Rainbow baby sister for Osiris and Helios

Girl Names

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] Berries!

We are TTC after losing our second son shortly after birth and are starting from scratch on our girls list. First son is [name_m]Osiris[/name_m] nn [name_m]Ozzie[/name_m]/[name_m]Oz[/name_m]. We named our second son [name_m]Helios[/name_m] because he was born during an eclipse and likely would have called him [name_m]Eli[/name_m] most of the time.

We’ve always had a harder time with girls names. We would love a 3-4 syllable name with a cute nickname. Nice meanings are a definite plus. The name doesn’t have to be ancient or mythological, but we do want it to sound good with the other names. Middle name will be Japanese.

Looking forward to your suggestions!

So sorry to hear about Helios.
His name made me think of Cleopatra who had twins called Helios and Selene, meant to represent the sun and moon. Selene actually became a successful queen in her own right and the nn Lena/Lina would be cute.

Other ideas:
Pandora nn Panda, Dora
Andromeda nn Andie
Salome(sah-loh-me) nn Sally, Mimi
Callista/Kallista nn Callie, Lissy
Indigo nn Indy
Ambrosia nn Amber, Rosie, Rose
Eugenia nn Genie, Jean, Nia
Eulalia nn Lia, Euli, Allie
Gaiana nn Ana, Gaia
Lysandra nn Lissy, Sandy
Halcyon nn Hally

Why are none of my names going clickable? Isn’t it supposed to do that automatically?

[name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f] nn [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] would be beautiful and was the first thing that I thought of. There are a lot of good suggestions here.

I just wanted to say I’m so sorry for your loss and congratulations on your daughter.

10

[name_f]Selene[/name_f] & [name_f]Luna[/name_f] are solid suggestions, although I’m guessing you mean toward slightly more exotic picks.

I would just Google search lists of Gods & goddesses, pull a few you like and which might have nicknames you can use, and go from there. Personally I would look outside of Egyptian and Greek mythology, and sort of pick from some other cultures for the next child, but that’s totally up to you.

I’m about 80% sure I’m done having kids, but if I had had another daughter with or after Osiris her name would be Freyja Moon.

11

Congratulations on your pregnancy, I’m very sorry to hear about [name_m]Helios[/name_m]

I agree with what’s being said before, about how it would be nice to introduce some other striking names from other cultures rather than locking yourself into a theme. Although, there are lots of lovely options which would adhere to the theme

[name_m]Simcha[/name_m] nn [name_f]Simi[/name_f] or Immie

Laerke nn [name_f]Lark[/name_f] or [name_f]Lara[/name_f]

Azelie nn [name_f]Zelie[/name_f] (pronounced zay-lee or zelly)

[name_f]Viola[/name_f] nn [name_f]Ola[/name_f]

Thank you so much for all of your wonderful suggestions! These are the names on my girls list now:

Andromeda
Alula
Anneliese
Ariadne
Aurelia
Aurora
Aviva
Azami
Calista
Calliope
Cressida
Dahlia
Evangeline
Gaiana
Indigo
Lorelai
Ophelia
Pandora
Seraphina
Tallulah
Tatiana

We’ll see which ones get knocked off by DH!

I have nieces named Cassidy, Ione, Juniper, River, Keana, and Kalena, so I don’t want anything too similar. Ione and Juniper would be on our list if they weren’t already taken.

I do agree that ideally we would want to introduce another culture to not get locked into a theme. I worry with boys names because we just happen to lean towards Greek names for some reason.

Helios wasn’t even on our list with the second baby. We had decided to be surprised and thought he was going to be a girl. He was born suddenly at 26 weeks 5 days, so it was unexpected and none of our boys names fit. I actually was about to write on here for name help when I found out he was not going to make it through the night (baby and husband were transferred to a different hospital). I couldn’t focus on names, so we picked his name out over the phone after he had already passed. We wanted something to do with the sun because he had picked such an early birthday while the eclipse was happening. Since I knew we weren’t going to say his name everyday, I felt like we could pick something a little more out there… but had he lived, we probably would have gone with something else and not felt so rushed. I don’t regret his name but do feel like we might have more options if we had picked another name.
