10 letter matchiness
I was all ready to make Wilhelmina "Mina" and Marguerite "Margot" my top girls' names, when I realised they both had a ten letter count and how it would eternally bother me were I to have a third child whose name didn't have the same letters in their name. I then found myself looking at other ten letter names, so I decided to pick out my favourites and make a post.
So we have...
Girls
Antoinette "Anya"
Cassiopeia "Cassie"
Christabel "Belle"
Elisabetta "Eliza"
Evangeliya "Liya"
Florentine "Flora"
Laurentine "Lola"
Persephone "Effie"
Petronilla "Petra"
Temperance "Emmy"
Boys
Aleksander "Aleks"
Augustinus "August"
Beauregard "Beau"
Benedictus "Bennett"
Christophe
Constantin
Maximilian "Maxim"
Montgomery "Monte"
Sebastiaan "Bastiaan"
Sebastijan "Bastijan"
Theodosius "Teddy"
Zaccharias "Zachary"
Thoughts? Or any that stand out to you, for better or worse? How about specifically as siblings for Wilhelmina and Marguerite?
Much obliged! :)

....Ok basically I love all the girls names.
For siblings for Wilhelmina and Marguerite, I like:
Montgomery!
Beauregard
Christophe
Antoinette
Christabel
Temperance
Really, really nice picks. I do enjoy a meandering name, and I really like the fact that both W & M are florid without being gossamer-delicate. They have an earthy strength about them.

Thank you! :)
Love these!
I happen to adore long names, but have been vetoed from using them.
Of your list:
Antoinette "Anya" - I have a couple friends named Antonella and I have always thought that Antoinette would make a statement today. I like Anya as the nickname but prefer Toni or Netti. Old school. Anyway, while I like this name, I don't think it matches Wilhelmina and Marguerite as well as some of the others listed here.
Cassiopeia "Cassie" - Totally different direction with this name. It is lovely in itself, though it has never peen my style (something about Peia... though I like Pia... hmm).
Christabel "Belle" - I know one. I do not like the name as a result. I just can't picture it with a smile, and she goes by Belle too. It is a lovely name, but realistically I think it tries too hard and is weak with all the Isabels out there.
Elisabetta "Eliza" - I like it! I would prefer Elisavetta... but this will go. It matches the style of your other names the best, but I feel it is the safest elaboration. I would recommend it, but only at the bottom of the list.
Evangeliya "Liya" - My fave! I adore this name, and think that Liya is the perfect nickname. I may even suggest it (prepare for a veto) to my husband. I think this does match you other names, but in a less obvious way. This would be my top recommendation.
Florentine "Flora" - Never gets old. Simply adorable on a child and classy on a lady. I think Flora works, as does Florrie. I am not sure which I prefer... but this will match your other names to a tee.
