Hello,

I posted not too long ago about Olivia vs Evia (Ev like Evan) and was happy to see that both names were well received!

I am loving both Olivia and Evia so much and was wondering, do I really have to choose between the two names or is there a chance I could use both names if I happen to have three daughters?

Here are the three names that I've been dreaming about: (the middle names are all family names)

Olivia Rose Marcel P. (two-syllable French last name)
Isabelle Yvette Renée P.
Evia Yvonne Jeannette P.

So, could Evia work as the third sister's name?

And if you had to choose, which sibset do you prefer?
Olivia & Isabelle
Isabelle & Evia

Thanks!

I fear that Olivia and Evia are too close to be a sib-set. I think Olivia and Isabelle sound best together, though I love Evia.

I think Olivia and Evia are too close. What about Evangeline?

I agree they are a bit close, but I also don't see them as TOO close if I'm being honest. I think it's the V.

I think you could make it work

I think Evia is nice, but I think the appeal would wear off eventually. As for French names, I really love Genevieve & Marie-Claire. What are your opinions on those?

Thanks for your feedback everyone!

- Ashooles' comment is exactly how I feel. They're close but I think passable if we don't find a third name that we like more than Evia.
- Evangeline is beautiful but I can't picture it on my own child.
- I love Claire but it's my aunt's name. I wouldn't use it as a middle name either out of respect for my cousins who might want to use it to honour their mom. Clara however is on my short list
- I've personally never cared for Genevieve and I have too strong an association with Marie-Claire magazine to use that one but I like how classic they both are.

More suggestions are always welcome! (First names don't necessarily have to be French, they just have to sound really nice in both languages)
