I am just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a first name for a sister for our first girl, [name]Iris[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name]?
The middle name would be either [name]Aurelia[/name] or [name]Seraphina[/name]. We love [name]Hazel[/name], [name]Willow[/name] & [name]Freya[/name] but already taken in our family
Our boy choices are sorted: [name]Arlo[/name] [name]Peregrine[/name] or [name]Caspar[/name] [name]Peregrine[/name].
First of all, beautiful name on your daughter! Absolutely exquisite.
love love love the suggestion of [name]Fern[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name]! [name]Fern[/name] is a long standing love of mine, but with my (soon-to-be) last name it sounds awful :’(
Is [name]Fern[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] Forman too much with f and n?
[name]Do[/name] you think I need to stick to short first + long middle to flow with [name]Iris[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name]? e.g. [name]Wren[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] vs. [name]Aurelia[/name] [name]Wren[/name]?
[name]Love[/name] [name]Fern[/name], but maybe it is a bit similar sounding with your LN?
[name]How[/name] about [name]Aurelia[/name] [name]Fern[/name] instead?
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] and [name]Violet[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] and [name]Violet[/name] [name]Seraphina[/name]
Other ideas:
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] and [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Seraphina[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] and [name]Mabel[/name] [name]Seraphina[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] and [name]Ada[/name] [name]Seraphina[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] and [name]Mia[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] and [name]Luna[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] and [name]Olive[/name] [name]Seraphina[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] and [name]Lila[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] and [name]Pearl[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] and [name]Thea[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name]
I’d stick with short then long, as [name]Iris[/name] and [name]Wren[/name] would sound better than [name]Iris[/name] and [name]Aurelia[/name].
I’d also choose [name]Aurelia[/name] as the middle name, as both [name]Ophelia[/name] and [name]Seraphina[/name] have the ph sound that makes them a little too matchy-matchy.
[name]Wren[/name] and [name]Fern[/name] are great (and I wouldn’t worry about the f-n factor). I also love [name]June[/name] and [name]Calla[/name]
some more suggestions:
[name]Fleur[/name]
[name]Lark[/name]
[name]Raine[/name]
[name]Jade[/name]
[name]Skye[/name]
[name]April[/name]
[name]Lyric[/name]
[name]Cara[/name]
Beautiful names, my first daughter is [name]Ivy[/name] fae and i’m desperate to add [name]Ophelia[/name], so she’ll be [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Fae[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name].
My favourite name for second daughter is [name]Iris[/name] [name]Wren[/name] [name]Persephone[/name] but as [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Fae[/name] and [name]Iris[/name] [name]Wren[/name] are to similar we are going for [name]Iris[/name] [name]Wren[/name].
i think the suggestions of [name]Wren[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] or [name]Fern[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] are perfect as sister to [name]Iris[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name], same style whilse not being matchy. [name]Both[/name] would go with Serephina as well.
We appear to have similar naming styles so i’ll give you the other names i considered.
[name]Calla[/name], [name]Aria[/name], [name]Pearl[/name] and [name]Briar[/name]. Looking forward to hearing what you go for when the time comes.
Absolutely not. I would say, hands down, that it is more important to give a second daughter a first name that you truly love (and therefore she will most likely love as well), regardless of her sister’s name, rather than a name you like almost, but not quite, as much just because it happens to be short like [name]Iris[/name].
That said, I do think [name]Iris[/name] and [name]Aurelia[/name] work rather well. [name]One[/name] is from Greek mythology, the other from [name]Roman[/name] aristocracy. They both featured on my Modern [name]Antiquity[/name] list: http://www.britishbabynames.com/blog/2011/09/modern-antiquity.html
I agree completely about not having to stick to short name for daughter number 2. We considered [name]Ember[/name] & [name]Violet[/name] as names for daughter number 2, number one is [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Fae[/name].
I [name]LOVE[/name] elea’s list, especially [name]Iris[/name] & [name]Opal[/name], [name]Opal[/name] [name]Seraphina[/name] is dreamy xx
I love the names [name]Aurelia[/name] and [name]Seraphina[/name]–they’re both on my list!!!
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] and [name]Amber[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] (I think [name]Amber[/name] and [name]Iris[/name] is soooo pretty!!)
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] and [name]Luna[/name] [name]Seraphina[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] and [name]Nova[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] ([name]Nova[/name] means new and [name]Aurelia[/name] means gold, so she would be new gold!!! :))
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] and [name]Adair[/name] [name]Seraphina[/name]
I hope I helped you! ([name]Amber[/name] and [name]Iris[/name] would sound beautiful!!!)
