Putting together a new list of choices
Please only mark any that seem very out of place to you or mark “any would go well!!!”
- amaryllis isobel “miri” “miri belle” “maybelle”
- bluma isobel “bluebell” “bonnie belle”
- évangelie rose “angie rose”
- lavender cordelia “edie”
- lilias anastasia “lily” “lilia” “lila”
- lilias anatalia “lily” “lilia” “lila”
- lilou milena “lou” “lu” “lumi”
- lumi catriona “lu” “lou”
- lumi cordelia “lu” “lou”
- lumi isobel “lu” “lou” “lumi belle” “bonnie belle”
- odelia dovesong “birdie”
- ravenna évangelie “vivi”
- talila amaryllis “tilly”
- talila clementine “tilly”
- talila catriona “tilly”
- twyla isobel “tilly”
- any would go well
For me, the [name_f]Lumi[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilou[/name_f] combos are the ones that stand out - they’re both lovely but they don’t have quite the same substance and gravity as A, O and G

Thank you for the explanation, that’s helpful! I’m not sure if I confused some people because I see some people marked “any would go well” along with other choices haha! I may have to redo the poll and just ask for votes on favorites.

[name_u]Super[/name_u] sad about this… but [name_f]Talila[/name_f] doesn’t really seem to fit somehow, for me? I think she’s gorgeous but the feeling is off somehow. I think the others are brilliant, and even Lilou/Lumi works well, but maybe I’m just biased in favor of it given the significance we discussed a day or two ago about [name_f]Lumi[/name_f] for us. I think all of these are truly special! I would 100% overlook the fact that [name_f]Talila[/name_f] doesn’t feel “right” with the others though because I adore me a good [name_u]Tali[/name_u] name. [name_f]Talila[/name_f] is so cool. Like [name_u]Tally[/name_u] and [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] smooshed and got rid of all the negative associations with [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] lol.

I agree with @Greyblue about [name_f]Lumi[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilou[/name_f]. Also, while I love [name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f] and [name_f]Odelia[/name_f] and I think they fit really well stylistically, I just personally prefer when siblings’ names don’t repeat initials. I didn’t vote for them though as I know it’s a very minor thing that most people wouldn’t notice!

I completely agree about the beginning initials, actually!!! I even would prefer to not repeat middle initials either ideally haha! It’s a pet peeve of mine too but my husband doesn’t really mind so I thought I should be willing to let it go! It bothers me less when I see more variation added first (like if I had an A, O, G, R, I, T and then another O or A). I was also thinking maybe it will bother me less to just have no repeated letters among the boys names themselves and among the girls themselves at least haha! [name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f] was the first name I became attached to as a child and a long-standing favorite of my husband’s that I introduced him to. [name_f]Odelia[/name_f] is just such a beautiful meaning to me that I’ve really grown more attached to recently!

Yes, it also bothers me less when there are more siblings between the ones sharing initials! [name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f] and [name_f]Odelia[/name_f] are both gorgeous though — I think if they’re lower down your list then the initial thing could be a good way to help you decide, but if you really love them it shouldn’t stop you from using them! Although I know that’s easier said than done I’m sure whatever you end up choosing will be lovely though!
