Hello
Although not all of these are on our list, I’m curious to know which people prefer out of some similar pairs or trios of names and why. ([name_m]Feel[/name_m] free to say neither if you can’t stand either option!)

Cheers!

[name_f]Winifred[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Viridis[/name_f] or [name_f]Vivica[/name_f]: neither
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f]
[name_f]Velvet[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
[name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f]
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] or [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] ([name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] is lovely but it seems like a lot for someone to live with)
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
(The rest aren’t really my thing)
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Viridis[/name_f] (but I don’t much like either option)
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f]
[name_f]Vienna[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] (I love this name)
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
[name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f]
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] or [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivica[/name_f]
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f]
[name_f]Velvet[/name_f]- I actually prefer the sound of [name_f]Vienna[/name_f] but all I think of is [name_f]Vienna[/name_f] sausages for some reason
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f] or [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]- Hard one! I would use [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], but would be more excited to meet a little [name_f]Delphine[/name_f].
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
[name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f]
Top 3: [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]/[name_f]Delphine[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f].
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] - though neither is really my style, [name_f]Winsome[/name_f] just doesn’t sound like a name to me
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] followed by [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] and then [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] - I like all three of them but I find [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] the most interesting and youthful while still having a lot of history, [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] sounds a bit heavy to me but is quite charming and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] is lovely but it’s a go-to name on here, so it sounds a tad boring to me
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f] or [name_f]Blanche[/name_f] - neither is for me
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] or Verily or [name_f]Vera[/name_f] - neither
[name_f]Vivica[/name_f]
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f]
[name_f]Vienna[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Xanthe[/name_f]
[name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f]
I like:
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] - I love the nn [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] but [name_f]Winsome[/name_f] sounds like a description of something and not a name to me.
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] - Personally prefer [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] but [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] is a nice name
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f]
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f] and [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] - I don’t love either name but I don’t have any real issues with either one either
[name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] - Not my style but much better than the other 2 options
Favorites:Genevieve, Vera, and Elowen
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] – although I am not a big fan of this name, I do love the nn [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivica[/name_f] – [name_f]Velvet[/name_f] is tacky to me.
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f]
[name_f]Vienna[/name_f]
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f] or [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] – this one is hard. I really like both, both being on my list of future possibilities for a girl.
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
[name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] – love!
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Blanche[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivica[/name_f]
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f]
[name_f]Velvet[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
[name_f]Esmerelda[/name_f]
I prefer [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] over [name_f]Winsome[/name_f]. I dislike [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] and hate [name_f]Winsome[/name_f] though.
I prefer [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] over [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] and [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], dislike [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] and would not use [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f].
I prefer [name_f]Blanche[/name_f] over [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]. I neither dislike nor like [name_f]Blanche[/name_f] but I dislike [name_f]Blythe[/name_f].
I prefer [name_f]Vera[/name_f] over [name_f]Verity[/name_f] and Verily. I neither dislike nor like [name_f]Vera[/name_f] and I dislike [name_f]Verity[/name_f] and hate Verily.
I dislike both [name_f]Viridis[/name_f] and [name_f]Vivica[/name_f].
I prefer Elixane over [name_f]Elowen[/name_f]. I dislike [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] but am not much fonder of Elixane.
I dislike both [name_f]Velvet[/name_f] and [name_f]Vienna[/name_f] as given names.
I prefer [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] over [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]. I like both names and it was a close call.
I prefer [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] over [name_f]Persephone[/name_f]. I neither like nor dislike both names but it was a close call.
I prefer [name_f]Emeraude[/name_f] over [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] and [name_f]Esperanza[/name_f]. I dislike [name_f]Esperanza[/name_f] and I would not use [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f].
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] or [name_f]Winsome[/name_f] - [name_f]Winsome[/name_f]! [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] is ugly and old. I love names like [name_u]Windsor[/name_u], [name_f]Winslet[/name_f] and [name_u]Winslow[/name_u], so even though I dont [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Winsome[/name_f], it definitely beats [name_f]Winifred[/name_f].
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] or [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] or [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] - [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f]! Although for a girl, the y would be replaced with an E (the proper Welsh way). The others again, are ugly.
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f] or [name_f]Blanche[/name_f] - neither, but if I had to, [name_f]Blanche[/name_f].
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] or Verily or [name_f]Vera[/name_f] - [name_f]Verity[/name_f]
[name_f]Viridis[/name_f] or [name_f]Vivica[/name_f] - none
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] or Elixane (pr: [name_f]Elle[/name_f]-ih-sha-na) - [name_f]Elowen[/name_f]! A gorgeous name. I’d say the other Elix-ann (like [name_u]Alex[/name_u] [name_f]Ann[/name_f], but with an E on [name_u]Alex[/name_u])
[name_f]Velvet[/name_f] or [name_f]Vienna[/name_f] - [name_f]Vienna[/name_f]
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f] or [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] - [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
[name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] or [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] - [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f], though I like [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] too
[name_f]Emeraude[/name_f] or [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] or [name_f]Esperanza[/name_f] - [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f]!
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f]–one of my favorites! Sound quirky but traditional at the same time.
