Sister for James

[MatildaonMain]

What do you think of any of these as a sister to James?

Ledia
Venetia
Cora
Flora
Eirinn
Tabitha

thank you!

Eirinn is the dative case, not the nominative case. The nominative case is Eire. I wouldn't bother using an Irish language version of the popular name Erin, especially if you get it wrong, but in any event, I don't think Erin goes with James.

I like Flora best from your list.

I like Harriet too.
You could use Ledia as a middle name.

I like Flora and Tabitha

Tabitha

I know a few James' and the (sister) sib-sets are:

James, Alice and Beatrix
James and Edie
James and Charlotte
James and Eleanor

We have an Emily and a James...

Emma
Anna
Hester
Sarah
Rachel
Helen

Cora or Erin are lovely

I don't understand the comments that the names need to 'go' - a name is for life and I'm sure no one cares what my brother is called!

Ellen
Rachel
Anna
Amelia
Zara

Erin is lovely but please get rid of the extra n

@HarLace1 , it's Eirinn not Erinn

Is there Irish on your side? If going for an English vibe I'd agree with Harriet, Sophie, Laura, Emma. For Irish, Tara. I do also like Cora, Elva, Emma also seems popular in Ireland these days.

I really like Ledia, I haven’t heard it before!

James and Annabelle

I wanted a Tabitha but my husband didn’t like it

None would be my choice- I like Martha, Mabel, Sophie/Sophia, evie, Grace, Maddie, Charlotte/Lottie, Alice to go with James

Cora. Love it.

James and Juliana

Alice.

Annabelle
Francesca
Georgie
Louisa
Isla
Grace
Eloise
Matilda

I like all of those names. Have only 2 comments - firstly perhaps don’t give Ledia as a first name because everyone will mishear it as Lydia and your poor girl will be correcting them for life.

Secondly please just pick a name you love, without worrying whether it ‘goes’ with a sibling. Nobody now asks me (or indeed has ever asked me or my parents) what my brother’s name is, to assess whether our names ‘go’ together. It’s kind of weird to imagine isn’t it?

Unless you have a Jaxon and you are wondering about the name Iphigenia for your daughter (the incongruity of which would make me properly cackle) I genuinely, genuinely don’t understand sibling name complementarity being an issue.

So name away! (I really love Tabitha)

Flora is my favourite of those names and I think it goes well with James 💗
Loads of negative, anglocentric comments here, for example I'm guessing Eirinn is the proper Irish spelling of Erin? and if folk get Ledia and Lydia mixed up that's their problem - it's manners to learn people's names correctly and it's a family name with heritage in another country, people would just need to get over their ignorance🤷 also don't get the comments saying none of these are classic names. Flora definitely is a classic name.

Keep Lily on the Vito list. It’s a lovely name, but also the name of Harry Potters parents. So unless you’re die hard Harry Potter fans, I’d stay clear lol.

Cora is my personal favourite from your list. My niece is Cora and she’s such a wee character.

Flora goes well
Tabitha does too but I don’t like it as much and I think flora sounds better with james

Harriet is a great fit also.

James is my favourite boys’ name. I would use Alice for a girl. From your choices, I prefer Harriet, Helena and Tabitha. I like the previous suggestions of Sophie and Elizabeth.
