[name_f]Alexandria[/name_f]/[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]- beautiful, classic

[name_f]Annalise[/name_f]/[name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]- love this until I starting reading it as anal ease
[name_f]Seraphine[/name_f]/[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f]- a little too much but I like it
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], and [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] are beautiful but just don’t seem to fit with a name as unique as [name_f]Demelza[/name_f] (sooo gorgeous btw).
I also just want to give some love to [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f], [name_f]Linnea[/name_f], and [name_f]Bronagh[/name_f] even though they’ve been vetoed by previous posters.
[name_f]Alana[/name_f]/[name_f]Alina[/name_f] - Pretty
[name_f]Felicia[/name_f]/[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] - Not one of my favorites.
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - Too old-school for me.
[name_f]Lenore[/name_f]/[name_f]Lenora[/name_f]/[name_f]Leonore[/name_f]
[name_f]Bronagh[/name_f] - A little odd to me.
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] - Like this name a lot!
[name_f]Alexandria[/name_f]/[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] - Pretty!
[name_f]Arianne[/name_f]/[name_f]Ariane[/name_f] - Not a fan of these, I personally prefer [name_f]Ariana[/name_f]/[name_f]Arianna[/name_f].
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] - Beautiful!
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] - Cute, but not my favorite.
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] - Average, doesn’t stand out to me.
[name_f]Odette[/name_f] - Okay, not too bad.
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] - I don’t really like this name.
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] - Not one of my personal favorites.
[name_f]Linnea[/name_f] - My name! I’m not sure where you’re from, but I’m from [name_u]Sweden[/name_u] and here it’s very common. I’d say it’s a fairly nice name, but depending on where you live, people will probably have trouble pronouncing it.
[name_f]Vittoria[/name_f]/[name_f]Victoria[/name_f] - A little too old for me.
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f] - Not a fan, not sure why, but I don’t really like this name.
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] - Not one of my favorites.
[name_f]Leonie[/name_f] - [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t really like this one either.
[name_f]Emmanuelle[/name_f] - Or this one.
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] - I have a friend with this name! It’s very pretty.
[name_f]Carina[/name_f] - Okay.
[name_f]Odilia[/name_f]/[name_f]Odelia[/name_f] - Not a fan.
[name_f]Rosemarie[/name_f] - Cute, but a little dull.
[name_f]Annalise[/name_f]/[name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] - Same with this one.
[name_f]Seraphine[/name_f]/[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] - Really pretty, love this name!
[name_f]Demelza[/name_f] is beautiful and unusual. I think an ordinary, more common name would just look uninteresting and plain next to it, would be overshadowed by her sisters name. Because of that I’d rule out [name_f]Alana[/name_f]/[name_f]Alina[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], [name_f]Alexandria[/name_f]/a, [name_f]Arianne[/name_f]/[name_f]Ariane[/name_f], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]/[name_f]Felicia[/name_f], [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosemarie[/name_f].
Of the names left I like [name_f]Marina[/name_f], [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f], [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f], [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] and [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] with [name_f]Demelza[/name_f]. I think something a bit unique and magical would be great, would you consider [name_f]Evanthe[/name_f], [name_f]Arietta[/name_f], [name_f]Roxana[/name_f], [name_f]Elodie[/name_f], [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f], [name_f]Jessamine[/name_f] or [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f]?
From your list I like [name_f]Marina[/name_f], [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] and [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] best with [name_f]Demelza[/name_f]. They’re unexpected enough to stand up to [name_f]Demelza[/name_f] and pretty in their own rights.
From your list I like [name_f]Odette[/name_f], [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] and [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] the best. I’d love to meet a little one with any of those three names. You might also like [name_f]Ottoline[/name_f] and [name_f]Odessa[/name_f]?
[name_f]Lovely[/name_f] list! I adore so much of these names so I’m just going to pick the ones I think sound best with [name_f]Demelza[/name_f], because otherwise I’ll probably say yes to 95% of it.
I’m not liking all the soft names next to spunky, almost clunky [name_f]Demelza[/name_f]…
For that reason I would cut [name_f]Alana[/name_f]/[name_f]Alina[/name_f], [name_f]Arianne[/name_f]/[name_f]Ariane[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f]/[name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Emmanuelle[/name_f], [name_f]Marina[/name_f] and [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]/[name_f]Annalise[/name_f]. Possibly also [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] and [name_f]Linnea[/name_f], but they’re so unusual I think they could better hold their own next to [name_f]Demelza[/name_f]. [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] in particular!
I just plain dislike [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f], [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] and [name_f]Celeste[/name_f]. I also think they’re too familiar, if that makes sense. Not necessarily common or overused, just way too known.
[name_f]Carina[/name_f], [name_f]Alexandria[/name_f], [name_f]Felicia[/name_f]/[name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], [name_f]Rosemarie[/name_f] and [name_f]Seraphine[/name_f]/[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] all feel a little too expected as well.
