Finally got a list! Any comment please?

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there,

We are expecting a baby in [name_u]August[/name_u]! I’ve been browsing here for a while and then finally put up a list of names for girls. In general, I prefer original, strong and distinctive names. [name_m]Just[/name_m] wondering what others’ impression of them and any comments will be helpful!

[name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Clover[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]

[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f]

[name_f]Sybil[/name_f]
[name_f]Tess[/name_f]
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]

[name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]

[name_f]Freya[/name_f]
[name_f]Tess[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_f]Clover[/name_f]

[name_m]Just[/name_m] ok:
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Sybil[/name_f]

I also like all your middle name choices, I like the idea of something fun and unexpected in the middle. [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_u]Story[/name_u] would be very pretty!

[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]-this is very pretty, but it was a character in a latin Textbook i had in school, so i can only associate it with that. I like the name though.

[name_f]Celeste[/name_f]-this is pretty, but not my style.

[name_f]Clover[/name_f]-this seems like more of a rabbits name. Im not a fan of word names

[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]-whenever i say this name, it sounds like im saying [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] with a stuffed nose.

[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]-this is adorable, I absolutely love this name

[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]-this is cute, but not my favorite

[name_f]Flora[/name_f]-this is really cute, I love this. Its very girly.

[name_f]Freya[/name_f]-i had a friend named freya growing up, I love this name.

[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]-nms, but an ok name

[name_f]Sybil[/name_f]-not a fan, sounds like civil

[name_f]Tess[/name_f]-it seems unfinished to me, like it should be [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]

[name_f]Thea[/name_f]-i live [name_f]Thea[/name_f] it is so cute. I also like [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] nn [name_f]Thea[/name_f].

[name_f]Willa[/name_f]-this is cute

As for middle names, they are nms, but i think [name_f]Dawn[/name_f], [name_u]Story[/name_u], [name_u]Fable[/name_u], and [name_u]Poet[/name_u] could be cute in some combos. Especially [name_f]Dawn[/name_f].
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Dawn[/name_f], [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Dawn[/name_f], [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Dawn[/name_f], [name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Dawn[/name_f], [name_f]Thea[/name_f] [name_f]Dawn[/name_f].

adore/love:
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]

like:
[name_f]Tess[/name_f]
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]

neutral:
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Sybil[/name_f]

I would add [name_f]Clover[/name_f] to the middle name list.

[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Moon[/name_f]! I also like [name_f]Freya[/name_f], [name_f]Clover[/name_f] and [name_f]Flora[/name_f]…

You’re taste in names… absolutely beautiful! I honestly love them all, so I’ll rank from my fave to least:

[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_f]Clover[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Tess[/name_f]
[name_f]Sybil[/name_f]

[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Moon[/name_f] is a great combo, and I also love [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Moon[/name_f].

[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]- reminds me of aerola every time I see it.

[name_f]Celeste[/name_f]- so pretty, classic & underused!

[name_f]Clover[/name_f]- no

[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]- ehhh, kind of try-hard

[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]- like it. It’s a solid name.

[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]- the more is see it around, the more it grows on me. Nice nickname possibilities.

[name_f]Flora[/name_f]- I can’t decide what I was think. It’s either sweet & cute or antiquated & dull.

[name_f]Greta[/name_f]- ok. [name_f]Freya[/name_f] keeps defaulting to [name_f]Greta[/name_f]. Not an great sign.

[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]- another one that the more I hear it the more I like it.

[name_f]Sybil[/name_f]- no

[name_f]Tess[/name_f]- I like it. It’s sophisticated but not snobby

[name_f]Thea[/name_f]- would everyone think she’s saying [name_u]Theo[/name_u]?

[name_f]Willa[/name_f]- the more I see it, the less I like it.

[name_f]Willa[/name_f] is my favorite from your list

I love [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Celeste[/name_f], and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f].

I love [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]! I also like [name_f]Willa[/name_f].

I really like most of your names but [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_f]Tess[/name_f], and [name_f]Willa[/name_f] are my favorites. I think of your middle name choices I would only ever use [name_u]Fable[/name_u], [name_f]Dawn[/name_f], and [name_u]Poet[/name_u] with [name_u]Poet[/name_u] being my favorite. I do love the imagery of [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Dawn[/name_f] and [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_u]Poet[/name_u] sounds gorgeous to me. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps :slight_smile:

Thanks for all your response so far!

