Sister for Arabella and Florence?

62 replies

Jelly45678 · 10/07/2021 01:14

Name changed for obvious reasons!

Currently we have an Arabella and a Florence.

Some names we like are:
Ottilie
Mabel
Primrose
Juliet

Any other suggestions?

Juliet is lovely. I'm not keen on the others, sorry - Ottilie and Mabel are quite trendy now and Primrose feels stuffy to me. But these have a similar slightly retro and quirky style imo:

Romilly
Verity
Jessamine
Rosalind
Rosalie
Rosamund
Coralie
Sylvie
Christabel
Emmeline
Josephine

Primrose is Dr Shipman’s wife to me too.

@Amdone123 glad I’m not the only oddball on here Wink

Amdone123 · 12/07/2021 15:06

@JohnnyEnglish, I always think that, too.

Love your list except Primrose which always makes me think of Harold Ship man’s wife who I don’t think suits the name.
Victoria
Eloise
Freya
Margot

Cindie943811A · 12/07/2021 14:09

Venetia
Penelope

I’m not keen on the sound of Otillie — and if people want to shorten it then Ot sounds dire.

Juliet/Juliette Ottilie flows better

The first names that came to mind when I saw your thread were Honor, Miranda & Eliza

Laureatus · 12/07/2021 00:37

Araminta? I knew one at Uni, known as Minty.

TatianaBis · 11/07/2021 19:28

I think Ottilie goes best with the other two names although I don’t personally like it.

Ophelia
Beatrice
Phoebe

SleepingStandingUp · 11/07/2021 18:30

Lilyana or Ariana

RuthW · 11/07/2021 18:29

Well as I have a dd with one of those names, other names I like are:

Rosemary
Felicity
Josephine
Marianne
Cordelia
Dorothy
Elizabeth

Lostmyway86 · 11/07/2021 17:34

Charlotte/Lottie
Beatrice

Love Mabel from your list

@Jelly45678

Thank you so much for suggestions so far. I’m going to discuss with DH.

What do people think to the name (and middle name) Ottilie Juliet? Does it flow?

A beautiful name Smile
toolazytothinkofausername · 11/07/2021 17:31

Roberta... Bob for short Smile
