A name for the baby sister of Stephan and Jacob

We’re looking for a name for Stephan and Jacob's little sister. Our current favorites are Zoe, Tessa, Anna, and Dasha. We prefer a name that works well in both -English and Russian, isn’t too common, and doesn’t sound weird in either language. Any thoughts?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Zoe is great!

theduchessofspork · 17/08/2024 02:34

Any other than Dasha (which would make you think of the reindeer in England)

Anna is nice

Thank you everyone. We named her Zoe:)

Aw lovely - I love the name Zoe - so gorgeous 😊

I immediately thought Anna before I read your list. Definitely goes best with your boys’ names. Congratulations!

MeYouAndAQuestion · 15/08/2024 21:09

They are all lovely choices. Choose the name you like the most and ignore how well it does or doesn't go with your other kids names.

ETA Zoe is lovely.

X post! Congratulations!

MadamePeriwinkle · 15/08/2024 10:58

Anna popped straight into my head before I even opened the thread so that gets my vote

sel2223 · 15/08/2024 10:54

Another vote for Anna. Fits the not sounding weird in either language requirement. The other choices don't fulfil the brief.

BehindTheSequinsandStilettos · 15/08/2024 02:23

Tessa

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 15/08/2024 02:00

Anna. By a long way

RaspberryWhirls · 14/08/2024 22:18

Anna is my favourite, the followed would also work:

Alexandra
Tanya
Lydia
Anya
Nadia
Natalya
Natasha
Claudia/Claudine
Michaela (nn Kayla)
Anastasia
Clara
Kira
Polina
Irina
Lara
Katarina

Fair enough but for good reasons it's a beautiful name

How about Alexandra?

It really isn't common as a female name.

I love it , but it is very popular in the Russian community

myfitbitisfucked · 14/08/2024 09:54

I love Anna and Zoe with that sib-set
Also like Nina and Lena very much too.

my other suggestions would be

Cleo
Zillah
Rita
Lotta

Mosaic123 · 14/08/2024 09:41

Kayla

SerenityNowInsanityLater · 14/08/2024 09:40

Just to add, Darya/Daria as suggested, is Dasha (diminutive for Darya).
