Name for sister of Christiana?

[name]Just[/name] found out we are having our 2nd girl. I was so sure I was having a boy that we hadn’t thought of any girls name!

Currently have a [name]Christiana[/name] whose name has tons of meaning (she is a 5th generation girl with name containing [name]Chris[/name]. . .) middle name is after a favorite Aunt and Grandfather. [name]Don[/name]'t feel like we can name this baby a [name]Chris[/name] name as that would make for 3 of us in one household with [name]Chris[/name] names. Thinking of a [name]Chris[/name] name for the middle name. Our last name ends in ‘ella.’ I like a lot of girls names that seem to clash with our last name for example [name]Gabriella[/name]. Looking for suggestions for both first and middle names that would work with both our last name and be a good sibiling name to [name]Christiana[/name]. Please help! :slight_smile:

Another feminine variation of a boy’s name would be cute:
[name]Eugenia[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Phillipa[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Victoria[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]

[name]Susannah[/name]
[name]Francesca[/name]
[name]Alexandria[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Anastasia[/name]
[name]Violette[/name]
[name]Katherine[/name]
[name]Jacqueline[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]/a
[name]Sophia[/name]

Another option, balance the longer name with a double barrel name:
[name]Sophie[/name]-[name]Mae[/name]

Although, I like the idea of a longer name, to be 100% honest other than not matching initals my own children’s names didn’t ‘match’, I just liked them. I know a family with a [name]Christiana[/name] and a sister [name]Bailey[/name].

[name]Christiana[/name] and [name]Evangeline[/name] make a nice pair, as would [name]Christiana[/name] and [name]Genevieve[/name]! I don’t think that a sister’s name has to be quite as long as [name]Christiana[/name] to keep up, though. So for firsts, I would also suggest…

[name]Vivienne[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] this with [name]Christiana[/name]!
[name]Angeline[/name]
[name]Juliette[/name] - also love with [name]Christiana[/name]
[name]Aurelia[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name]/[name]Beatrix[/name]/[name]Beatriz[/name]
[name]Emilia[/name]
[name]Lisette[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name]
[name]Eliora[/name]
[name]Araminta[/name]
[name]Isadora[/name]
[name]Lucinda[/name] or [name]Lucille[/name]

For a [name]Chris[/name]- name in the middle, I might stick to something shorter: [name]Chrissa[/name] or [name]Christa[/name], [name]Christine[/name], or (departing from the spelling) [name]Kristin[/name] or [name]Crystal[/name]. [name]Crispina[/name] might be a good longer middle that isn’t tied to [name]Christopher[/name] variants.

[name]Vivienne[/name] [name]Christa[/name], [name]Juliette[/name] [name]Christa[/name], [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Christine[/name], [name]Lucinda[/name] [name]Christine[/name], [name]Eliora[/name] [name]Crystal[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Chrissa[/name], [name]Lisette[/name] [name]Crispina[/name] (beautiful!)…

Best wishes!
