My BF and I are having a difficult time deciding the name of our daughter and she is due in less than two weeks! Our son’s name is Nyke (like [name_u]Nike[/name_u]) and we picked it for its uniqueness and meaning of “victory”. Now with a baby girl on the, we are stumped for a name!
We want it to go along with Nyke as being unique and a name you may only hear once in a lifetime! And to go along with a strong meaning. A couple of options we have kept on our list are:
I like [name_f]Kaia[/name_f] with Nyke. Other options:
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f]
[name_f]Maia[/name_f]/[name_f]Maya[/name_f]/[name_f]Amaya[/name_f]
[name_f]Gaia[/name_f]
[name_f]Kyra[/name_f]/[name_f]Kira[/name_f]
[name_f]Laya[/name_f]
[name_f]Adira[/name_f]
[name_f]Raya[/name_f]
[name_f]Ione[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_u]Zuri[/name_u]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f]
[name_f]Romilly[/name_f]
[name_f]Xena[/name_f]/[name_f]Zena[/name_f]- may be a little out there but it has a strong association like Nyke
I also like [name_f]Kaia[/name_f] with Nyke. Some other ideas:
[name_f]Aura[/name_f]
[name_u]Fable[/name_u] nn [name_f]Faye[/name_f]
[name_f]Faye[/name_f]
[name_f]Amara[/name_f]
[name_f]Zella[/name_f]
[name_u]Dove[/name_u]
[name_f]Sparrow[/name_f] nn Row
[name_u]Rue[/name_u]
[name_u]Wylie[/name_u]
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u]
[name_u]Delaney[/name_u]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f]
[name_f]Serena[/name_f]
[name_f]Selena[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f]
[name_f]Zadie[/name_f]
[name_u]Bliss[/name_u]
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_f]Lyla[/name_f]
Nyke is awesome! ^^
However, if you told me you had a boy and a girl and that their names were Nyke and [name_u]Onyx[/name_u], I would assume [name_u]Onyx[/name_u] was the boy and Nyke the girl ([name_u]Nike[/name_u] was the female personification of victory in Greek mythology).
I think Nyke’s sister needs a recognisably feminine name to be honest, so my vote goes to [name_f]Kaia[/name_f]. [name_f]Kaia[/name_f] is a great name. She also has ties to Greek mythology, but is not as ‘in-your-face’ as [name_u]Echo[/name_u] is (especially with Nyke! The strong ties to mythology again make me think of Nyke as a girl).
For other recognisably feminine names, I think going for something ending in -a would be more than enough, alternatively something that’s only ever used for girls and sees enough use for people to associate it as such.
[name_f]Kasia[/name_f] (a little more unexpected than [name_f]Kaia[/name_f], love that for you!)
[name_f]Zula[/name_f]
[name_f]Nova[/name_f]
[name_f]Cara[/name_f]
[name_f]Zosia[/name_f]
[name_f]Opal[/name_f]
[name_f]Eira[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_u]Isra[/name_u]
[name_u]Sage[/name_u] / [name_f]Saga[/name_f]
[name_f]Tess[/name_f]
[name_f]Liv[/name_f]
[name_u]Tora[/name_u]
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] / [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] / [name_f]Sigrid[/name_f]
(maybe also [name_u]Vega[/name_u], [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] or [name_f]Cleo[/name_f]/[name_f]Clio[/name_f]?)
