These are two names that have been sitting on our maybe list of names. He loves [name_f]Cosima[/name_f], I like it but worry about the [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] [name_m]Wagner[/name_m] association and I really love [name_f]Anouk[/name_f] (and [name_f]Annika[/name_f] and [name_f]Anais[/name_f]) but though he has said he doesn’t hate it, he’s not yet in love. [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f] is a name he loves as well and though I like it a lot more than I expected myself to, I’m thinking that maybe it’s too grand? It’s hard to picture on anyone because it’s just so rare…
I know a little [name_f]Zinovia[/name_f], so i dont think [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f] is too grand. Its a very kickass name imo, and you can call her [name_f]Bee[/name_f], [name_u]Zen[/name_u], [name_f]Nia[/name_f], [name_f]Noa[/name_f] etc when she is little, if you think [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f] is too grand.
My fave is by far [name_f]Anais[/name_f]. I love this name, and how chic it sounds. Iam not a fan of [name_f]Cosima[/name_f], but its a perfectly wearable name, and i wouldnt worry about the association.
[name_f]Cosima[/name_f] is one of my very favorite names - we are using it as a middle (I would totally use it as a first if my husband agreed to it!) I think it is very beautiful. I actually associate the name with an awesome character from the BBC show Orphan [name_m]Black[/name_m]. She’s super intelligent and a bad ass! A strong name 
[name_f]Cosima[/name_f] and [name_f]Anouk[/name_f] are my favorite names.
Thank you for the feedback! It’s good to know that there are other associations with [name_f]Cosima[/name_f]. I will have to watch Orphan [name_m]Black[/name_m] now! Also, [name_f]Bellerose[/name_f], thanks for chipping in. [name_f]Anais[/name_f] [name_m]Nin[/name_m] was my inspiration for the name [name_f]Anais[/name_f] to begin with and I see you’re also an admirer. Cool. I don’t know that many [name_m]IRL[/name_m].
@brenae, [name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] that you’re considering for your baby is absolute perfection. Super beautiful, unique and at the same time classy. [name_m]Will[/name_m] really standout beautifully throughout her life.
Thank you so much! Your comment made my day We’re really excited about the name. I hope you find yours soon, too! <3
I love all of these! [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f] and [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] are probably my favorites, I think they are strong and beautiful and bad a$$ and I love the nickname potential.
I’m a big fan of [name_f]Anais[/name_f] [name_m]Nin[/name_m], but I find that lot of people get confused by the pronunciation of [name_f]Anais[/name_f], otherwise it would be on my own list. However, it’s a great name and if the thought of correcting people doesn’t irk you, then that’s a non-issue! I am very picky.
I like [name_f]Anouk[/name_f] too. It’s not my favorite of the group but I think it works really well among them.
I would really weigh whether or not the [name_m]Wagner[/name_m] association will bother you. I know why it would, but it definitely is not the first thing I think of when I hear [name_f]Cosima[/name_f]. I think if you tried, you could probably find a relatively famous person of questionable morals with any name (think of [name_f]Anais[/name_f]!) Unless it’s really overwhelming to you, I wouldn’t worry about it.
[name_f]Zenobia[/name_f] is such an amazing name! I would choose that of your four.
[name_f]Cosima[/name_f] is fine, as are [name_f]Anais[/name_f] and [name_f]Anouk[/name_f], but [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f] in my opinion blows them out of the water.
[name_u]Leslie[/name_u]
Thanks @yellowplums and @lesliemarion for your insight. [name_u]Leslie[/name_u], I feel a bit more inclined to use [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f]!
I really like all the names. [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] is my personal favorite, and I associate it with the Orphan [name_m]Black[/name_m] character as well.
I’ve never really thought about [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f] before but I think it sounds really cool. I actually did a Google search for [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f] + LinkedIn to put some real faces to the name, and I must say, there are some beautiful women around the world named [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f] so your daughter would be in good company.
[name_f]Anais[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] it. [name_m]How[/name_m] about using [name_f]Anouk[/name_f] as a nn for [name_f]Anais[/name_f]?
[name_f]Cosima[/name_f] - 2nd fave. Fresh choice
[name_f]Zenobia[/name_f] - I’m not a fan. Does seem like too much
I love [name_f]Anouk[/name_f], [name_f]Anais[/name_f] and [name_f]Cosima[/name_f]. Fave is [name_f]Anouk[/name_f] which I’ll be using myself one day if I get the chance!
[name_f]Zenobia[/name_f] is cool but a bit too wacky for me. I’m not sure if I’d like to be a quiet kid or awkward teenager called [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f]. It’s fab as a quirky middle name though.
