It sounds like he likes sophisticated princess/goddess names. Perhaps [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], [name_f]Alessandra[/name_f], [name_f]Cressida[/name_f], [name_f]Laetitia[/name_f], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], [name_f]Allegra[/name_f], [name_f]Calista[/name_f], [name_f]Briony[/name_f], and I dislike this one, but [name_f]Penelope[/name_f].
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Athena[/name_f] would be gorgeous! (Though I slightly prefer the Mad-uh-[name_u]LANE[/name_u] pronunciation)
Suggestions:
[name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f]
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] (this with the nickname [name_f]Emma[/name_f] would be adorable)
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f]
[name_f]Isla[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]

[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Savannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]
The first thing that I thought of was [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]. It has the exotic feel of [name_f]Athena[/name_f], but with nn [name_u]Rae[/name_u] like your preference of [name_f]Rachel[/name_f].
Also:
[name_f]Alanis[/name_f]
[name_f]Mariah[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrina[/name_f]
[name_f]Katerina[/name_f]
Good luck! Please let us know what you choose!
Thank you for the replies! A few of the other names that I like have shown up - [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Hannah[/name_f], & [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]/[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]. I sent your suggestions to my husband and will keep you posted when we find the perfect name!

Hm, how about [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f]? Nickname [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] would be cute and it’s a little more exotic than your fave [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f].

First thing I thought of was [name_f]Esther[/name_f]. Has that regal, intelligent history ([name_f]Athena[/name_f], [name_f]Persephone[/name_f]), and the solid, sturdy, Biblical feel like [name_f]Rachel[/name_f].
Other ideas in that zone:
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f]
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_f]Samantha[/name_f]
[name_f]Magdalen[/name_f], [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f]

Larkub101 – I’m not into [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f]. It came up in conversation on [name_m]Saturday[/name_m], actually. I like [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] but I have a semi-close friend named [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] who goes by [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] so I don’t think it would work for us.
Nooshi – I like [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] but my husband says it’s a cow’s name. I don’t know that I could actually imagine my daughter having that name but I do like it. The others just aren’t my style but I don’t know why. I think I like older names. I tend to lean toward names that were popular in the 80’s.
Judyariel – I like [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] but my husband says it’s boring. [name_f]Leilani[/name_f] reminds me of a name he has thrown out there (just remembered it) which is Leliana. I like it but I can’t see myself calling my daughter that. I also love [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] but just can’t picture it on my future daughter. And to think – I used to be set on using that one!
Your tastes seem to be all over the map, from [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] to [name_f]Megan[/name_f]! Maybe you’d both like…
