Sibset Brainstorming: Leif, Henrik... ?

Name Advice
1

Big brothers are [name_m]Leif[/name_m] [name_u]Owen[/name_u] and [name_m]Henrik[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] (though we’ve taken to calling him [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]). TTC & brainstorming names for a baby sister… anyone have ideas? With both boys, we’ve incorporated an ‘American’ family name with my husband’s european ancestry ([name_m]German[/name_m]/Scandinavian). Last name is three syllables, starts with C.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] the family name [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Aurie[/name_f]), and french name [name_f]Calais[/name_f], ("[name_u]Cal[/name_u]-AY") but not sure either fits. Contenders so far:

[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_f]Pippa[/name_f] _____?
[name_f]Caia[/name_f] _____?

I like [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], but I don’t know that it really “fits” with [name_m]Leif[/name_m] and [name_m]Henrik[/name_m]. However, sibling sets are not the most important aspect of name hunting, so [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] is gorgeous if you can’t find anything else.

I’ve been offline for a couple days w/ sick kiddo- thanks for the input and ideas! I especially like [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] and [name_f]Astrid[/name_f], and [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] is quite pretty with our last name. Still brainstorming middles too, I’m 5th generation middle name [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] but can’t seem to find a first name I love it with… would be so special to use that though. And all this of course assuming #3 is a girl! I hope :slight_smile:

I love [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]! Some Scandinavian berries might be able to be more specific, but I’m pretty sure [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] is sexual slang at least in [name_u]Sweden[/name_u]. I don’t know if you have family in those areas or not. Other ideas:

[name_f]Saskia[/name_f]
[name_f]Signy[/name_f]
[name_f]Elin[/name_f]
[name_f]Solveig[/name_f]
[name_f]Viveca[/name_f]

[name_m]How[/name_m] about…

[name_f]Elsa[/name_f]
[name_f]Inga[/name_f]
[name_f]Sigrid[/name_f] (maybe w/ nn [name_f]Siri[/name_f])
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f]
[name_f]Esther[/name_f]
[name_f]Freja[/name_f]/[name_f]Freya[/name_f]
[name_f]Ida[/name_f]
[name_f]Liv[/name_f]
[name_f]Pia[/name_f]

I love the name [name_f]Freya[/name_f]-- it already belongs to a close friend’s daughter.

[name_f]Liv[/name_f] is adorable and made me think of “[name_f]Livia[/name_f]”… which ironically was my “Latin Name” in high school, and flashes of one of my lifelong friends, [name_f]Olivia[/name_f].

What about middle names with [name_f]Livia[/name_f]?

[name_f]Livia[/name_f] [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] (family name, paternal grandmother)… any other suggestions, berries? Thx in advance!

We do have family (but extended) in Germany and [name_f]Austria[/name_f]- none presently in [name_u]Sweden[/name_u], BUT STILL I wouldn’t wish that on her! I love [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] too. Looks like [name_f]Livia[/name_f] just entered the competition though!

I love [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]–what about [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Calais[/name_f]?
