Little Sister for Rosalie?

[sophstarry]

Hi everyone- it’s my first post! We’re expecting another girl in the spring and haven’t decided on a name for her yet.

Big sister is Rosalie- she has a “virtue” middle name.

My husband doesn’t like the idea of matching names, so alliteration, like Ruby, and cutesy floral names, like Juniper, are probably out. (But I like the florals!)

We prefer names that are far below the top 10. We’re also not Twilight fans- I didn’t realize there was a Rosalie in the books until last year!

Some names we have both considered:
Olive
Celeste
Mara
Isadora (although he doesn’t like this)
Guinevere (ehh)
Husband tried to get me to okay Cirilla but the nickname Ciri will not fly thanks to Apple! lol.

Luna and Sophie- although they’re highly ranked. I have a name that was top 10 for over 100 years, so I don’t want to subject my child to that!

If you have any ideas for us let me know! I’m so excited to meet this little human.

[name_f]Mara[/name_f], [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] and [name_f]Olive[/name_f] are lovely!!

With [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], I’ll suggest:

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] “Celie”
[name_f]Evelina[/name_f]
[name_f]Evaluna[/name_f] “Luna”
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Saskia[/name_f]
[name_f]Marilla[/name_f] “Mara” “Millie” “Mari”
[name_f]Ginevra[/name_f]

[reesestrees]

I love [name_f]Olive[/name_f] but since you are concerned about the name being too popular does it bother you that [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] is literally the #1 girls name?

I don’t love [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] with [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] - it’s too much.

I like [name_f]Isadora[/name_f]. [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] feels Shakespearean to me. Maybe something like [name_f]Bianca[/name_f] or [name_f]Helena[/name_f] or [name_f]Julia[/name_f] would go with it without being “matchy”?

[emily.eveline.barns]

I love [name_f]Mara[/name_f] and [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] with [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]!

Other names I feel go well:
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] / [name_u]Elia[/name_u]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
[name_f]Adeline[/name_f] / [name_f]Adelina[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeline[/name_f] / [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f]
[name_f]Emelia[/name_f] (any less common variation of Amelia)

[dogs_books]

i love mara, isadora, and sophie! other names to consider:
isolde
bryony
wednesday
arrietty
theodora
theodosia
arabella
nori
adelaide
cosima
october
lilith

[rbsmith]

I think [name_f]Celeste[/name_f], [name_f]Isadora[/name_f], and [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] sound great with [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]!

Here are some more possibilities:
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f]
[name_f]Elena[/name_f]
[name_f]Alana[/name_f]
[name_u]Everly[/name_u]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
[name_f]Annalisa[/name_f]

Congratulations

Firstly I absolutely love [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]! Such a beautiful name

You’ve also got a brilliant list of contenders I actually love all of them aside from [name_f]Cirilla[/name_f].

Looking at your list in further detail I think [name_f]Olive[/name_f] could be a bit matchy if you want to avoid themes as they are both obvious nature names. This also goes for [name_f]Luna[/name_f] and with [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] for some reason I’m getting twilight vibes. So in a nutshell would rule out [name_f]Luna[/name_f] & [name_f]Olive[/name_f]. I would also rule out [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] as she feels to understated with [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]. I’m feeling unsure on [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] for some reason with [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] it feels tongue tied but I’m not sure if that’s just me.

This leaves [name_f]Mara[/name_f], [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] & [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]. [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] & [name_f]Mara[/name_f] are delightful together they sound spunky and upbeat. [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] & [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] have a cool European flair the sibling set reminds me of summer. Finally [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] & [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] feel striking and romantic. Depending on whatever vibe your going for you’ve got a winning combination!

Going to give some suggestions please count any repeats as me being in agreement with the berries

[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] and…

[name_f]Geneva[/name_f]
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Amara[/name_f]

[sophstarry]

Ooh I love [name_f]Evaluna[/name_f]! [name_f]My[/name_f] husband wasn’t convinced when I first brought it up.

[name_f]Delphine[/name_f] and [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f] are both lovely. Thank you for your suggestions!

[sophstarry]

Not bothered by [name_f]Olive[/name_f] and [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]! I’m more concerned that one of my distant relatives has a dog named [name_f]Olive[/name_f]. I didn’t remember until recently.

I’m not a huge fan of [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] either. [name_f]Julia[/name_f] and [name_f]Helena[/name_f] are great name ideas!

Thanks to everyone! I’m not going to reply to all of the posts, but I am excited to show all of your beautiful name ideas to my husband tonight.

If your husband likes [name_f]Cirilla[/name_f], I’m assuming he likes the Witcher series? He may also like Yennefer, Renfri, or Triss

From your list, I like [name_f]Mara[/name_f] the best. It’s not a name you hear very often and I think it sounds great with [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]

How about [name_f]Marilla[/name_f] as an alternative to [name_f]Cirilla[/name_f]. The nickname [name_f]Rilla[/name_f] works for both and i think it means river - a nod to the nature vibe.
Also how about:
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f] (Tora - means thunder)
[name_f]Verity[/name_f]
[name_f]Fianna[/name_f]

[name_f]Keira[/name_f]

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] is so lovely!

Here are my thoughts on your list thus far:

Olive-I love love love it. It’s one of my top favorites, & perfect w/Rosalie. It’s vintage & a little quirky, & feminine w/out being too frilly, & simple but not too common & just lovable. I suppose it’s technically a floral name, but shhhh…

Celeste-I like this. It’s pretty & elegant. I feel like it’s a bit too fancy sometimes.

Mara-This is fine. It doesn’t excite me that much. Especially next to the lovely [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f].

Isadora-It’s okay. It’s a bit heavy in my opinion.

[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]- [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite girl! But it’s not for everyone.

Ha! Could you imagine a little girl named [name_f]Ciri[/name_f]? That would just get very annoying.

[name_f]Luna[/name_f] is way too popular for dogs.

[name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is cute, & it’s mostly popular because of all of the Sophias.

Here are a few ideas that you might like:

[name_f]Alice[/name_f]

[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]

[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]

[name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f]

[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]

Magnolia-It’s floral…but so cute, right?

[name_f]Nora[/name_f]

[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]

[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]

[name_f]Thea[/name_f]
