DD is 10 days old and still nameless.

Our shortlist is:

Calista Joy
Roxana Iris
Morgana Faith

Big sister is Persephone. Which names would you choose and why?

Rosalie or Evangeline ? X

How's it going OP?

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 18/01/2021 21:07

How is it being to say you don't like a name. Surely the world hasn't gone that Woke has it where we have to adore and fawn over every single name.
I don't particularly like the names either. However if I had to make a choice I'd say Calista Joy. As it's the nicest of a,bad bunch, IMO.

NotCornflakes · 18/01/2021 20:15

Calista is my favourite, but Roxana is nice too. Out of all the names you've listed, Calista Iris would be my favourite combination.

CaffiSaliMali · 18/01/2021 20:12

I love Morgana but agree with the others that Morgana Faith does remind me of Morgan Le Fay. So perhaps a different middle name?

Morven and Morwenna also have a similar feel to Morgana.

Calista is also nice. Is Roxana pronounced Rox-arna or Roxanna? I like both.

Prianiki · 18/01/2021 19:47

I absolutely love Morgana (great mythical connection), though I think Calista goes better with Persephone. All lovely names. Congratulations on your new baby Flowers

scrivette · 18/01/2021 19:41

Calista Joy is lovely and goes so well with Persephone.

ILoveStickers · 18/01/2021 19:05

Morgana Faith is a bit close to Morgana la Fey for me.

Calista is nice, because then you can use Callie too.

JabbyMcJabface · 18/01/2021 18:32

Do you plan on using shorter names for either child? It will be a bit of a mouthful calling them both for dinner!

Bluesername · 18/01/2021 18:28

I'd mix them up a bit. Roxana Faith or Morgana Joy

Harmarsuperstar · 18/01/2021 18:10

Calista is nicest, imo
Do you like cordelia?

Iwant2move · 18/01/2021 18:08

Immediately thought Morgana, but Callie is such a lovely nickname.

Anotherlovelybitofsquirrel · 18/01/2021 18:03

None of them. All awful a d so " try hard" sorry!

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 18/01/2021 18:02

While I secretly adore Morgana (love Arthurian Legend names) I think Morgana Faith makes the Morgan Le Fay connection a bit too obvious to me.

But Calista is (and means!) beautiful and works perfectly with Persephone - both are lyrical, pretty sounding classical Greek names.

Roxana is my least fave, it's more harsh sounding and I don't think it fits all all with Persephone.

If you aren't sure for some reason about Calista, a similar name to me would be the classical Greek Sibylla?

finallychangedmyusername · 18/01/2021 18:02

Calista Joy is gorgeous and goes wonderfully with Persephone.

Pixilicious · 18/01/2021 17:53

Calista Joy 100% sounds nice with Persephone

sesquipedalia · 18/01/2021 17:46

Love Roxana Iris. Mayes me think of Alexander the Great's wife which is pretty cool. Iris is a lovely Greek link, rainbow, gorgeous.

Calista is pretty but reminds me of Ally McBeal (giving my faraway...). I find Morgana a v harsh sound.

SendHelp30 · 18/01/2021 17:45

I don’t like Roxana.

I think Persephone and Calista go best together. Congratulations, OP

KindnessCrusader · 18/01/2021 17:41

I'd pick Calista x

Sausagedog1 · 18/01/2021 17:40

I worked with a Persephone, beautiful name. Does she have a nickname at all? That would make a difference to my answer.
I think Percy and Roxy sound so cool.
I'm not keen on Roxana as a full name though really, but it would probably grow on me. In fact it's already growing on me.
I like Calista best I think.
Sephy and Callie.
Less keen or Morgana.

Enjoy your baby girl 💓 its refreshing to hear such an unusual yet sensible list!

Chunkymenrock · 18/01/2021 17:23

Calista Joy, although I MUCH prefer Cassia Joy.

DotDotDotDotDot · 18/01/2021 17:19

I vote Calista Joy or Calista Iris. I also quite like Roxana (nn Roxy) but don’t think it sits well next to your daughters name. Morgana, can’t say I’ve ever heard of it but I’m not keen, sorry.

PositiveNegative · 18/01/2021 17:18

I think Harriet Iris would be lovely with Persephone Confused

sleepingfox · 18/01/2021 17:14

I like Calista Joy best with your other daughter’s name.
