Hello,

Early days pregnancy-wise, but already getting excited about names. Various reasons we can't use the names in the title - is there anything else you can think of with a similar vibe?

Girls names please! Thank you

We overheard a mum in a shop recently talking to a little Celestia. She made it sound terribly grand!

The first one that sprang to mind for me was Ariana.

My first thought was Genevieve

Do you know what?
I was just going to say Genevieve.

Portia, Ottolie, Miriam?

MerryMarigold · 08/07/2023 15:53

I think Iona, which I love, is totally different from the other 2. I think Iona is a bit whimsical. I'd put it with Faith, Rosa, Cecily, Juliet, Viola.

Other two are quite classical (and a bit pompous IMHO). I know a Persephone (Seffie) if you like that route.

midsomermurderess · 08/07/2023 15:41

Calliope; Phaedra; Phryne; Daphne.

We have an Iona and if she ever has a sister I love the name Runa 🥰 I also love Catriona

I think a few people on this thread have read the Seven Sisters series.

Imogen
Verity
Saskia

TheGirlWhoLived · 08/07/2023 13:52

Antigone (ahn-tigg-oh-nee) comes to mind.

Isabella has the same feel but more popular.

Coraline, Delilah, Ophelia, Savannah, Cassiopeia all similar vibes to me
