Dreaming of another baby
I've been dreaming about having another baby for a little while now but it has gotten more since my mum died. A few names that are on our girls list Annie-Rose, Emily (After my mum), Mabel, Elsie, Elsie-Anne/Rose, Vera, Norah & Stella. - Middle names Rose, Anne, Emily or Elsie (Not with Vera). Boys names on our list Gabriel, Tristan, Aaron or Edward (Teddy), I still love Stanley but hubby hates it. - Middle Names Edward, Michael or Arthur. I'm stuck on if we should do another A name or do a Vowel letter name (A, E, I, O or U) as the 2 boys both begin with T (and 1 of the boys names on our list is another T Name). Siblings - Amy-Louise (Amy about 20% of the time, Lou/Louie or Princess), Thomas (No NN), Toby (No NN). - Last name sounds like Picture. Cant use - Ava, Ada, Poppy, Molly, Esme, Olivia, Dolly, Katie, Danielle, Phoebe, Elizabeth, Henrietta, Dorothy, Eleanor, Daisy, Indie, Oliver, Riley, Isabella, Alice, Charlotte or Rebecca.

I think Amy and Annie are too close for sisters.
I like Emily to honor your mom. My favorites from your list are Emily, Norah, Rose, & Stella. I also like Mabel and Vera.
How about Margaret (Maggie, Peggy, etc.), Claire, Clara, Julia, Laura, Martha, and Rosa?
For boys, I like Tristan or Edward (Teddy), although Teddy is a very popular nickname.
I wouldn't worry about the letters too much. Good Luck!
From your list, going with what flows with your other kids' names, my fave combos areFor girls: Annie-Rose is *chef's kiss* (balances well with Amy-Louise), Elsie-Rose if you don't want to repeat initials, Emily Anne for personal meaning, Norah Rose is lovely but it feels a bit heavy next to your other kids' names.For boys: Tristan Edward is my favourite. I like the ring of Thomas, Toby and Tristan with Amy-Louise. Aaron Michael flows well and could work as a double-barrel if you're open to it. I think Edward Stanley would be a great combo if your husband can be convinced.
Norah Emily Rosanne
Arthur Gabriel Edward
For a girl, I think Rosalie Ann would be nice. It has several nicknames - Rose, Rosie, and Annie. You could hyphenate it Rosa-Lee. Other ideas are
Lucy-Ann Marie, Stella Emily, Emma-Leanne, For a boy, I like Gabriel. It goes well with any of the three middle names. I like Thurman, Truman, and TedmundI don't think you should limit yourself to a vowel name or a "T" name. It's more important that you like the name, and it has the same vibe as the others.
Honoring your mother with the name sounds sweet. What about Emily-Rose for a girl? For a boy, maybe Tristan Arthur to continue with the Ts?
