Girliest name with the prettiest meaning?

Okay berries, Im THRILLED my 20 year old little sister is pregnant with her first baby! Our babies will be a year apart,so exciting! Her bump just looks like a girl bump, so we are all dreaming pink and purple :slight_smile: They already have two names set in stone (so she says) Im hoping all of you fabulous berries can help her with some other ideas. Her name choices are [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (she says [name_f]Bella[/name_f] means beautiful so she will be their beautiful rose. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is also her middle name) and [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] (meaning wisdom and grace). [name_m]Both[/name_m] names are beautiful,but PAINFULLY popular. What are some beautiful, super girly princess names with pretty meanings that will knock [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] and [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] off their baby name thrones?? Also,if you had to choose,which would it be? Thoughts on [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] and [name_f]Sofia[/name_f]?

Why not passing [name_f]Rose[/name_f] up front? My favourite (and my first thought) is [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]. Meaning pretty rose. But of course it’s only if you don’t use [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] first (I notice in your signature).

[name_f]Ayelet[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_f]Violetta[/name_f]
[name_f]Callista[/name_f]
[name_f]Catalina[/name_f]
[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f]
[name_f]Selena[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiammetta[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f]

There’s a reason why [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] and [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] are so popular, they’re incredibly beautiful names. They’re esthetically pleasing and lovely to say out loud. I prefer [name_f]Sofia[/name_f], it’s always been on my list, but I love [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] too.

She could do Rosabel [name_f]Grace[/name_f] or Rosabel [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] instead? Rosabel is very beautiful, rarer and literally means beautiful rose. Or Rosabella.

[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] are gorgeous. [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] and [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] are my top 2 girl’s names. There is a big reason why these names are so popular. I love the meaning behind their choices. They have two wonderful choices. I could not decided between the two. Hopefully some day they will be able to use both names.

Although [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is one of my favourite names, I really dislike [name_f]Isabella[/name_f].

[name_f]Sofia[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is a very beautiful combo (though as you say, painfully popular!)

What does your sister think of…

[name_f]Alexandria[/name_f]
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]
[name_f]Amabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleonora[/name_f]
[name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangelique[/name_f]
[name_f]Isadora[/name_f]
[name_f]Mirabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Natalia[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalina[/name_f]
Serephina
[name_f]Valentina[/name_f]
[name_f]Xanthia[/name_f]

And what about [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosaline[/name_f] in place of [name_f]Rose[/name_f]?
[name_f]Amity[/name_f], [name_f]Faith[/name_f] or [name_f]Hope[/name_f] in place of [name_f]Grace[/name_f]?

I like the idea of [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]. Beautiful name with history and you still get the same meaning.
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] and [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] are beautiful names, obviously many parents agree. I personally don’t care about popularity, but I’m in the minority here on NB. I do, however, think that if you’re going to use a hugely popular first name, you should try to use a middle name that isn’t as “filler”. I think [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Grace[/name_f] are delightful, but hugely overdone in the middle spot.

What do you think of [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] or [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] or [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]?

Beautiful suggestions! I should say she dislikes obscure names. She loves her name ([name_f]Victoria[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]) because it is elegant and beautiful and she has only met two other [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]'s in her life. I think she is going for the same qualities in her daughters name. Something elegant and heard of,but not necessarily popular :slight_smile: She also likes [name_f]Alaina[/name_f] but babies father dislikes it because it reminds him of a former girlfriend.

[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] (resurrection)
[name_f]Angelina[/name_f] (angelic)
[name_f]Arianna[/name_f] (most holy)
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] (the golden one)
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] (dawn)
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] (work)
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] (bearer of good news)
Fiametta (little fiery one)
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] (beloved child)
[name_f]Mirabella[/name_f] (wonderful)
[name_f]Primrose[/name_f] (first rose)
[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] (ardent; fiery)
[name_f]Tatiana[/name_f]
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f] (victorious)
[name_f]Violetta[/name_f] (violet)

I would choose [name_f]Sofia[/name_f], simply because I dislike the nn [name_f]Bella[/name_f].

[name_f]Theodora[/name_f]- Means gift of god or divine gift. [name_f]Dora[/name_f] as a nick name means gift. [name_f]Thea[/name_f] as a nick name means divine or goddess. [name_f]Divine[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] or [name_f]Divine[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] as a nice meaning similar to [name_f]Bella[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], or [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]. Is a beautiful name.

[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f]- [name_m]Just[/name_m] about as pretty as you can get. Meaning a type of angel the association is beautiful to. [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] or [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] would be beautiful.

[name_f]Arabella[/name_f]- Another way to get a [name_f]Bella[/name_f]. [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] is a graceful name that would go well with either of her favorite middle names.

[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]- Meaning gazelle. It has an elegant sound and meaning. Taby as a nickname is a adorable as well.

Good luck. [name_m]Both[/name_m] [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] and [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] are beautiful names, and might be worth bestowing even if she might have a few in her class.

Good luck and congratulations for your sister. :slight_smile:

I think classic [name_f]Princess[/name_f] names will be wonderful for your sister to consider, I think a little girl would love to be named after a famous princess from a story so that she can read about her and enjoy her name that way.
