Pick two sisters for Ginerva

Hello everyone!

I posted last week about finding siblings for Ginevra, Augusta, Cornelia, Lavinia and Charles and I got some absolutely wonderful suggestions! Now I need to narrow it down!

Some extra info if you wish

Okay, so I’m writing a fanfic for Villette by Charlotte Brontë (yes, I know, niche, weird :woman_shrugging::grin:) and since it centres on one of the characters - Ginevra Fanshawe - I want to name her siblings. In the book, she has five sisters and three brothers, but we only know the name of one - Augusta. I’ve decided on the names Cornelia and Lavinia for two of the sisters and Charles for one brother but I still need two more girls names and two more boys! The book was published mid 1800s btw

Please pick your favourite two:

  • Sophronia
  • Beatrice
  • Eugenia
  • Thomasina
  • Honoria
  • Henrietta
  • Isadora
  • Letitia
  • Annabella

I went with [name_f]Thomasina[/name_f] as it matches the grandiosity of [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f], and [name_f]Eugenia[/name_f] just matches the set overall in my opinion. I like that then, all of the girls’ names would end in -a. I also like [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] for the set but I feel like these two (+ Henrietta) make the most sense.

Good luck with writing!

This was so hard, I didn’t necessarily pick my personal ‘favourites’ (I like lots of names on that list), but what I thought went best with the sibset - [name_f]Eugenia[/name_f] and [name_f]Sophronia[/name_f]. However, looking again, I’m thinking maybe [name_f]Thomasina[/name_f] and [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] might have been better to add variety to the ending sounds? Because with [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f], that would be 3 names ending -nia. I defs didn’t want [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] to be the only one not ending in -a. Hmmm.

@krijesnica Thank you so much!!

@Lula-Rose it is a tough one since everyone suggested such good names :grin: thank you for your thoughts

I was definitely gonna suggest [name_f]Eugenia[/name_f] from looking at the title and [name_f]Verita[/name_f] would be the other name I’d suggest to ya.
