Challenge for you, Berries! What to name Cassius and Apollo's sister?

[mischa]

Hi Berries, a friend of mine has asked me to post on her behalf. She already has two sons with wonderful names (Cassius and Apollo nn Cass and Poe). I happened to mention that both boys have double letters contained in their names so it was a nice subtle connection between them. She's now expecting a girl and would like to continue the theme if possible (eg. if she finds a name she loves). I've told her I will make a list of girls names with double letters for her. The names I've collected so far are below but nothing is jumping off the page for me as yet. There are only a few which have the same style and substance as Cassius and Apollo.

The criteria: no names beginning with "C", "A" or "H" (surname is Hale). Preferably, names in the Latin, Greek, classical, mythological or quirky word styles.

Question 1: Are there any names you list from the list below?
Question 2: Can you think of any more double lettered girls names that I can add to the list?Thanks for your help!

Note: I think the name Persephone would be lovely with her boys but I'm saving that for later if she doesn't find one here to go with her desired theme.

Classic

Estella ( a top contender)
Roxanna (another contender)
Marcella (ok)
Corinna (love it but it's the same initial as Cassius)
Camilla/Camille (same initial)
Susanna/Susannah
Anna/Hannah
Drusilla (not a fave)
Priscilla (too prissy)
Isabella/Isabelle (too popular)
Gabriella/Gabrielle (too common)
Arabella/Arabelle
Arielle/Ariella
Arianna
Allegra
Jacquetta
Sybilla
Rebecca
Tallulah
Charlotte/Carlotta
Bettina
Daniella
Arlette/Bernadette/Claudette/Colette/Violette/Yvette etc...
Clarissa/Marissa/Vanessa
Adrienne/Vivienne/Fabienne (too bland?)
Mireille
Lucilla/Lucille
Millicent
Ottoline/Ottilie
Marianna/Marietta
Emmeline
Henrietta/Harriet/Arietta
Rosetta/Rosanna

Mythological

Calliope (love it but it has same initial as Cassius)
Callista (don't know if I think this spelled with two l's and again the same initial)
Callisto (same initial as Cassius and ends the same as Apollo)
Cassandra (same initial)
Linnea

Quirky Words

Saffron
Sienna
Sierra
Yarrow
Jessamine
Willow
Calla

Of the ones you posted I like Tallulah. But I think Lyra would be perfect for her desire no double letter

Olympia would be my vote.

My picks from your list:
Estella - I'm not a fan of Stella on it's own, but I love Estelle and Estella, nn can be Essie instead, which is super cute!
Bettina - I adore "Bet" names, perhaps Elisabetta or Isabetta? I'm in love with Isabetta as an alternative to super popular Isabella
Speaking of Isabella, I like Sabella instead of Sybilla, and perhaps she would like Bellatrix?
Jessamine - a new fave
These are the ones that I think would sound best with Cassius and Apollo.
Some others with double letters:
Cressida (starts with C though)
Aquinnah (unfortunately starts with A, I love it as a full name for a girl Quinn)
Sapphira
Evanna
Dellina, Della, Delly
Loretta, Coretta, Etta
Nicolette
Odette
Odessa
Marcella
Vienna
Thalassa
Gemma

I like Persephone too! Estella is also pretty.

What about Esmeralda?

She may have to give up on some of her rules, it's really limiting.
Names that can hold their own with Cassius and Apollo:

Thessaly
Callisto
Aura
Delphine
Clio
Athena
Minerva
Gaia
Asteria
Phoenicia
Romula
Phoebe
Artemis
Demeter
Ambrosia
Dorian
Elara
Lycia
Electra
Leto
Xanthe
Echo
Pandora

From "Beyond Ava & Aiden" [2009] by Linda Rosenkrantz and Pamela Redmond Satran ...

Gods and goddesses names like Apollo:
Bellona / Calliope / Thalassa

[mischa]

Thanks for your posts, ladies! I think I may have to make two lists. I'll be adding Sapphira, Odessa, Bellatrix, Thessaly and Thalassa on the double letter list and Lyra, Olympia, Clio, Delphine, Esmeralda, Phoenicia, Elara and Xanthe on another list. Keep your ideas coming, Berries! Lots of heads are better than one!

It'll be so cute to continue the myth theme.

Dianna (actually the roman goddess use one 'n' if I'm not mistaken)
Bellona (nn Bella)
Arianne
Ariadne
Hebe
Megara
Cryseis
Daphne
Demetria
Luna
Thalia
Athena
Callypso
Bellatrix

[etoile]

How about Elettra?

Isabella Rossellini has a daughter by that name --elettra rossellini wiedemann. It's a variant of the Greek Elektra and means "shining, bright, radiant". In Greek mythology, she is the daughter of King Agamemnon.
