Name Suggestions for Girl
I need name suggestions for a firstborn daughter. Preferably Shakespearean or English. Younger brother is named Alexander

More Shakespearean Names Include:
Portia (in a lot of Shakespeare plays)
Ophelia (Hamlet)
Midsummer Night's Dream:
Titania
Helena
Hermia
Hyppolyta - unusable, but included for the sake of inclusiveness
Lysandra (based on Lysander)
I think any of these names, except Hyppolyta and Hermia, would go well with Alexander. My favorites are Portia, Ophelia, and Lysandra.

Well, Juliet is the most obvious, and it is also a stunning name. I think it would suit Alexander well, and be great for a kid today.
My second choice would be Nerissa, from the Merchant of Venice.
