[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all! My SO and I are currently struggling to agree with names. It’s hard being a berry with a partner who doesn’t seem to be interested in names AT ALL. He either vetoes a name immediately because he thinks it sounds horrible (his words), or he says “it’s not bad.”
Currently we’ve agreed on [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] “[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]”, [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] “[name_f]Effy[/name_f]”, and [name_f]Florence[/name_f].
Some favourites of mine that have been vetoed: [name_f]Antigone[/name_f], [name_f]Hermione[/name_f], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], [name_f]Drusilla[/name_f], [name_f]Orla[/name_f], [name_f]Araminta[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]/[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Octavia[/name_f], [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f], and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f].
He has approved [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], and [name_f]Astrid[/name_f], but they’re just not “right” for me.
I quite like [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and [name_f]Florence[/name_f]. A few other ideas:
[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] nn [name_u]Rory[/name_u] or [name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lia[/name_f] or [name_u]Rory[/name_u]
[name_f]Augusta[/name_f] nn [name_u]Gussie[/name_u] or [name_u]Gus[/name_u]
[name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] nn [name_u]Casey[/name_u]
[name_f]Miranda[/name_f] nn [name_f]Miri[/name_f]
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Millie[/name_f] or [name_f]Lia[/name_f]
[name_f]Venetia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Nettie[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] nn [name_f]Aria[/name_f] or [name_u]Ari[/name_u] or [name_f]Nia[/name_f]
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] nn [name_f]Dottie[/name_f]
[name_f]Isadora[/name_f] nn [name_f]Sadie[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Isolde[/name_f] nn [name_u]Isa[/name_u] or [name_u]Izzy[/name_u]
[name_f]Lucretia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lula[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] nn [name_f]Gia[/name_f] or [name_f]Ginny[/name_f]
[name_f]Sybil[/name_f]
[name_f]Apollonia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Polly[/name_f]
[name_f]Claudia[/name_f]
Of your agreed list, I like [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and [name_f]Florence[/name_f]. [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] is too wacky for me! [name_f]Olive[/name_f] is stunning, it’s going to be my baby daughter’s name when she is born next week!
Thank you all for the suggestions! I’ll put them forwards to SO when he returns home from work today. We’ve agreed to consider [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] more strongly for the time being.
I’ll offer some suggestions
Sorry for any repeats!
What about:
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f]
[name_f]Blyth[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Eseld[/name_f]
[name_f]Jasmine[/name_f]
[name_u]Darcy[/name_u]
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f]
Good luck!
You have a great list! Your SO may have vetoed some stunning names but he’s agreed to some stunning names too. I like all 3 but if I had to rate them I’d go [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] (my 5 year olds name…I highly recommend it), [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and [name_f]Florence[/name_f].
Good luck finding the perfect name you’ve had some great suggestions.
