I’ve been going back and forth on the lovely and unexpected [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- I think she’s so dainty and fiery and unexpected! [name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Just[/name_m] have a few questions for you on her:
[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f]
Could she work as a sister for [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Adele[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f], [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_f]Talitha[/name_f], [name_f]Olivet[/name_f], [name_f]Ariane[/name_f], [name_f]Tess[/name_f], or [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]? [name_f][/name_f] I think she works ok but at the same time, I don’t have a ton of Italian names on my list as firsts.
[name_f][/name_f]
What would be your nn of preference for her? [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Fia[/name_f] and [name_f]Lola[/name_f] were my first instincts, outside of [name_f]Ella[/name_f] (which I love, but I think I’d just use [name_f]Ella[/name_f] if I wanted Ella).
[name_f][/name_f]
Would also love to know what middles you like with her [name_f][/name_f]- I’ve liked [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f] [name_f]Cecile[/name_f] for a while but am not convinced she’s “the one” if I add her to my list officially.
[name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] is gorgeous! Definitely a perfect mix of fiery strength & lyrical feminity!
[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
She definitely works with a lot of the names, but not all of them – I could definitely[name_f][/name_f] picture [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] in a sister-set with [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f], [name_f]Talitha[/name_f], [name_f]Olivet[/name_f], & [name_f]Ariane[/name_f] (they’ve all got that warrior princess vibe), but not[name_f][/name_f] with [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Adele[/name_f], [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_f]Tess[/name_f], or [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] (some a bit too classic & cottagecore, others are just super similar that strong “elle” sound).

[name_f][/name_f]
Oh, I love [name_f]Fia[/name_f] & [name_f]Lola[/name_f] as nicknames! A few other ideas could be [name_f]Lella[/name_f], [name_m]Fio[/name_m], [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_f]Elfie[/name_f], [name_f]Effie[/name_f], [name_f]Nella[/name_f], or [name_f]Elle[/name_f].

[name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f] [name_f]Cecile[/name_f] is beautiful! I’ll also suggest [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] [name_f]Hera[/name_f], [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f] [name_f]Athene[/name_f], & [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f]!
I think she works for [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Talitha[/name_f], [name_f]Ariane[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] and [name_f]Olivet[/name_f], less so for [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f], and [name_f]Tess[/name_f]. The vibes feel too different, if that makes sense. Like they don’t make each other shine?
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
I think [name_f]Fia[/name_f] would be my first choice of nickname, though [name_f]Fiora[/name_f], Fior, [name_f]Flo[/name_f], or Fi/Fee would be other considerations [name_f][/name_f]- maybe [name_f]Fliss[/name_f] at a push
This entirely depends on how diverse the siblings set is overall. In a larger family, there could be a few classics like [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] and few unusual or unexpected choices like [name_f]Talitha[/name_f] and [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f]. That’s very reasonable to me, because names are chosen for each specific child first and foremost. If it was a sibling set of two, I don’t mind the idea of [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] with most of the names – [name_f]Tess[/name_f] bothers me the most as it seems to suggest ‘tomboy’ and ‘princess’ purely through the contrast, while the rest feel a lot closer in vibes.

I would probably go with [name_f]Effie[/name_f], which I like for a nickname around the home. I also think [name_f]Flor[/name_f] could work which has a certain charm. There’s Filly and [name_f]Elf[/name_f] too.

[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f] is gorgeous, just not sure if I like [name_f]Cecile[/name_f] at the end. What about [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f] [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] or [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f] [name_f]Peridot[/name_f]. Other ideas… [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] [name_f]Dulcie[/name_f] [name_f]Helene[/name_f], [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] [name_f]Orla[/name_f] [name_f]Christine[/name_f] or [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] [name_f]Ophélie[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f].
Thank you everyone! [name_f][/name_f] The reassurance is definitely helping me feel more comfortable with [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f]! [name_f][/name_f] I think [name_f]Fia[/name_f] and [name_f]Lola[/name_f] are still my favorite nicknames for her, but I’m also entertaining [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] or [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] [name_f]Katharine[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- which could give me one of my favorite double barrels (Ella-Kate!).
[name_f][/name_f]
I’ve always found her rather hard to pair up, combo wise, since most F names for me are orange which is not a color I usually love. [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] is no exception, but I do like the idea of something like [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] Esme/Madeleine quite a lot. [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f], too, is pretty! [name_f][/name_f] (@Greyblue[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- of all the I middles you suggested, a little surprised [name_f]Iris[/name_f] wasn’t one of them! [name_f][/name_f] lol!)
[name_f][/name_f]
More than open to more combo ideas; like [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f] a lot but also have [name_f]Esme[/name_f] [name_f]Philomena[/name_f] and [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f] [name_f]Vale[/name_f] as “maybes” for my list right now, so I’m not sure I’m as committed to her as I would’ve been otherwise.
[name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is[name_f][/name_f] super pretty and bright now you mention it [name_f][/name_f]- I think “little flower” “iris flower” was getting a bit tooooo floral for my personal tastes!!
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] though [name_f][/name_f] I could see that. [name_f]Or[/name_f] [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]. [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]?
I think [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] is gorgeous. For siblings, I think she works best with [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Talitha[/name_f], [name_f]Olivet[/name_f] and [name_f]Ariane[/name_f]. [name_f]Fia[/name_f] and [name_f]Lola[/name_f] are good nicknames, but I also like Fior. [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f] is lovely but I am not so keen on [name_f]Cecile[/name_f] at the end.
I am loving all of your sister ideas, your combo, everything here!!! I went to school with a [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] when I was small. She was a sweetie. Her nickname was [name_m]Fio[/name_m]!
[name_f][/name_f] I could see that. [name_f]Or[/name_f] [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]. [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]?
