Sibling for Cassiopeia

[BeBlueShaker]

Already have a Cassiopeia Pearl who goes by Cassie, what would you name her sibling? (we don't know the gender yet)

I'm currently loving the nickname Queenie but am looking for a more formal name, so far have Quinn and Juno (which means queen)

Other names we have been considering:

• Beauregard/Beaumont nickname Bowie
• Nicodemus nickname Nico
• Hugo
• Roman
• Kit (as a nickname)
• Eden
• Indigo
• Gwendolen nickname gwennie

Wren and Teddy, on the other hand...😂

No it doesn't. Gwen is Welsh for white.

I do wonder if the people who are suggesting these awful names would call their own child them ?!

I really don't think the OP will be taking little Artemis perplexus to Skeggy , do you ? 😉

I expect they'll save every penny and get a quick quid loan to rent a hostel in Dubai for 3 nights , so they can take insta evidence "come on Artemis and cassieopenia - smile! Smile! We need everyone to know we're soooo middle class in Dubai!"

When actually, what the real rich kids do is go trekking in wales for 2weeks !

"the door bell mummy! I think it's kaiden-jai ..."

I thought Queenie was traditionally a Nn for Regina - which I personally don’t like as at school we called a Regina “ Rah- guy-na” so it rhymes with Vagina ( which is sort of triggered by having the same spelling tbf). It’s obviously not how Regina is pronounced but children will be children and I still say Regeena Raguyna under my breath when I see it written.

I have a horrible name named for my grandmother. My one regret in life is not changing it as it would have upset my family. Don’t give your kids try hard names.

I actually love Nicodemus too.

I knew an Arty growing up ( boy, from Arthur). He was always Farty Arty then later did a BA degree so was then Arty Farty.

Regina does indeed rhyme with vagina.

Wren is fine I think. New, but fine.

Ted is a solid and well established diminutive for Edward or Theodore.

I think our Regina was really Rah-gee-na( German parents).
ETA with a hard g

But if you say it ReGYna with the emphasis on the gy so you hardly hear the R vs V it is enormous fun for a class of giggly girls.

Sorry Eta cos autocorrect is having none of this !

I know what Ted is traditionally a diminutive of.
I also know that Wren is new.
What I am commenting on is the popularity of those names, especially Teddy, as given names.
Thus shops selling items with names on may well profit from Teddy and Wren as opposed to,say, Cassiopeia or Beauregard.

Juno (which means queen)

No it doesn’t.

I also thought Chaka Demus and Pliers with Nicodemus!

Queenie is cute, and it doesn’t necessarily have to relate to the given name. My DC have nicknames that relate to their baby personalities.

Oh I see. I thought you were saying they were just as OTT.

No.

Cassiopeia is actually pretty op but I’m not sure about some of the Queenie and Beauregard options …

The thread didn’t make your meaning all that clear.

It follows on from the poster, whom I quoted, whose final line referred to names on water bottles in Skegness.

I love Cassiopeia

Lyra is a beautiful name from a pp above

Would Quintilia work for your Queenie nickname?

Ah. It’s such a lot to think about when naming across two cultures. My name has a distinct German pronunciation, too. Nicer than the English one TBH, but it’s not me.

How about just going all out with Caesar Augustus and be done with it …
