sibling ideas?

hello, my naming friends!
my new characters are very much still babies. i'm looking for a name to go with lilith. what would her sister be named? i'm thinking that they would have been born in the late 1800s, but that's not set in stone. if you could keep the same light airy feel that lilith has, that would be fabulous.
thank you in advance!

eta: as lisasimpsonfan  has pointed out, lilith does not (and did not) have the best connotations or mythos behind it. this doesn't really concern me though; lilith has to be lilith. she told me so. her sister hasn't told me her name yet though, and i'd like her to have one soon :]

Lillian or Louise

BTW in that time period Lilith would never have been considered light or airy. Lilith, Adam's first wife before Eve according to Jewish mythology, was seen as a seductress/sexual starting with Dante Gabriel Rossetti's Lady Lilith in the 1860s. She was used as a way to express sexual love during a time when any sexual feelings weren't social accepted.

oh, i definitely know the weight behind the name. in my mind, it's an extreme oxymoron because it doesn't seem heavy to me. i can't really describe it better than that, haha.

Lydia
Wilhelmina
Faith
Catherine
Celia/Cecilia
Chastity (as an ironic foil to the sexual connotations behind the name Lilith - the characters themselves of course do not have to live up to their names' connotations)
Beatrice
Elizabeth


I don't know if anyn of these names feel light or airy to you. Lilith does not feel particularly light or airy to me (though I also don't get the feeling lisasimpsonfan mentioned for the name either. But, nonetheless, I thought these names sounded good paired with Lilith and that they might be appropriate for the late 1800s.
