Sister for Ottilie and Astoria

113 replies

SJone0101 · 10/12/2025 12:58

I have 2 daughters so far (Ottilie/Ottie and Astoria/Torie), what would you go with for their next sister due in March?

Delilah / Lilah
Persephone / Seffie (I love Roman history)
Florence / Florrie
Adaline / Ada
Violet / Lettie

Please add any extra. I would prefer a name not in the top 20, with the ability to shorten it like the above.

Well since you already gone down the route of original names you might as well go for Persephone.

Dulcie6 · 10/12/2025 13:09

I think Persephone goes best

Caspianberg · 10/12/2025 13:28

Leonora
Apolline

ImFineItsAllFine · 10/12/2025 13:29

Persephone

Justcallmedaffodil · 10/12/2025 13:30

Of your choices I like Persephone best.

How about Arabella/Bella?

CrazyCatMam · 10/12/2025 13:30

Love your daughters’ names!

Persephone - Seffy

EvelynBeatrice · 10/12/2025 13:32

I too like Aurora (Rory); also Lydia (Liddy).

LoudPlumDog · 10/12/2025 13:33

Florence goes best with your other girls names.

Suggestions:

Catriona
Zelda
Henrietta
Josephine
Lilliana
Genevieve
Bethany
Penelope
Arabella
Savannah

Some lovely names; I particularly like Florence & Persephone.
Please don’t call her anything with a T in as this may well be confusing because of the similarities, eg Ottie, Torie, Lettie it’s time to… etc

noramoo · 10/12/2025 13:45

Helena or Jemima?

NewNameforThisPost2025 · 10/12/2025 13:48

Adelaide.

SJone0101 · 10/12/2025 13:55

Thank you ladies!!

I really do love Persephone but I just know we will come up against spelling situations and general pronunciation problems. I do love Seffie though.

Seraphina, Stefania or Josephine 'nn' Sephie

ranoutofquinoaandprosecco · 10/12/2025 14:35

Phyrne, Arriety, Anstice?

HoppityBun · 10/12/2025 15:15

Ursula, Esther, Isabella

APatternGrammar · 10/12/2025 15:30

Of your list, Persephone

Otherwise:
Calliope (Callie)
Niobe (Nio)
Scheherazade (maybe not Sherrie)
Angharad (Harry)
Stella Maris (Stella)

HJ40 · 10/12/2025 15:41

Waldorf.

Fontet · 10/12/2025 15:43

Valentina
Allegra

JDM625 · 10/12/2025 15:59

Congrats! From your list, I prefer Florence.

It always takes me a few seconds to read Persephone. In my head, I read Percy-phone. Then, when I get it correct, it sounds like a mis pronunciation of Steffanie, with the additional 'Pur' bit at the front for no reason. Might just be me?

Others:
Odette, but maybe too similar to Ottilie
Aspen, but too similar to Astoria
Coralie nn Coral/Cora
Rosalia nn Rose/Rosa
Anastasia nn Ana/Stace
Francesca nn Fran
Athena
Yolanda

Choconuttolata · 10/12/2025 16:06

Georgina - Georgie

Isabella - Bella

Olivia/Livia - Liv

Natalia - Tali

Juniper - Junie/Juno

Thank you ladies!!

Understatement!
To go with your other DDs I'd be avoiding another name ending in "ie". Not keen on Lilah or Ada though.
