Sienna & Philippa, do these work for sisters?

Do you think they "go together"?
Thanks!

They don't go together at all. Sienna is Amber's sister. Phillipa is Charlotte's sister. For example. Totally different vibes.

No, not at all unless you’re planning to use Pippa as a nickname for Philippa

beetr00 · 24/01/2024 19:40

unsure if you'd like alternatives but Sofia, Savannah, Portia? 😉

No Sienna is quite a flashy name and Philippa is dull.

January24 · 24/01/2024 19:43

They are completely different types of names.

NewUser1111 · 24/01/2024 19:44

What @DinaofCloud9 said but then again I don’t really understand the obsession with sibling names that go together… they are individual human beings after all

Philippa would probably feel like she'd got the short straw!

Lste23 · 24/01/2024 19:46

Piper and sienna , poppy and sienna but not Philippa sorry 😞

First answer nails it!

Phillipa and Charlotte learn the clarinet and the violin.

Amber and Sienna hang out vaping with the older boys. (Or they do in my school at least)

This is spot on

They sound a bit more like a mother and daughter than siblings

Yu98 · 24/01/2024 20:16

If we name her Philippa, we will call her Pip. We loved the name Pippa, until we found out about it's Italian meaning.
I am Dutch though, if that is any help. Over here very short names have been a trend for over a decade (Sam, Bo, Fem, Liz, Lot, Pim, Jip, Tess, Puck, etc.).
But Pip felt a little "incomplete" next to Sienna's name.

Philippa is great. Doesn't really go with Sienna but it doesn't have to.

Agree with this!

DramaAlpaca · 24/01/2024 20:38

I like them together! They're not the same style but it doesn't really matter.

telestrations · 24/01/2024 20:57

I think they go perfectly well with each other and don't know what violin/vape is about. I've known WC Charlotte's and MC Sienna's, if that's what is meant.

But then I don't think singling names have to match. You do want to be able to ring them off without it being a tongue twister which you with these two.

SchmoozeyDoozey · 24/01/2024 21:10

No, Philippa only wears lambswool jumpers so you won't be able to hand down Sienna's clothes to her.

Yu98 · 24/01/2024 21:18

@SchmoozeyDoozey 😂

I'm not keen on Philippa but it's much more of a classic name than Sienna.

happyinherts · 24/01/2024 21:27

Bo, Fem, Liz, Lot, Pim, Jip, Tess, Puck,

Some of those are world's apart from either Sienna or Philippa.

Yu98 · 24/01/2024 21:58

@happyinherts All high up in the charts. I could probably give you a hundred more one-syllable names.

Think they are both lovely names they are sisters they don't have to be identical for their whole identity for the rest of their lives do they 🤣🤣

Onelife2024 · 24/01/2024 22:13

I voted that, no they don’t go together, but just wanted to say I don’t think it matters - choose the name you like best anyway.

Mumofgirls2017 · 24/01/2024 22:15

I love piper nn pip with sienna ❤️

CwmYoy · 24/01/2024 22:20

Philippa is classy. Sienna isn't.
