Sister for Octavia

Girl Names
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] guys,

So initially we were set on [name_f]Violet[/name_f] if our next is a girl, but then ruled it out because our surname is a color name. At first it didn’t bother me because I connect [name_f]Violet[/name_f] with the flower before the color and our surname is pretty common, but now it’s starting to bug me.

Then I fell in love with [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]/[name_f]Juliette[/name_f] (I love the nn [name_f]Lettie[/name_f]) but DH doesn’t like it :frowning:

So, what names do you think go well with big sister [name_f]Octavia[/name_f] (nn [name_u]Tavi[/name_u])?

Other girl names I like:
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]/[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] (nina)
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]

For a boy, we are set on [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m].

Thanks!

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

Too bad your Dh doesn’t like [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]; that’d be nice.

Here are my thoughts on the rest of your list:

[name_f]Claire[/name_f]/[name_f]Clara[/name_f]-These are both nice. I wouldn’t say that they quite go w/[name_f]Octavia[/name_f]. They’re not quite as bold & way more popular.

[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]-Hm. Same as above.

[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] (nina)-This works well. It has the same feminine dramatic flair as [name_f]Octavia[/name_f]. I don’t personally care for [name_f]Nina[/name_f]. Would prefer [name_f]Ani[/name_f], [name_f]Nona[/name_f] or [name_f]Nonie[/name_f] as a nn.

[name_f]Katherine[/name_f]-This is a fine classic, but a little bit boring. I love the nns [name_u]Kit[/name_u] & [name_f]Kitty[/name_f].

[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]-I love this! I think that it fits pretty well. Are [name_u]Tavi[/name_u] & [name_f]Trixie[/name_f] too cute? I also like the nns [name_f]Bea[/name_f], [name_f]Bette[/name_f] & [name_f]Bess[/name_f].

Other ideas:

[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]

[name_f]Arabella[/name_f]

[name_f]Anais[/name_f]

[name_f]Annis[/name_f]

[name_f]Bellatrix[/name_f]

[name_f]Cornelia[/name_f]

[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]

[name_f]Colette[/name_f]

[name_f]Cosette[/name_f]

[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]

Francescaca

[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f]

[name_f]Isolde[/name_f]

[name_f]Katia[/name_f]/Catia

[name_f]Lucienne[/name_f]

[name_f]Magdalena[/name_f]

[name_f]Rosalia[/name_f]

[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]

[name_f]Theodora[/name_f]

Oh, by the way, I love [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m]. That’s so handsome & perfect.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. :slight_smile:

I could not agree more with you! A lot of the names we like aren’t as daring as [name_f]Octavia[/name_f]. My somewhat solution was pairing with a bolder middle—like [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] being one of my favorite combos. My DH likes [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] with the nn [name_f]Kat[/name_f]. I like It too, especially with [name_f]Kat[/name_f], but it does seem to have a different “feel” from [name_f]Octavia[/name_f].

If I was choosing names on my own, [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] and [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] would definitely be my choices for two more daughters. I love their spunk.

I’m soooo glad DH loves [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] too. If we have a boy this process will be a lot easier. :slight_smile:

I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Theodora[/name_f]. I suggested it when I was pregnant with DD but no dice :frowning:

I really like [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]. I might add it to my list!

11

I adore [name_f]Valentina[/name_f]. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think [name_f]Lettie[/name_f] is too much of a stretch as a nn?

[name_f]Octavia[/name_f] nn [name_u]Tavi[/name_u] is so cute! I do like [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], but I agree that it’s not quite as unusual as [name_f]Octavia[/name_f]. What about [name_f]Violaine[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Violet[/name_f]?

Some other possibilities:

[name_f]Octavia[/name_f] and

[name_f]Agatha[/name_f]
[name_f]Amethyst[/name_f]

I know I suggested it, but I don’t think [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lettie[/name_f] is too much of a stretch! The sounds and letters are there. I don’t love any of the typical nicknames for [name_f]Valentina[/name_f], so [name_f]Lettie[/name_f] would be my choice.

16

What about [name_f]Octavia[/name_f] and
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Antoinette[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]

[name_f]Roxanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Savannah[/name_f]
[name_u]Simone[/name_u]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]

17

I love [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] of your choices: the nn’s are cute as you stated [name_f]Nina[/name_f], then: [name_f]Toni[/name_f], [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_f]Ana[/name_f], [name_f]Nona[/name_f], [name_f]Tonia[/name_f].

18

[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Josette[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]?

19

[name_f]Octavia[/name_f] and [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] sound good together. [name_f]IMO[/name_f]
