With Daphne, I like Yvonne. If you are looking for a Y name, what about Yvette? I also like Daphne and Heather together. Yvonne Fay

I love Yasmin and have an (adult) friend by this name who is a lovely, peaceful, gorgeous woman! I just thought I'd pass on a story - the lady who made my sister's wedding dress was called Yvonne and I always recall her telling us that when people asked for her first initial (for forms, or legal paperwork etc) and she said "Y", she always got irritated looks (people thought she was asking "Why?"). It just came to mind when I saw the two "Y" names! Good luck choosing...

I love Yvonne, I have a very special Auntie(cousin really) with that name. Truth be told she is 99/100 times called Bonnie but still! Wow single sylable girls names are hard! All I can come up with are: Maeve Maude and the ever present Jane...

I really like your style. Either would go well. Maybe Yasmin just a touch better. Assuming that you don't mind either way the sisters both being 'florals'. MNs: Ruth Lark Britt Leigh Rhyll Kaye Joy Clare Gwyn Greer Pearl Jewel Wren
