Compiling list of names for potential baby girl :)

Girl Names
1

I just found out that I am pregnant and I am becoming obsessed with finding the perfect name…which I am sure most people are. We have already picked out a boy name–so now I am focusing some energy on having a girls name ready… here is my list. Please feel free to offer suggestions or name combos. Also, the baby will have a Spanish last name and I am open to Spanish names.

Thnx :slight_smile:

Names I adore:
[name]Luca[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Sofia[/name]
[name]Adelle[/name]
[name]Olive[/name] ([name]Olivia[/name])
[name]Cleo[/name]/[name]Clio[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name]/[name]Juliette[/name]
[name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Alijah[/name]
[name]Amelie[/name]
[name]Jada[/name]

[name]Luca[/name] - I can see where you’re going with this, but unfortunately, I don’t think [name]Luca[/name] works for a girl since it’s so clearly a boy’s name (others will disagree, but since your list on the whole tends toward feminine names, using a boy’s name would make it difficult if/when you have another girl down the line). I think [name]Lucia[/name] would be a much better option for you.

[name]Lucy[/name] - This is a wonderful name, though I prefer it as a nickname for [name]Lucille[/name], [name]Lucia[/name], or [name]Lucinda[/name] ([name]Lucia[/name] is probably my favorite of the three, especially with a Spanish last name).

[name]Sofia[/name] - This is beautiful, but you may be bothered by the overwhelming popularity.

[name]Adelle[/name]- I really like this, though I think I prefer it spelled [name]Adele[/name].

[name]Olivia[/name] - Like [name]Sophia[/name], a very beautiful name that is unfortunately ridiculously popular right now. Of course it depends on where you live and how much popularity bothers you. Where I live, I feel like every other child I meet is either [name]Olivia[/name] or [name]Sophia[/name] and it’s enough to deter me from using either name.

[name]Cleo[/name]/[name]Clio[/name] - This is not as soft as the other names on your list; to me, it’s just a little bit abrupt, as if it should be short for something. Not my favorite.

[name]Juliet[/name]/[name]Juliette[/name] - This is a wonderful name. I prefer the [name]Juliet[/name] spelling; I think if I were you I would strongly consider this as a middle name to buffer a softer sounding name upfront. I wonder if you also like [name]Julia[/name] or [name]Juliana[/name]? I think either would make a beautiful first name!

[name]Amelia[/name] - This is one of my favorites! You also might like [name]Cecilia[/name] or [name]Ophelia[/name], which are equally beautiful but take you out of the realm of names that sound like [name]Emily[/name] and are overly popular. [name]Amelia[/name] is different enough from [name]Emily[/name], though, that if you love it, you should definitely go for it.

[name]Alijah[/name] - I’m not sure if you mean this to be pronounced like [name]Aliyah[/name] or like the boy’s name [name]Elijah[/name]. If the former, I think it’s pretty, but it’s not my favorite in your list. If the latter, then I dislike how masculine it sounds, but you might like [name]Eliza[/name], which has a similar sound but is decidedly feminine.

[name]Amelie[/name] - pretty, but I prefer [name]Amelia[/name].

[name]Jada[/name] - this seems insubstantial next to some of your other choices.

Congratulations! :slight_smile:

[name]Luca[/name]- This name feels distinctly masculine to me even though it’s beginning to turn unisex. I also feel like it pales in comparison to your other names because they’re much more feminine. I if I heard a sibset of [name]Juliet[/name] and [name]Luca[/name], for example, I would assume that [name]Luca[/name] was a boy. I love the previous suggestion of [name]Lucia[/name].

[name]Lucy[/name]- [name]Lucy[/name] is darling! It’s one of my favorites on your list.

[name]Sofia[/name]- [name]Sofia[/name] is beautiful but very popular. It reminds me of [name]Seraphina[/name] or [name]Sophronia[/name], which can easily get the [name]Sophie[/name] nickname.

[name]Adelle[/name]- I prefer it spelled [name]Adele[/name]. [name]Adele[/name] is very pretty. It reminds me of [name]Adelaide[/name].

[name]Olive[/name] ([name]Olivia[/name])- I’ve never understood exactly why people like [name]Olive[/name]. I understand it’s unexpected quirkiness and it does have a certain degree of vintage going for it but I doubt I could take seriously a woman named [name]Olive[/name]. It’s a cute enough nickname for [name]Olivia[/name], though my personally favorite is [name]Liv[/name]. Unfortunately [name]Olivia[/name] is also very popular.

