Help me name Theo's sister

[liandaisy]

Would love to get some opinions and ideas on a name for my daughter. [name_f]My[/name_f] son’s name is Theodore/Theo. If we would have had another boy we would have named him William/Will (a family name). I am struggling because I do like the idea of another classic/timeless name but I also feel a little bored by some of the ones that I hear all the time at preschool or at the playground. There seems to be soooo many Lillian/Lily’s, Eleanor/Ellie’s, Madeline/Madi’s, Lucy’s and Penelope’s, etc.

Maybe this doesn’t really matter since a timeless name will always be somewhat popular and wouldn’t have really cared about naming another boy a top ten name since it was my dad’s. Anyways! There are also just so many beautiful names- can you help me out by listing your ideas or favorites that pair well with my son?

[readingreverie]

[name_f]Lucinda[/name_f] “Lucy” or “Ida”
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] “Pippa”
[name_f]Millicent[/name_f] “Millie”
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] “Ada”
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] “Jo”
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f] “Kate”
[name_u]Hazel[/name_u]
[name_u]Florence[/name_u] “Flora”
[name_f]Agatha[/name_f]
[name_f]Bernadette[/name_f] “Birdie”

I totally get what you mean though! Wanting a classic, familiar and elegant name is totally okay and also not wanting a name that is everywhere is totally fine.
What I did to help me see what is actually popular in my area is look up the social security website for my state (you can Google ‘most popular baby names per state’ or something) and go off of that list, rather than trusting what Nameberry lists the most popular overall. A name that is popular might not be so terribly popular where you live! A few suggestions are here:

[name_f]Marianne[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Diana[/name_f]
[name_f]Delia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f]
[name_f]Christina[/name_f]
[name_f]Julianna[/name_f]
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Joanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Veronica[/name_f]
[name_f]Lana[/name_f]

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] “Theo” is a great name. I’d be inclined to look for another classic name with a fun nickname, just like your son has. But first- would you consider using [name_f]Willa[/name_f]? That would be such a sweet way to honor your dad, and as a bonus, [name_f]Willa[/name_f] is an old-fashioned name that isn’t too popular right now. Other ideas, at all different levels of popularity…

[shorie]

[name_f]Helen[/name_f]! [name_f]Nel[/name_f] or [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] as nn options but I think [name_f]Helen[/name_f] by herself is beautiful with [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]. [name_f]Helen[/name_f] is classic but definitely not boring or overused imo!

I have a [name_u]William[/name_u] and I’m looking for the same type of name for my son! [name_m]Classic[/name_m] with maybe a fun nickname. Been thinking a lot about [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Margot[/name_f], [name_f]May[/name_f], [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] nn [name_f]Belle[/name_f] and [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] nn [name_u]Ali[/name_u] or [name_u]Alex[/name_u]!

[cinnamonroe]

Here’s what I thought of!

[name_f]Audrey[/name_f] (I think this one is absolutely perfect with Theodore)
[name_f]Molly[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Adora[/name_f]
[name_u]Camille[/name_u] (nn Millie)
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Natalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Alana[/name_f]
[name_f]Gillian[/name_f] / [name_f]Jillian[/name_f]
[name_u]Vivien[/name_u]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f] (nn Abby)
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] or [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Belle[/name_f] or Bella)
[name_f]Phillipa[/name_f] (nn Pippa)
[name_f]Maxine[/name_f] (nn Max)
[name_f]Julia[/name_f] (nn [name_u]Julie[/name_u] or Jules)

Sorry if any of these seem “dated” or anything, I tried to match the classic feel of [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]. I definitely recommend [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] the most, but I think all of these would sound great with [name_u]Theo[/name_u].

I think classic names will always be somewhat popular due to the mass appeal they’ve had for generations but I do believe you can find a quirkier classic!

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and…

[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] ‘Gwen’
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] ‘Evie’
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] ‘Romy’
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] ‘Tabby’
[name_f]Naomi[/name_f] ‘Mimi’
[name_f]Leonora[/name_f] ‘Lenny’
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f] ‘Tori’
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] ‘Lexi’
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f] ‘Annie’
[name_f]Annalise[/name_f] ‘Annie’
[name_f]Saffron[/name_f] ‘Saffy’
[name_f]Frederica[/name_f] ‘Freddie’
[name_f]Miriam[/name_f] ‘Miri’
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] ‘Hattie’
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f] ‘Delphi’

[name_u]Laurel[/name_u]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps

[benton_s_mama]

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f]! [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_f]Willa[/name_f] or [name_u]Mina[/name_u]! Omgoodness that would be perfection.
