HelpMore Baby #4 ideas
My husband and I were brainstorming last night and we are liking these ideas right now
Elisabeth Ellen Rose- Elisabeth is my mother's name, and oldest's middle name, Ellen and Rose are both great grandma, one of my grandma's and one of his
Marie Margaret- we just like Marie, it sounds very classy and dainty, like a ballerina
Ruth Margaret or Alice "Ruthie"- I just like it because it sounds simple and wholesome, and would sound good with Anne, Tim and Eddie, makes me think of a little girl eating an apple in her playroom, but could easily be a grown woman
Harriet Jane- someone suggested Harriet to me last time and I thought it sounded cute
Joan Alice or Margaret "Joanie"- I'm embarrassed to admit it but I'm partially into Joan because I was a big Mad Men fan when it was first airing, she was such a strong character, all qualities I would want in my child
Victoria Elisabeth "Vicky"- somebody suggested this combination to me and I think it sounds so classy, it gives me a similar feeling as Marie, a graceful ballerina in my mind, possibly because when I did ballot his little girl my teacher was a Vicky.
Cynthia Ellen Rose- I've always kind of liked Cynthia, it's what I was originally going to name my oldest before his mom passed away so we named that one after her, no regrets though she is definitely an Anne/Annie
Jane Alice- Jane was the name of my childhood best friend, and my family loves Alice in Wonderland, we seen just about every single one of the movies made
Just a few mix-n-match combinations we were thinking of, what's your favorite ones? If you didn't see my previous post my other babies are
Anne Elisabeth
Timothy Michael
Edward Samuel
If it helps
This baby will either be the 2nd to last baby, or THE last baby, so I want to pick a good one to round it all off, and don't want her thinking that it wasn't one I didn't put a lot into just because she was 4th.

Do you like Hattie by itself?

I wouldn’t reuse Elisabeth personally.
I love Ruth nn Ruthie, both on its own and with your others.
Both combos sound nice but Alice is so lovely, so unless Margaret is a family name I’d pick Alice (and it sounds like your family has a connection to that one).
Marie is my second favourite option. Harriet nn Hattie is a good fit too.
I think Jane and Anne are too similar sounding, personally. I also feel like frilly simpering Cynthia makes Anne look plain and beige in comparison, and Victoria is lovely but a better fit with your boys, making Anne the odd one out.
Congrats!

Beige? I only know the color I don't know what it means as an adjective

Boring, non-offensive, everyday, blah

Oh, I hadn't even thought of Hattie yet, thank you

Thank you

Ruth Margaret or Ruth Alice are the best choices imo.

If you really feel this way, ditch Elisabeth-- it's already your daughter's middle name and it looks lazy-- like "Yeah, we couldn't think of anything better so we just reused a name".
Plus, you have all these honoring names, why would you honor the same person twice when you could honor someone you haven't honored before?
Victoria Ellen Rose has the same flow as Elisabeth Ellen Rose and can replace both the Elisabeth Ellen Rose and Victoria Elisabeth combos.
I think Marie Margaret, Jane Alice/Joan Alice, and Ruth Margaret "fit" best (all of your kids first names are popular as middle names; so are Marie, Jane, Joan, and Ruth) but in terms of style I think they all work (Cynthia stands out that most, all the other names you have are very classic and Cynthia very much had a moment [the 60s], but it still doesn't feel terribly out of place).
My favorite combo (just based on what I like) is Harriet Jane-- Harriet's cute and I think it's up-and-coming-- it'll chart in a couple years.
