What do you think of this Italian & Portuguese variant of Undine? I've always wanted to like Undine because of its meaning & mythical significance, but I never could warm up to it. Ondina, however, is romantic and beautifully languid; I'm quite fond of it!

Here are some combos:

Ondina Blythe
Ondina Cecily
Ondina Charlotte
Ondina Clare
Ondina Dorothy
Ondina Eloise
Ondina Emily
Ondina Frances
Ondina Harriet
Ondina Hazel
Ondina Hester
Ondina Judith
Ondina Juliet
Ondina Lilian
Ondina Lilias
Ondina Margaret
Ondina Marguerite
Ondina Millicent
Ondina Miriam
Ondina Muriel
Ondina Pearl
Ondina Richemay
Ondina Rosalie
Ondina Rosalind
Ondina Rosamund
Ondina Roselil
Ondina Rosemary
Ondina Sibyl
Ondina Solveig
Ondina Verity
Ondina Violet
Ondina Vivien
Ondina Zoe

I personally prefer Ondine. It sounds stronger and more mystical somehow.

Hi Wordsmith !!!

I really like this name.
I love water and mythology and this name is Italian despite being rare!

I pick these combos from your list:

Ondina Zoe
Ondina Sibyl
Ondina Pearl
Ondina Juliet
Ondina Dorothy but maybe too many 'd'...
Ondina Clare but prefer Claire
Ondina Charlotte

It has a beautiful ring to it but probably not something I would use IRL. That aside, I admire these:

Ondina Charlotte (Very beautiful. Also Charlotte happens to be the middle name of my youngest neice. Slightly biased though I have adored the name long before her arrival)

Ondina Clare (Claire is how I would spell it. Clare looks unnatractive even and a bit masculine)

Ondina Frances: Frances is pretty much "meh" but the flow of this is superb!

Ondina Margaret

Ondina Violet

There were other that I like individually but didn't care for the sound of the combo like Eloise, Emily, Juliet, Lillian & Zoe.
