Do you think they "go together"?
Thanks!

Why do people think Sienna is similar to Amber? Every Amber I know is over 40 - I'd be quite surprised (pleasantly) to see it on a baby (it's a nice name, just not particularly similar to Sienna, which is very 21st century).

Amber has been in the top 100 (uk) names for years so there have been plenty of baby Ambers! I'm a sports coach and teach 500 kids a week so fairly well informed. Apparently, it has lost a bit of popularity since the Depp- Heard saga.

I like Phillippa but would probably call her Pippa, Pip or Philly - not the full name. I also know a Phillippa who goes by Piper as her nickname. I also like the name Sienna and feel some comments on here are not that nice seeing as you already have a child called that. I know a very sweet and charming Sienna.

I have two daughters whose names don’t really ‘go together’ and i do not give a sh*t. They both suit their names and they both have beautiful names (in my opinion!) - call them the names you love.

This MN obsession with what Pippa means in Italian always amazes me.

I wonder if all the parents in France who call their daughters Fanny are so similarly weak willed!!

Yes my daughter is Pippa and tbh she finds it hilarious.

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)

Absolutely, 100%, correct.

Sorry @Hatty65 and @AnnaTortoiseshell - my Pippa plays the piano and guitar. And plays football 😁

Pippa goes with Sienna - but I see you don’t want Pippa

Frightenthedark · 26/01/2024 18:41

Just googled names Like Pippa - Piper ?

No, but also, who cares? If you like them, use them.

She sounds fab! But I think this proves the point more than anything…

Poor Philippa. Bad enough that she is called Philippa, but then her sister gets a lovely name.

This 100%
1 ugly name 1 pretty name

I’ve got a Philippa who always goes by Pippa/Pip. Not sure it really goes with Sienna and Pip feels very different. Our Pippa’s sister is Hattie. Harriet on birth certificate and always felt they’re a good match.
