Sister for Florence

Thinking of names for baby 2 who is another girl.

Top 3
Violet
Lily
Emilia

Any other ideas? I am still not convinced we have found “the one” yet!

Emilia was my favourite girls name in my early 20s but as I’ve got older I’m less convinced by it. Worried Lily is too short as our surname is also short. I love all the nicknames that come with Violet.

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I knew a Florence and Cristiana as sisters. Love Christie! However you would choose to spell it.

I think the three you suggested in your original post go really nicely with Florence. Any of them would work well IMO.

Violet - prefer Violetta
Lily - very common , does this matter? I prefer Liliana or Eliana
Emilia - I personally dislike this

Other suggestions:
Helena
Adelaide
Louisa
Margaret
Matilda
Agnes
Madeleine
Ophelia
Philomena

another Italian city?
If it is after Florence Nightingale then Amy after Amy Johnson?

Violet was my first thought! Love it.

I have a Florence and an Elodie. I like Emilia from your list but worry it would be constantly mistaken for Amelia?
