Hey guys! So although I am not expecting any time soon, I am obsessed with baby names and love discovering new names every day. I do find that it is more fun to work with baby girl names then it is for baby boys (only because I think that boys names tend to be a bit easier to find!) I love a lot of names, but I feel like I am always still searching for something new and haven’t found that ‘perfect’ name in a while. I would love for you guys to add to my list and suggest names that may be similar or something in the same taste? I love names that hold a lot of meaning, and I tend to love french names as well, though not all of my names are french! Here’s my list! Please criticize too I’d love to hear anothers opinions! These names are just some that I really love at the moment, and are in no particular order!
I like [name]Aveline[/name], [name]Audrey[/name], [name]Lillia[/name], [name]Eloise[/name], [name]Olivia[/name], [name]Emmeline[/name], [name]Emilia[/name], [name]Natalie[/name], [name]Seraphina[/name].
Bolded are the ones I love. I prefer [name]Lilia[/name] with one L though.
I’m not fond of Everleigh at all, or [name]Newlyn[/name], or [name]Harlow[/name].
Hallen is pretty intersting though.
[name]Edeline[/name] - First I thought [name]Adeline[/name] with an E, but then came [name]Ed[/name] and [name]Eddy[/name] associations and I wasn’t too fond anymore.
[name]Aveline[/name] - Pretty, but a bit out there for me.
[name]Audrey[/name] - Cute and not as popular as popular belief. I only know one, an eleven year old. [name]Audrey[/name] is very sweet and nice for a name.
Elowen - Too out there again.
Hallen - Reminds me of Halloween, or [name]Halle[/name] [name]Berry[/name].
[name]Harlow[/name] - Like the motorcycle.
[name]Newlyn[/name] - This sounds completely fake and made up. Sorry.
[name]Lillia[/name] -A favorite of mine, very delicate and pretty. Better than [name]Lillian[/name], [name]Lilith[/name], [name]Lila[/name], [name]Liliana[/name], all of 'em!
[name]Lucienne[/name] ([name]Lucy[/name]) - [name]Lucy[/name] is nice but popular, but [name]Lucienne[/name] sounds more like [name]Lucius[/name] Malfoy.
[name]Eloise[/name] ([name]Ellie[/name]) - [name]Eloise[/name] is my all time favorite name, so yay! I prefer nn [name]Lula[/name], but [name]Ellie[/name] is nice too. Nothing bad to say!
[name]Olivia[/name] - Awfully popular, but not trendy, so that’s good! I don’t think it will ever sound like a [name]Stephanie[/name] or [name]Debbie[/name].
[name]Emmeline[/name] - Very nice. I was in love with this a few years back. It sounds pretty and soft.
Everleigh - A guilty pleasure of mine, only spelled [name]Everly[/name]. It’s nice as a middle but too out there for a first. And rather trendy.
[name]Emilia[/name] - Another favorite. The E makes the name so much more beautiful and thoughtful. I would hope people make a slight distinguishing when pronouncing between [name]Amelia[/name].
[name]Carolina[/name] (care-o-lee-na) - Not a fan, sounds too southern trashy to me.
[name]Lea[/name] - Nice, but reminds me of [name]Lea[/name] [name]Michele[/name] a lot. It is cute though!
[name]Natalie[/name] - A slight bit dated. Maybe because I only know older people with the name.
[name]Seraphina[/name] - Too glitzy for me. Sounds like a barbie mermaid.
Wow you have so many different styled names! I apologize for my critiquing, not trying to hurt feelings. Maybe names you might like…
[name]Edeline[/name] - not a fan of, sounds made up.
[name]Aveline[/name] - again, I don’t really like this, doesn’t sound very feminine to me.
[name]Audrey[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] this name. Sounds very sophisticated and feminine to me.
Elowen - not my style. Sounds too out there.
Hallen - this sounds kind of harsh to me, not a fan of this
[name]Harlow[/name] - I like this name. It’s definitely trendy, but cute and kind of spunky I think.
[name]Newlyn[/name] - not a fan of, sounds harsh to me
[name]Lillia[/name] - too frilly. I like [name]Lillian[/name] or [name]Lily[/name] better
[name]Lucienne[/name] ([name]Lucy[/name]) - pretty, a little pretentious sounding, but it’s girly and I like the nn [name]Lucy[/name].
[name]Eloise[/name] ([name]Ellie[/name]) - pretty, elegant name. Like this name a lot.
[name]Olivia[/name] - used to love this name, but it’s soo popular right now.
[name]Emmeline[/name] - I don’t like this name. I prefer the classic [name]Emily[/name].
Everleigh - Again, prefer [name]Everly[/name]. This name is okay, but I always feel like I’m just saying half of a name, not a whole name.
[name]Emilia[/name] - It’s okay, but I think there will be some spelling and pronunciation confusion for a child with this name.
[name]Carolina[/name] (care-o-lee-na) - pronunciation issues - I see this name and think “care-o-line-na”
[name]Lea[/name] - this is okay, sweet, trendy name, though I prefer the [name]Leah[/name] spelling.
[name]Natalie[/name] - I really like this name, I think it’s over looked
[name]Seraphina[/name] - This name is okay. Cute, definitely trendy right now.
So my 5 favorites are: [name]Audrey[/name], [name]Harlow[/name], [name]Eloise[/name], [name]Lea[/name], and [name]Natalie[/name].
Other similar names: [name]Elodie[/name], [name]Hadley[/name], [name]Evangeline[/name], [name]Annabelle[/name], [name]Violet[/name], [name]Harper[/name], [name]Leighton[/name], [name]Serena[/name], [name]Scarlett[/name], and [name]Avery[/name].
I like [name]Audrey[/name], [name]Lillia[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], [name]Eloise[/name], [name]Olivia[/name], [name]Emmeline[/name], [name]Emilia[/name], [name]Carolina[/name], [name]Lea[/name], [name]Natalie[/name] and [name]Seraphina[/name]. The others are either nms or sound a bit too trendy/made up for me. Have you thought of [name]Geneva[/name], [name]Madeleine[/name] or [name]Madeline[/name], [name]Francesca[/name] and [name]Noelle[/name]?
I love [name]Carolina[/name]. [name]One[/name] of my best friends is named [name]Caroleena[/name] (spelling to discourage mispronounciation), and I’ve always adored it. I also like [name]Emmeline[/name], [name]Emilia[/name], and [name]Olivia[/name]. [name]How[/name] about [name]Marietta[/name], [name]Camille[/name], [name]Louise[/name], [name]Louisa[/name], [name]Marin[/name], or [name]Juliette[/name]?
Thank you guys so much for your feedback. Most of the names on the list are names that I really do love but would never really name my child. I love [name]Leighton[/name] and [name]Adelie[/name] and I think that [name]Story[/name] is actually really cool! [name]Evelina[/name] is so pretty too!! What do you guys think of the name [name]Rosalie[/name]? I love the name but wish it didn’t carry the Twilight connotation!!
I like [name]Lucia[/name] better than [name]Lucienne[/name], which is very close to the male version of the name. In fact, I prefer [name]Lucia[/name] to all the other names with [name]Lucy[/name] as nickname. My sister is a [name]Caroline[/name] who goes by [name]Lina[/name] so I like [name]Carolina[/name], but it does sound regional - somewhere south of [name]Virginia[/name] My other top name on your list would be [name]Eloise[/name], although I prefer the [name]Louisa[/name] version of the name with a [name]Lulu[/name] nickname. [name]Lois[/name] is not quite as pretty for me.
