[Opinions] Nathan, Evan and Wendy?
I'm looking for a girl's name to go with my two sons' names. We love Wendy; it's a family name. But does it flow?Nathan
Evan
WendyCan anyone suggest some other female names that are short, feminine (but not frilly), and easily spelled? Thanks.

Sibling names don't have to necessarily match, so I think it would be fine. I have noticed that a lot of families give their daughters names that differ in style from that of their sons. Usually, the girls have trendier names and the boys have more traditional names. In this case, your sons' names seem more modern and your potential girl's name is more old-fashioned, but it works.Other ideas:
Ivy
Ruby
Heidi
Elsie
Ellie
Lily
Maya / Maia
Lila
Molly
Holly
Hallie
Sadie
Liv
Camille
Hope
Wren
Claire
Amy
Beth
Bethany
Laura
Nora
Addy / Addie
Annie
Maggie

Rachel

I don't really think Wendy goes with the other two. Wendy is quite dated and a little old fashioned, whereas I think Evan and Nathan are more modern (not in a trendy way, just more modern than Wendy. They don't sound ridiculous together, but they don't really match either.However,I do like the name Wendy and it might be nice to see it used on a young girl for once.

Yes, I think it flows. I like the bright, youthful image it gives me. I see a Wendy as having that big bangs, big eyes look.What about...Carrie
Nora
Penny

I think it goes well, and Wendy is really cute. It's not predictable by any means with Nathan and Evan, but I like that about it. It makes the whole set feel more breezy and offbeat
