I have two daughters - [name_f]Gianna[/name_f] and [name_f]Athena[/name_f]. I like unique without wacky - well, honestly I would likely love wacky, but hubs prefers Gabrielles and the like. So we have to find a middle ground.
We have our boy names, but I just haven’t found anything for a girl that says YES, THIS IS IT. So I’m calling on your wisdom. Here are the parameters: The middle name will be [name_f]Gail[/name_f] and our last name is Stevens. No alliteration, nothing on the top 100, I am really loving N names like [name_f]Nova[/name_f] and [name_f]Nora[/name_f]. There is a slight possibility the middle could be [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f], if I found the perfect first name for it. I prefer [name_f]Gail[/name_f] (this is hubs’ mother’s name who is fighting cancer right now).
I’m not huge on meaning so long as it’s nothing like Satan’s spawn or anything. I prefer no biblical names as well. So…throw it at me!
The others didn’t light any sparks, but they give me somewhere to start. My girls were named at 8 weeks gestation…so this is nuts for me! I’m due at the end of [name_u]January[/name_u].
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Scarlet[/name_f]
[name_f]Portia[/name_f]
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
Runa
[name_f]Zara[/name_f]
[name_f]Aviva[/name_f]
[name_f]Liesl[/name_f] (I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] this name, it was on our short list for my daughter [name_f]Violet[/name_f], but I have a [name_m]Linus[/name_m] and am weird about having 2 kids with the same letters to start)
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] (Again, love this name and sad I will never get to use it)
[name_f]Opal[/name_f]
[name_f]Maris[/name_f]
Cracking up at your dd’s liking [name_f]Odette[/name_f]. My niece is obsessed with the [name_f]Barbie[/name_f] Swan [name_u]Lake[/name_u] and is always naming her toys “[name_f]Odette[/name_f]”.
My mum’s name is [name_f]Gianna[/name_f] And funnily enough…you say you like ‘N’ names…and her sister’s (my aunty) name begins with N. Her name is [name_f]Nilla[/name_f]. Pronounced like the ever-popular [name_f]Milla[/name_f]. Slightly softer sounding.
[name_f]Layla[/name_f]/[name_f]Leila[/name_f] - this is on our short list and hubs’ favorite. I’m still lukewarm on it, though.
[name_f]Mila[/name_f] is my short list, love love love it. But [name_f]Mila[/name_f] [name_f]Gail[/name_f]? I dunno. Thoughts?
I see several I love but my husband would grunt at me about…you guys are great, thank you!
