I like several of your names and like them as [name_m]Leon[/name_m]'s sister: [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], [name_f]Maxima[/name_f], [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] and [name_f]Elsa[/name_f]. My favourite is [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], then [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] as long as popularity doesn’t worry you. If you prefer something more unusual [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Maxima[/name_f] are good.
You have a great list! Picking a name is definitely a challenge, and I think it’s great that you’re trying to make sure you choose the one you love most.
It really depends on what vibe you’re going for. [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_f]Lola[/name_f] are both spunky and sweet. [name_f]Valencia[/name_f] is flowing and romantic, with fun nicknames ([name_u]Val[/name_u], “V”, [name_f]Cia[/name_f], etc). Those are my favorites.

I love [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] for you!!
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] are my favourite with [name_m]Leon[/name_m]! And I love the nickname [name_f]Cara[/name_f] - never heard of it used for [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] but it’s great!!
I love [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]!! [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] I find so sweet, youthful and innocent. [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] is gorgeous and sophisticated and I love that it has such a variety of nicknames. [name_f]Cora[/name_f] is great, but so is [name_f]Delia[/name_f], [name_f]Coco[/name_f] and others she can chose from if she decides [name_f]Cora[/name_f] doesn’t fit her well.
With [name_m]Leon[/name_m], my favourite is [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]. I also like [name_f]Lola[/name_f] but unsure on the alliteration. I do like [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] with [name_m]Leon[/name_m] too, but voted for [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_f]Lola[/name_f].
One of the top four in the list, I’d say, though I much prefer [name_f]Maxine[/name_f] to [name_f]Maxima[/name_f]. Another name I’d pair with [name_m]Leon[/name_m] is [name_f]Rosanna[/name_f]. Has similar red imagery to [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] but is more romantic and mature, like [name_f]Maxima[/name_f] and [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f].
I like [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], [name_f]Maxima[/name_f], or [name_f]Valencia[/name_f] with [name_m]Leon[/name_m]. They give me a similar romantic, dashing vibe.
I feel your pain! We’re naming our final baby and finding it so hard to narrow down!
Your son has such a timeless, international name that I think your options for his sister are pretty much wide open. You have a lovely list here. The real standouts to me are [name_f]Behati[/name_f] and [name_f]Maxima[/name_f]. Both really unexpected, gorgeous, strong and sophisticated names.
Of the two, [name_f]Behati[/name_f] “[name_f]Bea[/name_f]” really sings for me — it’s one of my very favourite names and I NEVER see anyone consider it! [name_m]How[/name_m] would you pronounce?
I voted [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]. What about [name_f]Nola[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Lola[/name_f]? I just read it on here yesterday and love it.
I voted for [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] because they’re my favorites of the lot.
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Cora[/name_f]’ and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] got my votes. I like [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] but not keen on [name_f]Cara[/name_f] as a nn.
I love [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_f]Elsa[/name_f]! I really like [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] too but not with the nn [name_f]Cara[/name_f] as I think it would be confusing. [name_f]Cara[/name_f] is a well established name in her own right so I think it would be better to just go straight to [name_f]Cara[/name_f] if it is your favourite.
Thank you for your input!
Thanks for the websites and opinion. The playground question has actually helped!
I voted for [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]. I think either would sound great with [name_m]Leon[/name_m], especially [name_u]Ruby[/name_u].
[name_f]Behati[/name_f] is an Afrikaans name so I wouldn’t typically suggest it to those who aren’t South African.
