Help to choose a nature or girly name, that doesn't sound like a COW

Girl Names
1

I have been hitting a blank wall recently and hating all my previously agreed on girls names.
I have had to go back to basics with my girls. I think (?) my naming style is feminine and frilly nature names? I am not sure.

I have cut most of the names I had ‘agreed’ on with my hubby, because I honestly hated them.

As I was coming up with this list, I accidentally put together [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] or [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] [name_f]Moria[/name_f]? (like 3 minutes ago)

The tricky bit is, DH says my names, with our last name sounds like cow names, and he HATES cow names…Here is our current list, our last name is Whitefield.

[name_f]Abigail[/name_f]

[name_f]Adeline[/name_f]

[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] (DH suggestion I am partial too)

[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]

[name_f]Birdie[/name_f]

[name_f]Blossom[/name_f]

[name_f]Bonnie[/name_f]

[name_f]Bryony[/name_f]

[name_f]Cherry[/name_f]

[name_f]Chloe[/name_f]

[name_f]Claribel[/name_f]

[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] (DH favourite)

[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]

[name_f]Esther[/name_f]

[name_f]Faun[/name_f]

[name_f]Fawn[/name_f]

[name_f]Fern[/name_f]

[name_f]Fleur[/name_f]

[name_f]Florence[/name_f]

[name_f]Grace[/name_f] (Family name)

[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]

[name_f]Honey[/name_f]

[name_f]Lavender[/name_f]

[name_f]Lettice[/name_f]

[name_f]Mae[/name_f] (Dh suggestion)

[name_f]Maple[/name_f]

[name_f]Marigold[/name_f]

[name_f]Maybelle[/name_f]

[name_f]Molly[/name_f] (DH suggestion, which I am partial too)

[name_f]Moria[/name_f]

[name_f]Philippa[/name_f]

[name_f]Pippa[/name_f]

[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]

[name_f]Primrose[/name_f]

[name_u]Quinn[/name_u]

[name_u]Sunnie[/name_u]

[name_u]Sunny[/name_u]

[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f]

[name_f]Willow[/name_f] (to common??)

[name_u]Wren[/name_u]

Hey!
A lot of those are really pretty. I particularly like [name_f]Abigail[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_f]Fleur[/name_f], [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] - you get 2 names there), [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], [name_f]Primrose[/name_f].

I’d have to say that I think [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Molly[/name_f] are pretty much the number one cow names. Sorry! Also I’d rule out [name_f]Blossom[/name_f], [name_f]Cherry[/name_f], [name_f]Birdie[/name_f], [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], [name_f]Faun[/name_f] / [name_f]Fern[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], [name_f]Maybelle[/name_f], [name_f]Lettice[/name_f], [name_f]Mae[/name_f]. [name_m]Just[/name_m] because with Whitefield they can sound over-the-top naturey.

3

Im partial to [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] myself but I’m biased. I also love [name_f]ALice[/name_f] and [name_f]Honey[/name_f] from your list. I really like [name_f]Molly[/name_f] and i dont find it reminds me of a cow but to each their own. Id avoid anything ending in bell or the name of a flower. those tend to be cow ish to me.

4

I would stick to name names.
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] Whitefield is pretty

5

Both [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] are beautiful! And neither make me think of cows:)

I just created a few combos from your list:

[name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f]
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] [name_f]Gwen[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwen[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Moria[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Moria[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f]
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]

6

[name_f]Honey[/name_f] & [name_f]Cherry[/name_f] are stripper names and you’ll be damning her to a low class existence.

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] is lovely.

Please don’t name her [name_f]Lettice[/name_f]. I almost peed my pants laughing at that one. Sounds just like lettuce. You might as well give her the middle name tomato.

7

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] goes well together but I dislike [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] [name_f]Moria[/name_f].

I like:
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Fleur[/name_f]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f]
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] with the nickname [name_f]Pippa[/name_f]
[name_f]Primrose[/name_f]

Neutral:
[name_f]Adeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Chloe[/name_f]
[name_f]Claribel[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Lavender[/name_f]
[name_f]Lettice[/name_f] - I prefer [name_f]Letitia[/name_f].
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f]
[name_f]Maybelle[/name_f]

Dislike:
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
[name_f]Birdie[/name_f]
[name_f]Blossom[/name_f]
[name_f]Bonnie[/name_f]
[name_f]Bryony[/name_f]

[name_f]Fern[/name_f]
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwen[/name_f]
[name_f]Heidi[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] though.
[name_f]Honey[/name_f]
[name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Molly[/name_f]

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]. Have you suggested it to dh yet?

9

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] would be a fine choice. My favorites on your list are [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] and [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] (although not crazy about [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] as a nn).

10

I have not, but when hubby returns 8 totally will.

11

I had the name [name_f]Lettice[/name_f] from a book I had read, before even meeting hubby. Veey early in the pregnancy with our first child, i was like well, if its a girl, it wil have to be [name_f]Lettice[/name_f]. Everyone laughed straight away and i was confused. We had been together 5 years and i had never put it together lol. Still a pretty name, but i won’t be using it for a baby, maybe a pet now.

12

Your husband has great taste! My favs:

[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Heidi[/name_f]

13

I made a few combinations from your list:
[name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Heidi[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f] [name_f]Fawn[/name_f]

I hope this helps! :slight_smile:

I removed all of the names from your list that I thought could potentially be used as cows’ names (& as my ex-husband came from a family of dairy farmers, I’m reasonably familiar w/“cow-like” names). I also took off [name_f]Willow[/name_f] & [name_u]Wren[/name_u], even though I personally love them, because your last name starts w/the same letter. If you like feminine & frilly names, w/a nature connection, from your list [name_f]Bryony[/name_f] would be my top choice for you because bryony is a plant. What about…

[name_f]Bryony[/name_f] [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
[name_f]Bryony[/name_f] [name_f]Fawn[/name_f]
[name_f]Bryony[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]

Phillippa means “lover of horses,” & you’d have the built-in nn of [name_f]Pippa[/name_f]:

Phillippa [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
Phillippa [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
Phillippa [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]

W/[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f], you’d have [name_f]Gwen[/name_f], [name_f]Gwennie[/name_f], or even [name_f]Vera[/name_f] as nn options:

[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f]
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]

[name_f]Holly[/name_f] is one of my favorites:

[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f] Phillippa
[name_f]Holly[/name_f] [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f]

If you both like [name_f]Molly[/name_f] & [name_f]Moria[/name_f] was one of your options, would [name_f]Moria[/name_f] nn [name_f]Molly[/name_f] be a possibility? Alternatives to [name_f]Moria[/name_f] could be [name_f]Mariah[/name_f] or [name_f]Malia[/name_f]…

[name_f]Mariah[/name_f]/[name_f]Malia[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Mariah[/name_f]/[name_f]Malia[/name_f] [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f]
[name_f]Mariah[/name_f]/[name_f]Malia[/name_f] Phillippa

Good luck! :slight_smile:

In order, I like:

[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f]
[name_f]Pippa[/name_f]
[name_f]Bryony[/name_f]

All so lovely!
