I cannot find any girls names that seem to demand a second or third look. However I have a new list of maybes, names I don’t love but ones that I like for the moment. Honest opinions on them?
[name]Gemma[/name]
[name]Mila[/name]
[name]Anya[/name]
[name]Acadia[/name]
[name]Arcadia[/name]
[name]Caia[/name]
[name]Lilith[/name] (SO’s pick)
Possible mn’s include:
[name]Summer[/name]
[name]Snow[/name]
[name]Jane[/name]
Thanks in advance!
My favorites are [name]Gemma[/name] and [name]Lilith[/name].
[name]Lilith[/name] [name]Snow[/name] is gorgeous
[name]Gemma[/name] – I think it’s very pretty, but not the prettiest on this list.
[name]Mila[/name] – I love it. It’s cute and pretty for a little girl, sort of sexy for a grown woman 
[name]Anya[/name] – I like it, but it’s just okay to me.
[name]Acadia[/name] – It’s nice but I prefer [name]Arcadia[/name].
[name]Arcadia[/name] – [name]LOVE[/name] it! Very beautiful and sweet.
[name]Caia[/name] – I love it, but prefer the [name]Kaia[/name] spelling.
[name]Lilith[/name] – I adore [name]Lilith[/name]. It’s sophisticated and beautiful with a more mainstream nn of [name]Lily[/name]
So my top 3 with middles are:
I love [name]Jane[/name], [name]Mila[/name], and [name]Gemma[/name]! [name]How[/name] about:
[name]Daphne[/name]
[name]Margo[/name]
[name]Mira[/name]
[name]Arcadia[/name] [name]Snow[/name]…wow, beautiful. As is [name]Lilith[/name] [name]Snow[/name]. Not sure where you live, but maybe [name]Jemima[/name] or [name]Milana[/name]? Or [name]Mirabel[/name], [name]Clary[/name], Calligena, [name]Calla[/name] or [name]Calico[/name].
My favorites are [name]Lilith[/name] and [name]Gemma[/name]. [name]Caia[/name] has been grow on me lately but I’d prefer it spelled [name]Kaya[/name].
For combos I like…
[name]Lilith[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Gemma[/name] [name]Snow[/name]
[name]Caia[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Arcadia[/name] [name]Snow[/name]
What do you think of the name ‘[name]Honey[/name]’? It came to me as I was reading your list.
Thanks guys.
I like [name]Mila[/name] but it might have to be a middle name as SO isn’t so fond of it. [name]Calla[/name] is nice I might have to add it on that list.
[name]Honey[/name] is nms, it seems more like a nickname like Darling or [name]Sugar[/name].
Couple more questions regarding [name]Gemma[/name]:
Is it too close to [name]Emma[/name]?
Is there any longer mn for it? [name]Gemma[/name] [name]Snow[/name] [name]Baker[/name] sounds a tad choppy to me although [name]Gemma[/name] [name]Snow[/name] is gorgeous.
I really like [name]Gemma[/name] [name]Snow[/name] but really you should keep looking until you find something that makes you say “Thats’s the one” I was looking for ever but I finally found the right first name and the middle just fell into place then. And I found it on this website just ready some of the blogs. [name]Don[/name]'t worry…you will find the right one.
Since you asked for honest opinions, I’ll say that since you are willing to go all the way to [name]Arcadia[/name] or [name]Acadia[/name] or [name]Lilith[/name], why would you stick with [name]Gemma[/name]? It’s a lovely name but a pretty safe choice and very close to [name]Jenna[/name] – a [name]Jennifer[/name] update – and [name]Emma[/name], another longtime Top 10 name. [name]Mila[/name], [name]Anya[/name], and [name]Caia[/name] to me all have a similar same-but-different feel to them, like edging toward second base while keeping your foot on first. [name]Lilith[/name] could be viewed that way too, given its relationship to [name]Lily[/name].
I like [name]Arcadia[/name] or [name]Acadia[/name] best.
Thanks [name]Pam[/name]! [name]Gemma[/name] just kind of popped into my head. I don’t love it but then again there aren’t many girls names that I like it all. I guess it goes to trying to make sure my mother won’t flip out. I can already hear my family’s objections to [name]Lilith[/name].
I like [name]Arcadia[/name]/[name]Acadia[/name] but I’m sure how it sounds with my SO’s last name ([name]Baker[/name]).
I like [name]Anya[/name], [name]Caia[/name] and [name]Lilith[/name]. [name]Don[/name]'t care for the rest.
I get compliments on [name]Mila[/name] all the time, although I might go with [name]Milena[/name] if naming a baby. I’m officially [name]Pamela[/name] but became [name]Mila[/name] due to siblings and friends, calling me [name]Pammie[/name]-La.
[name]Gemma[/name] - one of those names I like on other people’s kids, but wouldn’t use myself.
[name]Mila[/name] - don’t really get a good image with this one. NMS or something, I can’t quite put my finger on it.
[name]Anya[/name] - I’m a sucker for Eastern European names, and this one’s just darling.
[name]Acadia[/name] - Not sure why, but it makes my think of katydids.
[name]Arcadia[/name] - Sounds too much like the name of a place as opposed to a person. Some geographic names work fine, but I’m not sure about this one.
[name]Caia[/name] - I prefer the [name]Kaia[/name] spelling, but I like the earthy feel.
[name]Lilith[/name] - Easily my favorite girl’s name of all time. Versatile and strong without being overbearing.
[name]Summer[/name] - I don’t think this name gets enough love. It’s so warm and bright and inviting. Like it as a middle name.
[name]Snow[/name] - Makes me think of the main character from [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Bronte[/name]'s [name]Villette[/name]. ([name]Snow[/name] was her last name) Wasn’t fond of her, I must say. Despite that, it could be a cute middle name, not sure how well it would work in her adult years though.
[name]Jane[/name] - Makes me think of [name]Jane[/name] [name]Eyre[/name], which I liked much better. A solid go-to middle name, but not filler by any means.
I really like [name]Gemma[/name], [name]Mila[/name], [name]Arcadia[/name], and [name]Caia[/name].
[name]Gemma[/name] [name]Snow[/name] (this middle works better with a common first name)
[name]Mila[/name] [name]Summer[/name]
[name]Arcadia[/name] [name]Jane[/name] (same; [name]Arcadia[/name] is elaborate and unusual enough - [name]Jane[/name]'s “down-to-earthess” balances it)
[name]Caia[/name] [name]Summer[/name]
Thanks guys!
I’m going to mention [name]Mila[/name] [name]Summer[/name], [name]Gemma[/name] [name]Snow[/name] and [name]Arcadia[/name] [name]Jane[/name] to DH later if he’ll listen and see what he thinks.
[name]Lilith[/name] [name]Jane[/name] is my favorite 
[name]Lilith[/name] [name]Jane[/name]!
