[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries,

I’m wondering which of the combos below is 1) you’re favourite AND
2) sounds best with siblings [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] ([name_u]Rory[/name_u]) and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] name_u

If we were to have a boy he would likely be [name_u]Tristan[/name_u]

[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] ([name_f]Lola[/name_f]/[name_f]Winnie[/name_f])
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] ([name_f]Gigi[/name_f])
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_f]Sorcha[/name_f] ([name_f]Delphi[/name_f])
[name_f]Oona[/name_f] [name_f]Jacoba[/name_f] (no nickname unfortunately)
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Ondine[/name_f] ([name_f]Vivi[/name_f])

Would also love suggestions of other names in a similar vein or other combos inspired by names above)

[name_u]Love[/name_u]
[name_f]Nimue[/name_f]
[name_f]Olwen[/name_f]
[name_f]Isolde[/name_f]
And [name_f]Fionnuala[/name_f] or even just [name_f]Nuala[/name_f]
Also really live [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]. (With cute non [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]) but I’m not sure i’d use it up front!

5

[name_f]Adore[/name_f] [name_f]Francine[/name_f] !
And also combos [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] and [name_f]Oona[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] (though it feels weird to use these together as on a means lamb and [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] dolphin) I’m putting [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] on my list though!

6

My favourites is [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]. I also like [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Ondine[/name_f] & [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f], both of which I think work well in the set. [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] goes well stylistically with [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], and [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] goes brilliantly with [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] goes beautifully with both, so I think [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Ondine[/name_f] gets my vote (I would love to see [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] used though)!

7

Thank you. And I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Sunniva[/name_f] by the way and so many of the names in your signature. [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_f]Sunniva[/name_f] is pretty! I too think [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] goes best with the other two girls names but I don’t like that she doesn’t have a strong nickname like the other two!

8

I think I may add [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] to my list also ([name_f]Winnie[/name_f] or [name_f]Lola[/name_f])

9

[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] is beautiful, it is magical and unique. I can imagine the nickname Elo

[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] is one of my favourites but to me it doesn’t have the same mythological feel. I could imagine a bright bubbles girl.

I also like [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]. I find it has a more vintage feel and would suit a pretty, quite little girl and an arty adult.

10

[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u], and [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] make me swoon! They’re absolutely magical together :smiley:

11

I love the idea of the nickname [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] with [name_u]Rory[/name_u] and [name_f]Tillie[/name_f]. They really go together. But [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] although fitting in your criteria will not be obvious to most passers by. Here are some other ideas so you can still use the nickname you like but stemming from some other classic names that also have history to them.

Also one thing just to consider… Do you want nicknames for all three girls ending in the sound “ie”. It would bother some and not bother others. I, personally, wouldn’t mind either way. But I wasn’t sure if you had noticed that and whether it would bother you or not. So below I am leaving some ideas for the nicknames you liked and some that aren’t as matchy just incase that would bother you.
What about:
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] nn [name_f]Gwen[/name_f], [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] or [name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] nn [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] or [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]

Not sure if these ones fit your criteria, but they were too nice not to at least share:
[name_f]Araminta[/name_f] or [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] nn [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] or Mina
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] nn [name_f]Lola[/name_f] (I think this was a nn you mentioned liking earlier)
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] nn [name_f]Evie[/name_f], [name_f]Eva[/name_f], [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Gigi[/name_f], [name_f]Lena[/name_f] (uses the [name_f]Gigi[/name_f] nn you liked)
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] nn [name_f]Gigi[/name_f], [name_f]Neve[/name_f], [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] (uses the nn [name_f]Gigi[/name_f] and [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] which you liked)
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] nn [name_f]Maisie[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lindy[/name_f] or [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f] nn [name_f]Zuzu[/name_f]

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] @fluzie,

In my opinion, [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] sounds best with [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] and [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] sounds best with [name_f]Matilda[/name_f].

13

I like [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f].

14

Thanks for your beautiful suggestions. I love [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] with the girls nicknames too! The endings don’t bother me so much… [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] gets [name_f]Tilda[/name_f] sometimes also and likely more so as she gets bigger! I do love [name_f]Lola[/name_f] as a n. for [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] too though which I also think fits really well with the other girls nicknames!

