H names that have a princess feel?

My husband is starting to lean away from naming our daughter [name_f]Helena[/name_f] which I am set on but he’s trying to through a wrench in the plan. :crazy_face:

The name must start with H.

What other H names do you feel are girly and maybe princess like. I didn’t really see anything. He loves [name_f]Holly[/name_f] and I’m not into it.

Thanks!! :heartpulse:

[name_f]Honora[/name_f] was the first name I thought of. Always sounds regal to me.

Also, perhaps…
Hadriana
[name_u]Harmony[/name_u]
[name_f]Helaine[/name_f]
[name_f]Heidi[/name_f]
[name_f]Hestia[/name_f]
[name_f]Hilaria[/name_f]
[name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f]

[name_u]Harper[/name_u]
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f]
[name_u]Haven[/name_u]
[name_f]Holiday[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
Hadeya
[name_f]Halina[/name_f]

Some of these might be over the top, but it can’t hurt to mention them. :slight_smile:
Hannalise
[name_f]Hannelore[/name_f]
[name_f]Harmonia[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
[name_f]Helisent[/name_f]
[name_f]Heloisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Heloise[/name_f]
Hemera
[name_f]Hera[/name_f]
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f]
Hespera
[name_f]Honora[/name_f]
[name_f]Honoria[/name_f]

Already mentioned but [name_f]Heloise[/name_f], [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] and [name_f]Honora[/name_f] seem princessy but usable to me. I also really like [name_f]Hester[/name_f].

I do love [name_f]Helena[/name_f] though - hope he comes round!!

Oh I love [name_f]Helena[/name_f]! [name_f]Honora[/name_f] was my first thought, but [name_f]Helena[/name_f] is better.

What about…
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f]
[name_u]Hillary[/name_u]
[name_f]Hope[/name_f]
[name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f]
[name_f]Helen[/name_f]
[name_f]Halina[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
[name_f]Harrietta[/name_f]

I think [name_f]Holly[/name_f] is nice, but [name_f]Helena[/name_f] is better. And [name_f]Holly[/name_f] doesn’t feel like a princess name.

You’re right, there doesn’t seem to be an abundance of princess-y H names… Several names from Greek mythology that you might consider (like [name_f]Helena[/name_f] - [name_f]Helen[/name_f]), and a few other sources:
[name_f]Helia[/name_f] - feminine form of [name_m]Helios[/name_m], meaning ‘sun’. [name_f]Helia[/name_f] was a daughter of the sun god [name_m]Helios[/name_m] in Greek myth. It’s also used as a Portuguese name, spelled Hélia
Hellenore - a character in [name_u]Spenser[/name_u]'s The Faerie Queene
Heliabel - sister of [name_m]Perceval[/name_m], one of [name_m]King[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]'s Knights of the Round Table. Another name in Arthurian legend is Helizabel
[name_f]Halia[/name_f] - means ‘briny’, a sea nymph who was reincarnated as the goddess Leucothea
[name_f]Hara[/name_f] - modern Greek spelling of [name_f]Chara[/name_f], meaning ‘joy, happiness’
Hariclea
Heliodora - ‘sun-gift’, a rare Spanish and Portuguese name (so the H is actually silent)
Helianthe - or Heliantha, meaning ‘sun-flower’
Héliette - [name_m]French[/name_m] name, also spelled Hélyette
Hanalei - Hawaiian name
Harpa - Icelandic name
Hillevi - Swedish and Finnish name
Heidelore - [name_m]German[/name_m] name, ‘high-da-loh-ra’
Heikedine - another [name_m]German[/name_m] name, ‘high-ka-dee-na’
Homaira - Persian name, also spelled Homeyra
Helladia
Hilaeira - from the Greek word ἱλάει”α = ‘mildly shining’, an epithet of the moon goddess [name_f]Selene[/name_f], also latinized as Hilaera
Hesperia
Helvia
Heleia
[name_f]Hypatia[/name_f]
Hereswith
Hesione
[name_f]Hosanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Hyacintha[/name_f]

[name_f]Hermione[/name_f] comes to mind!

A lot of good suggestions… and I do like [name_f]Honora[/name_f] but I think my husband is going to have to fight me because [name_f]Helena[/name_f] is so perfect!

[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] was the first one that came to mind for me. But maybe she’s more of a Disney [name_f]Princess[/name_f] than a strong, feisty, empowering [name_f]Princess[/name_f] like [name_f]Helena[/name_f].

Some other H names (I’m not sure they’ll fit your vibe but worth mentioning them anyway)…

[name_f]Harlow[/name_f]
[name_u]Haven[/name_u]
Heulwen
Hafwen

[name_f]Holliday[/name_f] nn [name_f]Holly[/name_f]?
[name_f]Hermia[/name_f]
[name_f]Hayley[/name_f]

[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] & [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] come to mind.

Also [name_f]Hailey[/name_f] and [name_f]Hannah[/name_f]. I think these are the prettiest of the H names. [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Hailey[/name_f], [name_u]Hadley[/name_u], [name_f]Hannah[/name_f].
Im not a big fan of [name_f]Holly[/name_f] either. Good luck! [name_m]Will[/name_m] be curious to see what H name you end ujp liking :slight_smile:

[name_f]Hannah[/name_f] is the least princess like, but its such a beautiful cute timeless name.

[name_f]Hildegard[/name_f] or [name_f]Hilda[/name_f]? Nn [name_f]Hildy[/name_f] or [name_m]Hil[/name_m]?

I would suggest [name_f]Hadassah[/name_f], the name of a Biblical queen.

I second [name_f]Hadassah[/name_f],
Other names
I like with H
[name_f]Heidi[/name_f]
[name_f]Helga[/name_f]
[name_f]Heloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f]

[name_m]Just[/name_m] curious is there a family reason for H?

I don’t have anything to add other than I love [name_f]Helena[/name_f]… don’t give up!

[name_f]Helena[/name_f] is beautiful! What about [name_f]Hallie[/name_f] as a nickname for [name_f]Helena[/name_f] or on it’s own?

Ok so why am H name…

For our first daughter my husband named her his favorite name: [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Honor[/name_f], for our second daughter I named her my favorite name [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] (my maiden name) so we accidentally went in alphabetical order AND they both had H middle names… it was a total fluke! But, once we were having our third daughter we couldn’t help but give her a G name so we went with [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f]. Now that we are having our fourth daughter we feel
compelled to stay with our accidental theme. Sooooo we need an HH name… this is definitely our last child.

I feel [name_f]Helena[/name_f] is the best possible choice. Hubby isn’t so sure. But I’d love the sib set.

[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Honor[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Hollis[/name_u]
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_u]Harmony[/name_u] (if I get my way)

Sisters :two_hearts: :revolving_hearts:

I love those names! That’s a great sib set.