[name]Cleo[/name]/[name]Clio[/name]- [name]Cleo[/name] has always felt incomplete to me. I prefer [name]Chloe[/name], despite it’s popularity. I also like [name]Callista[/name] and [name]Calliope[/name], which reminds me of [name]Cleo[/name].

[name]Juliet[/name]/[name]Juliette[/name]- [name]Juliet[/name] is absolutely beautiful and one of my top names! It’s feminine but strong, has a spunky but gentle quality to it and flows well with many middle names!

[name]Amelia[/name]- [name]Amelia[/name] is very cute! It’s growing in popularity though…

[name]Alijah[/name]- I’m not a big fan of uniquely spelled names. [name]Elijah[/name] is wonderful for a boy but I’m not a big fan of it for a girl. What about [name]Alison[/name], [name]Alexandra[/name] or [name]Eliana[/name]?

[name]Amelie[/name]- Very pretty. I think I prefer [name]Amelia[/name] but [name]Amelie[/name] is sweeter and lighter.

[name]Jada[/name]- I prefer [name]Jada[/name] spelled [name]Giada[/name], which is the correct Italian way. It’s pretty but doesn’t really stand out for me.

My favorite is [name]Juliet[/name], followed by [name]Lucy[/name] and [name]Adele[/name].

What about:

[name]Elodie[/name]
[name]Bianca[/name]
[name]Norah[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name]
[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Georgia[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name]
[name]Maren[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name] nn [name]Miri[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Vivienne[/name]
[name]Cecile[/name]/[name]Cecily[/name]/[name]Cecelia[/name]/[name]Celia[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name] nn [name]Sophie[/name]/[name]Josie[/name]/[name]Jo[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Cordelia[/name]
[name]Lorelei[/name]
[name]Laura[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name]
[name]Claire[/name]

Good luck! :slight_smile:

[name]Luca[/name]: My son’s name, so definitely a boy’s name to me :slight_smile:
[name]Lucy[/name]: Really cute! I would use it as a nn but I think it can stand alone as well.
[name]Sofia[/name]: [name]Love[/name] [name]Sofia[/name], even though it’s quite popular.
[name]Adelle[/name]: Wonderful, underused name (prefer the [name]Adele[/name] spelling)
[name]Olive[/name] ([name]Olivia[/name]): I’m an adult [name]Olivia[/name], and while I’ve mostly loved my name throughout my life, even I’m growing tired of hearing it! [name]Olive[/name] is a great alternative. I think beautiful [name]Lydia[/name] has a very similar sound as well.
[name]Cleo[/name] / [name]Clio[/name]: [name]Lovely[/name]! A fresh alternative to [name]Chloe[/name].
[name]Juliet[/name]/[name]Juliette[/name]: [name]Love[/name] [name]Juliet[/name].
[name]Amelia[/name]: I prefer [name]Adelia[/name] but think [name]Amelia[/name] is great too.
[name]Alijah[/name]: Seems out of place on your list! Definitely like many of your other choices more.
[name]Amelie[/name]: Sweet little name”I’d pick this over [name]Amelia[/name] (but I’m a little obsessed w/ French names for girls at the moment!)
[name]Jada[/name]: Not my favorite from your list.

Thanks so much for the responses…the suggestions…and your opinions !

I love [name]Sofia[/name] and [name]Olivia[/name] nn [name]Olive[/name], but due to the popularity I am leaning away from them.

I do love [name]Adelle[/name]/ [name]Adele[/name] and it is a family name so it definitely high on my list.

Also, I [name]LOVE[/name] the name [name]Livia[/name] nn [name]Liv[/name]…but I talked it over and the other half doesn’t like anything with a V… :frowning: have to let it go … maybe I can change his mind … we have some time …

So far, [name]Juliet[/name]/[name]Juliette[/name], [name]Adelle[/name]/[name]Adele[/name], and [name]Lucy[/name] are the ones that we agree on…but I am still searching. There are so many amazing names out there!

My two personal favourites from your list are [name]Juliet[/name] and [name]Amelie[/name], they’re gorgeous! I also really like [name]Lucy[/name], [name]Adele[/name], [name]Clio[/name]/[name]Cleo[/name] and [name]Amelia[/name]. [name]Alia[/name] would be nice spelt this way (the proper I’m pretty sure…) and I also think [name]Lucia[/name] would be adorable!