15

My favorite from the list is [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lola[/name_f] but I think it doesn’t really fit quite right with her sisters who both have 3 syllable names ending with A, and middle name that ends with E and a nick name that ends in Y so i have some suggestions

[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] “[name_u]Rory[/name_u]”, [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] “[name_f]Tilly[/name_f]” and

  • [name_f]Danika[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] “[name_u]Danny[/name_u]”
  • [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] “[name_f]Cassy[/name_f]”
  • [name_f]Alyssa[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] “[name_f]Ally[/name_f]”
  • [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] “[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]”
  • [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] [name_f]Zoelle[/name_f] “Camy” or “[name_f]Milly[/name_f]”
  • [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] “[name_f]Clary[/name_f]”

My Fav is
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] and [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_u]Rory[/name_u], [name_f]Tilly[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]

16

[name_m]Even[/name_m] though it’s not really my style, I think [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] ([name_f]Lola[/name_f]/[name_f]Winnie[/name_f]) is a gorgeous name with really cute nicknames, and best flows with siblings [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]/[name_f]Tilly[/name_f] and [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]/[name_u]Rory[/name_u].

17

My favorite of your combos is [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f].
[name_f]GiGi[/name_f] is best with [name_u]Rory[/name_u] & [name_f]Tilly[/name_f], I think.

All of your combos are gorgeous. I adore [name_f]Sorcha[/name_f], but I’m not crazy about [name_f]Delphine[/name_f].

[name_f]Adelphia[/name_f] [name_f]Sorcha[/name_f] would get my vote, all day. “[name_u]Del[/name_u]” would be great with the less feminine [name_u]Rory[/name_u] & [name_f]Tilly[/name_f].

Other suggestions:
[name_f]Adelphia[/name_f]
[name_f]Branwen[/name_f]/[name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_u]Donnelly[/name_u]
[name_f]Johnet[/name_f]
[name_f]Odessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f]
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f]

18

I like [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]!

19

To go with [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] ([name_u]Rory[/name_u]) and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] ([name_f]Tilly[/name_f]).

[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] ([name_f]Lola[/name_f]/[name_f]Winnie[/name_f]) - [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] and [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] have flowy, soft, open-mouthed sounds. Together they make [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] sound a bit clunky.
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] ([name_f]Gigi[/name_f]) - lacking some of the wonderful romance of [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f].
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_f]Sorcha[/name_f] ([name_f]Delphi[/name_f]) - perfect!
[name_f]Oona[/name_f] [name_f]Jacoba[/name_f] (no nickname unfortunately) - [name_f]Oona[/name_f] has a lot going for it, but it might be too bold. [name_f]Jacoba[/name_f] is an amazing name (again, quite bold).
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Ondine[/name_f] ([name_f]Vivi[/name_f]) - [name_f]Ondine[/name_f] is simply stunning and would work as a first, too.

I think [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Ondine[/name_f] and [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_f]Sorcha[/name_f] work best. [name_f]Oona[/name_f] will work but not as well, especially when it’s a lot stronger than the pet names [name_u]Rory[/name_u] and [name_f]Tilly[/name_f]. ([name_m]Just[/name_m] to answer your question, my favourite firsts are [name_f]Delphine[/name_f], [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], and [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], and my favourite middle is [name_f]Jacoba[/name_f] because it’s so stylish and unique).

But, I’ve given this quite a bit of thought, lol, so let me tell you about [name_f]Ondine[/name_f]'s potential as a first name in your sibset. As I was thinking of [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] for a first, I couldn’t help staring at [name_f]Ondine[/name_f] until it began to outshine [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]. I was also thinking that [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] would be perfect as a middle because then you’d have a ‘v’ in each of their middle names!

[name_f]Ondine[/name_f] has the n/ee/een endings you seem to be favouring in your options this time around. :slight_smile: It has a flow that’s almost as smooth [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], except that it’s interrupted by a ‘d’ like [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]. So [name_f]Ondine[/name_f] creates a balance across the sibset, phonetically. For the same reasons, I think [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] and [name_f]Francine[/name_f], too, are lovely potential firsts.

Other thoughts. If you like [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] for a boy, why not [name_f]Tristana[/name_f] for a girl? I have it high on my list, and plan on using either [name_f]Tawny[/name_f] or [name_f]Tasha[/name_f] (taw-sha) as nicknames. You could even do [name_f]Ani[/name_f]. There is also the beautiful shortform of Stana.

My other suggestion is [name_f]Faye[/name_f]. I was thinking it would be nice to have a one-syllable name that has a long sound in your sibset. Because of the drawl in [name_f]Faye[/name_f], it has some weight to it, even though it’s appears soft, and would therefore hold its own in a sibset with two three-syllable names that have lightness to them.

First off, [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] are gorgeous!!!
My favorite is [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_f]Sorcha[/name_f]. And I think [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Ondine[/name_f] would go well with those as well.
