What do you think of these names?

Girl Names

Hey all!
So i’m due for twin girls in [name_u]July[/name_u] and am having troubles with names. These are my personally favorites, and my husband likes both, but we’re not sure how people would react? So what are your opinions, and how would you picture a little girl with these names? Nickname suggestions would be appreciated! I will post out full list on another thread :slight_smile:

Cestiline [name_u]Dove[/name_u] (pronounced: ses -till-een )

[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Sparrow[/name_f]

Thanks!

Never heard of Cestilene. If it’s a made-up name, I’m afraid it doesn’t pair well with the classy [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]. And it kind of sound like cesspool. I personally don’t like word/nature names but as middle names, I suppose they’re ok. My preference for middle names is to honor someone you love with their name, or a variation of it.

I’m not a fan of Cestiline, but I adore [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], particularly with the nickname [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], but I think [name_u]Ollie[/name_u], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], and [name_f]Lia[/name_f] are cute, too. Some ideas for [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]'s sister, plus nicknames:

[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Sparrow[/name_f] and [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] “[name_f]Lia[/name_f] and [name_f]Bella[/name_f]”
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Sparrow[/name_f] and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] “[name_f]Poppy[/name_f] and [name_f]Evie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Sparrow[/name_f] and [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] “[name_f]Ella[/name_f] and [name_f]Etta[/name_f]”
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Sparrow[/name_f] and [name_f]Liana[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] “[name_f]Poppy[/name_f] and [name_f]Lina[/name_f]”
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Sparrow[/name_f] and [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] “[name_f]Ella[/name_f] and [name_f]Maddie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Sparrow[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] “[name_f]Poppy[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Sparrow[/name_f] and [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] “[name_u]Ollie[/name_u] and [name_u]Scout[/name_u]”

I really like [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], probably because of [name_m]Pan[/name_m]'s Labyrinth, which is one of my favourite films. I’m not a fan of Cestiline though. To me it looks like a misspelling of [name_f]Celestine[/name_f].

I like [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Sparrow[/name_f] but I would prefer [name_f]Celestine[/name_f] to Cestiline.

Was going to say the same: I prefer [name_f]Celestine[/name_f] (or [name_f]Celeste[/name_f]) or Cecily and I prefer these to [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] but only marginally so, to me, you couldn’t go wrong with [name_f]Celestine[/name_f], [name_f]Celeste[/name_f], Cecily or [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]. [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] would need a different middle name to [name_u]Dove[/name_u], as too abrupt (and [name_f]Sparrow[/name_f] too lispy). [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] is pretty and gets the “een” sound in there, can’t think of suitable bird off top of head: [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] [name_f]Birdie[/name_f]?

I’m not a fan of Cesteline- it feels made up to me.
