Sophie
    Aggie
    Garnet
    Ruthie
    Naomi
    Georgie (Georgia, Georgina, Georgette, Georgiana)
    Nancy
    Sukey, Sukie
    Sosie
    Tacey
    Tansy
    Pansy
    Nona
    Sonya
    Freja, Freya
    Carrie

    Love your list especially: Sylvie, Tillie and Tessie. I would probably choose Tessie as a sister for Maisie and Birdie (gorgeous names, btw) but Slyvie is a close second for me. other suggestions are:

    Callie
    Reggie
    Tibbie
    Nellie
    Kittie
    Lottie
    Top Girls: Tessa, Audrey, Joyce nn Joy, Harriet, Lynn, Regina nn Reggie, Diana, Ivy, Anthea NN Thea
    Top Boys: Theodore nn Theo, Quade, Miles, Cormac, Keith, Isaac, Jude, Flynn, Max.

    Irish name Indulgances: Donncha, Padraig, Méabh, Gráinne.

    Do you like any of these?

    I really like Dulcie and actually Goldie was a name I was in love with... until OH pointed out our daughters have pretty dark hair. He says she'd be a walking oxymoron. Men. lol

    Names I really liked from other posters:
    Sookie (but only spelled this way Sukey/Sukie kinda make me think of sucky.)
    Hallie
    Lottie

    I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you guys, but thank you so much you've given me some really great suggestions and I appreciate it so much!
