I couldn't vote because IMO so many of them don't go! The only ones that I like are:
Sydney, Juliet and Brynne.

I voted Sydney doesn't go with brothers Stenson, Cameron & Elliott because with three brothers a girl hates to be confused as another brother. She would probably like to have a name that is identifiably female. (I love Evelyn & Juliet off your list with her brother's names!)

Your boys' names sound a lot fresher than Agnes - sounds a little more old fashioned and not quite as classic as your other children's names. But, just my opinion....

Since you could only vote for one, I chose Gladys but in truth, my opinions were.....


Gladys & Agnes are far too old-fashioned and 'stuffy' sounding with the modern trend sound of surnames Stenson, Cameron and Elliott for brothers.

I couldn't vote because there were only a few that sound well to me.

On the list, I voted for Keelin, because it was the least recognizable name of the bunch. Stenson isn't highly used, but Elliot and Cameron are, if not exactly popular, at least very recognizable names. Few people are going to know how to pronounce Keelin, and you are going to get questions like, "How did you come up with that name?"

I want to say that the names of your children all have some hipness to them, so I want to match a name up with them that had that hip edge to it. I'm going to say that Agnes and Gladys don't have the "it" factor to them, though they are both very fine names. Brynne is more cutting edge and sounds good with the other names, but I personally think it's a bit trendy-sounding. That leaves Evelyn, Imogen, Juliet, and Sydney. Do you mind if I try to cut from here?

I'm going to cut Evelyn because perhaps it's a little too old-fashioned with the other names, and so you don't have siblings with the same first letter (Evelyn & Elliot). I'm also going to eliminate Juliet because it has the same ending sound as Elliot. So Sydney and Imogen are left. I say Imogen! Pretty, classic, unusual, kind of funky, and a GIRL'S name! Of course, Sydney is a girl's name too, but it can be a boy's name with the spelling Sidney, and I think after three boys, your daughter should have a girly name!

That was fun! I'm sorry for coming up with so many innocuous reasons for cutting names off your list. You have a lot of pretty names on your list. Good luck and please let us know what you end up selecting.

With 3 older brothers, I would choose a nice feminine name - especially growing up in a house full of boys! The only name with femininity is Juliet - but it's a little tough with Elliott right ahead of her... I definitely don't care for the other names - a few remind me of animals in Charolette's Web - and others are just so boyish that when you sign your cards some will think you have 4 boys - hence, I'd choose something very pretty... I can see you want something different... Maybe Savannah? Haliegh (pn Hallie), Hannah, Elizabeth (call her Ellie), etc...
