Hoping for some fresh inspiration :)

Girl Names
1

Alright, fellow Berries–

I am in need of your assistance. Haha DH and I are trying to name our little girl. He is quite happy with [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] is lovely, but I don’t know that it feels “right" anymore. :confused: I’m liking [name_u]Arden[/name_u] a lot right now and it’s one DH likes too, but I’m not convinced just yet. So I’m hoping you all might be able to suggest some fresh names as I kind of feel like I’ve looked at everything (though I know that’s not really true).

To give you an idea of our (rather varied) style, here are some names/combos that have been on our list at some point. [name_m]Feel[/name_m] free to suggest middle names too, if you want! Thanks!

[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_u]Arden[/name_u] [name_f]Alisha[/name_f]
[name_f]Greer[/name_f] [name_f]Elaine[/name_f]
[name_u]Adley[/name_u]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Ireland[/name_f]
[name_u]Haven[/name_u] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ansley[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Emmalyn[/name_f]
[name_u]London[/name_u]
[name_f]Lilliana[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]

I think [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] is gorgeous and with [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is charming.

Oh I love [name_u]Arden[/name_u]

[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Arden[/name_u]

[name_u]Arden[/name_u] [name_f]Elaine[/name_f]
[name_u]Arden[/name_u] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_u]Arden[/name_u] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_u]Arden[/name_u] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]

Since you like [name_u]Arden[/name_u], maybe you’d like some similar names? For example, [name_f]Aria[/name_f], [name_f]Addie[/name_f], [name_f]Ariana[/name_f], [name_f]Astraea[/name_f], [name_f]Iria[/name_f]. Or if you like some simple names e.g. [name_f]Alisha[/name_f], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], or maybe some that aren’t on your list like [name_u]Courtney[/name_u]; maybe you could spell them in an unusual way. I know a few ‘Courtneys’ and one of them spells their name like ‘Kourtnei’. Then I know some ‘Alishas’ and ‘Amelias’ so maybe you could spell them differently, e.g. [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] or [name_f]Emelia[/name_f] for [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], and for [name_f]Alisha[/name_f], [name_u]Elysha[/name_u], [name_u]Elisha[/name_u], [name_f]Alysha[/name_f]. Or something similar to them like [name_f]Alyssa[/name_f], [name_f]Alicia[/name_f], Emlee, [name_m]Asher[/name_m], [name_f]Ashleigh[/name_f], and so on. [name_f]Lily[/name_f] itself is a popular name, my names quite popular and it sometimes annoys me since there’s a few people I know with my name so personally I don’t think naming her [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] would be the best of ideas. I do like [name_f]Ireland[/name_f], [name_u]London[/name_u] and [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] though. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helped you.

[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Arden[/name_u] is nice.
For your consideration, I suggest [name_f]Felicia[/name_f] [name_u]Arden[/name_u].
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_m]Adrian[/name_m] could be a variant.

[name_f]Do[/name_f] felicity and noel(lle) both mean joy?

[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Elaine[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]

[name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_u]Arden[/name_u]
[name_f]Alisha[/name_f]
[name_f]Greer[/name_f]
[name_u]Adley[/name_u]
[name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Ireland[/name_f]
[name_u]Haven[/name_u]
[name_f]Ansley[/name_f]
[name_f]Snow[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmalyn[/name_f]
[name_u]London[/name_u]
[name_f]Lilliana[/name_f]

[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] are lovely combos. [name_f]Emmalyn[/name_f] I think would bridge the gap between modern and traditional if spelt [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]. I totally get how you feel about needing to see some new names but first can I suggest ArdenFelicity? I think it flows nicely as well as incorparating two names you can both agree on nd is an overall nice, well-rounded combo.

Now on to some suggestions:
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f]
[name_u]Auden[/name_u]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u]

[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_u]Sloane[/name_u]

[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]

[name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] (possibly too R heavy??)
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]

[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Elaine[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f]

@fionnabhair: Thanks for the suggestions! I had actually thought about [name_u]Arden[/name_u] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] as I really love [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] and it has special meaning to us since DH and I both really love [name_u]Christmas[/name_u], but I wasn’t sure whether the N sounds ran together or not.

