Hi
Looking for a girls name to go with sibling Eleanor plus another sister (don't want to give her name or might 'out' myself) but name is similar - relatively traditional.
Favourites are Georgina or Georgiana
Others include Marianna or Estella - but latter is probably too close to Eleanor/Ella
Any other similar names?

Georgie? There was a girl in my class at school called that. I mean her real name was Georgina but nobody called her that, like my full name is Victoria but I'm called Vicky.

Yes, thinking Georgina or Georgiana - shortened to Georgie which do you prefer - Georgianna has slightly got the edge I think.

I love Georgette. Harriet goes nicely with Eleanor imo.

Eleanor and Marianna sound almost like characters out of a Jane Austen novel.

Elinor and Marianne are characters in a Jane Austen novel. I like Georgina and Georgiana. Georgiana is a Jane Austen character, too (Pride and Prejudice) but both names are loads better than the ubiquitous Georgia. Frances? I really love this name. Julia? Harriet is the rather plodding and dim girl in Emma, so that really puts me off that name.

DD knows a girl called Cordiana which I think is lovely.

Victoria is also great.

Eleanor of Aquitaine's sister was called Petronilla (and sometimes called Alix)

I like Georgia, Georgina and Georgiana and Georgie and Gina.
Georgia was a bit too popular (and the Jorja speling is awful) for a while and Georgiana will cause confusion (she'll get Georgina, Georgie-Ana, etc - I think it's pronounced Jor-jane-a).

Don't forget the poor little child having to spell Georgianna. Georgina is lovely.

Cordelia, Augusta or Henrietta ?

Georgina is lovely and flows nicely. Georgiana is a bit more of a mouthful. Also pronunciation difficulties, is it jorj-ee-ahna, jorj-ee-anna, or the weird version of jorj-ayna as in the film The Duchess with Keira Knightly?

Marianna is nice (although I prefer Marianne) but combined with Eleanor that is quite Jane Austeny!

Alice/Alicia?
Isabel/Isabella?
Lydia?
Louisa?
Christina?
Serena/Selina/Sabrina?
Madeleine?

I prefer Georgina of the two. Josephine has a similar vibe in my mind!

Georgina is nicer than Georgiana, which is too OTT frilly and has pronunciation issues (George-ee-ah-nah, George-ee-anna, George-ayna).

Not a fan of Georgina (very popular when I was at school). I love Georgiana though. Other names that give me similar vibes are:
Henrietta
Alberta (although I wouldn't name a child that tbh)
Frances
Evangelina
Eugenia
Alexandra

Georgiana is pronounced Jor-jane-a, as mentioned upthread. It only has three syllables.
