Feminine Surnames

violet_skye · September 1, 2021, 3:58pm

Any feminine surnames that sound useable and pretty? [name_f]My[/name_f] last option is to select from a surname list and use it as a first since no name has really stuck for me yet.

Names considered but ultimately vetoed:

[name_u]Harper[/name_u] - a bit dated now and too trendy
[name_u]Sterling[/name_u] - not feminine enough
[name_u]Collins[/name_u] - cute but not quite “it”
[name_u]Walker[/name_u] - partner doesn’t like it
[name_m]Hartford[/name_m]- I love this one personally, but partner doesn’t like it

…I’m running out of ideas here. Anyone have any lovely suggestions?

And I was thinking you meant Georgsdottir!

Scandinavian names used to either use son or daughter, “sen” or “dottir”. So a feminine last name would be like Georgsdottir – George’s daughter.

[name_f]Darling[/name_f]. I saw this surname on my family’s genealogy and came up with [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Darling[/name_f] a few years ago… I don’t think I’ll ever use it, but I have a secret love for it. I actually had my husband on board but I’m still not brave enough to name my daughter “Darling.”

hollyplai · September 1, 2021, 8:57pm

Also is [name_m]Stirling[/name_m] maybe more feminine than [name_u]Sterling[/name_u]?
