A reader named Kelly is expecting her second daughter in May, and she’d appreciate a few name suggestions. She writes:
Our first daughter, Maeve, was named really easily, and we grow to love the name more and more. However, we are having an exceptionally difficult time finding a second girl’s name that we like as much. I especially like Gaelic/Celtic names, but am willing to consider other options as well.
Here are some names that I think could work with Maeve:
| Beatrix Bevin Blythe Bree/Brígh Bridget Brynn Caitlin Carys Chloe Clio Darcy | Deirdre Eileen Fiona Freya Gemma Greta Gwen Hazel Iona Isla* Ivy | Lorna Lucy Lyra Miriam Moira Nora Oona Opal Orla/Orlagh Phoebe Piper | Quinn Rhona Riona Stella Sylvie Tamar Tatum Tegan Tess Tirzah Zelda |
*Pronounced EYE-la, but happens to looks just like the Spanish word for island, isla, pronounced EES-la.
Which of the above do you like best for Maeve’s little sister? What other names would you suggest to Kelly?
