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)?

sapere aude!

Allegra falls into prissy dance mums for me. I know a few Allegra's so i've been put off a bit.

Hubby loves Seraphine or Seraphina. I don't mine it, but it would be hard to avoid the Sera nickname.

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 :)

Yeah I only call her Theodora. I don't love Seraphine like my hubby does. I don't know if it's a bit too frilly to go with Theodora.

Seraphine feels like a 'solid' name to me and not frilly or light at all. Seraphina sounds more filly but I still find the -phina part "weights down" the Sera- part in a good way.

prissy dance mum xD ok, I see the problem ^^

Hmm. Do you use NNs for the kids? If yes, maybe then there will be no other NNs created. So, as example, if you go with Fina for Seraphina, nobody will come up with Sera ^^
