i love Fern or Ivy or Wren or Hazel.
loving my dh and our littles (dd ~ 11 yrs, ds ~ 9 yrs, ds ~ 7 yrs, dd ~ 5 yrs and baby brother ~ 20 mo)
I do really love my daughters' names which makes this very difficult because I want something as unique and beautiful as theirs! Sariana touched on something I've been thinking about which is how the name should end. I do think something with an -y or -ie or -ene would go well with the sibling names since it is different. BUT, it seems like most of the names I like the most (like Nina) end in an -a, which Greta's already does. Do you ladies think of that as an insurmountable problem? I just don't want two of the names to sound too similar...
It's so funny, I've been thinking "wow, people wouldn't name someone Sybil because of that ancient movie?" But then I see Jolene and thought "who would name someone Jolene? She's the hussy in that Dolly Parton song!"
How about Jolie? I have a friend named that and always thought it was pretty. Or Josie (Josephine). I think Jolie and Josie work as the kid sister name.
I also agree with Green Tea that Fern lacks a musical graceful quality that Greta and Adelle have. I really like those names.
OK, sorry for the free association post, but I think the reason Fern doesn't match is because Adelle and Greta sound vaguely European, like they go to a Swiss boarding school. Fern just goes to regular public school (not slagging public schools! My whole family went/goes to public schools!).

ETA: both of my DDs names end with "a". Not a problem at all! As long as they don't rhyme, or start with the same letter it's no big deal.

Mommy to my wonderful, HEALTHY twin girls
6/08 - Preemies no more!
I have the feeling my husband would love Brigitte...y'all are good baby namers!!!
There was a little girl names Jolie in DS's baby class. It actually means "pretty" in French.
Is Brigitte pronounced BRIDGE-It or Bridge-EET? That would be my concern with that name.
