Sister for Carina?

Name Advice
1

We aren’t finding out the gender for [name_f]Carina[/name_f]'s Sibling BUT that being said, IF its a girl, we only have one name we both agree on and like. However, we are not excited about it. Nothing stands out like DDs name: [name_f]Carina[/name_f]. I loved her name because it was different, underused and not too strange. Originally wanted [name_f]Corinne[/name_f] ([name_f]Carynne[/name_f]) but my husband has a cousin with the name. Also love that [name_f]Carina[/name_f] means cute and little dear one in Italian. Both hubby and I are Italian and Irish so we like Irish and Italian names. Since [name_f]Carina[/name_f]'s name is Italian we thought an Irish name would be better this time. The only Irish names we like though are [name_f]Brigid[/name_f], [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] and [name_f]Kiera[/name_f]. Hubby only likes one of these names. Other names we like but not in love with are

[name_f]Addie[/name_f]
[name_f]Camille[/name_f]
[name_f]Emily[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
Haddie
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Livie[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f]
[name_f]Millie[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]

But we also don’t like any names that are too popular (top 500). Especially since we have a very common last name that starts with M.
At a loss for any creative names that aren’t too strange too. There’s also many names we can’t and don’t want to use because close friends or family have used them. Some of those are: [name_f]Evie[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_f]Gianna[/name_f], [name_f]Bella[/name_f], [name_f]Ashlea[/name_f], [name_f]Chiara[/name_f], [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_f]Aislinn[/name_f], [name_f]Ashlynn[/name_f], [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f], [name_f]Ava[/name_f], Sophia, and [name_f]Olivia[/name_f].

So does anybody have any other suggestions? Thanks so much!

I think [name_f]Brigid[/name_f] with nn [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] would be the sweetest sister to [name_f]Carina[/name_f].

Other thoughts:
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Lenore[/name_f] / [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] / [name_f]Leonora[/name_f]
[name_f]Moira[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Oona[/name_f]
[name_f]Annette[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f]

Not all of these meet your Irish / Italian requirement but I thought they worked well.

Ooooohhhh
Also loving [name_f]Carina[/name_f] and [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]!
Sorry had to quickly add when one of my favorite songs came on by an artist with that perfectly Celtic name.

So this isn’t Irish at all… But what about [name_f]Alida[/name_f]? It’s Dutch… And means noble, and is different enough without being strange. I think it sounds great with [name_f]Carina[/name_f]. It’s my daughters name and we get compliments on it all the time. We call her [name_f]Lida[/name_f] for short.

Ps. I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Lucia[/name_f]… Its on my list if we have a girl next time!
