Looking for a potential sister name to big sister [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f].
Would be okay with nature/flower or tree name, but not our biggest goal, and hesitant it’s too cutesy/themey. I also dislike anything with same initial or overly rhyming or repetitive sounds…L, M, B, V are all ruled out for first letter.
We like less common Biblical names or ideas. Big brother is [name_m]Lazarus[/name_m] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m].
We prefer unusual, but recognizable as a name/word, not too hard to spell.
Mn has to be [name_f]Deborah[/name_f] for family reasons.
I think I’m drawn to what I consider strong-sounding, not-so-frilly girl names, and a lot of my favs have a strong -O sound. (Which shows up in my own name, [name_f]Lois[/name_f], as well as [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]–and especially her daily nn Magno.)
Currently, top choice might be [name_f]Gloria[/name_f].
[name_f]Gloria[/name_f] [name_f]Deborah[/name_f].
Does it sound funny in combination, or too similar in ending with [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]?
I’m also really loving [name_u]Joan[/name_u] [name_f]Deborah[/name_f]. Is that too plain next to big siblings?
