Long frilly girls name to go with lysander

Hello
I am new so please be nice!
If you don't like long or fancy names stop reading now!!

My daughter has an unusual frilly girls name like Arabella (don't want this to be google able)and my son is called Lysander.

Pregnant with a girl. Always loved Cassandra - wanted similarly classic/ faux arisocratic/ Shakespearian/ Greek themed name. Then realised the 'sand' sound is exactly like Lysander. Also love Ariadne but too close to daughters name.

Husband likes Genevieve but the 'Jen' nickname isn't very exciting.

Any ideas? Also like perdita but don't love it enough.

Thanks ! Grin

Angelina or what about Evangelina? Pandora works well too.

I think Gigi is a nickname for Genevieve, I think it's pronounced zhee zhee but I might be wrong.

Venetia (not Shakespeare but I love this name. Dd was going to have it as a middle name but it didn't work with the name we chose in the end.)

Selks · 01/12/2013 20:20

Ariella

DontmindifIdo · 01/12/2013 20:17

The Genevieve I know is called Evie by her friends.

I would also suggest Persephone. I wish I had convinced DH for Persephone when we had DD. (But he hated it and I wouldn't make him name his DD a name he hates)
