Hi I'm new here! I a little boy who is two and I am expecting a little girl in May. His name is Othello (Otto is his nickname) and me and my husband have no idea for baby girls name. We liked Sailor and Violet. We also love the name Gemma but is that too "basic" for lack of another word after calling our son Othello?

I once knew a Guinevere ( Gwin and Otto?)

If you like Violet, what about Violetta ? I think it's a pretty name.

Demelza
Kerensa
Both cornish names.

I know a Violet nn Vivi, which goes well with Otto

Othello is a very sophisticated, out-there name, so although sibling names don't necessarily need to match, I agree that in this case, an equally sophisticated name would work best.

My first thought was Ophelia too, and I agree that Otto and Effie go nicely together. Cordelia also goes really well.

Other suggestions:

Celina
Evangeline
Octavia
Seraphina
Cecilia
Adelaide
Juliette
Emmeline

Damaris, Emerald, Cassia

Please not Effie. It sounds like effing. Really horrible connotation.

Otto and Katya sound good together I think.

Theodora? Otto and Theo would be cute!

If you like Sailor, how about Seaman?

Othello and Dahlia
Othello and Minerva
Othello and Ginevra
Othello and Greta

I love Otto abs Violet! I'm biased though as I have a Violet (didn't realise it was popular now! She's only one and we've never met another) and Otto was going to be my baby boys name (I've just found out we are having another girl though).
