[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone!
I have a little girl named [name_u]Piper[/name_u] and am trying to come up with name ideas for a little sister! I tend to like more unique/less popular names, and am interested in what you may think!
[name_f]My[/name_f] current list consists of:
[name_u]Parker[/name_u]
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Lux[/name_f]
Any others you think would work well?
Thanks for your input!
[name_u]Parker[/name_u] – I think that with [name_u]Piper[/name_u] the two seem very trendy and P-heavy. I’m not liking them as a pair at all.
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f] – I feel like this has a different kind of style to that of [name_u]Piper[/name_u], but I don’t mind them together.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] – This instantly makes me think of ‘Charmed’ which could be a positive/neutral/negative thing depending on your own associations with the show. Personally, I love [name_u]Piper[/name_u] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] together as sisters (was never too fond of names [name_f]Prudence[/name_f] or [name_f]Paige[/name_f] though).
[name_f]Lux[/name_f] – I’m never sure just how I feel about this one…I want to like it, but the abruptness of it puts me off a little. I think [name_u]Piper[/name_u] and [name_f]Lux[/name_f] would make a super sister-duo though, I must say.
Thanks for your input, sunniva!
The reference to “Charmed” between the names [name_u]Piper[/name_u] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] hadn’t even occurred to me until you said something, and that’s something I definitely want to avoid. Thank you!
As for [name_f]Lux[/name_f], I agree. I like it, but there’s a part of me that isn’t sure I could actually do it. I hadn’t put my finger on it, but you’re spot on about it being so abrupt. The fact that it’s just one syllable along with the harsher sound of the X might be what’s throwing me off.
Thanks again for your response!
I think [name_u]Parker[/name_u] is too close to/too matchy with [name_u]Piper[/name_u].
I love [name_f]Lux[/name_f] as a nickname - would you consider one of the [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] variants ([name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], [name_f]Luciana[/name_f], [name_f]Lucille[/name_f], etc.) and call her [name_f]Lux[/name_f] sometimes? It does feel a bit abrupt to me on its own.
I didn’t watch “Charmed” and didn’t get the [name_u]Piper[/name_u] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] reference, for what it’s worth. I like that they share a first initial but don’t sound anything like each other. [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] seems stylistically not that similar to [name_u]Piper[/name_u] [name_f]IMO[/name_f], but I think it would work.
I agree with you that [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] has a different feel from [name_u]Piper[/name_u] - I think of [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] as a vintage, making-a-comeback kind of name whereas [name_u]Piper[/name_u] is much more contemporary. I don’t mind them together either, and if you love it, there’s nothing to say you can’t go with a different-sounding name.
Some random others you might like:
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Sabrina[/name_f]
[name_f]Zara[/name_f]
I know sisters [name_u]Piper[/name_u] and [name_u]Scout[/name_u] which I think are perfect together.
I adore [name_f]Lux[/name_f] for the Virgin Suicides reference, and it would make a great sister name for [name_u]Piper[/name_u] - they have a similar feel but very different sounds which I like a lot. [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] works, definitely. [name_m]Both[/name_m] fun and trendy, they are similar looking but very different sounds again.
[name_u]Parker[/name_u] isn’t my thing - it’s not bad, but it’s also very similar to [name_u]Piper[/name_u] (both unisex occupational names beginning with P, same ending).
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f] is lovely but a very different style to [name_u]Piper[/name_u]… I imagine [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] with sisters [name_f]Flora[/name_f] and [name_f]Kitty[/name_f] rather than something as modern-trendy like [name_u]Piper[/name_u].
Suggestions;
[name_f]Willow[/name_f]
[name_f]Tess[/name_f]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f]
[name_f]Millie[/name_f]
[name_f]Elle[/name_f]
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_f]Margo[/name_f]
[name_f]Juno[/name_f]
[name_u]Sloane[/name_u]
[name_f]Evie[/name_f]
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f]
[name_u]Wren[/name_u]
Although I actually love [name_u]Parker[/name_u] for a girl, it sounds far too similar to [name_u]Piper[/name_u] in my opinion, and too matchy-matchy.
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]- would both work. I think [name_f]Luna[/name_f] could be a nice alternative to [name_f]Lux[/name_f]. [name_f]Lux[/name_f] could be a nickname for [name_f]Luna[/name_f] if you love it that much.

I think [name_u]Piper[/name_u] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] as a sibset is to die for. The awesomeness is just out of control. I saw someone mentioned a connection with that duo to the tv show Charmed? Please don’t let that hold you back! I am in my 20s and never watched Charmed and wouldn’t think twice about any names on that show, or most other shows for that matter. And I always try to remind myself when I’m thinking of pop culture references to names I like; by the time any babies born now are pre-teens, teens or young adults, the pop cultures names of today will be long gone to them and their peers. There will be new lists of disney princesses, teen heartthrobs and hot mess starlets to worry about as far as namesakes!
[name_u]Piper[/name_u] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] all the way!! :-p
I love [name_u]Piper[/name_u] and [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] together from your list!
I also think that [name_u]Piper[/name_u] and [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] would be perfect together too!
What would be even better would be three sisters named [name_u]Piper[/name_u], [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], and [name_f]Maisie[/name_f]!!!
I think from your list, [name_u]Piper[/name_u] & [name_f]Lux[/name_f] sound the best together. I really like [name_u]Parker[/name_u] but it’s a bit much with [name_u]Piper[/name_u].
Some suggestions…

[name_u]Piper[/name_u] & [name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_u]Piper[/name_u] & [name_u]Arden[/name_u]
[name_u]Piper[/name_u] & [name_f]Lyra[/name_f]
[name_u]Piper[/name_u] & [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]
When I suggested [name_f]Lainie[/name_f], I thought if you did a C name than her initials would be L.C=[name_f]Elsie[/name_f]. That might be a cute way to get [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] in there.
[name_u]Piper[/name_u] and [name_u]Parker[/name_u] are too matchy, and [name_u]Piper[/name_u] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] are pushing it. [name_f]Lux[/name_f] to me sounds a bit like a stripper tbh. I do like [name_u]Piper[/name_u] and [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] though, very cute! Maybe a full name would be nice, like [name_u]Elison[/name_u]. Other suggestions:
