Sisters for Echo

Girl Names
1

To preface: I’ve fallen head-over-heels for [name_u]Echo[/name_u] - [name_u]Echo[/name_u] Freyja to be precise.

So I’m wondering what names do you think would ‘go’ well with [name_u]Echo[/name_u]? I’m currently thinking that names that have a nice history/mythology, that are also ‘word’ names too, such as [name_f]Iris[/name_f] ([name_m]Atlas[/name_m] for a boy) might work best?

So my questions to you:

  1. What do you think of [name_u]Echo[/name_u]?
  2. What names do you think would work nicely as [name_u]Echo[/name_u]'s siblings?
  3. My other top name is [name_u]Ariadne[/name_u]? Is that too much…Greek? I’ve also been toying with [name_u]Ariadne[/name_u] [name_u]Echo[/name_u] Freyja as combo too - thoughts?

I think [name_u]Echo[/name_u] Freyja, [name_f]Sabine[/name_f] [name_f]Astraea[/name_f], [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] [name_f]Sunniva[/name_f], [name_f]Noor[/name_f] [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] and [name_f]Cecile[/name_f] [name_f]Georgina[/name_f] would be fitting as siblings (but I don’t believe that siblings names need to match).

I also think [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] [name_u]Echo[/name_u] Freyja sounds nice, but I prefer [name_u]Echo[/name_u] Freyja.

[name_u]Echo[/name_u] Freyja sounds pretty adorable and a little edgy. :slight_smile:

I think [name_f]Iris[/name_f] and [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] would fit very well for siblings.

I don’t really care for [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f], it just seems unnecessarily complicated.

Other ideas for siblings:
[name_f]Juno[/name_f]
[name_f]Blossom[/name_f]
[name_f]Sonnet[/name_f]
[name_u]Fable[/name_u]
[name_f]Saga[/name_f]
[name_f]Vita[/name_f] / [name_u]Vida[/name_u]

[name_m]Caspian[/name_m]
[name_m]Thor[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]

  1. What do you think of [name_u]Echo[/name_u]?
    I’m not a fan. I think it can easily be made fun of as in “I’m your echo that’s why I’m repeating everything you say” but more than that, the internationality of the word bugs me. Other word names like “[name_f]Willow[/name_f]” or “[name_u]Wren[/name_u]” are just English word names and they would translate well into other languages. But if I met a person named [name_u]Echo[/name_u] here, I’d raise an eyebrow or two as it’s just a word to me. That’s the same problem I have with [name_m]Atlas[/name_m]. He wouldn’t hear the end of it whenever they have to takes out their atlases at school.
    However I do think both would be sweet in the middle name spot. One combo I’ve seen somewhere a while ago was [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] [name_u]Echo[/name_u], which I think is beautiful.

  2. What names do you think would work nicely as [name_u]Echo[/name_u]'s siblings?
    I second [name_f]Noor[/name_f], [name_f]Juno[/name_f] and [name_u]Vida[/name_u]. I feel like they all share something dark and mysterious.

  3. My other top name is [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f]? Is that too much…Greek? I’ve also been toying with [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] [name_u]Echo[/name_u] Freyja as combo too - thoughts?
    I wouldn’t do [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] and [name_u]Echo[/name_u] in one sibset as one would get the “normal but different” name and the other would get a “very unsual word name”. However [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] [name_u]Echo[/name_u] Freyja or [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] Freyja [name_u]Echo[/name_u] are both great combos.

Thank you for the responses.

maimouse – I adore [name_u]Fable[/name_u], though I think I would prefer it as a middle. I’ve found myself often coming back to [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] [name_u]Fable[/name_u], but something doesn’t feel quite right about it… Also, while I love [name_f]Juno[/name_f], [name_f]Juno[/name_f] and [name_u]Echo[/name_u] I think are far too similar to work for sisters. [name_f]Saga[/name_f]'s a great idea too - I like it a lot.

opheliaflora – I understand your reservations as to ‘word’ names, and honestly I still have my own about them, however, the hesitation is slowly fading, particularly when it comes to word names that have historical use as names (in mythology and such).

Anyone else care to share their opinion/ideas?

  1. What do you think of [name_u]Echo[/name_u]? i like it a lot. [name_u]Echo[/name_u] is one of my favorite noun manes. Freyja is a great middle name with it
  2. What names do you think would work nicely as [name_u]Echo[/name_u]'s siblings? I do like [name_f]Iris[/name_f] for a sister. I also think [name_u]Eden[/name_u], [name_u]Elm[/name_u], [name_f]Luna[/name_f], [name_f]Clover[/name_f], and Safge would be great sister names. [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] does work well for a brother to [name_u]Echo[/name_u]. I also [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u] and [name_u]Spruce[/name_u] as brother names with [name_u]Echo[/name_u].
  3. My other top name is [name_u]Ariadne[/name_u]? Is that too much…Greek? I’ve also been toying with [name_u]Ariadne[/name_u] [name_u] Echo[/name_u] Freyja as combo too - thoughts?i am not a fan of [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] and think putting in front of [name_u]Echo[/name_u] and relegating [name_u]Echo[/name_u] to the middle name is sad.
