I have lately been starting to love the name [name_f]Petra[/name_f]–I love the Nordic-but-usable feel, and I love that it reminds me of [name_m]Peter[/name_m], too, who is one of my favorite Biblical characters ever. I struggle to imagine [name_f]Petra[/name_f] as a sister to some of my favorites, though–[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Petra[/name_f]? [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] and [name_f]Petra[/name_f]? [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and [name_f]Petra[/name_f]? I suppose it could work, but I do like it better as a MN, at least for now.
Any ideas for a FN for [name_f]Petra[/name_f]? I love the idea of [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] or [name_f]Louise[/name_f] to follow it (for example, I’ve loved [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] and [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] in the past, but I think I have other [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] and [name_f]Adele[/name_f] combos I like even more), or a family name (like [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] or [name_f]Jane[/name_f]–I think classics pair so well with [name_f]Petra[/name_f]!), but I’m drawing a blank on a good FN for the ______ [name_f]Petra[/name_f] _____ construction. Any ideas?
Thanks, ladies! I find myself really admiring [name_f]Esme[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f], [name_f]Emmanuelle[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] (or maybe _____ [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Emmanuelle[/name_f]?), and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] (which I didn’t think I’d like, but now that I’m playing around with it, I could really like it, I think!). [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], [name_u]Eloise[/name_u], [name_f]Helene[/name_f], [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], and [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] all have potential, as well!
Anyone else have any ideas for a FN for [name_f]Petra[/name_f]?
@jariel - thank you so much! I love [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] (if I wasn’t so tied to [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_u]Dagny[/name_u] [name_f]Hope[/name_f], I’d be super tempted to switch it over!), [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f], and [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f]!
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] and [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] are definitely on the list of maybes. I’ve noticed that I really like super feminine (bordering on princessy/frou-frou) names with [name_f]Petra[/name_f] the best. [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Adele[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]…
[name_u]Ariel[/name_u] [name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_m]Cymbeline[/name_m] [name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Eugenie[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] (I know you have this name in another combo, but I like it with [name_f]Petra[/name_f] too!)
[name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Jessamine[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Oriel[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f]
Sylvanie [name_f]Petra[/name_f]
I’m not a huge fan of [name_f]Petra[/name_f] tbh but I actually love [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] and [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f]!
@ceryle - I do like [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] a lot, but I love the idea of [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] even more! There’s just something about it, and with a family name, I don’t think the flow will sound as off as it does with just [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f]. ([name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Natalie[/name_f], [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Eileen[/name_f], [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], etc.). It just shot to the top of my list for [name_f]Petra[/name_f] combos!
@kjh446 - thank you! I love [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] (although I think I am pretty set on [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_u]Hero[/name_u] [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] for my [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] combo, but it is adorable!), and I’m intrigued by [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f], too!
