Help! Anyone? Lemon?

Girl Names
1

My husband and I are expecting our second, a girl. Our son is named [name]Caspian[/name], and our last name is one syllable and rhymes with “no”. We both like unusual names, but not made-up names. Literary or mythology names are great, as are nature and geography names (no American cities though- that’s overdone). We’ve come up with several names, but none of them are perfect. I need some suggestions, please- my brain is turning to mush :slight_smile:

Good but not perfect:
[name]Odelia[/name]
[name]Guinevere[/name]
Tigerlily
[name]Octavia[/name]

I suggested, but husband vetoed:
Calumina
[name]Galilea[/name]/[name]Galatea[/name]
[name]Zinnia[/name]
[name]Aurelia[/name]
[name]Juniper[/name]

I love the name [name]Caspian[/name].

You’ve gotten a lot of great suggestions, but I want to suggest [name]Eulalie[/name]. It’s the name of a poem by [name]Edgar[/name] [name]Allan[/name] [name]Poe[/name].

6

I want to second the suggestions of others for [name]Xanthe[/name], [name]Rhiannon[/name], and [name]Isolde[/name]. They go great with your son’s name!

Also, since those names weren’t the perfect ones, what do you think of:

[name]Odelia[/name] - [name]Ophelia[/name]? [name]Fidelia[/name]?
[name]Guinevere[/name] - [name]Giovanna[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name]?
Tigerlily - sorry, this one is too out there for me.
[name]Octavia[/name] - [name]Antonia[/name]? I think someone else suggested this too.

What great lists/suggestions! I also wanted to add the name [name]Waverly[/name].

8

What about [name]Freya[/name]? She was a Norse goddess, and I find this name beautiful. :slight_smile:

9

We were actually going to name [name]Caspian[/name] “[name]Freya[/name]” if he was a girl! But somehow it doesn’t seem right this time…Maybe we’ll come around again to it.
