Help[Opinions] Augusta
Still trying to find more girls names that we love (rather than like)
Augusta popped into my mind. I'm trying to avoid the ending in -a but it seems like I don't really like anything else!
I'm not sure if Augusta Arnold is too clunky.
I think THeodora and Augusta sound nice together though.
WDYT of Augusta?

Well, of the names you've suggested so far, Augusta is the best, I think, though I'd never say I like it. It has a coldness to it that's not very appealing. Theodora and Augusta do definitely go together, in a Roman Empire kind of way. Augusta Arnold isn't bad as a combo.

Thanks,
I do enjoy getting your opinions on names because you are generally brutally honest :)
I do agree that it can sound a bit 'cold' and it doesn't have the appeal to me yet that Theodora has.

Not a fan of Augusta, sorry. It just has a bit of a harsh sound to it and like you said, Augusta Arnold is too clunky.
What about Dulcie? It's something a bit different and I think it's quite nice. Or maybe Tabitha, Agnes, Bernice, Celeste, Demelza, Edith, Esmeralda, Eleanor, Felicity, Martha, Miriam, Nancy or Jemima?

This is also my favourite of the names you’ve suggested so far. It’s not exactly my style, but it’s nice. Not really great for nns though. Augie? Gussy?

I like Augusta and I think it goes very well with Theodora. Both names are very elegant, but Augusta is a bit rougher. Augusta Arnold is no problem IMO.
But I like the sib set Aurelia and Theodora better.
I know, it is not the question, but it came to my mind: What about Allegra (a bit like Augusta) or Seraphina (my favourite for a set with Theodora)?

I know Theodora gets Theo or Thea from a few people but it seems like you've mostly kept the use of her full name without nicknames? Seraphine or Seraphina could be the same.
What about Seraphine or Seraphina with the nickname Rafi? Or Raphi? I saw your post about Raphaela but I think Seraphine or Seraphina is a much better match with Theodora :)

I have loved Augusta for many years.
And you're right, Augusta and Theodora sound very nice together.
My favorite name to go with Augusta is Philippa and the combo I used to use the most was Augusta Hazel, but Augusta Niamh and Augusta Eugenie are also coming to mind.

It's a good name but doesn't seem to compete with Theodora well enough to grow up in her shadow IMO.
I say that as a younger sister myself.
Theodora sounds happy and young, an abundance name - Augusta sounds heavy and responsible, more of a power name, severe.
Also, I'm not a fan of the sound of Augusta or its likely nicknames.
I agree with the suggestion of Aurelia.
Do you like Rosalinda? Cressida? Georgina?

Marlena
Magdalene / Magdalena
Louise / Louisa
Genevieve
Geraldine
Justine
Nadine
Zenaida
Zora (too 1920s with Theo??)
Gerarda
Selene
Athene / Athena
Federica (I met a young Feddy once and it was adorable)

My mother had an aunt named Augusta, always called Gusstie
What she's remembered in the family for, is for planting some very quick growing, and hard to eradicate, bamboo.It would spring out of the frozen ground in April, and be 5 feet tall by June. The plant was known, in family, as "The Curse of Gusstie."

Great story. Terrible nickname! :D

any of these?
Justine
Lavinia
Druscilla (it is useable! I had a classmate named Druscilla)
Constance
Laurice. This was my sister-in-law's name.
Adeline? Adelaide, probably not, because of the Australian city. But maybe, if you liked it. There are plenty of Canadian women named Victoria, and there is the Canadian city of Victoria, British Columbia.
do you like Joanna at all? Theodora and Joanna?
