I find it funny to see some of those names - you know, some not-so-charming names - worn by drop-dead-gorgeous women, and it sometimes changes the way I see the name itself. I’ll highlight my favourite ones. I hope you share your opinions about your favourites/least favourites as well!

ps: I’m sorry for the long list!

[name_f]Irina[/name_f] really stands out to me. And [name_f]Sigrid[/name_f] sounds lovely.

lovemysweeties · April 21, 2014, 5:34pm

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are -

[name_f]Anna[/name_f]-[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] (although I would prefer [name_f]Anna[/name_f] or [name_f]Anna[/name_f]-[name_f]Louise[/name_f])
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Marine[/name_f] (this is growing on me)
[name_f]Tess[/name_f] (although I prefer [name_f]Tessa[/name_f])
[name_f]Edie[/name_f]

I’m not surprised by all the Irinas, haha. From this list, I like:

[name_f]Leona[/name_f]
[name_f]Ophelie[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonina[/name_f] (just made a thread on this the other day! I like [name_f]Antonella[/name_f] more, but I still really like [name_f]Antonina[/name_f]!)
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]-[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] (I’ve been really crushing on these [name_m]French[/name_m] double barrels like [name_f]Anne[/name_f]-[name_f]Sophie[/name_f], [name_f]Anne[/name_f]-[name_f]Claire[/name_f], etc., lately–as well as more Latinate ones like [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Ana[/name_f] [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], [name_f]Ana[/name_f] [name_f]Sofia[/name_f], [name_f]Ana[/name_f] [name_f]Carolina[/name_f], etc., and [name_f]Anna[/name_f]-[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] fits right in!)
[name_f]Evelina[/name_f]
[name_f]Marine[/name_f] (I feel like it would never work in [name_u]America[/name_u], but I love the idea of meeting a [name_m]French[/name_m] girl someday named [name_f]Marine[/name_f]. It’s so lovely!)
[name_f]Mina[/name_f]
[name_f]Malgosia[/name_f] (although I like Malgorzata much more!)
[name_f]Aline[/name_f] (although I prefer [name_f]Eline[/name_f])
[name_f]Anais[/name_f]
[name_f]Magdalena[/name_f]
[name_f]Tess[/name_f]
[name_f]Saskia[/name_f]
[name_f]Edita[/name_f] (I’m guessing it’s some international form of [name_f]Edith[/name_f]? I like the English [name_f]Edith[/name_f], the [name_m]French[/name_m] [name_f]Edith[/name_f] (with the accent over the “E”–it’s impossible to get accents with this laptop, urgh!), and the Polish [name_f]Edyta[/name_f], but [name_f]Edita[/name_f] intrigues me!)
[name_f]Zuzanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Hanne[/name_f] (Not sure about [name_f]Hanne[/name_f] [name_u]Gaby[/name_u], but I love just [name_f]Hanne[/name_f]!)
[name_f]Saskia[/name_f]
[name_f]Nadya[/name_f]/[name_f]Nastya[/name_f] (I prefer the [name_f]Nadia[/name_f] and [name_f]Nastia[/name_f] spellings, but I love them both!)

I rather like [name_f]Tatiana[/name_f], as well.

And Zlata really intrigues me! Then again, it looks very Polish, and I love Polish names, and I love Z names…

And I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_u]Auguste[/name_u], but only for a boy. I’m finding it really hard to picture [name_u]Auguste[/name_u] on a girl, but maybe it’s because my best friend (who was [name_m]French[/name_m]) was going to name one of her sons [name_u]Auguste[/name_u], so it seems really masculine to me. Hmm.

@jtucker: I really like [name_f]Irina[/name_f]! It makes me think of russian ballerinas. =)

@lovemysweeties: [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] is gorgeous. [name_f]Anne[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] would be fine, but not as striking, [name_f]IMO[/name_f]. And [name_f]Marine[/name_f] is gorgeous, but I can’t decide if I like [name_f]Marina[/name_f] or [name_f]Marine[/name_f] best.

@ashthedreamer: I love double-barreled names, but I’m biased, as my own name is the latinate [name_f]Ana[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] - a variation of [name_f]Ana[/name_f] [name_f]Carolina[/name_f], [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] being pronounced the portuguese way - as can be heard here: Pronúncia de Caroline: Como pronunciar Caroline em Inglês, Francês, Português, Sueco, Alemão =)

I also love [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]! I got it from the german model [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] Ewers - a true beauty, and her name is just as beautiful and striking. If my brother had been a girl, he would be [name_f]Ana[/name_f] [name_f]Luiza[/name_f]. I really like [name_f]Ana[/name_f] [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] as well.

And I really love [name_f]Antonina[/name_f] nicknamed [name_f]Nina[/name_f]! But in [name_u]Brazil[/name_u], I’d better stick with [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] haha. The same with [name_f]Zuzanna[/name_f] - the Z just makes it way cooler.

As for [name_f]Edita[/name_f] and [name_u]Auguste[/name_u], they are the names of the lithuanian models [name_f]Edita[/name_f] Vilkeviciute and [name_u]Auguste[/name_u] Abeliunaite, so I guess they are lithuanian variations. I like [name_f]Edita[/name_f], and since [name_u]Auguste[/name_u] Abeliunaite is such a gorgeous girl, I started to like [name_u]Auguste[/name_u] as a nickname for [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] - a name I love -, in the way [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is a nickname for [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], [name_u]Georgie[/name_u] for [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], and etc.

[name_f]Aline[/name_f] is a very common name in [name_u]Brazil[/name_u], [name_f]Eline[/name_f] is more unusual, bot it would be seem as a kre8tive alternate spelling here. The [name_f]Aline[/name_f] that inspired the name to be on this list is the veteran brazilian model [name_f]Aline[/name_f] [name_m]Weber[/name_m].

Zlata is the name of the gorgeous Zlata Mangafic. She’s from Bosnia, but I assume it is somewhat a common name in the Eastern Europe - lots of Zlatas from [name_f]Russia[/name_f], Ukraine, etc appeared when I googled her.

Thanks for answering everyone! =)
