I absolutely love [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] - all are on my list for my DD, who’s due any day now - and I also like [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_f]Calliope[/name_f], [name_u]Winter[/name_u] (prefer this spelling) and [name_f]Indie[/name_f] (I prefer this as a nickname for [name_f]India[/name_f]). Nice names!

Of the names I mentioned at the top, it would be a very difficult pick and it really depends on contextual elements like your surname, what middle name you want to use, whether or not you care about popularity etc. [name_f]Olive[/name_f] and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] are probably my favourites but are rising rapidly in popularity where I’m from (Australia), as is [name_f]Florence[/name_f]. [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] are still outside of the top 100 here, which is appealing to me, and to me they’re both awesome in their original forms and their nickname versions.

But - if you’re in the US, where [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] isn’t too popular, i’d go with that - to me it’s spunky, vintage and timeless simultaneously. Despite its popularity, we may still use it if we have another daughter.

Good luck!

I like [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], and [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] the most, but [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_f]Indie[/name_f] and [name_u]Wren[/name_u] are great too.

[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] - I like it
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] - I like it
[name_f]Indie[/name_f] - I like it
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] - not my style but still a good name
[name_u]Wynter[/name_u] - one of my biggest pet peeves is when parents give their kid a word name and then spell it wrong lol, if it was spelled [name_u]Winter[/name_u] it’d be okay, but [name_u]Wynter[/name_u] is just going to confuse people in the future and result in lots of misspellings
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - I like it
[name_f]Millie[/name_f] - I like it
[name_f]Olive[/name_f] - I like it
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f] - I think she’d get teased because of the “moan” sound in her name
[name_m]Romie[/name_m] - maybe as a nickname for something else, doesn’t seem very substantial
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f] - I like it
[name_u]Mars[/name_u] - not a fan for a first name, it just seems like a bit much. Maybe as a cool middle
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] - I like it
[name_u]Wren[/name_u] - I like it

[name_f]Clementine[/name_f]: Having looked at the rest of your list, this name seems to bridge all of the facets of your naming style really well. It’s offbeat and whimsical, like [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_f]Indie[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], et. all, but also vintage and classic, like [name_f]Ramona[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_f]Millie[/name_f]. I personally really like it, especially because it has such a lovely meaning: “mild, merciful.”

[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]: If you have both [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] on your list, I’d just use [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and go with [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] for short. That way you get two for one :). I like [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], but I’m more comfortable with it with a longer name to anchor it and make it age well (like [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]!)

[name_f]Indie[/name_f]: I like it as a nickname for [name_u]Indigo[/name_u], but on its own, it’s a little too on-the-nose for me, if you know what I mean?

[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]: Everything I said about [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] goes for [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], to some extent. It also has the added benefit of the nickname [name_f]Junie[/name_f], which feels a lot like [name_f]Indie[/name_f] and [name_f]Millie[/name_f]. I love how precocious the name [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] sounds. Not sure why it makes me picture a little genius.

[name_u]Wynter[/name_u]: I like [name_u]Winter[/name_u], especially as a middle name (which is odd, because I don’t like lowercase-w winter). But the y here ruins it a bit for me. Have you thought about [name_f]Elowen[/name_f]?

[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]: I like [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]. It’s sweet and gentle.

[name_f]Millie[/name_f]: Have you considered [name_f]Romilly[/name_f]? [name_f]Millie[/name_f] is sweet, but I’m not sure how I feel about it on its own.

[name_f]Olive[/name_f]: So sweet. But I wonder if it will age well? I think the name [name_f]Olive[/name_f] might be a bit too informal for some people at some point in their lives.

[name_f]Ramona[/name_f]: Depending on whether or not I’m thinking of [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] from the chapter books or Moaning [name_f]Myrtle[/name_f] (not sure why this ever comes to mind, given that there’s only one syllable in common, but it often does) I either like this name or find it sort of morose sounding.

[name_m]Romie[/name_m]: See [name_f]Millie[/name_f]! I have the exact same opinion about [name_m]Romie[/name_m].

[name_f]Calliope[/name_f]: I love how lively [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] is, although it feels like a name that can dominate the person. I can see this getting much more popular, now that [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] is such a common name and the people who probably gravitated to [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] pre-Kardashians might not gravitate to it as much anymore.

[name_u]Mars[/name_u]: Too out there for me, literally :slight_smile: maybe as a nickname for [name_f]Amara[/name_f]?

[name_f]Florence[/name_f]: The meaning (“flourishing”) makes this name for me. I think I prefer it as a middle name, but it’s pretty and elegant.

[name_u]Wren[/name_u]: I like it as a middle name. As a first name, the sound is a bit bare for me.

In sum –*favorites are [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], least favorite is [name_u]Mars[/name_u]. I think the name [name_f]Romilly[/name_f] would work really well for you.

I’ve had a bit of a recent soft spot for [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_f]Florence[/name_f], and [name_u]Wren[/name_u], but they are all gorgeous names. The only one I’m not too fond of is [name_f]Ramona[/name_f], but that’s just me, it’s still gorgeous. [name_u]Mars[/name_u] is quite unique but very pretty, especially as a middle (think [name_f]Veronica[/name_f] [name_u]Mars[/name_u], the ultimate badass)

From most to least favorite:
[name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_u]Wynter[/name_u]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Millie[/name_f]
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f]
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_f]Indie[/name_f]
[name_u]Mars[/name_u]
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
[name_m]Romie[/name_m]

I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u]:
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] - [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] and modern.
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f] - Gorgeous.
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] - Cute with nickname [name_u]June[/name_u]/[name_f]Juni[/name_f].
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f] - Great connection with the muse and can easily go by [name_f]Callie[/name_f].

No strong opinion either way:
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Indie[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_u]Wren[/name_u]

I really dislike:
[name_u]Wynter[/name_u] - I love [name_u]Winter[/name_u], but not spelled incorrectly.
[name_f]Millie[/name_f] - Doesn’t sound like a full name to me. (What about [name_f]Camille[/name_f]?)
[name_f]Olive[/name_f] - Not my style.
[name_m]Romie[/name_m] - Not my style.
[name_u]Mars[/name_u] - Very masculine god name, feels odd on a girl.

I saw your list and immediately thought of suggesting [name_f]Romilly[/name_f]! Other suggestions are [name_f]Cosima[/name_f], [name_f]Cassia[/name_f], and [name_f]Cerelia[/name_f].

My favorites from your list are [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_f]Ramona[/name_f], [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Indie[/name_f], and [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]. I’m not a huge fan of [name_u]Wynter[/name_u], [name_f]Millie[/name_f], or [name_u]Mars[/name_u].
