DREAM GIRLS: Have I found them all?

[name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f], [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f], [name_f]Forsythia[/name_f], [name_f]Mariposa[/name_f] and [name_f]Parthenia[/name_f] are the ideals on my “dream girls” list for their four-syllable count and fast-and-forceful sounds.

To me, they’re quirky-clunky and ugly-cute.

[name_f]Love[/name_f], love, love them – they make my heart sing :)!

My question is this: Have I missed any “sister” names that may or may not be included in Nameberry’s database?

Names that follow your all of your criteria:
[name_f]Olympia[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicitas[/name_f]
[name_f]Floriana[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Esperanza[/name_f]
[name_f]Pollyanna[/name_f]

Names that are feminine forms you may like:
[name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f]
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f]
[name_f]Bernardetta[/name_f]
[name_f]Octavia[/name_f]

Names that aren’t four syllables but you may like them:
[name_f]Ekaterina[/name_f]

From your list I love [name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f] and [name_f]Forsythia[/name_f]!
Good [name_m]Luck[/name_m]!

Would any of these meet your criteria. All are quite lovely!

[name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
[name_f]Tatiana[/name_f]
[name_f]Svetlana[/name_f]

[name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] and [name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f], [name_f]Jacinda[/name_f]/[name_f]Jacinta[/name_f] came to mind, and I always put [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] in the clunky/elegant category.

Love Forsythia and Mariposa. I second the suggestion of Lavinia and Persephone - love both of these.

[name_f]Sophronia[/name_f]
[name_f]Clemencia[/name_f]
[name_f]Kalliope[/name_f]
[name_f]Euphemia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ignatzia[/name_f]
[name_f]Fortunata[/name_f]

[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_f]Parthenia[/name_f] and [name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f]. And [name_f]Felicitas[/name_f].

Great suggestions!

[name_f]Felicitas[/name_f] is my favorite :).

[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] and [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] are on my list; [name_f]Calliope[/name_f], [name_f]Esperanza[/name_f], [name_f]Euphemia[/name_f], [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f], [name_f]Sophronia[/name_f] and [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] were all contenders.

{My list: Nameberry - Welcome to the Nameberry Forums}

Any non-Nameberry links I should investigate?

  • ~ * {bump} * ~ *

Most names I can think of are on Nameberry, but they’re so unusual/unconventional, you mightn’t have heard them before :slight_smile:

[name_f]Meliora[/name_f]
[name_f]Eglantine[/name_f]
[name_f]Zipporah[/name_f]
[name_f]Ambrosia[/name_f]
[name_f]Herminia[/name_f]
[name_f]Alexandrine[/name_f]
[name_f]Clorinda[/name_f]

Also, I found that [name_f]Elea[/name_f] off of British [name_u]Baby[/name_u] Names has some wonderful ones that aren’t listed on NB in her finds from the 1800’s!

Brittania
Lorindia
Tryphena
Adamanta
Belisent ( Name of the Week - British Baby Names )
Belphoebe
Clarimond ( Name of the Week - British Baby Names )
Ismeria/Ismerie (Name of the Week - British Baby Names )
Axelia
Emmaretta

[name_f]Isadora[/name_f]
[name_f]Euphemia[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelphia[/name_f]
[name_f]Thomasina[/name_f]
[name_f]Barbarella[/name_f]
[name_f]Rafaela[/name_f]
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f]
Hrefna
Primrosa
[name_f]Sylviana[/name_f]

I think the majority are listed on Nameberry, and a few a bit frilly but it’s hard to find long names that aren’t.

[name_f]Augusta[/name_f]
[name_f]Araminta[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f]
[name_f]Eudora[/name_f]
[name_f]Gertrude[/name_f]
[name_f]Honoria[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaux[/name_f]
[name_f]Pandora[/name_f]
[name_f]Amarantha[/name_f]/[name_f]Amaranta[/name_f]

[name_f]Persephone[/name_f] and [name_f]Hermione[/name_f], I’d say fit in that description. [name_f]Amadora[/name_f], maybe? [name_f]Benjamina[/name_f]; [name_f]Cenobia[/name_f]. :smiley: [name_f]Cinderella[/name_f].

More great suggestions – thank you all!

[name_f]Herminia[/name_f] is my favorite :).

I really like Clarimond and I don’t understand why it’s not in the nameberry database. That would be my suggestion.

@Sorceress - Agreed :).