For the rest of the list there’s now these:
[name_f]Lenore[/name_f]/[name_f]Lenora[/name_f]/[name_f]Leonore[/name_f] - I think I like [name_f]Lenore[/name_f] the most with [name_f]Demelza[/name_f], although she’s a bit darker. The others are a little too ladylike.
[name_f]Bronagh[/name_f] - My instant favourite with [name_f]Demelza[/name_f] actually, but I suspect it’s mostly because they have similar backgrounds. [name_f]Bronagh[/name_f] is every bit as wonderfully unexpected as [name_f]Demelza[/name_f], they would be perfect for sister [name_f]IMO[/name_f].
[name_f]Odette[/name_f] - Has the same brand of spunk as [name_f]Demelza[/name_f]. Would love [name_u]Elzie[/name_u] and [name_f]Etta[/name_f]! My second favourite.
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] - A little too bright next to [name_f]Demelza[/name_f]. Good but more cute than spunky.
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] - Perhaps a little prim? I’m not sure what name I’d use for a third daughter after [name_f]Demelza[/name_f] and [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]. I can’t think of anything to bridge the gap.
[name_f]Vittoria[/name_f] / [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] - putting these together because they feel very equal to me. I love either with [name_f]Demelza[/name_f]. They have the same offbeat feel as [name_f]Demelza[/name_f].
[name_f]Odilia[/name_f]/[name_f]Odelia[/name_f] - I like these with [name_f]Demelza[/name_f], but I’m not so sure about them sharing both the prominent D and L plus the -a ending. I like the others more.
Ranking my favourites:
[name_f]Bronagh[/name_f]
[name_f]Odette[/name_f] or [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] ([name_f]Leonor[/name_f]!?)
[name_f]Vittoria[/name_f] or [name_f]Antonia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lenore[/name_f] or [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] or [name_f]Odilia[/name_f]/[name_f]Odelia[/name_f], but I would possibly just cut these from the list, along with [name_f]Lenora[/name_f] and [name_f]Leonore[/name_f]
I only have one suggestion, [name_f]Leonor[/name_f]. [name_f]Leonor[/name_f] is awesome and you could use [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] as well. It’s a lot like [name_f]Lenore[/name_f] but a little more fun in my opinion. [name_f]Demelza[/name_f] is fun to say, a happy name. [name_f]Lenore[/name_f] is a little melancholy. [name_f]Leonor[/name_f] has more spirit, especially with nn [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] ^^
My choices to go with [name_f]Demelza[/name_f] would be:
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
[name_f]Linnea[/name_f]
[name_f]Odilia[/name_f]/[name_f]Odelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Annalise[/name_f]/[name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]
[name_f]Seraphine[/name_f]/[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] but I like Sephirra better
Have you considered [name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f]/[name_f]Bronwen[/name_f]?
[name_f]Demelza[/name_f] is lovely! I’m a little biased, as [name_f]Odelia[/name_f] is one of my favourite names, but I think it would fit beautifully with [name_f]Demelza[/name_f]. [name_f]Odette[/name_f], [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] and [name_f]Emmanuelle[/name_f] would be lovely too. Best of luck and happy naming!
First off, I just want to say that I absolutely ADORE Demelza, it is on my favourite name list
Alana/Alina - Alana just reminds me of Honey Boo Boo, I prefer Lana or Lena as the A just seems like a bit of an add on.
Felicia/Felicity - I think Felicity would be lovely for a sister for Demelza, especially with the nn Flick, it would have just the right amount of spice.
Charlotte - lovely, but a bit plain next to Demelza.
Lenore/Lenora/Leonore - Not a fan, reminds me of the fabric softener.
Bronagh - I am not a fan of Br- girls names,
Scarlett - I think that even though Scarlett is much more well known, I think it is still lovely with Demelza as it has that same, feminine yet fiery quality.
Alexandria/Alexandra - A bit plain.
Arianne/Ariane - I like the name, but I feel like I hear the ‘Ari-’ so so much nowadays, and as well with Ariana Grande in the charts, I feel like it might become associated with this decade.
Aurelia - Seems a bit too princessy.
Emilia - Same as Aurelia.
Amelia - A bit too common.
Odette - LOVE! Out of your choices this would be one of my favourites for Demelzas sister.
Ottilie - I just don’t think it sounds as lovely as Odette.
Marigold - Another love, would be wonderful with Demelza.
Linnea - Again, another name I think would be lovely with Demelza.
Vittoria/Victoria - A bit plain and common.
Celeste - I like it with Demelza, just not as much as others on your list.
Antonia - I really like this with Demelza.
Leonie - Not a fan of this name.
Emmanuelle - A bit too princessy again.
Marina - I am a bit indifferent towards this.
Carina - Same as Marina, but I like it a little less.
Odilia/Odelia - Prefer Odette.
Rosemarie - A bit too flowery.
Annalise/Anneliese - I just don’t like Anna- names.
Seraphine/Seraphina - Love Seraphine especially with nn Sephy
My choices from your list: Felicity, Scarlett, Odette, Marigold, Linnea, Antonia, Seraphine.
I would also suggest Kirrily, Verena, Cecily & Ottoline
