Sister for Penelope and Thomas

27 replies

I'm due my second daughter soon, a sister for Penelope and Thomas.

Looking for a complementary name to Penelope which I see as a fairly strong yet classically pretty choice. Perhaps Felicity or Cecilia.

Appreciate your thoughts and any other suggestions!

When I was a little girl (1960s) my dolls were Penelope, Jane, Cecily , Cecilia and Felicity! Love your choices !

I like felicity.
Also like Cecilia but prefer Cecily. Partly because it would be less likely to be shortened to Celia, which i’m not keen on.
I think of the song CE-CELIA

Thanks all, some lovely suggestions there and glad to see that Felicity is generally liked! My only concern with it is that it is a bit rhyme-y with Penelope. Although to be fair, we mainly call her Penny and Felicity will likely be known by a nn also after she comes along. Am I over-thinking that?

I don't think they're rhymey : Penny and Fliss or Penny and Cee

Felicity is good. I like Verity too.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 01/07/2021 23:18

Felicity is nice but I think the beautiful Cecilia sounds nicer with Penelope. But since Penelope and Thomas are top 50, maybe you might also want to consider something classical but more popular. So other suggestions:

Beatrice
Imogen
Lara
Emilia
Alexandra (outside top 100 but only a bit)
Julia (ditto)
Lydia (ditto)

I find felicity a very buttoned-up prissy type name, I'm not sure it's goes that well with Penelope which is much softer. I much prefer cecilia, it sounds lovely with the other two.
