Sister for winter.

Our 2yo DD is called Winter and her little sister is due in May and we are struggling with names. We have a few we like but can't decide on one. So not sure if just haven't come across the perfect name yet. We mostly like names that aren't too common, or too uncommon, so somewhere in the middle. Nature themed, whimsical names we like the most. Our list so far is:

Astrid
Dahlia
Ophelia
Nova
Lilith
Juniper
Pandora (least favourite)
Arabella

Astrid is perfect! It sits really nicely with Winter without being samey.

I like Juniper but there’s a real risk of her becoming June as a nickname and then you would have Winter and June?

Nova
Luna
Astrid
Pia
Freya
Stella
Anya
Coral

Another vote for Astrid followed by Juniper.

otherwise…
Verity
Luna

Lilith as in the she devil? Hell no!
My daphne is currently in full bloom and scenting the garden, I think it's quite a sweet name.

AstorianPlease · 19/02/2024 21:47

My daughters name is Dahlia so I'm biased haha but I also like Lilith and Juniper

PixiePirate · 19/02/2024 21:55

I love most of your shortlist, they’re lovely names.

Also like Ivory, Wren and Willow.

PickledScrump · 19/02/2024 22:11

I love Dahlia said as dah-lia but I really hate it said as day-lia. It was on our list but I didn’t want the pronunciation issues. Love Juniper but the er sound at the end doesn’t flow well with Winter. Astrid is great too.

Brooke and Faye both go well with Winter if your open to suggestions.

I love Game of Thrones, and with a name lien Winter, couldn't her sister be called Arya?

OrderOfTheKookaburra · 19/02/2024 23:02

Or Lyanna...

SleepingStandingUp · 19/02/2024 23:03

I adore Lilith and Arabella was also on our list along with Ariella.

Delphine

Sudename · 19/02/2024 23:10

I really like Astrid
How about Aurora
Aurelie

SaulHudsonDavidJones · 19/02/2024 23:13

Juniper. Juni for short. Winter and Juniper.

BungleandGeorge · 19/02/2024 23:18

I really like Pandora. Other than that I think juniper goes well

TheOriginalEmu · 20/02/2024 00:26

Lilith is great!

Babyboomtastic · 20/02/2024 00:47

I'd avoid Summer as everyone will be a little confused as May is a spring month. At least that's why it jarrs with me. People would also start asking about babies 3 and 4 to compete the year.

I quite like Astrid
Or Lilith
