names to go with...

[allieballiebee]

I need a girls name to go with my 2 daughters' names. They are called Charis & Evangeline. Both are Greek and have theological meanings. I'd love another Greek theological name, but can only think of Irene - meaning peace ( I think). Which, I don't really like. So, if there are no other ones like that, I'll settle for another type. I don't feel I could have an Abigail type of name as it just doesn't go with my other 2 existing names.

All sorted for a boys, have had that for 6 years now!

Minerva wasn't she a greek goddess? or was that Athene?

oooh what's your boys name?

Nathanael. Got a feeling I won't ever be able to use it though

very beautiful name ! Don't be sad - i have had my girls names on hold for 14 years.....lots of boys in the meantime!

Love Charis & Evangeline!

How about...

Althea
Astraea
Cassandra
Gaia
Hebe
Hermione
Ione
Pandora
Penelope
Xanthe

?

Love your girls' names, but am not up on Greek theology, sorry!

How about Phoebe (radiant, shining one) or Lois (agreeable)? Both Biblical and Greek in origin.

Or Zoe (meaning life)?

Lydia?

Olympia
Phaedra
Helena

Abigail
Seren
Isla

Ianthe
Iris
Chloe
Daphne

Our LO was nearly an Evangeline or Hermione, I think they go well together

I knew a Melina, which is nice, not sure of the meaning though.

Oh yes, Hermione definitely

Acacia
Beryl
Damaris
Eunice
Lois
Lydia
Phoebe
Saba

btw melina sounds the same as melaena, which is a medical word (look it up if you like, but the meaning isn't nice!)

Greek:
Agatha -- good, honourable
Margaret -- pearl (not specifically theological, but many saints named Margaret)
Anastasia -- Resurrection
Eirene -- peace
Theodora -- gift of God
Theodosia -- gift of God
Katherine -- pure
Johanna -- (f. of John; God's grace)
Cosima -- beauty/order
Ariadne -- holy

Not Greek, but...
Esperanza (Spanish 'hope')
Ines (Spanish 'pure')
Kerenza (Cornish 'love')

Love Lois, but is rhymes with Charis, so that's out! Also love Lydia, but we have friends with a Charis and Lydia already.

Like Theodora in theory but not sure, All the other ones seem a bit out there to me, probably silly comment considering my daughter's names!

What do you think of the name Hope. Do you think it goes? I LOVE it but DH thinks she'd get bullied and called Hopeless at school.

Persephone?

Sophia is greek and means wisdom

Helena

Hope does not seem im to fit your theme- not that it matters. Hope's nice.

Catherine is greek also and means pure

Thalia? (joyful)

Artemis
Anna
Zina

I think Theodora is fine (and know a couple one is known as Thea but Dora would be the other nn).

Personally I don't think Hope really fits with the other two names in spite of Charis also being a virtue name. I do like it as a name though; DD2's middle name is Hope (first name = Miriam but that's Hebrew Biblical rather than Greek!).

Sophie/Sophia would work. Or maybe Agatha?

I found it - Melina means honey, i think it is lovely

I would go with Irene, in Europe it works well and I think could be due a revival here. Could be very chic and good choice with your other names I think. A French famous fashion designer (?) Or Italian, can't remember which has twodaughters one of them Irene. Not a reason to choose but shows that others can see its allure .

Hermione...Blood of the Earth
