Sister for Tristan

20 replies

BabyGirl23 · 21/08/2023 20:04

We have a list of names we both like but none of them feel like "the one".
Surname begins with a K and has a famous family strongly associated - we wouldn't choose Jacqueline if you get my drift!
We're pretty set on the middle name Rae.
What names would we love if we like:

Alice
Sophie
Elizabeth
Bethany
Penelope
Evelyn
Isabelle
Rosalind
Annabelle
Catherine

Names I love but which DH has vetoed for bring too unusual:

Ariadne
Meredith
Rhiannon

Have name changed for this one.

Carolyn/Caroline
Katharine
Sarah
Florence
Rose
Rosemary

Isolde?

Alice - like
Sophie - like
Elizabeth - like but pick a diminutive
Bethany - dislike it
Penelope - ok
Evelyn - dislike
Isabelle - too frilly
Rosalind - love it
Annabelle - too frilly. Like Ann, Annie and Anna
Catherine - like

Names I love but which DH has vetoed for bring too unusual:

Ariadne - not sure
Meredith - horrible as a girl's name
Rhiannon - dislike the way people say it as Ree Annun.

Maybe not Bethany or Penelope because they sort of 'rhyme' with your presumed surname. Of your list, I think Sophie works well. Or maybe Sophia?

Tristan to me is a Cornish name. Maybe Elys or Elowen?

Robin

Margot (Marguerite for full if you want)
Nancy

Alice - nice but dull
Sophie - goes nicely
Elizabeth - always a winner
Bethany - too rhyme-y with Kennedy
Penelope - same
Evelyn - great but done to death. I think you need something a bit unusual to go with Tristan (great name BTW)
Isabelle - same
Rosalind - Nice
Annabelle - find
Catherine - nice - Kate Kennedy is great

Names I love but which DH has vetoed for bring too unusual:

Ariadne - too much with Kennedy
Meredith - it’s not so unusual now, but Merry Kennedy is a bit odd
Rhiannon - bit of a mouthful with surname

Miriam44 · 21/08/2023 23:27

Since Tristan is modern and simple. I say Alice or Sophie.

RabbitsRock · 21/08/2023 23:28

One of my friends has Tristan & Rhiannon - I think those names go well together.

Toughsteak · 21/08/2023 23:39

Isabel

Rosalind is perfect with Tristan

bladebladebla1 · 22/08/2023 04:43

Olivia

Lamelie · 22/08/2023 05:04

A variation of Isolde is Iseult which is lovely and goes well with your surname.

mathanxiety · 22/08/2023 05:16

I think Alice, Catherine, and Annabelle go best with your surname.

Suggestions:
Flora
Cecily
Clara
Miranda
Leonora
Cecelia
Theodora
Claudia
Lara
Finola
Juno
Ivy
Xanthe
Vivien

I'd avoid Caroline and Rosemary.

I forgot Helena.

Not Penelope because Penny Kennedy doesn't sound great

Loads of great suggestions to ponder. Thank you all
