Though we still have quite awhile before our [name_u]December[/name_u] due date, DH and I are in the thick of name discussions because we expected it may take us awhile to settle on something. We definitely weren’t wrong. So far I’ve given DH a list of 100+ names that I even remotely like and he has vetoed all but a handful which he “doesn’t completely hate.” eye roll
My overall taste is pretty eclectic, so I’ve suggested names ranging from [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] to [name_u]Blair[/name_u], [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] to [name_u]Collins[/name_u], and [name_u]Memphis[/name_u] to [name_f]Lola[/name_f], trying to narrow down what his style is and what he likes, but haven’t had luck finding any rhyme or reason. With that in mind, I’m coming to y’all looking for any and all suggestions for names that give you a mental image of a fierce and intelligent little girl/young woman (thanks @tranquilstars for that description on another thread!). Ideally I’d like something less common and not overly traditional, but we’re open to considering pretty much anything at this point.
Lots of great suggestions already made - I just wanted to add that [name_f]Greer[/name_f] from your signature sounds like a wonderfully fierce and intelligent name to me!
I’m throwing some international in
[name_f]Etain[/name_f]
[name_m]Jove[/name_m]
[name_f]Marlene[/name_f]
[name_f]Zerlin[/name_f]
[name_f]Rhona[/name_f]
[name_u]Malin[/name_u]
You touched on several that were on our long list already ([name_f]Seraphine[/name_f], [name_f]Serena[/name_f], [name_u]Eden[/name_u], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Cosima[/name_f], [name_f]Luna[/name_f], [name_u]Sage[/name_u], [name_u]Wren[/name_u], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Athena[/name_f], [name_f]Greer[/name_f], and [name_f]Juno[/name_f]) and some others that we like but are unfortunately unusable for us ([name_f]Augusta[/name_f], [name_f]Bridget[/name_f], [name_f]Marin[/name_f]).
I’ll be adding the following to our list to discuss:
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
[name_f]Minerva[/name_f]
[name_u]Campbell[/name_u]

[name_f]Annabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Rowena[/name_f]
[name_u]Vesper[/name_u]
[name_u]Kelsey[/name_u] - from Cenel + eg - Cenel means fierce
[name_u]Clare[/name_u] or [name_f]Clara[/name_f] - means strong
[name_f]Ida[/name_f] - work, labor
[name_f]Iphigenia[/name_f] - strong born
[name_f]Millicent[/name_f] or [name_f]Melisent[/name_f] or [name_f]Melisende[/name_f] or Amalasuintha (original one) means strong work
[name_u]Dana[/name_u] means wise in Persian
[name_u]Sage[/name_u]
