Finding something we love is hard (suggestions, please!)

[sweetcalifornia]

We’ve been throwing around some names and have a list of things we (I) like, but haven’t found “the one” yet.

If you wouldn’t mind taking a look at the list below and giving your suggestions of ‘categories’ I could explore more or names you think we might like I would really appreciate it! (Our last name starts with R and ends with O)

[name_f]Olive[/name_f] ([name_f]Liv[/name_f], [name_u]Ollie[/name_u]) - Current favorite for both of us
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Rosie[/name_f])
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] ([name_u]Penny[/name_u], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f]) - We won’t pick this but I still love it
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] - This doesn’t really fit with our last name but I think it’s so pretty
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] ([name_u]Charlie[/name_u], [name_f]Char[/name_f]) - DH is a fan, he really likes [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] as a nickname
[name_f]Estelle[/name_f] ([name_f]Elle[/name_f], [name_f]Stella[/name_f], [name_f]Estie[/name_f]) - I like this one (mostly for the nicknames)
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] ([name_f]Nellie[/name_f], [name_f]Elle[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f]) - DH says [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is too traditional
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] ([name_u]Ruby[/name_u]) - Saw this on here and I absolutely loved it but [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] is off the table for us

THANK YOU in advance!

[name_f]Welcome[/name_f] to Nameberry, @sweetcalifornia

I’d describe your style as “contemporary vintage” (if that even makes sense, ha!) The names you’ve chosen have an old-fashioned charm, but feel like cool, current choices now. Well-liked or up-and-coming, but not too popular.

Here’s a link to Nameberry’s main Vintage Girl Names list. There’s also the [name_u]Unique[/name_u] Vintage Girl Names list, but most of these are probably still a bit too dusty for you!

Names that spring to mind for me when I see your list are…
