I’m currently 7 months pregnant with my second child - of which we do not know the sex. We most likely have a boy name picked out (our top name from the first pregnancy), but are having problems coming up with girl names. My husband and I do not agree on a lot of names. We currently have a daughter named [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f].
A few of my favorites are [name_f]Claire[/name_f] or [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]. I also like the name [name_f]Alice[/name_f], but don’t think it sounds right with our last name that starts with an “S”. My husband’s favorite is [name_f]Isla[/name_f] and says [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is growing on him. [name_f]Do[/name_f] any of these work with a sibling name of [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]? Or if you have any other options that work well with [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] I would love to hear them?
I honestly love all of them as a sister to [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]; you really can’t go wrong. Although, I do understand the hesitation with [name_f]Alice[/name_f] if your last name starts with an S. For that reason, I would probably NOT use it.
I’m not sure if you have a middle name picked out, but if not, you could use two of these names…
I like [name_f]Claire[/name_f] the best with [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] but all the other options are nice.
Some more ideas:
[name_f]Heidi[/name_f] and [name_f]Ella[/name_f]
[name_f]Heidi[/name_f] and [name_f]Lottie[/name_f]
[name_f]Heidi[/name_f] and [name_f]Giselle[/name_f]
[name_f]Heidi[/name_f] and [name_f]Minna[/name_f]
[name_f]Heidi[/name_f] and [name_f]Matilde[/name_f]
[name_f]Heidi[/name_f] and [name_f]Lisette[/name_f]
[name_f]Heidi[/name_f] and [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Heidi[/name_f] and [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u]
I love the name [name_f]Clara[/name_f], but in case you don’t know in the book ‘[name_f]Heidi[/name_f]’ when [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]'s taken from her grandfather she goes and lives with a girl named [name_f]Clara[/name_f]. If I met sisters named [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] I would assume that the parents really loved that book.
It’s not a big deal though, and the names do sound beautiful together.
I was going to bring this up too! I really love [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] with [name_f]Clara[/name_f] though - both names are so beautiful! Also, the book is quite old so the only people that probably know the names of the characters are likely to be fairly big fans of the book themselves!
I personally think sisters named [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] would be absolutely adorable! After all, readers are leaders!
I love many of your other possibilities. I have a soft spot for [name_f]Annabel[/name_f], another name with strong literary roots ([name_m]Edgar[/name_m] [name_m]Allan[/name_m] [name_u]Poe[/name_u]'s “[name_f]Annabel[/name_f] [name_u]Lee[/name_u].”)
Personally, I would avoid [name_f]Claire[/name_f] or [name_u]Clare[/name_u]. Two of my close friends have baby girls named [name_f]Claire[/name_f], and the name is all over at my church. It is big with the under-4 crowd.
If I were you, I would stick to names that complement [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] – those with Germanic roots. Or that have a similar vibe.
Some more possibilities:
[name_f]Greta[/name_f], sister to [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]
[name_f]Ada[/name_f], sister to [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f], sister to [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]
[name_f]Letta[/name_f], sister to [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]
[name_f]Lotta[/name_f], sister to [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]
[name_f]Liesel[/name_f], sister to [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]
[name_f]Frieda[/name_f], sister to [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]
[name_f]Isla[/name_f], sister to [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]
[name_u]Simone[/name_u], sister to [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]
[name_f]Anneliese[/name_f], sister to [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]
[name_f]Kirsten[/name_f], sister to [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]
Good luck, hon! Again, I think [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] would be a darling sister set.
I think [name_f]Clara[/name_f] is great with [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]. [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is also nice but I slightly prefer [name_f]Clara[/name_f]. I do like [name_f]Isla[/name_f] with [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] as well.
I am thinking that two syllable not ending in the ee sound works best.
If you don’t mind the same first initial, I like [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]. [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f].
Other possibilities:
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]… [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] and [name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Erin[/name_f]… [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] and [name_f]Erin[/name_f]
[name_f]Gia[/name_f] …[name_f]Heidi[/name_f] and [name_f]Gia[/name_f]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f]… [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] and [name_f]Luna[/name_f]
[name_f]Noelle[/name_f]… [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] and [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Willow[/name_f] …[name_f]Heidi[/name_f] and [name_f]Willow[/name_f]
I love [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] as a name, it’s darling! From your list I love [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabel[/name_f], both make good sibsets.
Good luck!
