Beatrix and Hazel and Harriet and Plum

Girl Names
1

Still having a hard time finding the one.

I like quirky, vintage, magical, offbeat, names. I find myself drawn to flower, fruit names, and bird names. Our last name is really short so one syllable names are a no go.

When I call up imagery for the names I like I think of old books, plaid skirts, fiery trees or falling snow, wool stockings and cameo rings, fireplaces and scarves and moonlight and mystery and nostalgia.

I love the idea of a winter name for my winter baby - [name_u]Winter[/name_u] is out as we already have an [name_u]August[/name_u] and it seems too much. [name_f]Snow[/name_f] is out as it rhymes with our last name.

Some names we have been throwing around:

[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Plum[/name_f]: I love the feel of this name. It’s so right, but it’s wrong. This name personifies what I want in a name, but for some reason this specific one doesn’t feel like “it”.

[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]: [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] is a little popular and the whole thing is a little springy, but it’s in the right vein.

[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f]: This is close also, but would make her initials [name_m]HAM[/name_m], so no.

[name_f]Harriet[/name_f]

[name_f]Persephone[/name_f]

[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]

[name_f]Clover[/name_f] (not sure about this but maybe with the right first)

[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] (cooling on this one)

[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] ([name_f]LOVE[/name_f] this but it’s quite short and our LN begins with M also)

[name_f]Willa[/name_f] (right feel but can’t see it working for us)

I recently saw the names [name_m]Rune[/name_m] and Iverine on here, and like both as potential MNs. I know people hate [name_m]Rune[/name_m] for a girl but I like it and I like that it ties into our Scandanavian history. Same with Iverine.

It seems like it takes a good combination for me to fall hard for a name. For example I love [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] but haven’t found the right middle name for it so I can’t completely fall for it yet. I also feel like a name like [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] would need a more unusual MN since it’s more popular than I would normally go for. Help?

I would like Harriet Plum & Beatrix Clover. And Ophelia Wren, Juniper Maeve, Willa Hazel…

I also like Hazel Andromeda, and think there are a lot worse initials than HAM. She would probably choose to initial things HM rather than HAM.

I also think Hazel Beatrice or Beatrix Hazel sound good!

MN ideas for [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] ([name_m]HAM[/name_m] really isn’t the worst initial, unless she’s an actress):
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_u]Bay[/name_u]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Coraline[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Astrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Ianthe[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Niamh[/name_f]

[name_f]Love[/name_f] all of your names except [name_f]Willa[/name_f] really.
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Astoria[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] Mavea

I like [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]!

What about one of these winter connected names as a middle…

[name_f]Nieve[/name_f] pr. NEE-EV-AY snow in spanish
[name_f]Eira[/name_f] - Welsh means snow
[name_f]Neva[/name_f]- “White snow”
[name_f]Holiday[/name_f] ( which ir more a reference to xmas rather than winter)
[name_f]Holly[/name_f] or [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] ( also more a reference to xmas)

I like the cound of [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Holiday[/name_f] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Nieve[/name_f] best!

Good [name_m]Luck[/name_m]!

6

I like the sound of [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Holiday[/name_f] a lot (I actually love alliteration in names) but I’m not sure it’s the one.

Any more ideas?

Iverine [name_f]Plum[/name_f] is stunning

10

I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Plum[/name_f]. It’s probably my favorite combo that I have seen on here recently. BUT…if it’s not right for you, maybe these [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] and [name_f]Plum[/name_f] combos might fit a little better:

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Plum[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Plum[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Plum[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Plum[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Plum[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Plum[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Plum[/name_f]

[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Calliope[/name_f]

[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Lenora[/name_f]

[name_f]Arbor[/name_f]
[name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_f]Colette[/name_f]

I’m not sure about Iverine as a FN. I do quite like it, but feel it’s more suited to the middle spot. [name_m]Even[/name_m] if we did use it as a FN we probably would use the whole name rather than [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] since out LN is so short.

katemp91, you are so on the same page as me and a lot of those names are ones I considered. I do still like [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] a lot, thank you for reminding me of it!

12

[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Demetra[/name_f]
I love [name_f]Plum[/name_f] as a middle name and so many names work with it.

[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Plum[/name_f]

[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f]
