A name for the baby sister of Stephan and Jacob

We’re looking for a name for Stephan and Jacob's little sister. Our current favorites are Zoe, Tessa, Anna, and Dasha. We prefer a name that works well in both -English and Russian, isn’t too common, and doesn’t sound weird in either language. Any thoughts?

Love Anna and Zoe, also the suggestions of Nina and Elena (love Lena)!

Anna is such an elegant name. Works in so many languages.

I like Zoe and Anna.

What about Zara, Mia, Louisa, Natalie?

SerenityNowInsanityLater · 14/08/2024 09:38

Anna would be my choice.

Suggestions:

Anya
Marina
Nina

HowIrresponsible · 14/08/2024 09:39

How about Alexandra?

It really isn't common as a female name.

SerenityNowInsanityLater · 14/08/2024 09:40

Just to add, Darya/Daria as suggested, is Dasha (diminutive for Darya).

Anna. By a long way

BehindTheSequinsandStilettos · 15/08/2024 02:23

Tessa

RogueFemale · 15/08/2024 02:28

Another vote for Anna. Fits the not sounding weird in either language requirement. The other choices don't fulfil the brief.
