Number 4 and I'm all named out...

Is Eve or Eleanor a better sister name for Isabel? Can you names twins Jefferson and Jackson, and if so what should their middle names be? Trade ideas here on great names for siblings and multiples.

Number 4 and I'm all named out...

My husband and I recently found out we're expecting number 4. Here's my dilemma. I'm normally the "baby-name person" everyone comes to for help. This was a huge surprise and I honestly don't know if I can love another baby name the way I already do my children's names. I need some serious help.

We're having a little girl. The baby will be joining big sisters:
Celeste Anabelle
Vera Mae

and big brother:
Abbott Freeman.

I'm in love with clunky old fashioned lady names but I need something that will go well with Celeste and Vera and I'd like to keep all their first name letters separate - so we don't want another 'C' or 'V' or 'A.' I'd also like to stay out of the top 300. Thanks in advance for any help! :) I desperately need it!