I agree that maybe [name_m]Colver[/name_m] and [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] can be moved to the mn list, I think [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] flows very well!

For [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] and Evangline, they are on my list but hb made a point that if we name our baby a name that long, ppl will only go by her nn, which to him, should be given according to her personality and only used by close family and friends. I kind of agree with that concept, but just cannot get rid of them from my list cause they are so beautiful!

For the rest, my fav are [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and [name_f]Freya[/name_f].
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] is a little to frilly? I’m not sure about flower names.
And I agree [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] is better than [name_f]Thea[/name_f], and I do prefer [name_u]Theo[/name_u] to [name_f]Thea[/name_f], so maybe keep it for our next son?
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] is just a safe choice I guess.
I like the vintage and rareness of [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] and [name_f]Tess[/name_f], they have the similar feel but less popular than [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] to me.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Especially love [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], and [name_f]Tess[/name_f]. They go great with all of your middles!

I just have to say that I love most all of your names! [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_f]Thea[/name_f], [name_f]Willa[/name_f], [name_f]Tess[/name_f], [name_f]Freya[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], & [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] are absolutely amazing!

I’m not too crazy about [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] and [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] (and I’m a little weary of [name_f]Clover[/name_f], but that’s from a personal experience).

Your middle names are awesome, and I think would pair really well with any of your firsts.

I do feel that [name_f]Tess[/name_f] seems a bit odd compared to the rest of your names, mostly because it is single syllable whereas the rest of your first names have at least two. [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] or [name_f]Teresa[/name_f] would work, but if you like just [name_f]Tess[/name_f] the best (and most people have the phylosophy of “name 'em what you’re gonna call 'em”) then a multy syllable middle name might work best with it.

I hope all goes well :slight_smile:

I adore [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Dawn[/name_f]! So prefect! But I notice some say that [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] is too mouthful, and I do concern about the difference pronunciation issue.

Thank you! I’ve considered [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]. As you might have noticed that most of my fav names end in a lol. But some how [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] just remind me too much of [name_u]Texas[/name_u]…maybe just me…And [name_f]Tess[/name_f] has a more calm and elegant feel to it.

I love [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Flora[/name_f], and [name_f]Tess[/name_f].
I kind of like [name_f]Clover[/name_f], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], [name_f]Freya[/name_f], and [name_f]Thea[/name_f].

With the middle examples you give, my favorite combinations are [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_u]Story[/name_u] and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Moon[/name_f].

I love [name_f]Sybil[/name_f], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], and [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] - all of them are on my list! I love the allusion to these powerful women from the ancient world with [name_f]Sybil[/name_f]/[name_f]Sibyl[/name_f], the [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m] connection with [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], and the elegant soft sound and celestial meaning of [name_f]Celeste[/name_f]. [name_f]Tess[/name_f] is also one of my favorite names for its spunkiness, but I named my spunky dog [name_f]Tess[/name_f], so that’s off the table for me now. :slight_smile:

[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], and [name_f]Willa[/name_f] would go in my second tier. I love [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] but it’s so long and I worry it sounds too much like “evangelist,” so I’d probably put it in the middle.

The only ones I actually don’t like are [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], which is overly frilly and fussy to me, and [name_f]Thea[/name_f] and [name_f]Freya[/name_f], which are so harsh sounding and thudding to me (even though I have a lovely cousin [name_f]Thea[/name_f]).

[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Moon[/name_f] would be just divine! Although all your names are lovely, [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] stand out the most to me.
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Tess[/name_f], [name_f]Thea[/name_f] and [name_f]Willa[/name_f] are lovely as nicknames, but I prefer a more formal name for each (but that’s just my two cents). [name_f]May[/name_f] I also suggest: [name_f]Coralie[/name_f], [name_f]Evaline[/name_f] (ev-uh-leen), [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f], [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] (nickname [name_f]Lola[/name_f] or [name_f]Nola[/name_f]).

I like:
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f]
[name_f]Tess[/name_f]
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]
