D
[name]Mathilde[/name]: Very pretty…
Elowen: I’m not familiar with Elowen, but I’m guessing it’s Welsh? I think I can better see some of the other names with [name]Daphne[/name].
[name]Dahlia[/name]: I love [name]Dahlia[/name]. I can see it with [name]Daphne[/name], but you’ll have a D theme, which may or may not bother you.
[name]Maeve[/name]: I love [name]Maeve[/name]…
[name]Genevieve[/name]: I [name]LOVE[/name] it!
[name]Vivienne[/name]: I love this, too…
[name]Margaret[/name]: I love [name]Margaret[/name], but I think I can better see [name]Margot[/name] with [name]Daphne[/name].
[name]Lila[/name]: I think it’s very pretty…
[name]Isla[/name]: I can totally see [name]Isla[/name] and [name]Daphne[/name] as sisters…
[name]Penelope[/name]: I love it, and think it’s great with [name]Daphne[/name]…

[name]Eleanor[/name]: [name]LOVE[/name]!
[name]Juliet[/name]: [name]LOVE[/name]!
[name]Ottilie[/name]: I so want to like [name]Ottilie[/name], but I think it sounds pretty close to “oddly,” and worry about teasing. This may just be me, though!
[name]Aurelia[/name]: SO pretty!
[name]Francesca[/name]: I [name]LOVE[/name] it!
[name]Romilly[/name]: I can better see some of the others with [name]Daphne[/name].

I’m sorry that I don’t have time to reply fully, and I will do so later (three children under four are a nightmare at night time!), but I just must say that I adore [name]Daphne[/name], and that I noticed that [name]Isolde[/name] was on your list - I think this name is utterly fabulous (and it is one of my favourite stories) and [name]Daphne[/name] and [name]Isolde[/name] would, in my opinion, be nigh on my favourite sibset ever
[name]Pheobe[/name]!
These are the names I like with [name]Daphne[/name]
Elowen
[name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Vivienne[/name]
[name]Margaret[/name]- more so for [name]Maggie[/name]
[name]Lila[/name]
[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name]
boys-
[name]Eliot[/name]
[name]Augustine[/name]
[name]Jack[/name]
Other suggestions-
[name]Athena[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name]
[name]Camille[/name]
[name]Gemma[/name]
[name]Lorelei[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Tristan[/name]
[name]Lila[/name] [name]Maeve[/name]!
[name]Mathilde[/name] - so lovely, and perfect with [name]Daphne[/name].
Elowen - unusual and pretty, and something about [name]Daphne[/name] and Elowen is really charming. My only qualms about it would be the popularity of [name]Ellie[/name] at the moment.
[name]Dahlia[/name] - a nice name, but I feel it is too close to [name]Daphne[/name].
[name]Maeve[/name] - I adore this, but I think it is rather popular, as far as Welsh names go, and perhaps not unusual enough to match [name]Daphne[/name] perfectly.
[name]Genevieve[/name] - pretty, and nice with [name]Daphne[/name].
[name]Vivienne[/name] - nice.
[name]Margaret[/name] - classic, and with a lot of sweet nn options, but I’m not sure if it is feminine enough next to [name]Daphne[/name].
[name]Lila[/name] - nice, but it doesn’t feel as substantial as [name]Daphne[/name]. Would you consider [name]Lilian[/name]?
[name]Isla[/name] - a beautiful name, and [name]Daphne[/name] and [name]Isla[/name] are nice together, although I do prefer some of your other sibset options.
[name]Penelope[/name] - something about them having similar sounds makes me dislike this set, but it is a lovely name.
[name]Isolde[/name] - I think you know how much I adore this one!
[name]Livia[/name] - a lovely name, but ruined a little for me by the popularity of [name]Olivia[/name].
[name]Eleanor[/name] - beautiful, and a good match for [name]Daphne[/name], in my opinion.
[name]Juliet[/name] - a wonderful, classic, feminine name.
[name]Ottilie[/name] - one of my favourites, although it is quite light next to [name]Daphne[/name].
[name]Aurelia[/name] - a lovely name, and wonderful with [name]Daphne[/name].
[name]Francesca[/name] - nice, but I personally don’t feel like it compares in beauty to [name]Daphne[/name].
[name]Romilly[/name] - I’m not as fond of this one with [name]Daphne[/name].
My favourites :
[name]Daphne[/name] and [name]Mathilde[/name]
[name]Daphne[/name] and [name]Isolde[/name]
[name]Daphne[/name] and [name]Aurelia[/name].
[name]Quentin[/name] - I think this is quite nice with [name]Daphne[/name].
[name]Spenser[/name] - too modern, in my opinion.
[name]Carlyle[/name] - when spelt [name]Carlisle[/name], I quite like this, but I fear that it may become popular due to the Twilight phenomenon.
[name]Jack[/name] - a brilliant name, but a little ordinary perhaps next to [name]Daphne[/name]? I don’t know … [name]Jack[/name] and [name]Daphne[/name] is quite sweet.
[name]Quincy[/name] - a brilliant, unusual choice, but the similarity in sound to [name]Daphne[/name] puts me off a little.
[name]Elliot[/name] - I don’t think this goes particularly well with [name]Daphne[/name].
[name]Augustine[/name] - this version is a little feminine for me. [name]How[/name] about [name]August[/name] or [name]Augustus[/name]?
[name]Ridley[/name] - the -ley ending makes this seem a little too modern to me.
[name]Arthur[/name] - a vintage classic, and a perfect match for [name]Daphne[/name].
[name]Finlay[/name] - I’m sitting on the fence with this one, and it’s getting quite popular. Have you considered [name]Finnian[/name] or [name]Phineas[/name]?
Martyn - even when spelled [name]Martin[/name], I feel this is too ordinary next to [name]Daphne[/name].
[name]Tobias[/name] - a wonderful name with a sweet nn, and lovely with [name]Daphne[/name].
Wythe - I’m not sure …
My favourites :
([name]Daphne[/name] and [name]Quentin[/name]) - I prefer the others, but this is still good
[name]Daphne[/name] and [name]Arthur[/name]
[name]Daphne[/name] and [name]Tobias[/name].
Good luck!
You’re welcome!
I agree that [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Lila[/name], [name]Isla[/name] and [name]Ottilie[/name] would all make lovely middle names.
I think I don’t find [name]Margaret[/name] feminine because of all of the harsh sounds … and something about the ‘gret’ is just very final to me. I don’t find it masculine, either, just less feminine than [name]Daphne[/name].
There may be pronunciation issues with [name]Isolde[/name] - I think people who have little knowledge of [name]German[/name] (I speak [name]German[/name], and so automatically pronounce the E on the end) may say i-zold, however people often hear a name before they see it written down, and after one correction they normally have it (and there is always the nn [name]Issy[/name] to fall back on). There are pronunciation issues with a lot of names, though, and I don’t think it should hold you back - I have heard so many people pronounce [name]Alicia[/name] aleesh-a, and even [name]Penelope[/name] is sometimes pen-ell-ope (no EE ending).
Some combinations :
[name]Daphne[/name] [name]Livia[/name] and [name]Mathilde[/name] [name]Ottilie[/name]
[name]Daphne[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] and [name]Mathilde[/name] [name]Isla[/name]
[name]Daphne[/name] [name]Lila[/name] and [name]Isolde[/name] [name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Daphne[/name] [name]Isla[/name] and [name]Isolde[/name] [name]Ottilie[/name]
[name]Daphne[/name] [name]Livia[/name] and [name]Aurelia[/name] [name]Maeve[/name].
[name]Thomas[/name] [name]Carlyle[/name] is a brilliant namesake - I think I just have something against Ys in the middle of names (it’s all those yooneek spellings, ruining other names for me).
I also agree that [name]St[/name]. [name]Augustine[/name] and [name]Ridley[/name] are brilliant namesakes, but I’m yet to be won over to their names - perhaps in middle position? You seem to like religious connections - would you like me to post my favourite saints’ names? I have a list
I think [name]Quincy[/name] would be a really sweet nn for [name]Quentin[/name]!
For [name]Arthur[/name], do you like the nn [name]Art[/name]? I think it’s nice, personally.
[name]Livia[/name], [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Isla[/name], [name]Lila[/name], [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Ottilie[/name].

