So I’m currently trying to think of a name for my violin, and can’t think of anything amazing. Right now I’m thinking [name_f]Jane[/name_f], but I’m not 100% sure.
Some of the other names I’m thinking about are
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Missy[/name_f]
[name_f]Della[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]
[name_f]Joya[/name_f]
[name_f]Zadie[/name_f]
[name_f]Lyssa[/name_f]
Which ones do you think are fitting for a (girl) violin, and do you have any suggestions?
(And I know some people think that naming an instrument is weird, but instruments actually have character and personality, and after a while they can feel like an old friend. So that’s why I think it’s important for an instrument to have a name )
I don’t think it’s weird! I’ve named plants and [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] trees. I think [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] fits well. Some ideas I have are [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_f]Una[/name_f], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f] and [name_f]Esme[/name_f].
I named my violin when I played! Her name was [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f], my bow was [name_u]Archer[/name_u]/Atlas (or something along those lines), and my rosin was [name_f]Roslyn[/name_f]. So I totally feel you there
I like [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] and [name_f]Della[/name_f] for a violin, but I feel like the color makes a big difference
I immediately thought “[name_f]Viola[/name_f] the Violin” but that’s probably a bit too obvious! [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is very pretty and I believe will suit your violin nicely here are some other ideas…
Octavia (I second this one)
[name_f]Belle[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucille[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
I love the idea of naming your instrument! I wish I had my own piano so I could name her; maybe I should name my flute. I like [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Della[/name_f], [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f], maybe [name_f]Zadie[/name_f] best for a violin! What about [name_f]Eliane[/name_f], [name_f]Lilou[/name_f], [name_f]Viola[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_u]Vivien[/name_u], [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f], or [name_f]Zoe[/name_f]?
I feel like the sound of the violin really contributes to its character - is it high-pitched and sharp sounding? I imagine an upper-class, rich lady with a glass of wine type of name. Is it very smooth? Maybe something to do with nature. [name_u]Or[/name_u] it’s very resonant, then I would give it a name that feels very “whole” and “strong”.
I don’t know if that’s just me! But it’s what I base my names off of
I love [name_f]Zadie[/name_f] or [name_f]Jane[/name_f]! I also really like the suggestion of [name_f]Esme[/name_f]. All seem to fit your brief perfectly .
Does she feel like a ‘plain [name_f]Jane[/name_f]’ to you? I find the violin a beautiful instrument deserving of a name with depth and mystery myself? I think a Greek name could work. [name_f]Evanthe[/name_f], [name_f]Alodia[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
I like [name_f]Lyssa[/name_f], but its similar to [name_u]Lisa[/name_u] - which I also like, but it’s way dated
[name_f]Missy[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Melissa[/name_f], it’s acceptable answer to this name in my opinion. That said, [name_f]Missy[/name_f] might work as a name, just might not be worth the trouble
I also love [name_f]Della[/name_f] and [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f].
edit: it’s for instrument…I don’t know how I feel now.
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] is good! I would go with something like:
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Cosette[/name_f]
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f]

I like [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Della[/name_f], [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f], maybe [name_f]Zadie[/name_f] best for a violin!
