Back to the drawing board...need opinions/suggestions
We are expecting baby #6 in early October. We've recently had second thoughts about the name we had decided on. I am looking for suggestions for a great girls name to fit in with her siblings. Also would appreciate any opinions on the names that are still in the running (listed below) and name combinations. Many thanks!
*Siblings will be:
Juliette (Jules) Maura
Bella Ryan
Mia Sloane
Leo Magnus
& Ronan Arthur
*Names still in the running:
Maeve
India
Maris
Nora(h)
Neve
Thank you so much for your time!

Some other possibilities: Iris, Caris, Vera, Zara, Lorina
I think Neve works well as a middle name in all these choices.
Thanks for your reply, Linnaeus.
I do like Carys (the Welsh spelling). We have friends with a daughter named Iris so we can't use that one. Not crazy about Vera, Zara or Lorina.
I appreciate your response and suggestions!

I wish I could remember what I voted for the first go-round!
I quite like Maeve for you.
Your kids' names as a whole have an eclectic/cosmopolitan vibe but a modern sound that makes it a good fit.
Nora seems a bit plain Jane along side the rest, though I adore it.
I'm almost sold on India, but not quite.
Neve and Maris seem like they would work, but I just don't happen to care for either.
wdyt of Carys or Kerris?
Other thoughts:
Liv or Livia
Isla
Ivy
Clara
Arden
Ainsley
Paige
Greer
Ruby
Bronwyn
I like Maeve and Nora (no h). What about Lydia, Clara, or Cora?
I like Maris, Maeve and Neve from your list. I'll add:
Claire
Sadie
Violet
Lila
Keira
Sage
Thank you, Esther E.
We have friends with daughter's named Claire, Sadie, Violet and Lila. I do like Keira and had actually mulled it over a bit. May be a contender.
Thanks again!
i like Maeve, Neve, Maris and would like to add Bryn or Brynn, out of your list, Neve stands out the most to me as a good fit.
Thanks for your response, danasurfside.
I love the name Bryn(n) but if we used that with our last name, it would be the name of a neighborhood in our city-lol!
I do like Neve a lot. Would you pronounce it Nehv or Neeve?
It can be pronounced either way.
Neve has two derivations: either as an Anglicization of Niamh (meaning "brightness," pronounced Neeve) or derived from Neva (Ibero-Latin for snow, pronounced Nehv). I'd base the pronunciation off the derivation you prefer.
Would Neve Carys work for you?
Husband doesn't care for Cary :(
