Girl name ideas based on my shortest shortlist of boy names

Girl Baby Names
#1

I recently scrapped my UC and I’m excited for a bit of a blank slate.

My top three boy names are Grover, Peregrine, and Vesper. I go back and forth between them and they each have different imageries and meanings to me. I tried to make this the “shortest shortlist,” but I couldn’t quite contain myself so the two combos I’m liking right now are [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] [name_u]Eliot[/name_u] [name_u]River[/name_u] & [name_m]Hershel[/name_m] [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] [name_u]Clove[/name_u].

I would love to see if you have any ideas for girl names based on this list. I’ve done something a little similar before and every time I’m feeling uninspired, I open up the thread and remember so many wonderful names. I’d appreciate any thoughts you have, whether it’s “x would be a good sister name for y,” or “if you like [name_m]Grover[/name_m] you might like [name_f]Clover[/name_f]…”
Whatever it is, I’m all ears.

Thank you for your thoughts :yellow_heart:

@Greyblue I really like how these names are so bubbly and fresh with such solid sounds. Especially [name_u]Pascale[/name_u], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Iva[/name_f], [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_f]Hester[/name_f], [name_f]Celine[/name_f], [name_f]Astraea[/name_f], [name_f]Millicent[/name_f], and [name_f]Estella[/name_f]!

@VivienaLunelle123 Thank you - I have/had [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] on my boy list but it does make such a cool girl name. Also [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], [name_u]Valor[/name_u], [name_u]Honor[/name_u](a), [name_f]Luella[/name_f], [name_f]Anemone[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_f]Acadia[/name_f], [name_f]Faye[/name_f], and [name_f]Mellie[/name_f] are sounding so nice today.

@silver_linings I feel like such a [name_u]Berry[/name_u] saying that I love [name_u]Wren[/name_u], but… [name_u]Wren[/name_u]🥰 I’m a big fan of all the names you suggested - just darling
