Perfect sister to Leo

Here we go again…

Boyfriend has decided he likes [name_m]Leo[/name_m] has a first name…he’s been back and forth about a million times on it (It’s his fathers name and his middle name).

I love it! But, for some reason I can’t seem to find a girls name that goes with it that I absolutely love… [name_f]My[/name_f] favourite options at the moment are:

[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] “[name_f]Mila[/name_f]” [name_f]Jane[/name_f] or [name_f]Mila[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]- don’t know if this is too much “L”

[name_f]Gwen[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] or [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]- I like this a lot… don’t know if I can sell him on it

[name_u]Hadley[/name_u]- I think this is a great name, but he hates it :frowning:

What would you name a sister to an adorable baby [name_m]Leo[/name_m]?
(middles would either be: [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Knight[/name_m]/[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_u]Bradley[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]/[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Knight[/name_m])

I like [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] “[name_f]Mila[/name_f]” more than [name_f]Mila[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] - this feels like it’s made up of too many common/time stamped. [name_f]Mila[/name_f] and [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] are both popular (I think). I love [name_f]Jane[/name_f] though and I love [name_f]Mila[/name_f] as a nn!

[name_f]Gwen[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] feels off and sort of runs together. [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] feels a bit better.

[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] - I don’t love it, especially if you use [name_u]Bradley[/name_u] as a MN for [name_m]Leo[/name_m].

[name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Mila[/name_f] is super cute though!
Other ways to get [name_f]Mila[/name_f]:
[name_f]Camila[/name_f], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Milena[/name_f]

But I love [name_f]Emilia[/name_f]!
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] works too, but it would be better if [name_m]Leo[/name_m] was a nn for something (ie. [name_m]Leonard[/name_m], [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] ect.)

[name_f]Mila[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] would be my pick from your choices! Not too much L in my opinion. What do you think about [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] or [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]? They would be adorable in a sibset with [name_m]Leo[/name_m].

Thanks, @waverly123!

Unfortunately, I don’t think I could convince him to use a full name for [name_m]Leo[/name_m] (though I would really, really love to!)

I do love the sound of [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] “[name_f]Mila[/name_f]” [name_f]Jane[/name_f]: I think that this is what I would use instead of a double middle because her nickname would be used all the time.

@oiseau! Thank you! I love [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]!! [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] would be adorable…

I like [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] as well, but I worry about the “v” sound running together with the last name (which starts with “v”)

[name_f]My[/name_f] first name and last name run together and sound like “kryptonite”-- haha, never been a problem, but it’s always bothered me!

I looove [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. [name_f]Mila[/name_f] is such a cute nn and [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] is so elegant! [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] are adorable [name_f]IMO[/name_f]. The others aren’t really my type but I really love the first combo. Good luck!

Thanks, @aza :slight_smile:

I love [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] nn [name_f]Mila[/name_f]. [name_f]My[/name_f] vote is for [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Knight[/name_m].

[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Knight[/name_m] is a very handsome combo. [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] nn [name_f]Mila[/name_f] is very pretty but it’s a little matchy with [name_m]Leo[/name_m] (it’s the “lia” part). I think it would be better to avoid a name that ends in the “lia” sound. [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] is too boyish with [name_m]Leo[/name_m] so I’m going to have to cast a vote for [name_f]Gwen[/name_f]. However, these are some my favourite girls names that would be lovely matches for [name_m]Leo[/name_m]'s sister.

[name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f]

Some really great suggestions! Thanks so much, @mischa!

[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]! [name_m]Leo[/name_m] & [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] or [name_m]Leo[/name_m] &[name_f]Elysia[/name_f]. Out of your choices I prefer [name_f]Emilia[/name_f]:slight_smile:

I like [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] with [name_m]Leo[/name_m]. Another suggestion is [name_f]Jane[/name_f] for a first name. [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m] make a wonderful pair!

@svea

[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] is a guilty pleasure of mine. However, someone once pointed out to me that it sounds like “i feel ya” and that’s now all I can hear. :frowning:

Thank you everyone for your responses. Some really awesome suggestions, including [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]!!!

Does anyone have any more ideas for the perfect sister for [name_m]Leo[/name_m]?

[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Knight[/name_m] is so handsome! I adore it.

Honestly, [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] is my first thought. [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Isabel[/name_f]! I try hopelessly not to suggest my favorite name, but sometimes it just comes out. There’s something about [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] that’s so magical and perfect. They both have this really great Latinate-yet-classic vibe to them, and I think they work really well as a pair. I also really love [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]/[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]/[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]/[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] with [name_m]Leo[/name_m]. What about:

[name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Juliana[/name_f]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Mattea[/name_f]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Nadia[/name_f]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Odilia[/name_f] (recently came across this and I find it so stunningly beautiful! The source I found it with said it was [name_m]German[/name_m], but it seems to have a lot of Hispanic usage, as well, so it seems pretty international–just like [name_m]Leo[/name_m]. I think [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Odilia[/name_f] would be great, as well!)
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Georgia[/name_f]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Flora[/name_f] (a lot of similar sounds, but I still really love them together, and I think [name_f]Flora[/name_f]'s really great in general. I also like [name_f]Fleur[/name_f]…)
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Eva[/name_f]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Magda[/name_f]/[name_f]Magdalena[/name_f]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Helena[/name_f]/[name_f]Helene[/name_f]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]

Good luck!

You will kind of get your wish, @ashthedreamer…[name_f]My[/name_f] dog’s name is [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] ([name_u]Izzy[/name_u]!) Hahaha… I couldn’t resist.
and [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] is my car’s name… [name_m]Long[/name_m] story :slight_smile:

I really, really like [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] (Care-O-[name_f]Line[/name_f] pronunciation)

I also enjoy:
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] (but I would hate the idea of anyone calling her [name_u]Mattie[/name_u])
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] (last name starts with V and it kind of runs together :frowning: )
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Eva[/name_f] ([name_f]Eva[/name_f] is my grandmother’s name [see violet] and my other grandma is [name_f]Helen[/name_f]- I’ve thought of [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], but again, the “V”)
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]

Thanks so much!!! Great suggestions!!
