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.

I used to know sisters called Persephone/Seph, Antigone/Tigs and Calliope/Callie. All names of a similar type, but I love Persephone. Also knew a Hepzibah.

Florence, Delilah, x

I came across Corinthia today as another option - Corey/Corrie/Thea

Mimilamore · 14/12/2025 17:24

Adeline… love it

Aluna · 14/12/2025 22:15

Love Delilah and Violet.

FoxtrotOscarFoxtrotOscar · 14/12/2025 22:20

Delphine / Delphi
Daphne or Dafne

HopelessHannah · 14/12/2025 22:21

Zamfira.

Jemima - Jem / mim
camilla - Milly/Mils

I love all of those! My DH liked Antigone / Tigs. We would probably go with Tiggie but we shorten Ottie to Otts quite a bit so Tigs would also work.

Oh I love Adaline! What a gorgeous name.

Also really love Delilah, as long as you don't live in Wales/mind the song although perhaps the song is a bit old fashioned now it won't be a problem.

I'd worry Florence is a bit boring and mainstream compared to your other daughters.

I used to think Persephone was absolutely bonkers and terrible, but I see it on here so much now I'm quite used to it, Seffie is sweet too.

Violet = violent, school bully type name to me. Looks a bit harsh next to the others but that could just be my personal (possibly unreasonable) dislike for the name!

How about Georgina/Georgiana, Ariadne, Penelope?

Congratulations!

The problem for me with Antigone is everyone will pronounce it Anti gone as in bone. And that’s particularly ugly.

You could use Tigs as a nn for any name. My sisters’ nns have nothing to do with their names.

EvelynBeatrice · 15/12/2025 14:06

Artemis nn Temmie?

Aluna · 15/12/2025 14:07

EvelynBeatrice · 15/12/2025 14:06

Artemis nn Temmie?

Or Missy.

ChuffingNoraah · 15/12/2025 14:11

Ottie, Torie and Tiggy are a fabulous combination.

So by that measure, it’s got to be Antigone!

NoCureForLove · 15/12/2025 14:12

Rita. Nn Rita.

Everleigh13 · 15/12/2025 14:15

My fave names from your list are Violet and Ada.

Vienna (Vi) is of a similar style.

luckylavender · 15/12/2025 16:46

I love Florence - would have used it myself but I think Violet goes best with her sisters, Again I would have chosen it had we not had a family member with the exact name and surname. And that was our red line

LoudSnoringDog · 15/12/2025 16:56

Florence

bridgetreilly · 15/12/2025 22:27

Winifred nn Freddy

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.

Persephone might also = phony. At least, it would down my way.

SJone0101 · 16/12/2025 09:09

bridgetreilly · 15/12/2025 22:27

Winifred nn Freddy

I love this!! Freddy or Freddie would be be great!

Persephone is obvs Greek, not Roman.

Not many people have an Aurelia. I love it and think it would go well with your other dd’s names.

We had the Chavs from hell on a holiday to Turkey with us with an Aurelia, And of course, a brother called bear 🐻

Blingismything · 16/12/2025 09:14

Leonie -Leo
Gabrielle- Gabsy/Gabby
Elodie-Ellie

Aluna · 16/12/2025 09:35

Aurelia is a very pretty name nonetheless.
