Depends if you use the names in full or have shortened day to day names.

Non are terrible.

How about
Olympia and Alexandria

timoteigirl · 16/05/2026 19:15

I like Isadora best because it's as dramatic and elegant as Olympia. Iris wod suit the Greek theme but seems modest and not equal to Olympia.

followtheswallow · 16/05/2026 19:16

Olympia is very unusual and Iris is quite popular at the moment, it’s my personal favourite though.

CheeryMintHiker · 16/05/2026 19:16

Thankyou, I like Alexandria but worry it’ll be shortened to Alex which I don’t like. Open to more suggestions

I only like Iris but it seems a bit ordinary compared to Olympia.

CheeryMintHiker · 16/05/2026 19:19

Iris is also my favorite but yes worry about it being very popular next to a more unusual Olympia , hence the Isadora option . Nicknames for Isadora? (other than Isa or Dora none of which I love)

Nicknames for Isadora? (other than Isa or Dora none of which I love) - rule it out then.

railcardfan · 16/05/2026 19:25

I like Isadora but I suspect it'll get shortened to Izzy like lots of Isabellas.

Other suggestions:
Xanthe
Theodora (Thea for short)
Thalia/Talia/Natalia
Ariadne
Penelope

Adaline is lovely. I like Iris too but it's quite popular now.

Dora97 · 16/05/2026 19:27

I like Adaline. Would you use Addie as a nickname?

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 16/05/2026 19:28

Titan and Zorro
(either sex, it doesn't seem to matter these days, as my Mum Reginald says).

ttcfirsttime26 · 16/05/2026 19:29

I really love Isadora! I think it’s beautiful with Olympia. Such strong, elegant names!

Antigoni, Theodora, Katerina or Eleni

PrincessOfPreschool · 16/05/2026 19:54

I hope Olympia isn't 'Limpy' as nn 😅.

I like I Risborough agree it's too simple and natural next to Olympia. Xenia (Warrior Princess) seems in that vein and an 'x' name is so cool. Otherwise Athena. Something strong.

PrincessOfPreschool · 16/05/2026 19:54

Huh. I like Iris (not Risborough!!!)

CheeryMintHiker · 16/05/2026 20:10

No, surprisingly we don’t use limpy

We use Pia

Sadie or Izzy (gives her the option to have a more mainstream name if she wishes or use the more unusual full version of Isadora)

pinkpantz · 16/05/2026 20:14

Isadora - NN Izzy

FoxHedgehogBadger · 16/05/2026 20:19

I think Olympia and Iris go perfectly together! I wouldn’t worry about the popularity of Iris. I just looked it up - 700 Irises born in the most recently recorded year, out of how many thousands of baby girls. You aren’t going to find one on every street.

Isadora I find too frilly, especially alongside the strong Olympia.

Adeline I find a different vibe altogether.

You might also like Isobel, Isolde, Adele, Athena.

lochmaree · 16/05/2026 20:40

Andromeda

Calliopespa · 16/05/2026 20:56

Of your suggested names I'd choose Isadora as the other two are a totally different feel from Olympia and sit uncomfortably with it.

Calliopespa · 16/05/2026 20:59

BTW it does mean "gift of Isis" so not sure how you feel about that meaning?

Alexandria I don't like because it is primarily a port city in Egypt and also some rather run down areas in other cities: I see it more as a place name. What is wrong with Alexandra though?
