Sibling name that goes with Christian?

37 replies

MuffinMouse · 06/12/2010 19:47

Please give suggestions for a sibing name to go with Christian and Isabella. We don't want trendy, and chose Isabella before it became massively popular - so not too 'common' popular would be good. We liked the Scandinavian association with Christian, as DH works/ed there a lot. Unisex names are def out, or anything that's very biblical eg Isaiah, Elijah etc - as it's too much with Christian IYSWIM. As are any names ending in ella.

3+ syllables works with our surname, - and our sibling names. Big thank-you for any help.

Juliet my favourite :) its really beautiful and I think Christian, Isabella and Juliet go really well together! My second and third would be Annalise and Helena (great list btw)

Just seen math's list for boys and I love it. Can I add Thaddeus to that list? It'd be right at home on that list..
I prefer Stanislas to Stanley. Nicholas would go really well with Christian (and Isabella).

Leo
Gregory
Benedict
Xavier

Naomi and Juliet are both beautiful and go with Christian and Isabella. I do see Juliet on MN a lot but in rl I only know of one and she'd be at school by now.

I like eloise but not with Isabella. Too many els and zzee sounds.

Ok, just spotted your post, so only Heidi is applicable, therefore.

AllieW · 10/12/2010 09:37

Heidi for a girl, perhaps?

Peter might be good for a boy and not too common atm.

My cousin had a Christian and when pg with DD, she always joked that she would call her Pagan!

She didn't though - she was a Georgia

You could just wait to find out what the crown prince and princess of Denmark call their twins - their first two children have the same names as yours! :)

poobumfartbollocks · 06/12/2010 21:58

Fletcher?

(sorry couldn't resist)

Elouise is gorgeous - why doesn't DH like it? (Something about a 'The Damned' song?? Anyone? He says it's too gothic. Is it just me who has an impossible to please DH?)

Anyway rant over - always liked Melissa and Amelie

I did like Juliet but I've read it dozens of times on this forum in the last fortnight. Do you think it will be v v popular?

Georgimama · 06/12/2010 21:15

Oh yes, didn't think of that! I love the name Edward and curse my mother for beating me to it.

BelligerentGhoul · 06/12/2010 21:07

Love Tobias and Mathias.

I like this thread. :)

Now you're talking Ken. I think a scandi name would work (Though I should probably keep away from any more Danish royal family - there's are younger than mine. Honest).

Georgimama like Edward - but got a Bella. For same reason ruled out Jasper...
