[name]Agnes[/name] and Sansa go wonderfully together, [name]IMO[/name].
[name]Astoria[/name] and Sansa work best together because of their mystical sounds. I like the idea of [name]Story[/name] as a nickname for [name]Astoria[/name].
Vote for [name]Astoria[/name] Miharu, love the sound of it.
I like Sansa and [name]Agnes[/name] a lot, but I think Sansa and [name]Adelaide[/name] go really nice together 
Purely because Sansa is S heavy so I personally prefer to avoid S’s for a sibling name. But honestly [name]Agnes[/name] has a real light S so its not noticeable Thats just personal preference though 
I voted for [name]Adelaide[/name], but then I realized I prefer [name]Agnes[/name] with Sansa:)
I think Sansa and [name]Astoria[/name] go together well.
Sansa has an exotic vibe so I think [name]Astoria[/name] is the best “fit” for her sister. [name]Adelaide[/name] and [name]Agnes[/name] are clunky and vintage so they don’t suit Sansa’s style.
[name]Astoria[/name]. Similar in popularity. And like it more than other names.
@sansa_nanami, could you tell, what’s the story behind these names? I’ve never heard neither Sansa nor Nanami before. And they are not in Nameberry base
yael: Of course!
Sansa - Is a name I came across when reading the “A Song of Ice and [name]Fire[/name]” series by [name]George[/name] RR [name]Martin[/name]; it was the name of one of his female POV characters. I hadn’t heard it before then and I ended up thinking it was a really beautiful, uncommon, but not weird name. Over time, it grew on me to the point where I couldn’t let go of it. The character in the book herself is one that I can identify with, so that made the connection a bit stronger. As to pure name origins, I’m not sure if Sansa is a “real” name, although I have heard it is Sanskrit, or possibly linked to the name [name]Sancha[/name] (name meaning: pious, holy).
Nanami - Is a Japanese name. I’ve noticed Nameberry is lacking a lot in at least the Japanese name base, sadly. Nanami’s name meaning can vary a little based on what kanji characters it would have been written with, but the meaning I’d intend with using it is “seven seas.” Water, in an obscure way, has a lot of meaning in my life, and so the idea of a water name really appealed to me. I also loved the soft, sweet cadence of Nanami when spoken. More broadly, some Japanese heritage in the family plus a love of the culture made it more something that I liked the idea of, having my child receive a Japanese name for a MN.
I think [name]Astoria[/name] goes the best with Sansa. [name]Adelaide[/name] and [name]Agnes[/name] have a more vintage vibe to them. Stylistically I think [name]Astoria[/name] just fits better since its a little more “out there” too.
I voted for [name]Astoria[/name]. Like other posters have mentioned, [name]Astoria[/name] is the best fit because it’s a rare choice like Sansa. [name]Adelaide[/name] and [name]Agnes[/name] are both well-known names with centuries of use, so they both feel very odd with Sansa.
While I think all of these names can work, I voted for [name]Astoria[/name] Miharu. As I have seen you around on…listography, I think, I still love Sansa and [name]Astoria[/name] for you.
[name]Agnes[/name] is my favorite by far.
fiammetta: I do have a listo, so you are probably thinking of me! I need to update what I have over there, though. Hmm.
