Amarante is lovely. I've been attracted to it too. My only hesitation is I'm not quite sure whether the authentic spelling is Amarante or Amaranthe? And Pronuciation is still a bit of a hurdle for me. I don't know whether it's Sanskrit, Greek, French. I really want to use this name, but my ignorance holds me back. Any information that you have would be very much appreciated.As for combinations / siblings, how about:Amarante Celeste
Amarante Valerie
Amarante Noe"l
Amarante Catherine
Amarante Liv
Amarante Charlotte
Amarante Laurel
Amarante Fleur
Amarante Jacinthe
Amarante Pilar
Amarante Inez
Amarante Chloe
Amarante Daphne
Amarante Hesper
Amarante Juno
Amarante Vivien
Amarante Rosamund
Amarante Julia
Amarante Blythe
Amarante Genevieve
Amarante Diana
Amarante Persis

It's greek. I asked Pavlos a while back about it.As for the spelling, eh...I like it as Amarante. Things change over the centuries - Katharine is now kath-ryn, not kath-a-ryne. ;-)I really love:
Amarante Verity - unfading truth is a neat idea
Liv Amarante
Amarante Pilar

Thanks. :-)Lacking restraint, I often type before I do my own research. I was able to use the link to BtN's info. It makes perfect sense that it's a Greek name with the "-anthos" root in there. Glad you liked those girl combos. Now that you mention the name, Amarante and Pavlos look pretty dashing together as siblings. Yes?
