Thoughts on Olympia as a sister name for Stella

[Thunderrolls]

What are thoughts on Olympia ?
We have 1 DD already named Stella.

OP, like some PP, I also think of the huge events centre, Olympia. And Olympia is a place in Greece, where the Olympic games started, and there is also a Mount Olympus, famous in Greek mythology. All this is to say, Olympia is too much of a place-name for me, plus it doesn't have a very pretty sound. The middle part sounds too close to "lump." And her nickname might be Limpy or Ollie. I just don't think it's suitable a a girl's name.

But this PP has an excellent suggestion. If you like names from Greek mythology, Calypso is lovely. Also can't really be shortened - except for Cal/Callie, which is all right. It doesn't lend itself to unflattering-sounding nicknames, and it sounds very musical.

There are many other names to choose from in Greek/Roman mythology.

Blanche is a weird name. I can't fail to hear it as a verb, which means to turn pale. "She had planned to go sailing on Saturday afternoon, but she blanched at how rough the sea looked."

Immediately made me think of cruise ships for some reason. Together they sound like Cunard liners The Olympia and The Stella (Maris?!)

I love it. I’ve known a few people with it and I think it’s a strong name. It’s spelt as it sounds which helps.

Sounds like Oompa Loompa , no I don’t like it. Apollo?

I don’t like Blanche either, reminds me of Blanche Ingram in Jane Eyre!!

No it simply doesn't go

Orla, Holly or Hazel are pretty with Stélla I wouldn’t with anything too long.

I really like Olympia and I don’t think that many people outside of London will make the connection with the Kensington exhibition centre. And even if they do, I don’t think it matters. It’s a really cool name; has the same vibe as names such as Valentina, Celeste, Octavia, etc.

Together they cast a most unfortunate light on each other.

I much prefer Octavia.

But that sounds too classical with Stella. Stella is a different kind of name entirely imo.

Not overly keen tbh makes me think of swimming pools. Stella despite meaning star is such a down to earth name. Olympia isn't. How about Selene or Juno?

Some lovely suggestions here.
Stella and Esther
Stella and Xanthe
Stella and Athena
( I love Stella. I don't know of any Olympia's apart from Serena Williams has one ? I don't like it).

I can see the operatic reference.

Not a fan of Olympia. How does it sound with your surname?

Olympia is a great name.

Sorry. Olympia is our local swimming baths.

Absolutely love these two together. both beautiful names, Stella was on my list but had a boy x

I love Olympia it’s one of my favourite ever girls names

This. Another one that ends in A could work.
