Names for a character

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

I currently need a name for a character... Here are some specs on the family she'll be surrounded by:

*Her dad has never been called by his real name, he got the nickname Guzzi when he was around 5 and always uses that.

*Her mom is named Mary

*She'll have a half brother, much older (20 years) names Tristan on her mother's side

*Guzzi has been in the music scene from a young age and is best friends and, now, guard to a rock star since they were about 6 and 7

Now... he is the best friend and guard for this rock musician so he has been around the crazy rock star likes all his life (he's in his mid 40's now) and I want that influence him naming the little girl so no Elizabeth's, Mary's, Isabelle's etc.

I have some options and seeing as this is his first child and it's a girl he's probably going to be leaning toward names with sweeter meanings but still out of the ordinary.

Ione - Violet Flower
Lani - Heaven
Vera - Faith/Truth
Phoebe - Light
Isolde - Ice (though the true meaning is unknown)
Ninako - Beautiful child

I had originally gone for Lani Beatrice, since his mom's name was Beatrice and she died when he was younger but I am really liking Isolde and Ione.

I sort of like Lani Isolde and Lani Ione but I am not sure...

Help? Suggestions?

TIA!

Er... I just saw the whole Tristan and Isolde thing... damn...

lol just as you posted this I was like 'where did I come up with Isolde?' and then realized... Tristan and Isolde... but hey I could totally ignore it right? xD

Thank you though, Isolde Beatrice is rather cute ^.^

How are you pronouncing Lani? If you're pronouncing it the way I think (Lan-Ni), then I think Lani Isolde has a nice ring to it.

I would not use Isolde...I think it would distract from your story and readers would be searching for more connections to the opera.

I think Tristan + Phoebe or Tristan + Ione are good sib sets.
