I’m reviving this bandwagon as I’m very curious what name from my list you guys think is Clara’s sister. Clara is my most favorite names who honors a very selfless person in my life. Scarlett is a subtle honor for my aunt, Let@. As usual, you can pick one name from my shortlist and tell me why you think she is Clara Scarlett’s sister. The Names:
Alice January
Eula Merit
Greta Melody
Josephine Favor “Jo”
Jovie Eleanor
Luella Joy “Lula”
Martha Clementine
Phoebe Kate
Royce Madeleine
Ruby Louella
Susanna Marigold “Sunny”
Willa Dorothy
Bonus: Which name would you object most for Clara’s sister and why?
stylistically, the names feel very similar to me. Clara and Willa are beautiful together, both in terms of sound and look. Scarlett feels a little modern next to Dorothy, but the names are both so established and well-known that it doesn’t matter imo.
and in terms of what i would object to, i’d have to choose Royce Madeleine. i do think that Madeleine works very well with Dorothy, but Royce does not go with Clara at all imo. Clara is very feminine and classic, while Royce is more masculine and modern. they seem stylistically unmatched in that way - i would expect Royce to be Clara’s brother.
stylistically alice and clara a perfect match: soft traditional, and feminine without being overly frilly ! despite sharing 3 letters, they both retain a sound and quality unique to them, which is always a bonus when it comes to sibsets !
uncommon word name january feels fresh and reminiscent of the month’s main qualities: new beginnings and hope. this makes for a meaningful name, like that of your beloved clara scarlett.
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] and… [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_u]January[/name_u]!
…and I have no other explanation other than that [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f] are the perfect sisters
Not sure if there’s any special meaning behind [name_u]January[/name_u] but I also love the word name connection
(If I had to choose one to object to, I’d pick [name_u]Royce[/name_u] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]. Ik they’re both vintage names but [name_f]Clara[/name_f] feels too feminine for Royce?)
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] is classic and clear as a bell. [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] is sharp, relatively modern, with a cowgirl flair. The names that would best fit her sister are:
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite is [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]. [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] are both bright, sunny classics, [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] and [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] are both associated with colours (red and gold, respectively).
I object to [name_u]Royce[/name_u] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]. [name_u]Royce[/name_u] feels completely masculine to me.
With [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], I’m going with:
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]
The reasons:
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] are both familiar but not super, super popular. Both are classic but fresh, sweet but strong, lively but solid
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] are subtly linked via their meanings - bright, shining, radiant, clear - which is sweet
[name_f]Kate[/name_f] and [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] both are a bit of sass and sharpness to the name!
If I was to object to one, I’d say:
[name_u]Royce[/name_u] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
The reasons:
It’s not a bad name, but it has such different vibes / feels. [name_u]Royce[/name_u] is rugged and southern, very cool, a bit preppy. [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] feels more refined and classic (though still fun)
[name_u]Royce[/name_u] has such a distinctive sound and feels very underused in comparison to [name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] both have that sophisticated, older vibe, while still getting modern usage!! They both feel so sunny and bright, while being very established and known at the same time!!
I also love [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] and [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] together, as both feel more modern (while still having a history of use) and both point to colors (scarlet and gold!!). What a nice, sweet tie in!!
Finally, I like [name_u]Sunny[/name_u] with [name_f]Clara[/name_f] as it gives the image of snow crystals melting on a sunny day!! So sweet and fun
The name I’d object to is [name_f]Eula[/name_f] [name_u]Merit[/name_u], as I find [name_f]Eula[/name_f] too similar to [name_f]Clara[/name_f], sharing the two syllables, L and vowel sounds.
I spent a while deliberating between [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f], deciding to go for [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] in the end. [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] is such a great match in vibe for [name_f]Clara[/name_f], but I prefer Phoebe’s distinct sounds, making the two a more dashing pair.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] 
[name_u]Royce[/name_u] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
