Our youngest is [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] called [name_f]Maggie[/name_f]. If we were to have another daughter, I’m not sure of a name that would suit her sister. I’d definitely be looking for something saintly. Our older kids names are all much more classic than [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] but the nickname [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] seemed classic enough to draw her into the group. But I’m afraid using something like [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] (nn Libby) would seem a bit jarring next to a [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f].
[name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] is gorgeous! I think [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] would make a perfect sister name, especially with “Maggie & Libby” making such a cute pair.
These come to mind as some more unique alternatives:
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Natalia[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalia[/name_f]
[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]
I love her name and her nickname!! [name_f]Sister[/name_f] ideas:
[name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] and [name_f]Cecily[/name_f]
[name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] and [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f]
[name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] and [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] and [name_f]Reine[/name_f] (pronounced Wren; [name_u]French[/name_u] for queen, and so could be in honor of Our Lady)
[name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] and [name_f]Teresa[/name_f]
[name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] and [name_f]Thérèse[/name_f]
[name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] and [name_f]Avila[/name_f]
[name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f] Frances/Frances
[name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] and [name_f]Zélie[/name_f]
[name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] and Rose/Rosemarie/Rosemary
[name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] and [name_f]Bridget[/name_f]
[name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucia[/name_f]

[name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] is beautiful! I also think it goes well with [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] can go very well with both classic and unexpected names.
Some names that might fit (mostly saintly with some exceptions):
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]! [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] and [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] both have that melodic feel to them. [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] and [name_f]Ada[/name_f].
I think [name_f]Ava[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_u]Clare[/name_u], [name_u]Louise[/name_u] & [name_f]Sabina[/name_f] would be perfect with [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f]
For some reason I think [name_f]Acacia[/name_f] would be a great pair for [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f]! Other names I thing would go well with it are:
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Amandine[/name_f]
[name_f]Adele[/name_f]
Adelise/Adelisa
Arabelle/Arabella
Laura!!! I always get so excited to see you around here, even if I’m not around often.
I agree that [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] nn [name_f]Libby[/name_f] works well with [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] nn [name_f]Maggie[/name_f]! The length and biblical feel of [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] work great together. You mayyyyy know that I’m not Catholic, only [name_u]Christian[/name_u], so these could be way off base… but what about:
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]
Odilia/Odelia
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f] (ha; my three favorite [name_m]Saint[/name_m] names)
Benedicta/Benedikte
[name_f]Eliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Theresa[/name_f] (I can’t let go of [name_f]Tess[/name_f] for you! )
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliana[/name_f] (I think this blends Clare/Katharine and [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] so nicely?)
[name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] (or some other long and flowy [name_f]Annie[/name_f] name? [name_f]Anabelle[/name_f]? Annabeth?)
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] nn [name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Isadora[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanora[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] nn [name_f]Jovie[/name_f]
