DD is 10 days old and still nameless.

Our shortlist is:

Calista Joy
Roxana Iris
Morgana Faith

Big sister is Persephone. Which names would you choose and why?

I really love Morgana Faith from your list so I would go with that.

Soubriquet · 18/01/2021 15:18

I second Morgana Faith

I also prefer Calixte to Calista

JustanotherTuesday · 18/01/2021 15:19

I would pick Calista Joy as I think it's a pretty name and I like Callie as a nn.

Horehound · 18/01/2021 15:20

None of them.

Because I don't like them

RuthW · 18/01/2021 15:25

Roxana is the best from your list.

I don't like the shortening of Morgana.

Flinstones · 18/01/2021 15:29

HOREHOUND how mean are you! If you've got nothing nice or helpful to say don't say anything at all.

First day on the internet? Hmm

Cos that wasn’t mean at all

Snally82 · 18/01/2021 15:32

Calista Joy. Mostly because I also think Callie/Cally is pretty

Starsandglitter · 18/01/2021 15:33

I like Calista Joy, sounds beautiful and I think goes best with your oldest daughter’s name. Like nickname Cali too. I don’t think it’s mean to say you dislike a name, of course we don’t all like the same names!

toolazytothinkofausername · 18/01/2021 15:34

I like Calista Joy best.

I dislike Roxana Iris as it sounds like a lady from a punk band.

I dislike Morgana Faith as Morgana is a Queen in Game of Thrones.

joeyroo · 18/01/2021 15:35

I'm not that keen on any of them either, sorry.

Prefer Roxanne to Roxana and
Morwenna to Morgana

LuckyAmy1986 · 18/01/2021 15:36

Calista

RiaOverTheRainbow · 18/01/2021 15:36

I love Morgana, not keen on Calista or Roxanna.

GwendolineWindowlene · 18/01/2021 15:36

Of those I like Callista the best (it IS pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable, isn't it?). I really like Callie.

I quite like Roxana, but I suspect you'll get Roxanna a lot. Morgana is a bit Merlinesque for me.

My favourite of your middle names is Iris, then Joy. Not keen on Faith I'm afraid, it feels a bit dowdy somehow.

Peeteea · 18/01/2021 15:38

I would choose Calista Joy because it keeps with the Greek theme you’ve already got going.

Flinstones · 18/01/2021 15:39

Congratulations on your baby, Roxana iris is lovely

I'm leaving now as I'm afraid you've got people on here just wanting an argument as usual!! Yes I'm talking about you SOUBRIQUET

JurassicShay · 18/01/2021 15:40

Calista
Was front runner for dd2 but SS has a name not too dissimilar so didn't use it,

elfran · 18/01/2021 15:40

Calista Joy, love it with your other daughter's name.

Roxana Iris doesn't work for me (with the vowel ending of Roxana and start of Iris, it doesn't flow as well) but Roxana Joy would be a good option too, I think.

notalwaysalondoner · 18/01/2021 15:42

I don’t like Roxana or Morgana. They sound a lot less sophisticated than Persephone or Calista, which I love.

WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants · 18/01/2021 15:43

Calista ( though not keen on joy. Calista Faith?!)

With that spelling, not something odd.

sorryforswearing · 18/01/2021 15:43

Another vote for Roxanne rather than Roxana. Although I do like Roxanne I can’t get the Police track out of my mind.

Footle · 18/01/2021 15:47

Go for the Greek one to match her sister.

Sunflower0000 · 18/01/2021 16:19

Calista is lovely! Morgana a close second.
Dislike Roxana as it does make me think of a red light!

Swingometer · 18/01/2021 16:22

Morgana Faith

I don't like Calista, I can't give a good reason I just don't like the sound of it

I do like Roxana but think it sounds odd with Persephone

FluffyEggsontoast · 18/01/2021 16:22

Roxana!! I absolutely adore it!
