Fresh perspective on names for sister of Beatrix?

    [name_f]Delphinia[/name_f] doesn’t sound made up. I’d pronounce it del-FINN-ee-uh, which makes the nickname [name_m]Finn[/name_m] most likely. :dolphin:

    [name_f]Viola[/name_f] has a super strong O sound. You’d have to make sure you’re happy with that. It’s similar to the sounds in [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f], though, and that name gets a little of love on NB. With the strong O sound, it’s not very close to [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. I don’t pronounce the O in [name_f]Violet[/name_f] at all. If you like [name_f]Lola[/name_f], [name_f]Dolores[/name_f] is the go-to long form. But, unfortunately, it means “pains.” Maybe [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] called [name_f]Nola[/name_f]?:violin:

    I think [name_f]Floriana[/name_f] is pretty. It has a precedent in the name [name_f]Gloriana[/name_f]. [name_f]Lori[/name_f] is a pretty nickname if you need one. :cherry_blossom:

    I voted for [name_f]Azalea[/name_f]. It has pretty sounds like the popular [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] and rising [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]. But it’s less popular and brings to mind a flower. [name_f]Zalie[/name_f] seems like the obvious nickname, but you could easily use [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] in full. It’s 3 syllables: a-ZAL-ya. I’ve never met an [name_f]Azalea[/name_f]. :hibiscus:

    [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] does have a very dominant “nerve” section. If you want [name_f]Minnie[/name_f], maybe go a different route? [name_f]Carmen[/name_f], [name_f]Lumen[/name_f] :bulb:[name_f][/name_f], [name_f]Lumina[/name_f] (Loo-MEEN-a), [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f], [name_f]Minette[/name_f], [name_f]Willamina[/name_f]

    [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] is very much associated with a video game to me.