Good luck!
These are beautiful names. [name]Daphne[/name] is lovely and I especially like the Q names and [name]Ridley[/name] and [name]Augustine[/name]. “[name]Jack[/name]” is nice but it might need something with it. Maybe [name]Oscar[/name] [name]Jack[/name] or [name]Sam[/name] [name]Jack[/name]?

I mostly agree with Mummy’s comments, so much so that I am just going to add to her post but mostly leave it the way it is. I will add a star wherever I agree!
Mummy, we have the same ideas! Maybe we are actually twins, separated at birth.- [name]Susan[/name]
[name]Hi[/name] [name]Susan[/name] and hope you had a great Xmas! I always enjoy reading your opinions so I’m pleased you agreed with most of mine
The comment after Elowen where I said that I would use it myself was meant to apply to [name]Daphne[/name] and not Elowen. I think I started posting and had to stop and do something else, then got confused!
Agree with you re [name]Lila[/name] and [name]Isla[/name]. They are pretty but don’t have the history, elegance and classic nature of a lot of other names on the list. They are a little bit ‘now’. I am also a bit put off [name]Lila[/name] as it was used by a couple of ‘celebs’ including model, [name]Kate[/name] [name]Moss[/name].
[name]Merry[/name] [name]Christmas[/name], Mummy to 3! Yes, we think alike. [name]Do[/name] you live in [name]England[/name]?

I live is Southern [name]CA[/name]. I have a great interest in the [name]East[/name] Coast of the US and in the British Isles. But I’m such a [name]California[/name] person, I have to admit it. It’s kind of embarrassing. Cold weather really bothers me plus I don’t know how to behave at formal events. But I love the architecture, trees, libraries, graveyards, and so many more things Back [name]East[/name] and in the British Isles.
