Sister for Hugo

34 replies

Canvassing thoughts on my list for Hugo’s sister please!

Cressida (I love this but my Mum says the association with C.Dick is too strong and sees her as anti-feminist…I say that the association is unlikely to continue long term as they’re already looking for her successor)
Cosima
Xanthe - love this but we have one in close friendship circle…
Calliope
Cecily
Stella

For middle name I like Emma which might be tricky with a first name also ending in A?

Thank you!

Emma Cecily

I love Calliope with nickname Callie. Don’t know if I’d be brave enough to use it. Not a fan of Cressida. And Cress is an ugly shortening.

I really like Calliope

Don't worry about her name matching her brothers. None of the names in my family are matching/ similar. Same with DH and most people I know

Cressida - fine
Cosima - like
Xanthe - love this but we have one in close friendship circle… - a bit twee
Calliope - callipers
Cecily - a bit cecil-y
Stella - fine

Cecily is my favourite on your list. What about Delphine, Anais, Esme, Coralie, Elise, Rosalie or Agnes?

Cecily is my favourite of your list

I would choose Cecily because it's lovely, it goes well with Hugo, and Cecily Emma run together really well I think.

Since Hugo is a short name what about Estella/e/Celeste?

Stella is definitely my favourite.

My second choice would probably be Cosima. I know a lovely baby Cosimo, he is Italian.
