[name]Hi[/name]! So let’s say theoretically you have siblings named [name]Elizabeth[/name] and [name]Josiah[/name], sometimes called [name]Betty[/name] and [name]Joe[/name]. What sibling names for boys and girls would match those?
I am thinking for girls you would have to stick to classic names but I’m drawing sort of a blank for boys. Nickname suggestions are appreciated too. These are ideas I have so far. Please tell me if you think any of these would be a bad fit and what other suggestions you have.
Thanks!
Girls:
[name]Virginia[/name] nn [name]Gia[/name], [name]Via[/name] (other nicknames besides [name]Ginny[/name], [name]Ginya[/name]?)
[name]Victoria[/name] nn [name]Via[/name]
[name]Katherine[/name]/[name]Catherine[/name] nn [name]Katy[/name]/Caty, [name]Kate[/name]/[name]Cate[/name] - which spelling?
[name]Miranda[/name] nn [name]Mimi[/name], [name]Minda[/name]
[name]Rebecca[/name] nn [name]Ree[/name]
[name]Theresa[/name] nn [name]Ree[/name], [name]Resi[/name]
Tabitha - I can’t stand Tabby or Bitsy. Any other nn possibilities? Is this too weird to be a sis to Elizabeth?
[name]Elizabeth[/name] and [name]Josiah[/name] feels very different to me (they go together very well though) so I’d pick something that’s unlike them again.
I think [name]Miranda[/name] for a girl is perfect. The others either fit with E ([name]Victoria[/name], [name]Catherine[/name] and [name]Virginia[/name]) or J ([name]Theresa[/name] and [name]Rebecca[/name]).
Suggestions:
[name]Roxana[/name]
[name]Marian[/name]
[name]Rosamund[/name]
[name]Helena[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name]
I think [name]Augustus[/name] would be cool! Also [name]Tiberius[/name], [name]Cornelius[/name], [name]Cassian[/name].
[name]Augustus[/name], [name]Catherine[/name] and [name]Virginia[/name] were my favorites from your list. I think they all work beautifully. I would be very tempted by [name]Virginia[/name] nn [name]Ginny[/name] with [name]Elizabeth[/name] nn [name]Betty[/name]. [name]Betty[/name] and [name]Ginny[/name] would be so sweet together.
Oh, and I like [name]Tabitha[/name], nn [name]Tibby[/name].
Dammit you’re kinda right. [name]Virginia[/name] called [name]Ginny[/name] is pretty great with [name]Elizabeth[/name] called [name]Betty[/name].
I love [name]Susannah[/name] but I can’t use it because my stepmonster is [name]Susan[/name]. Seriously, she’s horrible.
From the list I also like [name]Genevieve[/name] but I feel like it’s very similar to [name]Virginia[/name] so I would have to pick one or the other.
My jury is still out on [name]Beatrice[/name]. It might be too fussy for me. I have never liked [name]Rosalie[/name] fsr.
From the boys list I quite like [name]Benjamin[/name]. [name]Ben[/name] is so simple and strong. I love [name]Malachi[/name] but I’m not sure about a nn. [name]Mal[/name] just rubs me the wrong way.
I really like [name]Virginia[/name] nn [name]Ginny[/name] with [name]Elizabeth[/name] nn [name]Betty[/name]. [name]Ezekiel[/name] nn [name]Zeke[/name] would also work well with [name]Josiah[/name] and the rest of the sibset. Also, I know a [name]Malachi[/name] with the nn [name]Chi[/name] (K-eye) and I think that’s cute-- much better than [name]Mal[/name]! I also prefer [name]Joseph[/name] nn [name]Joe[/name] better than [name]Josiah[/name].
Some other suggestions:
[name]Elizabeth[/name] ([name]Betty[/name]), [name]Josiah[/name] ([name]Joe[/name]), and
