We love [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] for a boy. Having a hard time getting the same “I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] IT!” feeling from a girl name this time around.
Any suggestions?
What about [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] do you like? Are there certain qualities you are looking for?

I THINK what I like is that it’s enchanting, mythological but also strong and usable. I prefer names outside the top 100+ but my husband likes names that seem familiar or more “normal.” Somehow, [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] bridges the gap.
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Atlas[/name_m]! From your sig, love [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] and [name_f]Zelda[/name_f]… similar zippy feel.
For a girl, what about:
[name_u]Arden[/name_u]
[name_u]Bay[/name_u]
[name_f]Calista[/name_f]
[name_u]Dove[/name_u]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u]
[name_u]Fable[/name_u]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilac[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f]
[name_f]Marin[/name_f]
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] is such a great name!
Question, is [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] too out there for you? Is it the spunk of [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] you find appealing or it’s ties to antiquity?
Some other ideas:
[name_u]Echo[/name_u]

Who says you can’t use [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] for a girl?
The name [name_u]Adley[/name_u] is similar sounding.
A lot of people, apparently! LOL. I actually did a search and there was a thread on nameberry with someone wanting to use [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] for a girl. Everyone hated it!
A few more thoughts on classical names:
[name_f]Priscilla[/name_f]
[name_f]Portia[/name_f]
[name_f]Pauline[/name_f] or [name_f]Paulina[/name_f]
[name_f]Calpurnia[/name_f]
Helen
Althea
I was going to suggest [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] but I saw your daughter’s name is agatha and I’m not sure they fit, then I read the rest of your siggy Lol! I really love [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]! Maybe [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] or [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]?
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_u]Fable[/name_u]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
What about something like [name_f]Maxine[/name_f] then? That one might be established enough that your partner won’t be opposed.
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] really is a great name!
I really like all the girl names in your signature… I think [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] really has the same feel.
What about:
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Clover[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]

Based on what you said: “I THINK what I like is that it’s enchanting, mythological but also strong and usable. I prefer names outside the top 100+ but my husband likes names that seem familiar or more “normal.” Somehow, [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] bridges the gap.” Here are some ideas for you:

Well, nobody would prevent you, and it’s trendy now for girls to have boys names - but would you name your son [name_f]Anna[/name_f] or [name_f]Anya[/name_f] or [name_u]Allie[/name_u]? If you wouldn’t, wouldn’t that make you a hypocrite?
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]
