HelpRe: Lydia?
in reply to a message by Violet Miller
Hah, I like all of those names together so clearly you should have 3 daughters. :P
Warning: explanations of my opinions may make no sense
Jasper & Lydia: Elegant, beautiful, graceful, mature. These names together make me think of cool colors, water, gemstones, shiny cool metal, etc. I think Lydia fits the tone of Jasper best out of these, but they all fit with Jasper very well.
Jasper & Eleanor: Elegant, old-sounding, wise. Eleanor adds in a sepia-tone photograph quality. Still very regal. Lydia is regal too, but Eleanor is even more so. Nickname-wise, Elen / Ellen would work. Ellie would be too 'cute' and kind of lose the entire point of Eleanor. Nora is okay, but a little too humble and earthy for Jasper in my opinion.
Jasper & Anna: Pretty, graceful in a subtle way, sounds younger than the other possible sets. Not as cool, but also less "misplaced" in a modern time. (I don't mean misplaced in a bad way, btw. I like many names that sound more suited to a past time. All of these names are suited to this time period, but Anna is more timeless/current and therefore has less oldness to it.)
If it were Jasper with 3 sisters, Lydia and Eleanor could go in any order but Anna would have to be the youngest. Anna is one of those "young" names to me. I wouldn't really want to name a kid Anna unless I knew I wasn't having any more kids, because it just screams "youngest" to me.
