Full name for "Goldie"

Only girl to 3 brothers. Brothers all go by middle names. I love the name [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] (for our blue eyed blondie), but it doesn’t feel formal enough to transition to adulthood. Please suggest full names for “Goldie”.

Thanks in advance for help!

my favorite is marigold! you could also use aurelia, which means golden.

Second both [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] and [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f].

Other names with gold-ish meanings:
[name_f]Orlaith[/name_f]
[name_f]Xanthe[/name_f]
[name_f]Flavia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ophira[/name_f]
[name_f]Melora[/name_f]

And [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] could be short for [name_f]Golda[/name_f], which feels more substantive

Besides the ones already mentioned… heres a few more… some safe, some a little more out there…

Magola
Magdalen
Margolette
Goldarine
Galatea
Galadriel
Magali
Margalit
Margalo
Galina
Galilee
Galilea

I feel like some of these would work better with a ‘d’ middle like Margalo Diana or Galilee Dinah

[name_f]Geraldine[/name_f]
[name_f]Gilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Gunhild[/name_f]
[name_f]Gentildonna[/name_f]
[name_f]Giselda[/name_f]

I do think [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] is your best bet! There’s also [name_u]Golden[/name_u], which I actually quite like.

By sound:

[name_f]Marigold[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] (or variants like [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], Margarita)
[name_f]Golda[/name_f]

By meaning:

[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] / [name_f]Aura[/name_f]
[name_f]Orla[/name_f] / [name_f]Orlaith[/name_f]

Could you do [formal first name] [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] and call her [name_f]Goldie[/name_f]? So she had the option of a formal name if she wants it, and [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] for home/friends. Like [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Goldie[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Goldie[/name_f], [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Goldie[/name_f], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] etc?

Otherwise…
[name_f]Cressida[/name_f] (meaning gold)
Gwendolen/Gwendolyn/Gwendoline ‘Goldie’ (Gwendolen)

I was thinking about this yesterday! [name_f]My[/name_f] favourite is [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], which means [name_m]Gold[/name_m]. I also like [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] and [name_f]Eldora[/name_f] which also mean gold. If you want a direct connection then I think [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] or [name_f]Golda[/name_f] are cute options. :blush:

Any Au- name could be nn “Goldie,” due to the chemical symbol signifying gold on the periodic table. Bonus pounts if you’re in some kind of science field or just plain nerdy!
