[name_f]Chava[/name_f] is gorgeous, I think I’ve mentioned this to you before but I have such a soft spot for her. Now I’m picturing a little [name_f]Chava[/name_f] [name_f]Sunshine[/name_f], and how sweet is that!

A couple nature/earth/spring related names that have been on my mind lately are:

[name_f]Aviva[/name_f]- spring/life
[name_f]Beryl[/name_f]- pale green stone; crystal
[name_f]Gaia[/name_f]- earth
[name_f]Demeter[/name_f] “Demi”- earth mother
[name_f]Chloe[/name_f]- sprout; green shoot
[name_f]Petra[/name_f]- stone; boulder
[name_f]Colibrí[/name_f]- hummingbird
[name_f]Girasol[/name_f]- sunflower
[name_f]Carmen[/name_f]- garden’ orchard

I love your name list, they are so bold and beautiful with a whimsical touch. [name_f]Happy[/name_f] [name_f]Earth[/name_f] [name_f]Day[/name_f]!

[name_f]My[/name_f] [name_f]Chava[/name_f] combo changes back and forth from [name_f]Chava[/name_f] Shanthi to [name_f]Chava[/name_f] Shanthi [name_f]Sunshine[/name_f], but now there’s a solid third option :wink:

So beautiful omg, I adore all of these!! [name_f]Colibrí[/name_f] is new to me and I’m in love!!

[name_f]Colibri[/name_f] a favourite of mine out of my Spanish girl name collection, I’m glad you like her. She feels so bright and bouncy. [name_f]Girasol[/name_f] I find the imagery just beautiful- Girar in Spanish means “to turn” and sol means “sun”, so [name_f]Girasol[/name_f] literally means “the turning of the sun” or “sun-spin” which I think is so whimsical and lovely.

[name_f]Happy[/name_f] [name_f]Earth[/name_f] day! :yellow_heart: [name_f]Chava[/name_f], [name_f]Avani[/name_f] and Mayura are soooo lovely! And I’m loving the meanings of Shailaja and [name_f]Montserrat[/name_f], they’re very striking!

Višnja - ‘sour cherry’
Vukašin - ‘son of wolves’
Enikő - ‘fawn’
