Also, if you have any more name suggestions inspired by the list above, please feel free to list them
Thanx
These are my current top contenders…i.e. I’m leaning towards the names: [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Godiva[/name_f], [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_u]Rain[/name_u], [name_f]India[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], Seabrooke…
I don’t know if you know this but [name_f]Godiva[/name_f] is a chocolate company and I just couldn’t see a baby being named [name_f]Godiva[/name_f]. I love [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Eve[/name_f], and [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. That would be an interesting sibset.
I’m voting [name_f]India[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. Team [name_f]India[/name_f]! I’m also really into [name_f]Luna[/name_f] lately (which is funny, because I used to loathe it) and I’m surprised by how much I like Seabrooke.
I wouldn’t use [name_f]Godiva[/name_f], Utopia, Persimmon or [name_u]Rain[/name_u].
[name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_u]Rain[/name_u], and [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] are the only names I could take seriously on a grown woman.
A couple of your [name_m]Favorite[/name_m] names are mine also, so maybe I’ll share a few more of my favourites! These first three I’ve made up (as far as I know…)
I love [name_f]Violet[/name_f], like [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Rain[/name_f], [name_f]Luna[/name_f], and [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f], and I wouldn’t use [name_f]Godiva[/name_f], [name_f]Persimmon[/name_f], [name_f]Alaska[/name_f], [name_f]Utopia[/name_f] and Seabrook.
My choice would be [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] (possibly [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] because of the combo [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]) but of your favourites something is drawing me to Seabrooke. I think it’s the imagery that I like, plus it’s quite a weird mix of extremely hippy and perfectly orthodox which your list as a whole seems to be. I’d love to meet a little Seabrooke. My second choice would be [name_f]Violet[/name_f].
Could you use [name_f]Godiva[/name_f] nn [name_f]Eve[/name_f]? I usually hate using full names as nicknames for other full names ([name_f]Olivia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] for instance… bleeuh) but I think this works. I don’t love [name_f]Godiva[/name_f] but I’m starting to see the appeal.
Ferelith, Merrivale, [name_f]Demelza[/name_f] and Persimmon strike me as slightly too Game of Thrones, although they all have quite a nice sound to them. Your list has certainly grown on me, but one I still find utterly ridiculous is Utopia. [name_f]India[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], without trying to create yet another [name_f]India[/name_f] argument, isn’t my thing because of the cultural appropriation (plus I know so many girls called [name_f]India[/name_f] in the UK, usually with dull parents trying to make some pseudo-bohemian statement, and with [name_f]Rose[/name_f] being such a filler name… I wouldn’t)
[name_u]Rain[/name_u], [name_f]Luna[/name_f] and [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] are all right. I don’t like or dislike any of them. I’m coming round to [name_f]Alaska[/name_f], for it’s imagery anyway.
Some I would suggest - Mayfair, [name_f]Atalanta[/name_f], [name_f]Ursula[/name_f], [name_f]Saffron[/name_f], [name_f]Holiday[/name_f], [name_u]Jersey[/name_u]?
My absolute favorite from your list is [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. I also like [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f], [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Luna[/name_f], and [name_f]Alaska[/name_f].
Persimmon and Merrivale are also interesting but I probably wouldn’t use them as first names.
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]* - So pretty! It’s becoming more popular though, and most of these names are super unpopular.
[name_f]Godiva[/name_f] * - Like the chocolate company?
[name_f]India[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] * - It’s pretty, but I’m not a fan of double barrelled names.
[name_f]Demelza[/name_f] - Sounds a bit evil. Demons. It also reminds me of a word that I’m not comfortable writing on here
Persimmon - All I see is Pokemon and [name_m]Simon[/name_m]. [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Persephone[/name_f]?
[name_f]Alaska[/name_f] - [name_f]LOVE[/name_f]! This name is true perfections!
Utopia - It’s a lot to live up to, [name_f]IMO[/name_f].
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f] - [name_f]Love[/name_f], but as long as you’re ok with the [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] association.
[name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] - Sounds (honestly and I know it’s not) like a boy’s name because of the [name_m]Beau[/name_m] part. [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]?
[name_u]Rain[/name_u] * - Ok, I prefer the [name_f]Raine[/name_f]/[name_f]Rayne[/name_f] spelling -a little girlier and a little less object that represents sadness
[name_f]Eve[/name_f] * - This is pretty! Are you sure it’s unique enough though? (same as [name_f]Violet[/name_f])
[name_f]Luna[/name_f] - Pretty, but not my personal fave. Idk why, there’s just something I dislike about luna.
Seabrooke * - too wordy.
Ferelith - [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_u]Meredith[/name_u]?
Merrivale - Sweet, reminds me of a medieval fair though.
I wouldn’t use [name_f]Godiva[/name_f] or Utopia under any circumstances. I love [name_f]Eve[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (not a fan of [name_f]India[/name_f]) and while Seabrooke conveys a nice image, I can’t see it on a person. I’d go with [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], or [name_u]Rain[/name_u].
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] : Although nms its a lovely name .

My favorites are : [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] , [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] , [name_f]Eve[/name_f] & [name_u]Rain[/name_u] .
I love [name_f]India[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]! and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] too one thing to think about: will any of these names get your baby teased? [name_f]Godiva[/name_f] reminds me of chocolate, so you mind wanna reconsider that. I honestly [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] [name_f]India[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] tho!
Thanx for everyone’s feedback & preference vote It’s really interesting to read all your responses. I also enjoy knowing why some people prefer one name over another or find a name objectionable. Cheers xx :)!!
PS And many thanx for the new name suggestions too !!
I think one of the reasons I can’t like Persimmon, despite loving the fruit and the smell of spices and wintry air that it evokes, is the “purse” sound, like pursing your lips together. But I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] [name_f]Cinnamon[/name_f], which has a similar feel/sound.
I think your true love was [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] in the beginning so I’m going to vote [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] [name_u]Rain[/name_u] or [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f].
