Sister for Dorothea

Micke156 · August 26, 2018, 2:15pm

[name_m]Just[/name_m] found out we are having another girl!! We don’t find out with our first so it’s kind of fun getting to narrow down to a specific gender

Big sister is [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] [name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] W____. We sometimes call her [name_f]Dot[/name_f].

Last name rhymes with milky.

We obviously adore vintage names but also wouldn’t mind adding an element of expectedness into the mix!

Two middles, please. Nothing starting with letter D or rhyming with [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f]. We also don’t like very popular --[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] is not ranked in top 1000 in US.

Right now our list includes [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] (though might not work with out last name), [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Florence[/name_f]…but certainly aren’t limited to just these, it’s just the beginning.

Open to ideas!! Especially full name combos!

[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Cosette[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f]?

I adore [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]) with [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f]! [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] and [name_f]Winifred[/name_f], [name_f]Dot[/name_f] and [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]

Also, I personally love when first and last names start with the same letter. It sounds so spunky

[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]

Gabriellenz · August 26, 2018, 6:03pm

I really like [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] and [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] from your list

a282 · August 27, 2018, 3:07am

I like the name [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] with [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] and there would be a sweet sister connection since the name [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] is derived from maragon, some kind of pearl.

[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] [name_f]Coral[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_u]Ocean[/name_u]

I also like [name_f]Theresa[/name_f]:

[name_f]Theresa[/name_f] [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]

Micke156 · August 27, 2018, 5:11pm

Thanks so far everyone! I’m really loving incorporating [name_f]Frances[/name_f], [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Louise[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Mabel[/name_f].
So far we like [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] _____ W. the best but having difficulties coming up with that second middle name.
We don’t like [name_f]Faye[/name_f], [name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_u]Kay[/name_u], [name_u]Lynn[/name_u], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_u]Jean[/name_u], [name_f]Anne[/name_f], etc… But feel like a one syllable might flow best but have no options ha!

laurelrobyn · August 27, 2018, 5:25pm

This might not be your style but I immediately thought of…

[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] or [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_u]Blue[/name_u]

Micke156 · August 27, 2018, 5:47pm

I actually like the unexpectedness of [name_u]Blue[/name_u]! A word name might be good actually… I like the little twist

lesliemarion · August 27, 2018, 5:52pm

If I had a [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f], I would add a [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f], to honor [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] Lange and [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_m]Bourke[/name_m]-White.
I like that [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] and [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f] are both lengthy yet substantial names. [name_f]Dot[/name_f] is darling.
