Another unconventional thread

Hello, berries.
I came here not too long ago to ask for help. As I said the other time around, I’m recovering from a really rough and way-too-long period of my life and my therapist told me to change my name “socially” if I thought that could help me. I tried friends and family but they’re all so used to the name I was born and raised with, they can’t think about any others, so I came here and asked you guys for help.

You guys helped me pick [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], based on the list of names I like (I’m including it again at the bottom of this post) and the short description I gave of myself (also included below), close seconds were [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] and [name_f]Anya[/name_f]. And I come here today to ask you for middle name ideas!

One berry that also voted for [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], mentioned that it sounded very fire-like and but [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] had a more “dreamy” sound to it which I love, I am a daydreamer and I thought that was a great observation, so maybe a dreamy name would be great.

I also think a name that I could use together with [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] would be pretty cool (I have an aunt named [name_f]Gina[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and you better not try to call her [name_f]Gina[/name_f], she’s always [name_f]Gina[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and will only respond to it), I just think it sounds cute but that’s not at all a requirement here.

The list of names I gave on the other thread was: [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], [name_f]Anya[/name_f]/[name_f]Anja[/name_f], [name_f]Laura[/name_f], [name_f]Ayla[/name_f], [name_f]Heidi[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Molly[/name_f],[name_f]Amaya[/name_f], [name_f]Liesl[/name_f], [name_f]Elise[/name_f].

I think I could work really well with [name_f]Laura[/name_f] but I’m here for new suggestions (opinions on that are more than welcome too).

This is the short, not-in-detail-at-all description I gave of myself.

I’m 21 (born on march 1997, I’m a pisces), was registered with the 3rd most popular girl name in my city the year I was born, I’m an ENFP, completely arts-inclined person (musical theatre major, child/family photographer, play instruments, dance, sing, act, paint and try to draw), huge languages lover (learned 4 on my own and am working on my 5th), huge animal/nature lover (dog person, though i’ll honestly cuddle everything and even have a pet goat), very outdoorsy person. I adore the night sky, I have stars on basically everything I own. I’m a very gentle talker, I don’t swear and I don’t yell but I can get pretty loud because I get excited over everything way too easily, I’ve been called a ball of joy and energy before. And I really don’t know if this bit helps but I’m 5’2 (159cm, almost 5’3), I have dark blonde hair, brown eyes, some light freckles on the top of my cheeks and you’ll often find me in floral dresses with ankle boots or shirts with cute sayings and quotes from musicals. I know some people have the whole vision thing and that helps them think of a person, so I thought I’d add that in.

I know this is a lot to ask, but I really need your help and I deeply deeply appreciate it. Thank you.

What would you pair Zoe with?
The only one I though by myself was Zoe Laura, I’m loving the suggestions, so far my favourite are Zoe Estella, Zoe Dawn, Zoe Phoenix also loving the suggestions of Liv, Livia, Elsa and Lucy though I still need to grow on the flow of these.

The first name that came into my mind is [name_f]Marina[/name_f]. :slight_smile:

[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Celia[/name_f]
[name_f]Mia[/name_f]
[name_f]Livia[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f]
[name_f]Lena[/name_f]
[name_f]Cara[/name_f]

[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] is a great pick for you. Here are a few suggestions for middle names -

[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_u]Vega[/name_u]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Nova[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Astrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Estella[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Dawn[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Carina[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_u]Kalani[/name_u]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps! Good luck

From your list and description, I really like [name_f]Heidi[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f] and [name_f]Molly[/name_f].

Other names could be: [name_f]Summer[/name_f], [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], [name_f]Marissa[/name_f], [name_f]Sadie[/name_f], [name_f]Liv[/name_f], [name_f]Eva[/name_f], [name_f]Rosa[/name_f], [name_f]Ida[/name_f], [name_f]Rachel[/name_f]. [name_f]Ferne[/name_f].

Many many of them are on my favourites list! [name_f]Marina[/name_f] is a no-no to me for a personal reason, but I happen to really like it too! My favourites are [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Mia[/name_f], [name_f]Livia[/name_f], [name_f]Elsa[/name_f] and [name_f]Lena[/name_f] (I love [name_f]Helena[/name_f], [name_f]Elena[/name_f] and [name_f]Alena[/name_f] too) but I’m not sure if they would flow well with the ending of [name_f]Zoe[/name_f]? Gotta say them out loud a couple of times and see how they sound. I love [name_f]Cara[/name_f] too, but growing up with portuguese being spoken around the house as well, I instantly think of “[name_f]Cara[/name_f]” as “face” and not “dear” (it means both in portuguese and i’m pretty sure in spanish too) so I couldn’t work with that.

Thank you so much!

Thank you!!! I love the suggestions of [name_f]Astrid[/name_f], [name_f]Estella[/name_f] (anything related to stars, really, send it all my way please!!!), [name_f]Dawn[/name_f] and [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]. I wonder which one of these would you choose if it was you naming me? I would have a hard time picking between these. Thank you so much for your suggestions!

I grew up obsessed with [name_f]Heidi[/name_f], a cartoon of a little girl that reminds me a lot of little me so it makes me very happy that you like this one out of my list, just not sure if it would work with [name_f]Zoe[/name_f]? Still need to try it out loud. I also love [name_f]Liv[/name_f], [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] and [name_f]Summer[/name_f] out of your list, but [name_f]Summer[/name_f] is way too close to my last name so I can’t take that into consideration. I adore it though, thank you!!

I agree with pp, [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] is a great choice for you. Here are some names with a focus on constellations/night sky:

[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] - [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] is longer than most of the previous suggestions but it’s very dreamy and evocative
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Lyra[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Amaya[/name_f] - very dreamy feel, [name_f]Amaya[/name_f] means “night rain”
Zoe [name_f]Leila[/name_f]/[name_f]Layla[/name_f]/[name_f]Lila[/name_f] - “night”

Good luck!

I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] you for these suggestions!! [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] has been a favourite of mine [name_u]FOREVER[/name_u] (blame Disney), [name_f]Amaya[/name_f] was in my original list and I was a bit disappointed that it got no votes! I also love [name_f]Lila[/name_f]/[name_f]Layla[/name_f]/[name_f]Leila[/name_f]. I love love love names with this “ay/ei” sound, whixh was the main reason why [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] made it to my first list. Thank you so much!!!

I really like [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Laura[/name_f] of all of the options
I also think [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_u]Lynn[/name_u] would make a great call.
[name_u]Lynn[/name_u] is sweet and cute and I think that fits the dreamy you are looking for. [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Laura[/name_f] could make for nicknames like [name_u]Zola[/name_u] or even Zoella. And both of them could make [name_f]Zoelle[/name_f].

[name_f]Ella[/name_f] and [name_f]Estella[/name_f] are great too!

I love [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] paired with 3 syllable middles

[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_u]Alexis[/name_u]
