Such a darling list! I think it could be sweet to incorporate your “need to be loved again” names as middles! [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], [name_f]Marianne[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f], [name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Joanna[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Sunny[/name_u], and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Amy[/name_f] are some examples.
Here’s my thoughts on your forevers:
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] – I know it is a vintage name, but it feels quite trendy at the moment. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing, just something I noticed. It feels quite summery, probably because it reminds me of lemonade.
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] – This is a really sweet, classic name. It feels homey in a [name_u]Southern[/name_u] charm kind of way. I think the nickname [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] is lovely as well.
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] – Oh, I really wish I could love [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], but something about it sounds stuck-up to me. However, I do think it goes really well with the rest of your list.
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] – The character in the Bible turns me off, but that may not be an issue for you. Aside from that, the sound is quite nice. I get free-spirited hippy vibes, probably because of “Hey There Delilah.”
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] – I truly feel like this is the perfect timeless name! [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is forever fresh and lovely! She is perfect both in general and on your list.
[name_f]Ella[/name_f] – such a sweet, beautiful name. I feel like [name_f]Ella[/name_f] gets overlooked on nameberry, but I much prefer it to [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and [name_f]Stella[/name_f]. It is simple yet elegant, and I really love the [name_f]Cinderella[/name_f] connection. I do personally know a ton of Ellas, but I wouldn’t let that turn you off it.
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] – this is such a classy and beautiful name! I love it used in full, but I’m personally not the biggest [name_f]Lily[/name_f] fan, and I would worry that a little [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] would always get “Lily.” Also, [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] and [name_f]Irene[/name_f] always sound like the perfect sisters to me!
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] – Oh, she is just the sweetest! I love the [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] connection, and just how fun and cheerful the name sounds!
[name_f]May[/name_f] – I chose [name_f]May[/name_f] over [name_f]Mae[/name_f] because I think it looks more complete, and also is how the month is spelled, which makes it seem like the “right” way. I adore the name [name_f]May[/name_f], and would use it in a heartbeat if it weren’t the nickname my family uses for me! It is vintage and yet still fresh and playful!
[name_f]Marianne[/name_f] – I love the [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Austen[/name_u] connection, and I think the name has a very homespun, cottagecore feeling to it! I also really enjoy [name_u]Marian[/name_u] as an alternative!
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] – I’ve known so many, so the name has lost most of its charm. Objectively speaking, I think it is a good Biblical name with a sweet sound to it.
Incorporating your new loves/likes:
[name_u]Perfect[/name_u] with your list – [name_u]Anne[/name_u], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Esther[/name_f], [name_f]Irene[/name_f], [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Mary[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f], [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
Good with your list – [name_u]Florence[/name_u], [name_f]Lucilla[/name_f], [name_f]Cecily[/name_f], [name_f]Ida[/name_f], [name_f]Miriam[/name_f]
Okay with your list – [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Frances[/name_f], [name_f]Rebekah[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
Perhaps too unusual – [name_f]Edie[/name_f], [name_f]Eudora[/name_f], [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f], [name_f]Willa[/name_f]
Perhaps too modern – [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]
