We are expectin LO#2, a GIRL! We have a 2.5 yo named Graeme and are having a tough time coming up with a name that goes well with Graeme and that we really love.
Our short list - none of which both of us are equally crazy about:
Alice
Caroline
Emily
Ideally her middle name will be Faith - a family name, she would be 4th generation with the name.
HELP!

I'm in LOVE with Alice and think it would go great with Faith as the middle and Graeme as a sibling. How about Amelia, Clara, Lucy or Hazel?
I feel like Faith needs a 2 or 3 syllable name before it to stand strong.

@Mamaof2: @Radish: I am loving Alice so much! Hoping that DH comes around to it again. It was on our list for DS too.
Cora is really sweet - DH vetoed. He def likes very traditional girl names!

@mediagirl: LOVE Clara - it was vetoed last night womp womp. I agree with the 2-3 syllable sentiment. I thought naming a girl would be easy peasy!

you totally have the same taste as me! alice and caroline were on our list and we ONLY ruled them out because of our last name 
i still adore them both.
Another one I love that we couldn't use is Maeve. Maybe too similar to Graeme with the ae combo? But I love it. I also love Rose and Lucy.
I think Alice goes best with Graeme from your short list.

@loki: i do really love caroline but im just not feeling like its her you know. We def have the same taste in names
@Mrs Green Grass: I really love it but worry about it being too plain with Graeme!

My DD is Alice and we get a ton of compliments on it! I love Caroline too! That would have been on our list if it wasn't my cousin's name!
Here are a few other names that we really liked:
Cecilia, Josephine, Kate, Anna, Margot (ok, I liked it; DH did not), Charlotte, Lila, Violet

I like Alice to go with Graeme, but if Faith is definitely the middle name, my favorite combo is Emily Faith.

Alice and Caroline both sound beautiful with Faith as a middle name and Graeme as a sibset.

I LOVE Caroline. It's one of my favs.
How do you pronounce Graeme? I've never heard that before.

@Meowkers: just like Graham We used the alternate spelling as a nod to our scottish heritage. Plus DH is an avid golfer (Graeme McDowell).

@littlebittyhouse: Ah ok. In that case my vote for Caroline doubles! I think the two sound great together.

My cousin's name is Graeme. Love it.
My only hang up with the names you mentioned is that they all feel so traditional when compared to Graeme. Of the ones you suggested, I like Caroline the best.
Would Rory be too many golfers for one family? 
Other names that come to mind when I think of Graeme = Greer, Maisie, Finley, Mackenzie or Mckenna, Lorelei, Daphne. Also like the Nora suggestion from @fairy.

I like all of them! Maybe Emily the best, but they are all good names! Just curious, how do you pronounce Graeme?
Eta: never mind saw where you answered that!

Amelia comes to mind as an option similar to Emily. We went with Amelia when some friends named their daughter Emily.
