Sister for Ophelie Wilder?

Girl Names
1

I have no baby yet, but top of my wife and I’s short list now is [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m], with the nicknames [name_f]Elfie[/name_f], Fia/Fae, or Owl/Owlet (our surname starts with an L).

I could wax lyrical about this name for days, but my problem is that while I can think of tons of sibling names for most of my short list, [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] stands alone. I feel like nothing else captures quite that whimsical, wild, fairytale vibe.

Some contenders:

[name_f]Hekate[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f] “Kit” - Far and away my wife’s favourite

[name_f]Sereia[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] “Svea” - A bit too feminine? I like that [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] is a more androgynous middle for my little to fall back on if fem names don’t feel right for them.

[name_f]Coraline[/name_f] Dalley “Cally” - Combines a family name with one of my favourite literary gems (also the song from the movie is adorable.

I also like [name_m]Fox[/name_m], [name_f]Scout[/name_f], [name_f]Juniper[/name_f], [name_f]Arizona[/name_f] and would love a name incorporating these. Any ideas are welcome.

[name_f]Ophelie[/name_f] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] is stunning! Of your list, my favorite is [name_f]Sereia[/name_f], closely followed by [name_f]Hekate[/name_f].
Thoughts on each:
[name_f]Hekate[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f] – firstly, I ADORE the nickname [name_m]Kit[/name_m] for [name_f]Hekate[/name_f]! I think the vibe of this name melds well with [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f], but the sounds are a little sharper which is why it’s ranked second and not first.
[name_f]Sereia[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] – another gorgeous combo! This name is perfect with [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f], with gentle fairytale sounds. I especially love the meaning of “mermaid” to cement this for you.
Some more androgynous middle name alternatives if [name_f]Violet[/name_f] isn’t working… [name_f]Sereia[/name_f] [name_m]Fox[/name_m], [name_f]Sereia[/name_f] [name_f]Scout[/name_f], [name_f]Sereia[/name_f] [name_f]Juniper[/name_f], [name_f]Sereia[/name_f] [name_f]Dove[/name_f], [name_f]Sereia[/name_f] [name_m]Brooks[/name_m], or [name_f]Sereia[/name_f] [name_f]Rue[/name_f].
[name_f]Coraline[/name_f] Dalley – this is also a great match for [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f], it just didn’t feel as whimsical/fantasy to me. I love the nickname [name_f]Cally[/name_f] as well!

Let me just start out by saying, [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] is gorgeous!! I adore [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f] so so much, and she’s so spunky with Wilder!!

As for the contenders:

[name_f]Hekate[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f] nn [name_m]Kit[/name_m] - I freaking LOVE this combo. She’s sparky, she’s fun, she’s got two very lovely underused names. However, I just don’t see sharp and powerful [name_f]Hekate[/name_f] with soft lilting Ophelie!! Maybe if you switched them into [name_f]Fern[/name_f] [name_f]Hekate[/name_f] it would work better, but I love this combo so much idk if I want you to change her!!

[name_f]Sereia[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Sereia[/name_f] a lot with [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f], I feel like they really have similar vibes!! I see what you’re saying about [name_f]Violet[/name_f] vs [name_m]Wilder[/name_m], but I think powerful nn [name_f]Svea[/name_f] is a little less fem and helps w that issue!!

[name_f]Coraline[/name_f] Dalley - [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] feels a bit trendy next to [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f], but I do really like [name_f]Calley[/name_f] as a nn!!

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite of the three for this situation is probably [name_f]Sereia[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] nn [name_f]Svea[/name_f], but they’re all so stunning!!

Some ideas:

On my list, I have [name_f]Adelaida[/name_f] (Add-uh-LYE-duh) as a sister for [name_f]Cordelie[/name_f], which I think would go nicely with [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f] too. Maybe:

[name_f]Adelaida[/name_f] [name_m]Fox[/name_m]
[name_f]Adelaida[/name_f] [name_f]Scout[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelaida[/name_f] [name_m]Kit[/name_m]
[name_f]Adelaida[/name_f] [name_f]Rain[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelaida[/name_f] [name_m]Hemingway[/name_m] (a little out of left field, but really fun)

Nicknames could be [name_m]Dell[/name_m], [name_f]Adela[/name_f], [name_f]Laidy[/name_f], [name_f]Ida[/name_f], [name_f]Laia[/name_f], etc.!!

Other ideas I like:

[name_f]Phaenna[/name_f] (pn Fay-ENN-uh)
[name_f]Anais[/name_f] (pn Ah-nah-EES)
[name_f]Minerva[/name_f] nn [name_f]Minnow[/name_f] (Also love [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] [name_f]Scout[/name_f] as a combo, so cute!!)
[name_f]Juno[/name_f]
[name_f]Rowena[/name_f] nn [name_m]Rowen[/name_m]
[name_f]Thessaly[/name_f]
[name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f] nn [name_m]Zephyr[/name_m]
[name_f]Anatolia[/name_f]
[name_f]Hesperia[/name_f]
[name_f]Calais[/name_f] nn [name_f]Callie[/name_f] (pn Cuh-LAY)
[name_f]Seraphine[/name_f]
[name_f]Cressida[/name_f] nn Cress
[name_f]Heracleia[/name_f] (a personal favorite!!)
[name_f]Eucleia[/name_f]
[name_f]Liadan[/name_f]
[name_f]Madelief[/name_f] nn [name_m]Lief[/name_m] / Liefe
[name_f]Mairwen[/name_f]
Rosafiere (Roh-sah-FEE-ruh)
[name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bee[/name_f]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helped!!

[name_f]Ophelie[/name_f] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] is gorgeous!

[name_f]Hekate[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f] is lovely and [name_m]Kit[/name_m] is fun!

[name_f]Sereia[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is fun and pretty - I think nn [name_f]Svea[/name_f] helps stop it feeling too feminine. You’ve also got [name_m]Rei[/name_m] / [name_f]Rey[/name_f], [name_f]Sai[/name_f] (sie), Rett?
