I need help and fast! I am due a week today, I am pregnant with fraternal twins, two girls :)
But here is where my problems begin.
I have always always loved the name Sapphire, I just love everything about and there is nothing anyone can say to put me off. My imaginary DD was always going to be Sapphire but now I'm having 2 !!!
I just can't find another girls name I like equally and don't want to do with second best as whichever child is named Sapphire seems favouritism. I have considered discounting Sapphire all together but I can't bring myself to do it.
I have two DS's called Sol and Flint... if that helps.

Please help me time is running out!!

Lovely names your DS's have and I like Sapphire, very pretty.

Avari - means from the heavens/sky
Ilayda- means water fairy
Nixie- water sprite
Tallulah- leaping water
Vesper - Evening star
Selina/Selena- Moon
Rochelle - little rock
Zola- Earth

Going down the blue theme ...
Bluebell
Azura -sky blue
Nila - blue
Teal
Nilima - blueness

Sapphire and Scarlett sounds nice together without being too matchy.

MaryMungo · 06/01/2011 14:57

Stella or Aurora or Loveday ,I really like Margot or Celeste

I agree with Hedwig, Sapphire's sister's name needs oomph.

How about
Leilani
Calista
Calantha
Seren
Aven
Zinnia
Delphine
Xochitl (Aztec/ Nahuatl name meaning flower; popular in US Mexican community, pronounced 'SZO-she')

coffeeicing - I opened this thread purely to see how long it would take for someone to come up with Steel...

Ormirian · 06/01/2011 17:05

It took bloody ages! People clearly take baby-naming very seriously Grin

Ormirian · 06/01/2011 17:07

Dammit ! too slow.

Soli81 · 06/01/2011 17:32

Wow thanks, some amazing ideas just have to talk them over with DH now, he is very fussy so should be interesting!

At the moment I'm liking
Sapphire and Estella
Sapphire and Lyra although is the sound a bit similar.
Sapphire and Leilani (pronunciation?)
Zippy101 - some amazing suggestions very unusual and I like loads
Avari - how is it pronounced?

Sapphire and Tallulah
and then it could be Saffie and Tally for short.

Also like Zola, Rochelle, Selena and Bluebell
Thoughts on these, and any more suggestions very welcome :)
