names to go with...

[allieballiebee]

I need a girls name to go with my 2 daughters' names. They are called Charis & Evangeline. Both are Greek and have theological meanings. I'd love another Greek theological name, but can only think of Irene - meaning peace ( I think). Which, I don't really like. So, if there are no other ones like that, I'll settle for another type. I don't feel I could have an Abigail type of name as it just doesn't go with my other 2 existing names.

All sorted for a boys, have had that for 6 years now!

Minerva wasn't she a greek goddess? or was that Athene?

[PosyPetrovaPauline]

oooh what's your boys name?

[allieballiebee]

Nathanael. Got a feeling I won't ever be able to use it though

[PosyPetrovaPauline]

very beautiful name ! Don't be sad - i have had my girls names on hold for 14 years.....lots of boys in the meantime!

[Esmee]

How about...

Althea
Astraea
Cassandra
Gaia
Hebe
Hermione
Ione
Pandora
Penelope
Xanthe

?

[liliputlady]

Love your girls' names, but am not up on Greek theology, sorry!

[SE13Mummy]

How about Phoebe (radiant, shining one) or Lois (agreeable)? Both Biblical and Greek in origin.

Or Zoe (meaning life)?

Lydia?

[kalo12]

Olympia
Phaedra
Helena

[dannap]

Abigail
Seren
Isla

[kalo12]

Ianthe
Iris
Chloe
Daphne

[BertieBasset]

Our LO was nearly an Evangeline or Hermione, I think they go well together

[katiepotatie]

I knew a Melina, which is nice, not sure of the meaning though.

[LadyCad]

Oh yes, Hermione definitely

[diplodoris]

Acacia
Beryl
Damaris
Eunice
Lois
Lydia
Phoebe
Saba

[SilverSixpence]

btw melina sounds the same as melaena, which is a medical word (look it up if you like, but the meaning isn't nice!)

Greek:
Agatha -- good, honourable
Margaret -- pearl (not specifically theological, but many saints named Margaret)
Anastasia -- Resurrection
Eirene -- peace
Theodora -- gift of God
Theodosia -- gift of God
Katherine -- pure
Johanna -- (f. of John; God's grace)
Cosima -- beauty/order
Ariadne -- holy

Not Greek, but...
Esperanza (Spanish 'hope')
Ines (Spanish 'pure')
Kerenza (Cornish 'love')

[allieballiebee]

Love Lois, but is rhymes with Charis, so that's out! Also love Lydia, but we have friends with a Charis and Lydia already.

Like Theodora in theory but not sure, All the other ones seem a bit out there to me, probably silly comment considering my daughter's names!

What do you think of the name Hope. Do you think it goes? I LOVE it but DH thinks she'd get bullied and called Hopeless at school.

[Elsa123]

Persephone?

Sophia is greek and means wisdom

Helena

Hope does not seem im to fit your theme- not that it matters. Hope's nice.

Catherine is greek also and means pure

[mathanxiety]

Thalia? (joyful)

[diplodoris]

Artemis
Anna
Zina

[SE13Mummy]

I think Theodora is fine (and know a couple one is known as Thea but Dora would be the other nn).

Personally I don't think Hope really fits with the other two names in spite of Charis also being a virtue name. I do like it as a name though; DD2's middle name is Hope (first name = Miriam but that's Hebrew Biblical rather than Greek!).

Sophie/Sophia would work. Or maybe Agatha?

[katiepotatie]

I found it - Melina means honey, i think it is lovely

[Cortina]

I would go with Irene, in Europe it works well and I think could be due a revival here. Could be very chic and good choice with your other names I think. A French famous fashion designer (?) Or Italian, can't remember which has twodaughters one of them Irene. Not a reason to choose but shows that others can see its allure .

Hermione...Blood of the Earth
