A sister to…

Tr.udy! :blossom:

[name_m]Just[/name_m] daydreaming and gathering ideas. :thought_balloon: Throw anything out there! Any style. Whatever you think makes a cute sister set! Thank you all :revolving_hearts:

Your kids’ names are all really delightful… and this one especially tickles me every time. It’s so beautiful! I can only imagine how well and wonderfully she must wear her peppy name. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I love almost every name on your thoughtful list, thank you so much @snowmaiden, this is so helpful!!! :revolving_hearts: **i wrote notes after some of the names as you can see above lol :hugs:

Oh, I love these. Martha N___ could especially be a great way to get Marnie! Martha Nell, Martha Noelle, Martha Nim. I think ‘just’ Martha works just fine—and how freaking perfect is that with big sister!? I’m in love.

Yes yes yes! This works and is so much better than Christie or Chris, I to think! Awe!!

Ginger (or Virginia even!) nn Ginny is so freaking no sweet. I love the name Ginger. That’s my sister’s best friend’s name, my friends’ grandma… such a warm, sweet, candied name.
That said… Ginny utterly and beautifully works on her own. She feels even more powerful and sturdy as a full name.

I am sooo pleased to hear Fern is already on your list somewhere! I adore this literary, natural gem! Fernie :face_holding_back_tears:🩷

This is very fair. I think naming a baby this in July of 2023 would be… rough. But I think it will become usable again! Easier to use and less “oh, like the movie coming out in three weeks that everyone and their mother is gawking over!?” anyhow.

I’m totally unfamiliar with this, so… perhaps Tru.dy and Jo.ni are too similar/related? I think they are golden for sisters! I don’t really mind much a pop culture connection myself (I kinda love them), so I’m still in!

I’m really excited you’ve enjoyed so many of my ideas—and that so many were already your ideas! Great minds… 🩷
These sisters would (will!?) be little magic creatures.

Oh my goodness @VEL did you copy and paste my long list?! :joy: these are all perfect! [name_f]Gloria[/name_f], your first suggestion, i always find myself thinking about! :revolving_hearts: I also love [name_f]Lois[/name_f] so so so much, but it’s way too similar to my son’s name :broken_heart: I’ve liked [name_f]Rita[/name_f] for a while now and it’s growing on my husband more, which is exciting! I also wish I was brave enough to use [name_f]Myrtle[/name_f]. In highschool I wrote a paper about her in the great gatsby, the name has been special to me ever since. lol :slight_smile: thank you so much for your response!!!

@river_dweller i love [name_u]Patsy[/name_u] so much!!

[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] is amazing too especially with all the nickname possibilities!! Thanks so much, seriously!!

I’m so glad you loved them, and that I could help! :sparkling_heart: It was so fun coming up with names that could hold their own and stand out next to a name as sparkly, precious, and full of personality as Tru.dy !!!

I loveee [name_f]Dot[/name_f] and [name_f]Dottie[/name_f] as nicknames for [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f], and [name_f]Cindy[/name_f] as a nickname for [name_f]Cynthia[/name_f] is so precious!! I also love [name_f]Donna[/name_f], and think she’s so underrated! I haven’t seen Madmen, so I don’t have that association with [name_u]Joni[/name_u]. I associate her more with [name_u]Joni[/name_u] [name_m]Mitchell[/name_m], the musician!
