(no subject)

I'm not pregnant or anything, I just like thinking about names.

When I have a baby, it's very important to me that the middle name be Saphaedra (Sah FAY dra) (and only if it's a girl) but I can't think of any first names that go with it. Probably something short that doesn't end in "-a." Suggestions?

Phaedra is legit, why the extra "Sa?"

Saphaedra is the name of my mother's old boat. The name came from the first two or three letters of the names of the designer's children. The name, despite where it came from, is very dear to me but I wouldn't want to subject a child to having it as a first name.

fair enough, just asking. ;)

I think you'd have to go with a short, classic first name.

Jane Saphaedra
Aimee Saphaedra
Maxine Saphaedra
Eva Saphaedra (I know you said it shouldn't end like that but I think this particular combination sounds nice)
Stella Saphaedra
Annie Saphaedra
Alice Saphaedra

Can I ask what it means and why you want to use it?

Sorry! I saw the explanation just after I posted. I don't think Saphaedra is such a bad name. My sister has a very unusual Russian name and loves the fact that she'll never (well, its not likely) meet someone with the same name as her.

How about Lynne?

How about Emily or Lily?

I second "Lily" :-) That's what we're naming our daughter but we haven't picked out a middle name yet.

i think its really great that youve picked a name with meaning, so many people dont these days, it seems. imo, something classic would work best. the first one that i thought of was ellen, which i think sounds nice with it, but i dont particularly like, personally. i wouldnt mind too much with the a sound because the two arent used together very often. ella saphaedra sounds really great, i think.
