Sapphire and...

[QueenKatie]

I need help! I'm due twin girls in 2 weeks, but am stuck about names! I absolutely love the name Sapphire. For me, its a perfect name. But I just can't find another girls name I like as much as Sapphire, and I really really don't want to let go of it for two other names I only quite like. Please please help me! What names do you think go with Sapphire well??

Queen Sapphire and one of those blue names on your list sound like names for a pair of cats or ponies, not babies.

Sapphire and Estella

I think the reason you may be having trouble is because Sapphire is a very difficult name to match. It's also going to be very difficult for your dds and their friends to say. The sounds do not lend themselves to being phrased by a toddler. Any chance you could use it as a middle name?

Serafina/Seraphina would go quite nicely I think.

Ivy, Iris, lilac, sienna, willow?

Eek Sapphire and Serafina make me think of a pair of Afghan hounds. Sorry.

I quite like Sapphire, actually.

But no to theme names. Although Azure has a certain ring to it.

Sapphire and Azure - I wouldn't myself, but if I met twins called that I'd think it was cool.

Savannah? I love Savannah but I'd never be allowed to use it.

Aww I actually like Sapphire. Dd1 was very nearly called this then I came to my senses

I like MelinaM's list.

Azure is the most fitting with Sapphire.
Oh wait.
Would she get called Ass for short?

To second what northern says about sapphire being difficult for a toddler to pronounce it is true. I had a pet called Sapphire and my son struggled to pronounce her name until he was 4 at least.

P.s. I think Lila would go nicely with Sapphire.

I agree with fairies - Estella is perfect. Very sparkly.

Indigo might get confused with the boy's name Inigo?

Just got an idea from another thread, what about Violet or you could vary it to Viola?

Iris is good and follows the blue theme.

Also has the advantage of actuall ybeing a name (unlike Midnight or Marine, tbh.)

Marina oooh that's another good compromise.

Marina is nice, I also like the suggestions of Miranda and Coral.

Does it matter that the pronunciation of Sapphire isn't toddler-friendly? She'll only be a toddler for a short time!

Its a really tricky name to find a 'pair' for

Autumn
Lorelai
Clover

I do know a pony called Sapphire.

I immediately thought of Steel, to, GetOrf .

Ianthe (means Violet)

Topaz came to mind.

Iris
Cyan
Ceil
Teal
Cerulean

Neptune

Definitely Indigo.
