Can Goldie stand on its own?

We are loving the name [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] for our 3rd baby. We already have [name_f]Willa[/name_f] and [name_m]Judson[/name_m] who do not go by any other name. Should we name our girl “[name_f]Goldie[/name_f]” or “[name_f]Marigold[/name_f]” and call her “[name_f]Goldie[/name_f]”?? We like [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] too but would mainly be giving it to her so she has a more formal option later. Thoughts?!!!

I like the idea of using [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] so she has a formal option.
[name_f]Goldie[/name_f] is so cute and goes very well with the siblings names!

I adore [name_f]Willa[/name_f]! I think [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] is lovely so I would name her that and call her [name_f]Goldie[/name_f].

I like both [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] & [name_f]Goldie[/name_f], but I think my heart is leaning towards just [name_f]Goldie[/name_f]! I don’t love any [name_f]Mary[/name_f]- names, and [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] just doesn’t have the same lightness and shine that [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] has!!

I like both but I think [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] is better with [name_f]Willa[/name_f].

My vote is for [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]! It gives her more options for when she’s older

I agree that it’d be smart to have a more formal name to fall back on. I like [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] but with [name_f]Willa[/name_f] and [name_m]Judson[/name_m] I like [name_f]Margo[/name_f] nn [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] even more.

Personally, I find [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] to be a very playful and bohemian name - it doesn’t strike me as particularly more “formal” than [name_f]Goldie[/name_f]. It is more versatile and provides more options for different nicknames, but if you really want her to be called [name_f]Goldie[/name_f], I would just name her [name_f]Goldie[/name_f]. I do think just-[name_f]Goldie[/name_f] fits very nicely with your other kids’ names, too. [name_f]Willa[/name_f] and [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] sound like a sweet and spunky pair of sisters!

Personally I prefer [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] nn [name_f]Goldie[/name_f], but [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] definitely works on it’s own if that’s all she’s ever going to be called!

I love [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] with nickname [name_f]Goldie[/name_f], but I think I like [name_f]Willa[/name_f] and stand-alone [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] better as sisters.

I vote [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] as a full name! She sounds lovely with her siblings :slight_smile:

I love [name_f]Willa[/name_f] and especially [name_m]Judson[/name_m]!
I would say go with [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] just so when she grows up, she has something to fall back on if she thinks [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] is too immature. [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] could be a great stand alone name and goes very well with [name_f]Willa[/name_f] and [name_m]Judson[/name_m]!

[name_f]Goldie[/name_f] can definitely work on her own she sounds fashionable & works with the nickname trend that everyone loves! Also I think [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] sounds better on her own with [name_f]Willa[/name_f] & [name_m]Judson[/name_m].

I think it can work on its own ([name_f]Goldie[/name_f] Hawn is just [name_f]Goldie[/name_f], for instance) but I prefer it as a nickname. [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] “[name_f]Goldie[/name_f]” would be lovely.

I can see [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] as a standalone because of [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] Hawn.
