Sister for winter.

Our 2yo DD is called Winter and her little sister is due in May and we are struggling with names. We have a few we like but can't decide on one. So not sure if just haven't come across the perfect name yet. We mostly like names that aren't too common, or too uncommon, so somewhere in the middle. Nature themed, whimsical names we like the most. Our list so far is:

Astrid
Dahlia
Ophelia
Nova
Lilith
Juniper
Pandora (least favourite)
Arabella

My daphne is currently in full bloom and scenting the garden, I think it's quite a sweet name.

Another vote for Astrid followed by Juniper.

otherwise…
Verity
Luna

Ikeameatballs · 19/02/2024 20:01

I like Juniper but there’s a real risk of her becoming June as a nickname and then you would have Winter and June?

Nova
Luna
Astrid
Pia
Freya
Stella
Anya
Coral

Astrid is perfect! It sits really nicely with Winter without being samey.

Summer!!! :)

I knew sisters called Summer and Winter. Winter was born solidly in Autumn! May is Celtic Summer at least, and she could come late.

KnickerlessParsons · 19/02/2024 18:37

What about May?

MaryActsLikeSheDontCare · 19/02/2024 18:37

Arabella is beautiful

Luna?

daisypond · 19/02/2024 18:34

Astrid - ok
Dahlia -ok
Ophelia - no
Nova - awful
Lilith - no
Juniper -yes
Pandora (least favourite) - no
Arabella- ish

How about aster? It’s a flower and also references the stars.

Ophelia, Arabella are too common to go with Winter.

SallyWD · 19/02/2024 18:09

I really love Astrid and it goes beautifully with Winter names like Ophelia are obviously very beautiful but a bit try hard, I feel.
