Hi there,

Looking for some suggestions for Giselle's sister! My husband and I are struggling to agree on any names. I like Annalise, Genevieve and Rosalie. He likes Juliette, Sylvie and Violet.

I would love it if you wonderful people could suggest some names in the same vein as the ones above.

Thank you!

P.S. No names that end with -elle please! People always mix up mine and my daughters names. We don't need another one in the mix lol

@daisypond You've literally listed all the reasons why I have reservations about certain names. I share initials with my brother and my mum would always accidentally give him my post.

I see what you mean. If you like French names, how about Elodie?

Icecreamcake86 · 27/05/2019 17:45

Genevieve is beautiful and classy and goes well with Giselle

How about Adelaide or Nina?

daisypond · 27/05/2019 16:14

tatiana I did think maybe it might be a bit niche!

So few people are into ballet that most people won’t even twig.

The associations most posters recognise on here are: Disney, Celebs, pop music and sport.

Jasmine
Evangeline
Sienna

Names like Juliet or Aurora or Odette etc make it too themed alongside Giselle for my taste. Similarly, Margot and Sylvie make it very ballet as well - maybe OK if you’re a big fan. Genevieve is nice but I’m not keen on sibling names starting with the same letter.

If you have difficulty with Rs it’s one to stay away from.

@TatianaLarina @Ladymargarethall I really dislike Aurora. It doesn't roll off the tongue easily for me tbh. I struggled to say my R's properly as a child and even now to this day I still have to really think about how to pronounce words that have R's in the middle of them.

@OhhMyLittleGirls Genevieve is listed in my original post lol.

Simone is too similar to my brothers name. My husband really likes Sylvie but I just picture an old lady. My MIL agreed with me on that one, she pictures an old cockney lady with a cigarette it her mouth lol. Strangely enough thats one of my husbands reasons for liking it 😂

I like Giselle and Aurora as they’re both from ballets.

turquoisebaby · 27/05/2019 14:23

Annalise is beautiful! Annalise Violet.

LionsHeart · 27/05/2019 14:21

Another one for Odette here.

Ladymargarethall · 27/05/2019 14:18

Aurora

OhhMyLittleGirls · 27/05/2019 14:18

Instantly thought Simone.
I love Violet and Sylvie!
How about:
Genevieve (PP suggested)
Amelie
Ingrid

JaneGlorianaVillanueva · 27/05/2019 12:37
