Baby Names

Sibling name for sisters Hannah & Sarah

I think we won't find out the sex of the baby due in January. Just looking for some random internet help for this new one on the way. We can't decide if the 3rd kid should have an -a sounding syllable at the end.

  • What about Olivia, Emma, Leah, Ava? Or if you don’t go with -a sound at the end, what about Rachel, Lauren, Megan, Charlotte, Molly?

  • Thanks for these. We like Leah, Olivia, and Ava so far. We can decide if 3 names ending the -a sound is a bit too matchy matchy at this point.
  • It’s personal preference, but I would avoid the matching A sound. I think Hannah and Sarah are beautiful names and they go well together, but if you add another it may sound gimmicky. Of course, that depends on the name! I wouldn’t strike out a name you’re in love with just because it ends with an A sound.

    If it's going to end in an A I think the -ia ending mixes up the sound and feels less matchy than something like Ava 

  • That's a good point. We've talked about Lydia in the past as being a contender with that -ia sound.

    Lydia is beautiful!
  • Lydia is also a bible name like Hannah and Sarah :)
  • How about Tahlia? 
  • My name is Hannah and my twin sister is named Margaret! I also have a sister named Lauren. I think our names sound good together 😜👍
  • I agree with the ia being a better fit. If you are sold on the "a," though, might I throw Alicia, Amanda, Rebecca, Ada, Delilah, and Samantha into the ring? There's a lot of names that end in the A that are classics, but less in style lately :) Rebecca and Delilah are Hebrew
    There aren't a lot of boy names that will end in an "a" since the ending sound is often female in many cultures. Ezra, Luca, Joshua, Koda, Koa, Asa... Ezra and Joshua are biblical like Hannah and Sarah. Ezra means "Helper" and Joshua means "Lord is Salvation."
