Sister for Aurelia would be called...?

Magtils · 11/01/2015 14:37

I'm due in June, not finding out what we are having and have a boys name sorted, but can't agree on a girls name. I like fairly traditional, strong, longer names that have a nice nickname whereas my husband prefers something a bit more unusual... Any help would be appreciated!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

The Aurelia we know has a sister called Dulcie.

Aveline
Adelaide
Katherine
Olivia
Persephone
Cornelia (nicer and more 'organic' than Cordelia, IMO)
Jasmine
Felicity
Imogen
Victoria
If you like Hermione but want to get past the Harry Potter thing, Hermyon (pronounced her-mee-on) is a similar alternative

Sylvie (must nicer than Silvia) Sylvia is a lovely name, if you get past the 1950s stereotype.

Who Is Silvia?

Who is Silvia? what is she,
That all our swains commend her?
Holy, fair, and wise is she;
The heaven such grace did lend her,
That she might admirèd be.

Is she kind as she is fair?
For beauty lives with kindness.
Love doth to her eyes repair,
To help him of his blindness,
And, being helped, inhabits there.

Then to Silvia let us sing,
That Silvia is excelling;
She excels each mortal thing
Upon the dull earth dwelling:
To her let us garlands bring.

                                William Shakespeare

Some great suggestions here. Thank you....please keep them coming! I love Hermione but dh won't budge on that one due to the Harry Potter thing! Some of the others we hadn't thought of too. Will have a big list for Dh when he gets in!
