Help! Can't decide on THE name

Thank you! It wouldn’t be strange to call a Fall child a [name_f]Spring[/name_f] name right? I agree with you on the [name_f]Spring[/name_f] feeling, but since she has been with me throughout [name_f]Spring[/name_f] and [name_f]Summer[/name_f] I kind of feel like it’s ok.

Difficult difficult difficult. I would say for me right now the choice is between [name_f]Lola[/name_f] and [name_f]Flora[/name_f] as well. Both have more body to them then [name_f]Nena[/name_f], both are incredibly old names and both have gorgeous meanings. We both lost grandparents in the past year and ‘Lola - lady of sorrows’ seems to be a fitting tribute to them.

Ooooh I like [name_f]Fia[/name_f]! That used to be on my list, but I’m pretty sure my partner didn’t like it. I’ll have to revisit that. Thanks for the suggestion :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I think it’s absolutely okay! And some of the prettiest flowers are wonderful in the Fall - bringing in those warm and vibrant fall colors, right along with the autumn leaves: chrysanthemums, lantanas, fuchsias, sunflowers! So [name_f]Flora[/name_f] can equally represent the gorgeous colors of Fall, as well as you getting to know her in the [name_f]Spring[/name_f] and [name_f]Summer[/name_f] before she was born. [name_f]Flora[/name_f] is really perfection!

Possibly it’s because of [name_f]Lola[/name_f] Rabbit from the Looney Toons? I don’t know if people are aware of Looney Toons in the Netherlands, but she is definitely sexy.

I love the name [name_f]Flora[/name_f]. I wasn’t aware that [name_f]Flora[/name_f] was a fertility goddess, but that makes me like it even more! I think this is what I would personally choose, but I also really love [name_f]Nena[/name_f] for you. In my opinion both names fit your criteria of happy, energetic, etc.

I also wanted to say as someone going through infertility treatments I totally get the feeling of it being too easy to choose the name you’ve always liked. We’ve had a girl name picked this whole time and I wonder if we’ll actually end up using it if we have a girl!

From your list I like [name_f]Flora[/name_f]. I wanted [name_f]Gloria[/name_f] for this baby but it doesn’t go with our surname :frowning:. I wanted something spunky and celebratory :star_struck:

I love Flora!! Maybe Floramaria could be used as a full name with the nickname [name_f]Flora[/name_f]? I feel like Floramaria is a more wild child name.

I think the other reason people may perceive it as ‘sexy’ is because of Nabokov’s Lolita…

[name_f]Lula[/name_f]
[name_u]Delaney[/name_u]
[name_u]Florian[/name_u]
[name_f]Jorja[/name_f]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f]
Louise/Lou
[name_f]Ella[/name_f]
[name_f]Emma[/name_f]

Stella sounds like a better fit for her then! :wink:

But my favorite for you is Nena - it’s sweet and sounds like the one!

You have a lovely list! [name_f]My[/name_f] very favorite is Flora–it’s one of my favorite names in general :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: I just find it so happy, fresh, and spring-like, with lovely imagery and good vibes in general. I really like all of the names on your list, though, and could say similar things about each of them. It sounds like [name_f]Lola[/name_f] has your heart, but you have a lot of hesitations about it. Would you consider Lena/Lina as a sort of mix between [name_f]Lola[/name_f] and [name_f]Nena[/name_f]?

I think [name_f]Flora[/name_f] is the best choice.

I like all of your choices! Alternatively I would like to suggest:

[name_f]Flora[/name_f] > [name_f]Elora[/name_f] (slightly more lively)

[name_f]Stella[/name_f] > [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] (more chic)

[name_f]Lola[/name_f] > [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] (with the nickname Lola!)

The fact that these are all E names is purely coincidental. Good luck with your decision :slight_smile:

[name_f]Lola[/name_f] is very sweet and cute, but as far as professional goes, It doesn’t age too well. Sorry.

With that being said, I’d go with [name_f]Nena[/name_f] or [name_f]Flora[/name_f]. [name_f]Flora[/name_f] is absolutely gorgeous, mature, and classy.

Thank you! Hmm we haven’t considered [name_f]Lena[/name_f] or [name_f]Lina[/name_f] actually. [name_f]Lena[/name_f] is cute! But somehow it feels a bit less fresh than [name_f]Lola[/name_f] or [name_f]Nena[/name_f]. Maybe because we already know quite a few Lena’s.
