Please help me name a sister for Rosalind!

[SkaterGrrrrl]

As you can tell from DD1s name we like old fashioned, feminine, and looking for a longer name as our surname is very short. Pregnant again and need something that goes with Rosalind.

Please suggest away! Oh and please comment on our initial list.

Miranda (my undoubted first choice. DH unconvinced )
Elizabeth
Jemima
Marianne
Felicity
Jessica

Clementine
Violet

What a lovely lot of responses :)

Much as I love Helena, our surname beings with H. Does too much alliteration start to sound like a founder of Hogwarts?

Stellan that Shakespeare list is awesome, thank you!

I think Mirabelle is lovely too, like Isabelle but not as popular.

Helena is a wonderful name. Classic, simple, feminine, suits any age. I wouldn't worry about alliteration, personally.

Not Mirabelle, though. Sugary sweet and increasingly popular in yummy mummy circles.

Miriam is better.

Rosie and Josie is a potential pitfall, thanks!

I like the meaning of Felicity (happiness) and the variety of nicknames (Flick, Fliss, Cici etc).

Eloise is lovely too. Really appreciate the suggestions. Where the baby books let you down is not suggesting names with a similar vibe, and this thread has nailed it.

i love Miranda and Marianne

what about Christabel?

I love Mirabelle! It is a bit sweet, but no more so than Isabelle IMO. Plus has lots of nn potential: Mira, Miri, Belle/Bella, Elle, Ellie... :)

Oh, and Plum. I've heard of a little Mirabelle called Plum before. :)

there are some great suggestions here but i'd avoid any of the shakespearean ones - too much of a theme! marianne gets my vote, but i do rather like sylvia too ... liking genevieve, gabriella and leonora too tho so glad i'm not making the choice!

You can simplify to Mirabel - sounds the same but looks less frilly!

The name which jumped into my head (and is yet to be suggested afaics) is Franchesca, but Marianne is very pretty too.
