What should we call Phoebes' sister?

[passmeanotherpineapple]

As the title says really......

Already have a Phoebe (10), love the fact she's the only one at her school (it wasn't very popular round here back then).

3 weeks away from another girl and really really stuck on a name. Its just so hard and every name reminds me of someone else/I know one/etc etc!

Really like:

Amelie- Was our no.1 choice, but now know of another born last week
Poppy-fav to go with Phoebe but next doors dog
Georgia-sit next to her dad at work
Elsie/Elsa-DH not too keen
Summer-DH's pick, I'm not sure, is it a bit predictable (due in August etc)
Sadie-Is it cute for a baby or cute for a dog?

Argh!!!! Its just so difficult and I now I'm on mat. leave have developed an addiction to check baby names forums every hour!

If you like Amelie but aren't sure, then why not go for a variation on it such as Amelia, Emilia, Emily, Milly.

FWIW my sister and I are Phoebe and Emily and people have always commented how nice they sound together.

I would go for Emily/Emilia shorted to Em/Milly/Mimi/Milia/Emmy, think that sounds lovely and I am not biased at all, oh no

glory / gloria
stella
erin
iris
pearl
cora
hannah
delphine (fifi)
dora
vita

Lol - I'm expecting a DD in August too & wanting to call her Poppy - however DH is being put off by it being our friends' dog's name . Obviously a common problem!

I do like Summer aswell though - not so much Elsie or Elsa. Our other "top choice" at the moment is Mia (don't care if it's uber-popular, we still love it ).

If you like Gorgia but worry it will be to common amongst her age mates, maybe Georgina or Georgiana?

From your list, I like Georgia and Summer the best - though not sure if Summer goes with Brooks - maybe too much to have two nature-y names together, since brook can mean river? What about Clio?

Only like Georgia and Elsa from your list. Really dislike Poppy. I love slightly hippy 1970s names but Summer is just a bit too much IMO.

Xanthe is fab!

Darcey Bussell the retired ballerina has daughters Phoebe and Zoe with dots(both names are ancient Greek origin so go well together). So when I think of Phoebe I always put it together with Zoe.

Imogen and Erin would be nice too.

I know Phoebes with sisters named Ellen, Alice and Poppy.

How about Iris, Olive (as alternatives to Poppy)?
Or Ruth, Naomi, Keziah, Miriam, Hannah or Anna to continue with Biblical names? Celia, Rosalind, Violet or Beatrice as alternative Shakespearean names?

Felicity, Flora, Matilda, Edith, Harriet or Mary are some of the other names I think go well with Phoebe.

I'm a guide leader and we have two Phoebes atm. One has a sister called Emily, the other a sister called Harriet.
Hth

Of your names, Georgia or Sadie - but think it would actually be better if the name didn't also end in an 'ee' sound. So Georgia.

New suggestions: Martha, Xanthe, Ianthe, Linnet.
