I need to choose a sister for a fictional [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]. I want something that pairs to a nearly but not entirely matchy degree, same similar vibes, and would be picked by a nerdy, soft Victorian gentleman who named his first daughter after a [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m] character, taught literature, and adored his daughters until he tragically past away. I think meaning would matter to him, too — as he calls [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] “my heart.” His wife also passed away when this baby is born, so all the more reason to heap on the meaning! Last name is [name_u]Alden[/name_u].

[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]! It’s stylistically similar and means “beautiful rose.”
Other ideas (mostly inspired by Shakespeare):
[name_f]Serena[/name_f] (calm, serene)
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] or [name_f]Alice[/name_f] (noble)
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] (bearer of good news)
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] (happiness)
[name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] (God is my oath)
[name_f]Diana[/name_f] (Divine)
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] (Violet)
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
Juliet/Juliette/Julieta/Julietta
[name_f]Helena[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
Sorry, kind of a short list but I’m pressed for time! Good luck naming your character!

I realized I never replied to this! Thank you all for your thoughts. I’m probably going with [name_f]Rosaline[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f].
