Any suggestions for my girls' list?

Girl Names
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] guys,

Recently I’ve been trying to improve my girls’ list. But I haven’t found a lot of names that really stick out to me yet. My favorites (in order of favorite to least favorite) are: Jinhuan (nn [name_f]Jinny[/name_f]), [name_f]Petra[/name_f] (pronounced PAY-truh), [name_u]Fable[/name_u] (nn [name_f]Faye[/name_f]), [name_f]Briar[/name_f], [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Coralie[/name_f]), [name_f]Celeste[/name_f], [name_u]James[/name_u]
(nn [name_u]Jamie[/name_u]), [name_f]Willow[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Willa[/name_f]), [name_f]Zelda[/name_f], [name_f]Kyra[/name_f], [name_u]Aspen[/name_u] (nn [name_u]Penny[/name_u]), [name_f]Emmelyn[/name_f], [name_f]Twyla[/name_f], [name_f]Lani[/name_f], [name_f]Bree[/name_f], [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_f]Colleen[/name_f], [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f], [name_u]Ellis[/name_u], [name_u]Carmen[/name_u], [name_u]Everly[/name_u]
(nn Ev or [name_u]Ever[/name_u]), [name_f]Ravenna[/name_f] (nn [name_u]Raven[/name_u]), [name_f]Minerva[/name_f], [name_f]Laurel[/name_f], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_f]Amber[/name_f], [name_f]Eponine[/name_f], [name_f]Myrtle[/name_f], [name_f]Luna[/name_f], [name_f]Nova[/name_f], [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] (nn [name_u]Rue[/name_u]) and [name_f]Honor[/name_f].
In general, I’m not a big fan of word names or yoo-neek spellings. Names like [name_u]Fable[/name_u], [name_f]Honor[/name_f], and Jinhuan are exceptions because they have a nostalgic reference. I like nature names (ex. [name_f]Briar[/name_f], [name_f]Willow[/name_f], [name_f]Amber[/name_f], [name_f]Myrtle[/name_f], [name_u]Aspen[/name_u], [name_u]Raven[/name_u], [name_f]Laurel[/name_f], [name_u]Rue[/name_u], and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]). Unisex, masculine sounding, and boy names for girls are sometimes desirable. My most recent additions to my list are [name_f]Petra[/name_f], [name_f]Briar[/name_f], [name_f]Celeste[/name_f], [name_u]Aspen[/name_u], and [name_f]Bree[/name_f]. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you have any suggestions?

[name_f]Laurel[/name_f] - love this one :slight_smile:
[name_f]Luna[/name_f] - beautiful
[name_f]Nova[/name_f] - one of my favorites! great name!
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f] (nn [name_u]Rue[/name_u]) - love it!
[name_f]Twyla[/name_f] - I kinda like this one, it’s so refreshing
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] - I like this one. It’s a pretty and uncommon name
[name_u]Everly[/name_u] (nn Ev or [name_u]Ever[/name_u]) - this is one of my guilty pleasures, I love it even though it’s rather trendy
[name_f]Ravenna[/name_f] (nn [name_u]Raven[/name_u]) - I really like it
[name_f]Willow[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Willa[/name_f]) - I like this, it’s very pretty

[name_f]Petra[/name_f] (pronounced PAY-truh) - [name_f]Petra[/name_f] is pronounced peht-ruh in English, trying to force another pronunciation will be an uphill battle in the US at least. I know it’s pronounced like that with a lovely Spanish accent but most people will not say it like that. It is a gorgeous name though
[name_f]Coraline[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Coralie[/name_f]) - I like [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] and I like [name_f]Coralie[/name_f], but I feel like they’re both stand alone names.
[name_u]James[/name_u] (nn [name_u]Jamie[/name_u]) - please don’t use [name_u]James[/name_u] for a girl, it’s not cute
[name_u]Aspen[/name_u] (nn [name_u]Penny[/name_u]) - I really want to like this one but all I can hear is “ass pen” (like an enclosure for donkeys)
[name_f]Emmelyn[/name_f] - Sorry, but this is the definition of trendy to me. [name_f]Emily[/name_f] with lyn tacked on the end and spelled wrong.

Suggestions:
[name_f]Farrah[/name_f]
[name_f]Tilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Umbria[/name_f]
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f]
[name_u]Kyrie[/name_u]
[name_f]Zarah[/name_f]
[name_f]Talitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Briella[/name_f]
[name_f]Linnea[/name_f]
[name_f]Mavis[/name_f]
[name_f]Mazarine[/name_f]

Im not sure how to pronounce Jinhuan, and I dislike the name [name_f]Petra[/name_f]. [name_u]Fable[/name_u] is ok, probably better as a middle name. [name_f]Briar[/name_f] is cute, and so is [name_f]Coraline[/name_f], however I really dont think [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] works as a suitable nn. Its one letter shorter. [name_m]How[/name_m] about cora, or cory? Maybe even [name_f]Coral[/name_f]? [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] is pretty, I like [name_f]Celestia[/name_f] too. Not a fan of [name_u]James[/name_u] at all for a little girl. I love [name_f]Willow[/name_f], and [name_f]Willa[/name_f], but again, theyre seperate names. I like [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] and [name_f]Kyra[/name_f]. [name_u]Aspen[/name_u] is adorable. Have you thought about [name_u]Waverly[/name_u]? It means meadow of quivering aspens. ^.^ Not a fan of [name_f]Emmelyn[/name_f], but I do like [name_f]Twyla[/name_f]. And [name_f]Stella[/name_f], and maybe even [name_f]Starla[/name_f]. [name_f]Lani[/name_f] and [name_f]Bree[/name_f] sound more like nn than full names. What about [name_f]Leilani[/name_f]? [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] has always been a love of mine, its so vintage and adorable. [name_f]Colleen[/name_f] seems dated to me for some reason. [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] is cute. I have a cousin named [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]. :slight_smile: Not a fan of [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] or [name_u]Carmen[/name_u] at all. [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_u]Ellery[/name_u]? [name_u]Everly[/name_u] is cute. I do like [name_f]Ravenna[/name_f], and [name_u]Raven[/name_u], as seperate names. Really dislike [name_f]Minerva[/name_f], and I see a lot of teasing potential there. [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] is cute, which brings me to [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], which means laurel! I love [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]. [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] is cute, and really country chic. I love [name_f]Amabel[/name_f] too. [name_f]Amber[/name_f], [name_f]Eponine[/name_f], and [name_f]Myrtle[/name_f] are nms. [name_u]Ember[/name_u] sounds a lot fresher than [name_f]Amber[/name_f]. [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f]? I have a soft spot for [name_f]Luna[/name_f], but due to recent happenings, I dont know if Id ever have the guts to use it now. [name_f]Nova[/name_f] has been on my list for years, as a nn for Novalee. [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] is cute, and [name_u]Rue[/name_u] is an adorable nn. I love [name_f]Honor[/name_f], its one of the few virtue names I really like. I have a few suggestions you might like: [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], [name_f]Astrid[/name_f], [name_f]Estella[/name_f], [name_f]Soleil[/name_f], [name_u]Seren[/name_u],[name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Emberly[/name_f], Rowenna, [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f], [name_f]Geneva[/name_f], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Mavis[/name_f].

Jinhuan doesn’t look right. They are the Korean name [name_f]Jin[/name_f] and the Chinese name Huan together right? I would just do [name_f]Jin[/name_f] Huan instead. It looks better and less made up. It would still work as a honor name. I agree with kala_way about the [name_f]Petra[/name_f] pronounciation. [name_u]James[/name_u] is a boys name.
