Barbie Princess Name Choices

Last night, my sister and I were discussing movies we used to love as children. When [name_f]Mikayla[/name_f] (my sister) was little, she really enjoyed the series of [name_f]Barbie[/name_f] princess movies, and, with us sharing a room, her elder sister (me) was subjected to all of them repeatedly - to the point where I even enjoyed them a bit too (I would have been into the first couple, but once I hit 10, I stopped liking them as much as my 7 year old sister did :p).

As we were talking, we looked up the names of the various characters. They are:

[name_f]Erika[/name_f]
[name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]
[name_f]Luciana[/name_f]
[name_f]Odette[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosella[/name_f]
[name_f]Alexa[/name_f]
[name_u]Blair[/name_u]*
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Liana[/name_f]
Merliah
[name_f]Annika[/name_f]
Brietta
Catania
[name_f]Isla[/name_f]*
[name_f]Alexa[/name_f]*
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u]*
[name_f]Gina[/name_f]
[name_f]Graciella[/name_f]
[name_f]Katrina[/name_f]
[name_f]Lorena[/name_f]
[name_f]Sofia[/name_f]
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
Trevi
[name_f]Portia[/name_f]
[name_f]Rita[/name_f]
[name_f]Lumina[/name_f]
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u]
[name_f]Melody[/name_f]
[name_f]Miranda[/name_f]

(names with a * were used more than once in different films)

And the 12 Dancing Princesses:

[name_f]Ashlyn[/name_f], [name_u]Blair[/name_u], [name_u]Courtney[/name_u], [name_f]Delia[/name_f], [name_f]Edeline[/name_f], [name_u]Fallon[/name_u], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_u]Hadley[/name_u], [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_f]Janessa[/name_f], [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] & [name_f]Lacey[/name_f]. (In birth order)

I think my favourites would have to be; [name_f]Delia[/name_f], [name_f]Edeline[/name_f], [name_u]Fallon/name_u, [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_u]Hadley/name_u, [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f], [name_f]Lacey/name_f, [name_u]Meredith[/name_u], [name_f]Miranda[/name_f], [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f], [name_f]Annika[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], Lorena, [name_f]Liana[/name_f], and [name_f]Sofia[/name_f].

What names do you like best from the list?

Also: If you could rename the 12 Dancing Princesses (using the A,B,C,D…pattern), what would you name them?

This is a fun thread! [name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are…

Some of the 12 dancing princess names don’t sound like princesses… who’s ever heard of a princess named [name_f]Ashlyn[/name_f] or [name_u]Courtney[/name_u]? I would rename them:

[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], [name_f]Brynna[/name_f], [name_f]Christina[/name_f], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], [name_f]Evelina[/name_f], [name_f]Fiona[/name_f], [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Josephina[/name_f], [name_f]Katarina[/name_f], and [name_f]Laelia[/name_f]

I really like (i.e. Have on my list):
[name_f]Erika[/name_f] (Okay, not on my list, but I know the nicest [name_f]Erica[/name_f], so I’ve started to warm to the name.)
[name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] ([name_m]New[/name_m] crush, would honour my mum)
[name_f]Luciana[/name_f]
[name_f]Odette[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Isla[/name_f]
[name_f]Lorena[/name_f] ([name_m]Just[/name_m] can’t resist an -ena/-enna name)
I also know an [name_f]Annika[/name_f], but I’m not a fan of the name.

As for renaming the 12 dancing princesses: [name_f]Arabella[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f], [name_f]Demetra[/name_f], [name_f]Evanthe[/name_f], [name_f]Frances[/name_f], [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f], [name_f]Hermione[/name_f], [name_f]Isadora[/name_f], [name_f]Jessamine[/name_f], [name_f]Kyra[/name_f], & Lowenna.
I never thought I’d ever even associate myself with [name_f]Barbie[/name_f], let alone rename the 12 dancing princesses… [name_m]How[/name_m] I got here I don’t know. :stuck_out_tongue:

I like [name_f]Melody[/name_f], [name_u]Meredith[/name_u], [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_f]Ashlyn[/name_f], and [name_f]Delia[/name_f].

I would rename them: [name_f]Amity[/name_f], [name_f]Blythe[/name_f], [name_f]Camille[/name_f], [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f], [name_f]Estelle[/name_f], [name_f]Fiona[/name_f], [name_f]Gemma[/name_f], [name_u]Harmony[/name_u], [name_f]Indira[/name_f], [name_f]Julia[/name_f], Keelah, and [name_f]Lexa[/name_f].
