Sibling name for Joseph and Ophelia

Would love some opinions on a name
choice for no.3 please. She is sister to Joseph Oliver and Ophelia Rose and we’re struggling to find a girls name we love as much as Ophelia. We really like Thalia but I’m worried it’s too similar to Ophelia?? (Possibly Thalia Florence?) I like the idea of continuing the ‘ph’ theme but not keen on any other girls names with ph…

GladysGeorgina · 12/04/2023 18:07

Was also going to say Juliet. Or maybe Juliana.or Marianne.

Thalia is lovely but you may have a variety of different pronunciations

lifeturnsonadime · 12/04/2023 23:29

With those two definitely Phoebe.

I know an (adult) Thalia who pronounces her name Thay-lee-uh.

Cherryana · 12/04/2023 23:37

Natalia Florence- then you could be just talia for short so same homophone as Thalia.

Philippa Juliet

Thank you for all the suggestions…

We’re now thinking about Violet. It wasn’t suggested but what do people think, does this name fit with Joseph and Ophelia or does it seem odd?

We still like Florence but I think I see it more as a middle name.

Doesn't seem odd at all. It's not as if Joseph and Ophelia have any obvious thematic connection so you haven't really created any rules to abide by. Violet is lovely. I also love Viola if you don't mind the similarity of ending with Ophelia.

Viola is lovely better than violet.

Elspethelf · 21/04/2023 07:26

I think Persephone (nn Percy) is adorable and not hard to pronounce. Thalia is lovely and not too close to Ophelia in my opinion. You might also like Thea, Della, Astoria, Edie, Araminta (Min), Juniper.

Phoebe or Sophie
