What would you call Giselle's sister?

[BlehBleh]

Hi there,

Looking for some suggestions for Giselle's sister! My husband and I are struggling to agree on any names. I like Annalise, Genevieve and Rosalie. He likes Juliette, Sylvie and Violet.

I would love it if you wonderful people could suggest some names in the same vein as the ones above.

Thank you!

P.S. No names that end with -elle please! People always mix up mine and my daughters names. We don't need another one in the mix lol

@veeboo Marguerite is actually a guilty pleasure of mine but I know my husband would hate it lol

Cleo
Althea
Verity
Anna

As I looked at the title of the thread I thought of Rosalie, then I noted you have that as an option.
Lovely names.

Ghislaine

My friend Giselle's sister is called Brionie. Or Bryony. Or Briony. Can't remember the spelling!

How about Verity?

@StCharlotte I have a cousin called Verity otherwise I would be open to it.

I immediately thought Fleur, I think it sounds lovely.

Other suggestions are: Odette, Matilde, Francesca or Freya

From your list, I do like Genevieve a lot (esp shortened to Vivie) but think overall Sylvie is the best.

Other options I would suggest:

Melissa
Vivienne
Anna

I don't know why and it has no French association but Astrid popped into my bead as a cool sibling name to Giselle!

@blehbleh it's a lovely name but I would never get away with it. Verity is also a great choice with a personal connection for me 😉.
A French colleague had a daughter Anouk which I think is easy to pronounce in the UK.

Rosalie is my favourite from your list, but I also think Vivienne would go well

I love the way they pronounce Florence in death in paradise!

@Isth Vivienne seems to be a popular suggestion. It would be too weird for my dad though as his ex was called Vivienne. Things ended really badly with them too.

Ah that’s a shame @BlehBleh but totally fair enough!

I like Genevieve the best then Juliet :)

Anastasia?

Instantly thought Simone.
I love Violet and Sylvie!
How about:
Genevieve (PP suggested)
Amelie
Ingrid

Aurora

Another one for Odette here.

Annalise is beautiful! Annalise Violet.

I like Giselle and Aurora as they’re both from ballets.

@OhhMyLittleGirls Genevieve is listed in my original post lol.

Simone is too similar to my brothers name. My husband really likes Sylvie but I just picture an old lady. My MIL agreed with me on that one, she pictures an old cockney lady with a cigarette it her mouth lol. Strangely enough thats one of my husbands reasons for liking it 😂

Sidonie
Clotilde
Manon
Marion
Lea
Elodie
Noemie

@TatianaLarina @Ladymargarethall I really dislike Aurora. It doesn't roll off the tongue easily for me tbh. I struggled to say my R's properly as a child and even now to this day I still have to really think about how to pronounce words that have R's in the middle of them.
