Feminine, fantasy-ish, baby girl name wanted!

Girl Names
1

Help us name our daughter.

Due in 3 months and we don’t have any names we love.

Come onnnnn internet!!! People of the web we need you now.

We want a made up name as any existing name has the chance of becoming popular, which is my greatest fear.

NO:
No short names. ie. 5 letters or less or 1 syllable.
No unisex sounding names.
No names from popular media; tv shows, movies.
No ‘bella’ anywhere in the name.
No names starting with K.

YES:
Names with cute nicknames are a plus.
Feminine and girly is A-Ok! ”
Soft, mellifluous sounds.

Thank you!

@klhnames
Thanks for the lovely name suggestions! We do like [name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f] and that strengthens our feelings towards it. [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] and [name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f] are cool too. Though [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u] we’ll probably use for a boy if we have one.

@alibelle4
Amarance, Celadine, Annevieve, and Eudolia we really like and give us more ideas. Thanks so much! That list was perfect and those super obscure names work just as well as made up ones. My name is super obscure and kinda fits on your list if you want to collect another one, [name_f]Marietta[/name_f]. Seems like it shouldn’t be that rare, but it is and I’ve gotten compliments my whole life.

Here’s the list we previously made up if you guys want any of these names:

[name_f]Sidonie[/name_f]
Kirscha
[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]
[name_f]Allegra[/name_f]
Lunaria
[name_f]Saphyra[/name_f]
[name_f]Capucine[/name_f]
Saori

Holliaria
Holliaura
Hollielle
Holliaedra
Amarylissa
Amaryliesse
Amaryllora
Lunaliesse
Alayliesse
Alaycielle
Minielle
Minaria
Minaliesse
Minaedra
Minischa
Minaphine
Minaycia
Ciraedra
Circielle
Peraphine/perephine
Allecine
Allecina

I am not good at making up names, but you like some of @klhnames’ list which had plenty of actual names, so going off of that…
First, I second the suggestions of [name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f], [name_f]Arwen[/name_f], [name_f]Cressida[/name_f], [name_f]Demelza[/name_f], [name_f]Eowyn[/name_f], [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f], [name_f]Zipporah[/name_f], and [name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f]. I would second [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], but she is growing in popularity and won’t seem as obscure.

Here’s my list:
Aglaia
[name_f]Amidala[/name_f] (I think this Italian gem deserves more love, even if it is very tied to [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars.)
[name_f]Athena[/name_f]
Brittola
[name_u]Calypso[/name_u]
Catania
[name_f]Consuela[/name_f]
[name_f]Eponine[/name_f]
[name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f]
Galadriel
[name_f]Giovanna[/name_f]
Luthien
Megara
[name_f]Oceana[/name_f]/[name_f]Oceania[/name_f]
[name_f]Octavia[/name_f]
[name_f]Olympia[/name_f]
Romilia
[name_f]Saskia[/name_f]
[name_f]Titania[/name_f]
[name_f]Yesenia[/name_f]
[name_f]Zarina[/name_f]

What about Gweniviere, or [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f]? Those sound fantasy-ish to me.

@cabsathe
I probably would like those, but as a kid my daycare lady’s name was [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] and she was terrifying!

Congratulations!! I only really have two names that may work for you. These are [name_f]Summerine[/name_f] and [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]. [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] is super pretty and feminine, but it is in the movie “Bridesmaids”. [name_f]Summerine[/name_f] is really pretty too! [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps and good luck! :slight_smile:

My youngest daughter is called [name_f]Pollyanna[/name_f]. It’s a lovely rare name, you’re welcome to steal it. I am also a huge secret fan of Vanellope (as in from Wreck it [name_m]Ralph[/name_m]). Such a cool name.

[name_f]Nuala[/name_f] (noo-la), short for [name_f]Fionnuala[/name_f], is a Irish name that I love that I don’t see getting at all popular.
