Sister for Flora

Girl Names
1

Hey guys!!

Still contemplating the perfect sister name for Flora Jo (Flora Josephine) and we have some beautiful contenders, but now I’ve just became endeared to a couple more. And it’s crunch time a bit!

So far it’s Willa Margaret, Marietta June, Louisa Saint Jane. And now I really love Della Marguerite, Twila (no middle decided), and Minnie (maybe Avanell as the middle).

  • Marietta June
  • Della Marguerite
  • Twila (long i sound)
  • Minnie (perhaps Avanell, this was my great grandmother’s first and middle)
  • Louisa Saint Jane
  • Willa Margaret

They all have personal connections for us. Twila was a fun recent addition, I’m from rural Appalachia and now live in the south and Twila has such a wonderful twang to it.

I’d love all your thoughts! Any middle name recommendations or switches! Thank y’all! :smiling_face:

I think [name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f] and [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] both pair beautifully with [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]!

Some ideas for a middle for [name_f]Twila[/name_f]: [name_f]Twila[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Twila[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_f]Twila[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Twila[/name_f] [name_f]Yvette[/name_f], [name_f]Twila[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f], [name_f]Twila[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]

[name_f]Love[/name_f] the combos [name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f] and [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] with [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]!

[name_f][/name_f]

I also adore [name_f]Twila[/name_f] and think it would work with either of those middles. I particularly like [name_f]Twila[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]. [name_f]Or[/name_f] how about [name_f]Twila[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_f]Twila[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] or [name_f]Twila[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]?

[name_m]You[/name_m] have such great options here!!

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] ‘Flora Jo’ is so fun and girly, I love the idea of another middle you could shorten [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] to [name_f]May[/name_f] perhaps, or [name_f]Avanell[/name_f] to [name_f]Nell[/name_f]? [name_f]Avanell[/name_f] btw!) eg [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] could be [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f], or [name_f]Twila[/name_f] [name_f]Avanell[/name_f] could be [name_f]Twila[/name_f] [name_f]Nell[/name_f] (or just use [name_f]Nell[/name_f], but honestly I think [name_f]Avanell[/name_f] is amazing and you should keep it going!!)

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Adore[/name_f] the suggestion above of [name_f]Twila[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]. [name_m]Just[/name_m] perfect! I love [name_f]Twila[/name_f] and using [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] to honour a [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] is a clever twist.

I really like [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] [name_f]Avanell[/name_f] and [name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f]! They are beautifully [name_f]Victorian[/name_f] and lovely.

I am utterly in love with [name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f]! She’s gorgeous. And I love [name_f]Flora[/name_f] and [name_f]Della[/name_f] together! All the best!

For some reason [name_f]Twila[/name_f] just feels like the perfect match to [name_f]Flora[/name_f] - its bright and zippy while still retaining the two syllable ends in A with an L sound in it that [name_f]Flora[/name_f] has. It matches and elevates the sister combo while still feeling like its own name. [name_f]Della[/name_f] is similar but not as bright. [name_f]Willa[/name_f] somehow doesn’t do it for me? It just feels deflated next to [name_f]Flora[/name_f], even though its a gorgeous name. [name_m]You[/name_m] can also spell it [name_f]Twyla[/name_f] to highlight the long i sound. Some [name_f]Twila[/name_f] combinations:

[name_f]Twila[/name_f] [name_f]Juniper[/name_f] - [name_f]Twila[/name_f] [name_f]June[/name_f]

[name_f]Twila[/name_f] Rosalind/Rosamond/Rosemary - [name_f]Twila[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]

[name_f]Twila[/name_f] [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] - [name_f]Twila[/name_f] [name_f]Sue[/name_f]

[name_f]Twila[/name_f] [name_f]Marietta[/name_f] - [name_f]Twila[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
