So I’ve had [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_u]Theo[/name_u], and [name_m]Matteo[/name_m] on my boy list forever, for a potential brother to [name_u]Owen[/name_u].
Without me ever making the connection, [name_f]Leona[/name_f], [name_f]Thea[/name_f], and [name_f]Mattea[/name_f] have for months been creeping their way up my girl list.
[name_f]My[/name_f] questions are just:
a) which of each do you prefer?
- [name_f]Leona[/name_f] vs [name_m]Leo[/name_m]
- [name_f]Thea[/name_f] vs [name_u]Theo[/name_u]
- [name_f]Mattea[/name_f] vs [name_m]Matteo[/name_m]
b) Which, if any, of the girl names do you think could work as a sister to [name_u]Owen[/name_u]? I’m fairly confident that the boy versions work, but the girls I’m not so sure about.
Any other comments/name suggestions welcome. Thanks!
I think [name_f]Thea[/name_f] works best with [name_u]Owen[/name_u]. I’m not a fan of the similar sounds between [name_f]Leona[/name_f] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u]. To me [name_f]Mattea[/name_f] feels off with [name_u]Owen[/name_u] because of how different they are stylistically.
I prefer all the boys names to the girl versions. I think [name_f]Leona[/name_f] works best with [name_u]Owen[/name_u], [name_f]Thea[/name_f] works well too. I’m not a fan of [name_f]Mattea[/name_f] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u].
[name_f]Leona[/name_f] is too similar in sound to [name_u]Owen[/name_u] so I prefer [name_m]Leo[/name_m]. I also like [name_m]Matteo[/name_m] better than [name_f]Mattea[/name_f]. The best sister name is [name_f]Thea[/name_f].
Thanks all, that’s what I’ve been thinking, that [name_f]Thea[/name_f] is the only one that would maybe work. I think they’re on my list more for collecting and admiring than for actual use.
And I agree that [name_f]Leona[/name_f] is too close in sound to [name_u]Owen[/name_u]… I don’t mind another long O if it’s the second syllable, like [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_u]Theo[/name_u] (and [name_f]Margot[/name_f]!), and the name has no ‘n’…
