Sister for Antonia

32 replies

Middle name will be Helene, fairly bland surname like Smith.

Our favourite so far is Francesca but not really, really grabbing us. Also considered Clara, Rowena and Jemima so anything along those sorts of lines...

Thank you!

I love Antonia and Francesca. I also like Claudia, Lydia, Phoebe, Fleur

Love Antonia. I really don't like Francesca or its abbreviations, think it's quite frumpy? I really like Clara and Rowena though. I was going to suggest Eleni nn Lena or Heloise, but probably not a great match with Helene.
Perhaps:

Connie (Constance)
Theodora
Ariadne
Iris
Georgina

Some beautiful names here, thank you all. Not due til May but we chose Antonia quite early on and I liked being settled on a name. DH at home today so will go through these with him. Least we have a boys name ready!
