Sister for Valentina?

54 replies

ReggaetonLente · 19/06/2019 00:55

Any ideas for names that would 'go'?

I love Angelina but obviously it's out because of the 'ina' ending- too similar.

We like quite girly, 'fancy' names, including...

Anastasia
Angelica
Cecilia (but not keen on the meaning)
Perdita (again, the meaning puts me off)

But nothing grabs us the way her big sister's name did. Help!

Love Valentina and Angelina. I wanted them for DD, but DH vetoed Angry. Anastasia is also lovely.

Alaia
Marcella
Evangeline/Evangelina (maybe a bit matchy with the -ina ending?)
Phaedra
Gabriella
Raphaella
Cammelia
Dahlia

I knew you ladies would come up trumps! Thank you for so many beautiful ideas. I adore several that you've suggested but Gabriella, Tatiana and Cordelia really jump out. LOVE them. Now to suggest to DH...

Love Milena and Marina too but again worried the endings are too match matchy.

Thanks again!

I'm not sure but I just wanted to say what a beautiful name Valentina is!

Shadow1234 · 20/06/2019 17:27

Heard someone calling to their daughter the other day - her name was Carlotta, thought that was quite a nice name (never met anyone with that name before).

Thanks for all the Valentina love. She's a beauty and it certainly suits her.

I met a Cara today, which I thought would go well! So many ideas!

I would avoid a name with the same ending as I think it would detract from how lovely the name Valentina is. Why not go for something a little more simple but elegant.

MarthasGinYard · 21/06/2019 12:47

Cora is also a favourite of mine

LuckyAmy1986 · 25/06/2019 18:14

Adelina?

AverageMummy · 25/06/2019 18:16

Cora is really lovely & would be a lovely contrast with Valentina

AverageMummy · 25/06/2019 18:16

What about Dulcie?

BettyBizzghetti · 25/06/2019 18:20

Hortensia? Augusta? (Valentina is gorgeous, btw).

BettyBizzghetti · 25/06/2019 18:21

Or Cecily...
