First off-- I’m not pregnant, I’m just making lists!
So I love [name]Henry[/name] for a boy, and am quite determined to use it with probably Albus as a middle name. But whenever I have a girl, I just can’t find any name I love as much as [name]Henry[/name]!
Here are my favorite girl’s names-- let me know what you think!
[name]Eleanor[/name] nn [name]Ellie[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name]-- not fond of [name]Julie[/name], though
[name]Esme[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]-- just a bit boring to me, and I don’t like any of the longer versions
[name]Cordelia[/name] nn [name]Cora[/name]-- I just don’t think I could pull it off!
[name]Lily[/name]-- too popular!
[name]Phoebe[/name] nn [name]Bee[/name]-- bit too old-sounding
[name]Teresa[/name]/[name]Theresa[/name] nn [name]Tess[/name]
Any other suggestions to go with [name]Henry[/name]?
Thanks in advance!
[name]Eleanor[/name] nn [name]Ellie[/name]: I love the name [name]Eleanor[/name], nn [name]Nora[/name], but I think that [name]Ellie[/name] is sweet, too.
[name]Juliet[/name]: One of my favorites!
[name]Esme[/name]: I think it’s very pretty, but I guess I picture something more traditional with [name]Henry[/name].
[name]Lucy[/name]: I think it’s a cheerful, spunky name.
[name]Cordelia[/name] nn [name]Cora[/name]: One of my favorites! If you don’t think you can pull off [name]Cordelia[/name], what about just using [name]Cora[/name]?
[name]Lily[/name]: Like you said, it’s very popular…
[name]Phoebe[/name] nn [name]Bee[/name]: I love the name [name]Phoebe[/name]!
[name]Teresa[/name]/[name]Theresa[/name] nn [name]Tess[/name]: I love [name]Tess[/name] more than I do [name]Teresa[/name].
from your suggestions, I like:
just [name]Cora[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name] ([name]Beatrix[/name] is too close to ‘[name]Bellatrix[/name]’ for my liking!)
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] (but–my last name starts with an “R” and if I never get married it would sound awful!)
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name] nn [name]Ellie[/name]: I think [name]Eleanor[/name] is a nice name, but it’s a little boring to me since I know so many of them. [name]Ellie[/name] as a nickname doesn’t really interest me.
[name]Juliet[/name]: I love [name]Juliet[/name]!! [name]Julia[/name] is also one of my favorites.
[name]Esme[/name]: Pretty name, reminds me of Twilight though…
[name]Lucy[/name]: I agree, it is a little boring, but nice enough.
[name]Cordelia[/name] nn [name]Cora[/name]: I think [name]Cordelia[/name] is so gorgeous!! I do agree that it would be hard to pull off, though. Still, it’s one of my favorites.
[name]Lily[/name]: Yeah, too popular, but I love it!
[name]Phoebe[/name] nn [name]Bee[/name]: I don’t think it’s old sounding at all; to me it actually seems a little cutesy and young. It’s also getting popular. I think it’s a lovely name, though!
[name]Teresa[/name]/[name]Theresa[/name] nn [name]Tess[/name]: It’s okay, not my favorite. I prefer [name]Tessa[/name] as a nickname.
