Re: Isadora and Claribel
in reply to a message by Sweet Lisa Marie
I love Isadora... I relate all names back to something, and this reminds me of the Quagmire triplets - Duncan, Isadora and Quigley. Isadora is beautiful on it's own, and I personally love that association.
As for Claribel, I do like it. However, my great-grandmother was named Clara, so if I use either of those, I'll use Clara to honor. But Claribel is very nice, too.
As sisters, I think they work. They are both 3 syllables, but not similar. I actually think they work very nicely as sisters.
Don't let the last name stop you from using the names! They aren't mouthfuls. If teachers/kids/employers/employees can't say it, nicknames/ms. Tuivavalagi works!
As for the nicknames... I like Izzy and Belle. If I was going to go with the Clara element, I'd probably call her "Clare" or something of the sort.
I'm bad with combos... But hmm, with that last name, and long first names, I'm thinking short middle names. These may be too "filler" for your taste, but the flow works, IMO. Just use your favorite one-syllable names!
Isadora Rose
Isadora June
Isadora Maeve
Isadora Jean
Claribel May
Claribel Pearl
Claribel Jane
Claribel Louise
Those are probably all interchangable, too!
