So far our shortlist is:
Persephone
Dorothea
Isobella

The child this thread is about would be around four now. Not sure why @ashish2903 dug it up.

Skeumorph · 14/11/2021 09:32

Definitely not Isabella from your list, too similar to Elizabeth ( and terribly overused)

Love Persephone and Penelope even better, also

Henrietta
Hermione
Arabella

Aurelia is very nice, OP Smile

I prefer the 'Aw-RAY-lee-a' pronunciation to 'Aw-REE-lee-a'. But both sound fine.

And the 'golden one' meaning is pretty special.

Alexandra will get shortened to alex wether she likes it or not! I get alex all the time from doctors at work etc from people who just presume it's ok to call me that. I don't mind alex at all but it's completely different sort of name to Alexandra I think.

TenThousandSpoons · 14/05/2017 13:21

Aurelia is lovely and goes with the others well Smile

Thanks, some great suggestions.

I really like Alexandra, Isadora, Olivia and maybe Ophelia and Arianna.

I know Victoria is a natural fit. I like the full name but I'm not keen on Vicky as a nn and Tory makes me shudder due to it political connotations.

Esmerelda!

SueGeneris · 13/05/2017 00:49

Alatheia/Aletheia/Alathea - I think you can spell it in different ways. Greek Godess of truth and justice?

Sits quite nicely with the letters and sounds in your other DDs' names.
