Sister for Ottilie and Astoria

[SJone0101]

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.

Tbh, it could’ve been Charlotte just as likely.
I do hear ‘Calliope’ shouted in the park by a mum I dislike but I still think it’s a nice Greek name.

Calliope - I just hear Callipers. I like Callisto though.

curious as to how you chose Astoria - isn't that a hotel brand? Seems v at odds with all the other names you like

I know it’s a bit of an outlier. It’s from the Astor family originally. I’m friends with an Astor so it feels quite cringe to me.

It’s a name from Harry Potter and I loved it when I heard it.

I didn’t know it was a hotel brand, and we didn’t name her after the Astor family.

We mainly call her Torie.

The name Astoria is named after the Astor family - the Astoria Hotel was a famous hotel in NY founded by John Jacob Astor also founded the town Astoria in Oregon. That’s where Rowling got the name.

London Astoria - Wikipedia

The Astoria was a club in the 80s I used to go. They were originally a chain of dance halls in the 20s.

I’d go with Persephone and call her phone for short.

Cute names - they could be straight from a Jilly Cooper novel.
Persie could be a nn for Persephone, and if you like Freddie how about Frederica?

Sephy!

At my great nieces nursery three is three girls with the name Persephone..it's going to become a common name.. don't they all.
My eldest is 41 and called Freyja ( correct viking spelling) was hardly heard of 40 years ago.. now there are so many called it... although most miss out the silent J.. and spell it Freya.

This may be ok in the USA but in the U.K. there’s connotations of berating an impudent female ‘ right Missy, you do that again and I’ll…’. It’s a bit too naughty little girl IMO.
