HELP! A name for Colin's sister - stylish, sophisticated

Girl Names
1

I recently scrapped the names I have been considering and I’m starting over. I’m having a girl whose big brother is named [name_m]Colin[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]. I love his name and it was so easy to choose. I’m really struggling with my DD’s name.

Names I like:
[name_f]Ella[/name_f] - worried about the popularity
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - nn [name_f]Ella[/name_f]/[name_f]Ellie[/name_f]/[name_f]Elle[/name_f]
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] - worried she might be bored with it?
[name_f]Marin[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - husband hates it
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]

I included the names I like merely as a reference to what I’m drawn to; I want something stylish but still sophisticated and a “real” name not anything made up or too trendy. Open to any and all suggestions and feedback. Thanks!!

I love [name_f]Marin[/name_f] and [name_f]Ella[/name_f] too!
Maybe
[name_f]Isla[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f]
[name_f]Mila[/name_f]
[name_u]Elia[/name_u]
[name_f]Corinne[/name_f]
[name_f]Calla[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f]
[name_f]Elin[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_f]Carys[/name_f]
[name_f]Mira[/name_f]/[name_f]Meara[/name_f]
[name_f]Elora[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f]
[name_f]Adeline[/name_f]

When I read stylish and sophisticated, I immediately thought of
[name_f]Esme[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Miranda[/name_f]
[name_f]Mira[/name_f]
[name_f]Lenora[/name_f]/[name_f]Lenore[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Nora[/name_f]?)

To me [name_f]Marin[/name_f] and [name_m]Colin[/name_m] are too similar, but I do like [name_f]Mira[/name_f], [name_f]Mara[/name_f], [name_f]Miranda[/name_f], etc.

Otherwise I like [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], and [name_f]Willa[/name_f].

When I read your post, I immediately thought of [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]. [name_m]Colin[/name_m] and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] are wonderful together. :slight_smile:

10

[name_m]Colin[/name_m] is such a strong name. It makes me think of the English countryside – I loved the book “The [name_f]Secret[/name_f] Garden” as a child.

The children in that book were [name_m]Colin[/name_m] and [name_f]Mary[/name_f], which would actually be a fairly unusual choice for a girl!

Other sophisticated, English garden names (hopefully):

*[name_m]Colin[/name_m] and [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
*[name_m]Colin[/name_m] and [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]
*[name_m]Colin[/name_m] and [name_f]Flora[/name_f]
*[name_m]Colin[/name_m] and [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
*[name_m]Colin[/name_m] and [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
*[name_m]Colin[/name_m] and [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
*[name_m]Colin[/name_m] and [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]
*[name_m]Colin[/name_m] and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
*[name_m]Colin[/name_m] and [name_f]Mary[/name_f] :slight_smile:
*[name_m]Colin[/name_m] and [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] ([name_f]Susannah[/name_f] is so ready for a comeback!)
*[name_m]Colin[/name_m] and [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]

[name_f]My[/name_f] very favorite sibling set is [name_m]Colin[/name_m] and [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]!

11

[name_f]Ella[/name_f] - I would have to agree with you although I do like it. [name_f]Etta[/name_f] is another choice.
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - nn [name_f]Ella[/name_f]/[name_f]Ellie[/name_f]/[name_f]Elle[/name_f] - I like the nn but dislike [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f].
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] - I like this. I prefer this spelling - [name_f]Jayne[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - I love this name but it is becoming very popular again.
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] - I prefer [name_f]Willow[/name_f]

Other ideas:
[name_u]Harper[/name_u]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Elyse[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Esme[/name_f]
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lola[/name_f]

Came across [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] last night and I like it. Seems like she’d fit in with her classmates [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] etc. it’s a legitimate [name_m]French[/name_m] name but will most people think it’s a nickname? Does it belong on a diploma? [name_m]Will[/name_m] it grow into adulthood. [name_m]Colin[/name_m] and [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]?

13

I don’t see why most people would think [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] is a nickname, because it really is not. It’s simply the [name_m]French[/name_m] version of [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]. :slight_smile: I find [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] to be a sleeker, more stylish and modern version of [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] myself while it gets to retain a bit of [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]'s vintage charm. I also love the meaning.

[name_m]Colin[/name_m] and [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] are a great pair!

14

[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] is lovely! It’s not any more nickname-y than [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] rather than [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] which I think is pretty accepted as a full name. It really goes well with [name_m]Colin[/name_m] - good choice!

15

I send [name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]! [name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_m]Colin[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] sound great together.

16

I think [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] would be a perfect match!

17

I love [name_f]Ella[/name_f], but I worry about popularity too. [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] or [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]? Those are the first 2 names I think of when I see “stylish and sophisticated.”

18

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]! In fact I’m considering [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] but I think [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] is too close to
[name_m]Colin[/name_m] for the first name spot

19

[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Sally[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Chloe[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Belle[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Emma[/name_f]
[name_f]Megan[/name_f]
[name_f]Caitlin[/name_f]
[name_f]Jessica[/name_f]
[name_f]Leah[/name_f]
[name_f]Amy[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f]

I think [name_m]Colin[/name_m] & [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] are brilliant!