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f] or [name_f]Blanche[/name_f]-- I love both of these, but I think [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] wins by a hair.
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Viridis[/name_f] or [name_f]Vivica[/name_f]–I don’t really like either.
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] or Elixane–I don’t really like either
[name_f]Vienna[/name_f]–I can’t imagine naming a child after fabric…
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] or [name_f]Persephone[/name_f]–neither, really
[name_f]Emeraude[/name_f] or [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] or [name_f]Esperanza[/name_f]–none of them are my style, but [name_f]Emeraude[/name_f] is the best, I guess
•[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] or [name_f]Winsome[/name_f] - [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] is probably my favourite Welsh name. [name_f]Winsome[/name_f] is better as a quirky mn choice rather than a fn.
•[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] or [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] or [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] but I love [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]. I think it’s quite lovely.
•[name_f]Blythe[/name_f] or [name_f]Blanche[/name_f] - [name_f]Blanche[/name_f] sounds great in [name_m]French[/name_m] but horrible in English. [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] wins!
•[name_f]Verity[/name_f] or Verily or [name_f]Vera[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Vera[/name_f] too but it doesn’t have the vibrant energy that [name_f]Verity[/name_f] has in spades.
•[name_f]Viridis[/name_f] or [name_f]Vivica[/name_f] - I’m glad to see that someone else likes the Latin [name_f]Viridis[/name_f].
•[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] or Elixane (pr: [name_f]Elle[/name_f]-ih-sha-na) - I love [name_f]Elowen[/name_f]. The name sounds like a Tolkien princess. It would probably be easier to pronounce as well.
•[name_f]Velvet[/name_f] or [name_f]Vienna[/name_f] - I don’t really like either option but I chose [name_f]Vienna[/name_f] because I think it’s more usable.
•[name_f]Delphine[/name_f] or [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] - this was a tough one because I love both names. In the end, the mysteriously chic [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] won over the spunky [name_f]Daphne[/name_f].
• [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] or [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] - I like the cool “X” factor even though it’s pronounced like a “Z”
• [name_f]Emeraude[/name_f] or [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] or [name_f]Esperanza[/name_f] - one of my favourite Spanish word names
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] or [name_f]Winsome[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] or [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] or [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f] or [name_f]Blanche[/name_f] (also know a 21 year old [name_f]Blanche[/name_f] who wears it well, in case you worry about ‘old lady’ comments)
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] or Verily or [name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Viridis[/name_f] or [name_f]Vivica[/name_f]
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] or Elixane
[name_f]Velvet[/name_f] or [name_f]Vienna[/name_f]
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f] or [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] or [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] (although I know a [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] and I’ve always loved her name)
[name_f]Emeraude[/name_f] or [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] or [name_f]Esperanza[/name_f]
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] or [name_f]Winsome[/name_f] - [name_f]Winsome[/name_f] is very cheesy to me.
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] or [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] or [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f] or [name_f]Blanche[/name_f]
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] or Verily or [name_f]Vera[/name_f] - Verily just seems like a random word, not a name.
[name_f]Viridis[/name_f] or [name_f]Vivica[/name_f] - [name_f]Viridis[/name_f] is interesting, could grow on me.
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] or Elixane (pr: [name_f]Elle[/name_f]-ih-sha-na)
[name_f]Velvet[/name_f] or [name_f]Vienna[/name_f]
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f] or [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] - Close one.
[name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] or [name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
[name_f]Emeraude[/name_f] or [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] or [name_f]Esperanza[/name_f]
[name_f]Winsome[/name_f] - I don’t like ‘fred’ in a girls name
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] - so romantic and unique
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_f]Verity[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivica[/name_f]
Elixane (pr: [name_f]Elle[/name_f]-ih-sha-na)
[name_f]Vienna[/name_f]
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
[name_f]Esperanza[/name_f]
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_f]Verity[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivica[/name_f]
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f]
[name_f]Vienna[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
[name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f]
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] - Definitely prefer [name_f]Winifred[/name_f]! [name_f]Winsome[/name_f] is nms at all.
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] or [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] - I alternate on which of these two is my favourite and today I just can’t decide!
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f] - [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] feels happy and light to me whereas [name_f]Blanche[/name_f] makes me think of flinching (“she visibly blanched at the memory”).
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] - Not a fan of Verily and [name_f]Vera[/name_f] is an ‘old lady’ name to me (I think [name_f]Vera[/name_f] Duckworth!).
[name_f]Vivica[/name_f] - Though I don’t really like either.
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] - [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] is so pretty! Elixane intrigues me but I’d stumble with the pronunciation.
[name_f]Vienna[/name_f] - I really don’t like [name_f]Velvet[/name_f] so I’d go with [name_f]Vienna[/name_f]. I prefer [name_f]Enna[/name_f] or [name_f]Violet[/name_f] though.
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f] - I adore [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]!
[name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] too but I just can’t imagine it irl.
[name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] - I’d personally keep it as a middle but I like the potential for nn [name_f]Esme[/name_f].
My pick from each set is in bold
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] or [name_f]Winsome[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] or [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] or [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
