DD is named Sienna and I'm struggling to settle on a name for her new brother or sister.
Please help!

Do you want to continue the colour theme? Russett, violet, primrose, indigo

Grapelette · 23/04/2015 10:14

No, I'm not really keen on colour names.
I do like Florence and Clementine, but there are quite a few at DD's nursery. My mum said that these are too classic to go with Sienna, apparently Sienna is modern!
For a boy I like Max but my cousin has just named her son this :(

I had thought sienna colour, but of course could be sienna Italian town so Florence would be good although flo for short is hideous. Get out a map of Italy! Rome for a boy?

Grapelette · 23/04/2015 10:24

Ooooo, is Roman an acceptable name? I don't know whether the hormones are getting to me Grin
Thank you so much for replying! I agree that Flo isn't a great nickname, but I suppose a nickname will come naturally (hopefully!)

I like Roman.
The name that will come naturally to a Florence will be flo, such a shame for such a pretty name but don't lumber your child with Flo!
The are lots of beautiful sounding Italian places lovely theme

Grapelette · 23/04/2015 10:30

Wow, Roman is really growing on me!
I do like the name Gabriella also, but do you think that the ending is too samey as Sienna?

Milo?
Roman is good.
Arlo?
Judd or Jude ..but then you have Sienna And Jude maybe not

Grapelette · 23/04/2015 10:33

Haha yes Sienna and Jude do not have the best reputation do they.
Boys names are so hard!
What do we think of Rosie?

My grandmother was a Florence and was always called Florry.

fionadal · 23/04/2015 14:00

For boys' names, I think Leon would sound really good with Sienna

For girls' names:
Scarlett
Willow
Megan
Tamsyn
Bethan (as above)
Imogen

i.e. names not ending in -a!

I had an aunt Florrie... I think its pretty.
Felix for a boy

Fauxlivia · 10/05/2015 20:53

I knew a Sienna, whose twin is called Arcadia. I always liked the combination

Variousrandomthings · 10/05/2015 21:09

Florence and Sienna are great together. Both place names!! Florence can be Floss or Florry.

What about Lawrence for a boy. You could call him Law or Laurie.

Georgia would work or Rosa.

MamaLazarou · 10/05/2015 22:03

Sebastian

getbusyliving · 10/05/2015 22:34

I have a niece Florence and her nn is Florrie so it really isn't inevitable as a previous poster said, that the name will be shortened to Flo.

That said i think it sounds a bit daft to name your children Sienna and Florence.

What about the name Francesca?, It has an Italian feel but is not a place name, plus it's really beautiful Smile
