My youth leader and his wife from my home parish are having another baby in July--a girl, who will be joining Ava Grace and Andrew David. They didn't do the A theme on purpose (Andrew is named after his father). They have yet to decide on a name (and I'm unsure if they have any possible choices at this point).

Anyway, I thought it would be fun to see what you guys could come up with just for the fun of completing a sibset

Going with the A theme, I would choose Audrey Faith and disregarding the theme, I would choose Lucy Rose

Mm... I would do:

Ava Grace, Andrew David & Alice Rose
Ava Grace, Andrew David & Abigail Faith
Ava Grace, Andrew David & Audrey Charlotte
Ava Grace, Andrew David & Anna Gail
Ava Grace, Andrew David & Amelie Katherine

OR

Ava Grace, Andrew David & Eleanor Paige
Ava Grace, Andrew David & Claire Vivian
Ava Grace, Andrew David & Lucy Mae
Ava Grace, Andrew David & Isobel Mary
Ava Grace, Andrew David & Nora Juliet
Ava Grace, Andrew David & Emma Scarlett

I love your suggestion of Audrey Faith. I have Faith Audrey on my list.
And Lucy Rose is precious.

She just had the baby yesterday and they named her Ella Therese. So they now have Ava, Andrew, and Ella. While I don't like how popular Ava and Ella are, I will say that they are gorgeous on little girls. They're names I like because they do have obvious appeal, but I would never use them myself because I do tire from hearing them so often.

Also, not sure how they're pronouncing Therese, seeing as I've just seen it in print. I think its most commonly pronounced Ter-ez? Though I do believe it can be pronounced as Teh-reese or just the typical Theresa as well. I quite like Ella with the first pronunciation. They second one flows nicely as well, but if they're using the Theresa prn, I think its a bit 'a' heavy

Ella is nice, it goes well with Ava and Andrew and I like that it doesn't follow the A theme, but still kind of "goes" with the others.

I've only ever heard Therese pronounced teh-REESE. I think Ella Therese is actually really pretty and Therese is a lot more interesting than Grace or David, which are kind of dull.

Disregarding that they already named her, I would've suggested Alice Julia for the A theme.

I've been nosing around online about the pronunciation of Therese, and I do believe they picked Therese after Saint Therese (they are a very catholic and religious family after all) and St. Therese pronounced her name Ter-ez, so I have a hunch that may be the prn they're using. I know another little girl from our church who pronounces it that way as well because of the saint.

Ava Grace is quite predictable, I agree. I would've picked a more unique middle name for her. Andrew David is named completely after his father, so there really wasn't any wiggle room there.

Thanks for your opinion. Alice Julia is a really cute name - I've been liking Alice a lot recently
