Sister for Elara!

Girl Names
1

Hi everyone!

I’m absolutely in love with the name Elara for my future daughter, but I’m having trouble finding a name for a potential sister that feels just as special. I’m trying to avoid names that start with E and/or end in “ah,” “a,” or “ra” to keep them from being too matchy with Elara.

Currently, I like names like Maeve, Quinn, Isla, and Olive, but I feel like they might be a bit too popular (though that could change over the next 10 years!). I also like so many E names like Embry, Emilia, and Elora but don’t want my kids to share the same initials. I also like a lot of longer names like Adelaide, Adeline, Aubrey, Calliope, etc - but I’m just not sure they work with Elara or speak to me as much.

What I like about Elara:

I think it works well for a child, teenager and adult, as well as with many different professions or interests/hobbies. I love the nickname options of El and Ellie, but I can also easily imagine just calling her Elara regularly. And I can totally picture a younger or older toddler sibling calling her ‘Lala’. It’s unique but its got familiar sounds so its not too out there.

I’d love any suggestions that pair well with Elara while still being distinctive on their own. Thanks so much in advance for your help!

[name_f]Elara[/name_f] is beautiful and I really like some of your other contenders, especially [name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] & [name_f]Calliope[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

I can also picture a sister of [name_f]Elara[/name_f] being [name_f][/name_f]:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] ( I love this for all the nickname options [name_f]Penny[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f], [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f], [name_f]Lo[/name_f], [name_m]Pen[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f], Poppy)

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Shannon[/name_m]- I feel like this name is stunning and I never hear it anymore [name_f][/name_f]. It’s long and beautiful

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Tess[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- I think this name is simple sweet but stunning and stands the test of time

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]- again the nicknames are just too good [name_f][/name_f]. [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f], [name_f]Sally[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f], [name_f]Allie[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f], [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f],

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Elara[/name_f] has roots in Greek mythology ( though the story is kinda tragic ) so if you wanted to incorporate Greek mythology maybe names like
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Jupiter[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Zoe[/name_f]

Absolutely love Elara she’s beautiful :sparkles:

From the names you’ve listed I think Calliope has the right sparkly feel. Elara & Calliope would be perfection.

You’ve had lots of lovely suggestions so please count any repeats as me being in agreement with the berries

Elara and…

Artemis ~ Arty
Selene ~ Leni
Persephone ~ Sephy
Seraphine ~ Sera
Aurelie ~ Goldie
Romilly ~ Millie
Anouk ~ Annie
Juno ~ Junie
Araceli ~ CeCe
Ottilie ~ Tillie
Ione ~ Io
Amalthea ~ Thea
Isabeau ~ Beau
Imogene ~ Immy
Fabienne ~ Fab
Pomeline ~ Pommy
Delphi ~ Fi
Noemi ~ Mimi
Saffron ~ Ronnie

Hope this helps