@freyjaleighhh: Thanks for all the suggestions! We had actually considered [name_f]Addie[/name_f] as a nickname of sorts for [name_u]Arden[/name_u] when she was young. Not that I think [name_u]Arden[/name_u] needs a nickname necessarily, but people inevitably try to make one, so I figured we’d head them off. haha I am not usually a fan of creative or unusual spellings, so I don’t think I could ever go for Kourtnei, but I don’t mind [name_f]Alysha[/name_f]/[name_u]Elysha[/name_u]/[name_u]Elisha[/name_u] as they all look more like names in their own right. [name_u]Elisha[/name_u] actually is and is really all boy to me given the prophet in the Bible with that name. I’ll have to look over the rest of your suggestions again. I definitely appreciate the feedback!

@lynng: Thank you for the suggestions. =] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] means joy or happiness, but [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] actually means [name_u]Christmas[/name_u].

@ceruleanstardust: First of all, I love your username! I have a CeruleanSkies username on another site. One of my favorite colors. =] Secondly, thank you for the feedback and suggestions! I do quite like [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] and [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] and we’ve talked about [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] and [name_f]Leona[/name_f] before, so you were right on track. [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] was actually one of your top picks for a boy and I can’t decide if I like it enough for a girl or if I want to save it in case we have a boy in the future. lol I am not a huge fan of [name_f]Pheobe[/name_f] for some reason and I never really have been, but [name_f]Pheobe[/name_f] [name_f]Elaine[/name_f] does sound very nice. Of the combos you suggested, I really like [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] and [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f].

@dream.create: Thanks for the list love and for the suggestions! You suggested some names I have legitimately never considered before. haha [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] is one that intrigues me every time I see it. I love the way it sounds, familiar but still unique. [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] is also a favorite of mine, but we can’t use it because it’s way too close to a middle name that a gazillion people in DH’s family have. I am so sad about that, too. lol I also really like [name_f]Calla[/name_f], [name_f]Arbor[/name_f], [name_f]Bree[/name_f], [name_u]Tatum[/name_u] (this one got shot down by DH and Mom =,[ ), [name_f]Terra[/name_f], and quite a few others. I’ll have to look again with DH! Thanks again.

[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is lovely, but if you’re not dazzled by it, then it’s a great idea to look at some other names. I agree wholeheartedly with @Lynng above, [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Arden[/name_u] would be a great way to incorporate both names you love.

My only concern with [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] for you is if your other favorites are [name_u]Arden[/name_u], [name_u]Haven[/name_u], [name_f]Greer[/name_f] and company, [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] kind of sticks out as very feminine compared to your unisex picks. But that’s up to you whether you want your kids’ names to be of the same style (if you’re having more than one baby).

I do love [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Lillianna[/name_f], [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f], and [name_u]London[/name_u] together. They feel glamorous and pretty. [name_u]Haven[/name_u], [name_u]Adley[/name_u], [name_f]Ansley[/name_f], [name_u]Arden[/name_u], [name_f]Greer[/name_f], and [name_f]Ireland[/name_f] feel more neutral and friendly. So I think you should decide which vibe you’re going for.

Suggestions you might like that would fit with either style (meaning they’re feminine but not fancy or frilly) would include: [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f], [name_u]Avery[/name_u], [name_u]Hadley[/name_u], [name_u]Ariel[/name_u], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Bridget[/name_f], [name_f]Blythe[/name_f], [name_u]Blaire[/name_u], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], [name_f]Coralie[/name_f], [name_f]Jolie[/name_f], [name_f]Kaia[/name_f], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], [name_f]Laurel[/name_f], [name_f]Luna[/name_f], [name_u]Ember[/name_u], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Mila[/name_f], [name_u]Morgan[/name_u], [name_f]Nina[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_u]Riley[/name_u], [name_u]Reagan[/name_u], [name_f]Romilly[/name_f], [name_f]Nova[/name_f], [name_u]Piper[/name_u], [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], [name_u]Sage[/name_u], [name_u]Sasha[/name_u], [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], [name_u]Skyler[/name_u], [name_f]Summer[/name_f], [name_f]Thea[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_u]Waverly[/name_u], or [name_f]Willow[/name_f]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] you find something you like, and Congrats!

11

[name_f]Greer[/name_f] and [name_f]Margot[/name_f] are two of my favorites. [name_u]Arden[/name_u] is nice, as is [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] too. [name_f]Phillipa[/name_f], [name_f]Tessa[/name_f], [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] feel like names in your group.

12

[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]!

13

You have on your list [name_f]Ireland[/name_f], [name_u]London[/name_u], what about [name_m]Britain[/name_m]?
