Help[Opinions] Re: Alternatives to sister's name, please and thank you
in reply to a message by Dianatiger
I have heard some (some!) of your story over the years, as an avid user of Behind the Name. I offer my sincerest condolences for everything that you have went through, and if you ever need to talk...I am here (I have PTSD myself, regarding childhood trauma...not like that makes me any more trustworthy, but I just wanted to offer support). I do hope that writing this memoir helps you comfort these deep, hurtful wounds. Personally, I love to write, and it's one of my coping skills for PTSD...it tremendously helps me to apply myself (somewhere) in my stories.
I'd like to preface, that I do enjoy some of these names...so, I'm not saying that I think of "nasty women" when hearing these names. However, I think that they could fit your sister, based on the description I've heard.
Claire (or maybe Clarice / Clarise and Clarissa)
Joanne
Isabella (Also Isabel or Isabelle; this is after your sister's favorite Disney princess, and I know redheads with these names.)
Michelle
Valerie
Denise
Nicole
Patricia
Tamara
Teresa / Theresa
Tamika
Ellen
Jacqueline
Brianna (I also love the name Breann, and think it could suit your sister...but the spelling might be too complicated for your taste!)
Lillian
Maxine
Doreen (though I do prefer the spelling of Dorine!)

I’m an Isabella with red hair 😂😅
Haha, that's amazing! I don't know why, but I think red hair and the name Isabella go hand-in-hand, lol.
(Also, this is probably gonna come across as weird, but I swear I don't mean for that. I'm a blonde, but my beard is completely bright orange, so I love to hear that your hair is red. Lol, welcome to the club 🧡)

I love that 🧡
My oldest brother doesn’t have a beard because it will be red as well! Unlike my younger brother who has the same colour beard as the hair on his head. My youngest sister is a mutant though as her hair is white 🥲 Fascinating how genetics work!
