A reader is having a baby girl and looking for “a pretty first name.” Bonus points if it starts with an S. She says:
Our last name is a hard German name that starts with a K and rhymes with Dicer. I was thinking of honoring my mother who is Phyllis by making a middle name of Felicity.
Here are a few ideas:
| S-Names | Other Names |
|---|---|
| Sarah Serena Selah Simone Sonia Sophia Sophronia Stephanie Susannah Sybil Sylvia | Amelia Callista Celeste Elise Gabrielle Josephine Laura Leah Lillian Linnea Madeleine |
Which of the above do you like best? What other names would you suggest?
Sabine, Sabrina, Salome, Saskia, Seraphina, Sidonia
Amalia, Amelie, Matilda, Odilia, Ottilie, Wilhelmina
Oh my! This is exciting, DH and I are considering Felicity to honour a Phyllis as well! :) From your list I like Susannah, Silvia, Josephine, Amelia, and Linnea.
Sasha, Tabitha, Annabel, Rosemary, Annalise, Eleanor
Suanne. (It’s a German-American name that shows up on occasion, but is not in the rankings.)
Shelby Felice. (Felicity didn’t work as well here.)
Josepha
Johannah
Carolina
