How is [name_f]Danica[/name_f] pronounced?
[name_m]Dan[/name_m]-e-ca
Or
[name_m]Dan[/name_m]-i-ca
This isn’t actually for a child I should say. I was looking for names to help me write.
Dan-Ick-Uh
Most of the suggestions I can think of have already been mentioned, but another thought is [name_f]Asterope[/name_f]! The name itself means lightning but it’s the name of one of the Pleiades and is thus very tied to the stars.
Danica means morning star (it’s the Slavic version of [name_f]Daniella[/name_f] which is also pretty)
- Astra (Greek)
- Astraea (Latinized Greek)
- Bituin (Tagalong)
- Csilla (Hungarian)
- Dzvezda (Macedonian)
- Estelle ([name_u]French[/name_u])
- Estrella (Spanish)
- Seren (Welsh)
The only ones I know of are [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Stella[/name_f].
I knew a girl named [name_f]Starly[/name_f]. I always thought it was sweet.
Stella is classic and gorgeous.
I love [name_f]Danica[/name_f] sooo much.
