Girls names I (think I) like so far:
[name]Henrietta[/name]
[name]Marigold[/name]
[name]Florence[/name]
[name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name]
[name]Cecilia/Cecily[/name]
I would love honest opinions on these and any suggestions!
Here is my boys list if that helps…
[name]August[/name]
[name]Harold[/name]
[name]Ira[/name]
[name]Louis[/name]
[name]Jasper[/name]
[name]Walter[/name]
[name]Henrietta[/name] - I really like it, esp. since I love the nickname [name]Etta[/name]
[name]Marigold[/name] - It’s not a favourite of mine. I prefer [name]Violet[/name] or [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Florence[/name] - I do like it, but I’m not sure I would use it personally
[name]Pearl[/name] - Not a favourite, but it’s becoming quite popular here on Nameberry.
[name]Adelaide[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] THIS! [name]One[/name] of my favourites
My first suggestions after reading your list are [name]Marietta[/name], [name]Harriet[/name], and [name]Hattie[/name]. I love your entire list, though I personally find [name]Adelaide[/name] and [name]Cecilia[/name] too common for my taste. The other four would be so sweet to see on a child!
[name]Henrietta[/name] - Prefer [name]Harriet[/name] to [name]Henrietta[/name], but I still like this, and [name]LOVE[/name] nn [name]Etta[/name]
[name]Marigold[/name] - Loving this lately! Still unsure about it as a fn, but [name]Goldie[/name] is a cute nn!
[name]Florence[/name] - So beautiful! Prefer [name]Flora[/name] as a fn, and [name]Florence[/name] as a mn though.
[name]Pearl[/name] - So cute and spunky up front, and gorgeous in the middle!
[name]Adelaide[/name] - I like [name]Adelaide[/name], but I already know two… as well as an [name]Addison[/name], [name]Adelina[/name], and [name]Adeline[/name]… all going by [name]Addy[/name]!! What about [name]Ada[/name]?
[name]Cecilia[/name]/[name]Cecily[/name] - I love [name]Cecilia[/name] and [name]Celia[/name], never can decide which is my favorite! I know [name]Cecily[/name] isn’t modern, but it feels more modern to me, so I don’t think it matches your other names quite as well. Still pretty though!
I love [name]August[/name], [name]Louis[/name], [name]Jasper[/name], and [name]Walter[/name] from your boys list, and [name]Ira[/name] intrigues me! I think I could actually see [name]Ira[/name] on a little boy again, [name]Harold[/name] not so much though…
I really like [name]Adelaide[/name] and [name]Cecilia[/name]. I like [name]Pearl[/name] but only as a middle name.
I don’t like [name]Marigold[/name].
Thankyou for the help so far!!
As much as I love [name]Marigold[/name], I don’t think I would use it as a first name, perhaps as a middle name.
In regards to [name]Cecilia[/name]/[name]Cecily[/name], I prefer [name]Cecilia[/name] but I am trying to fall in love with [name]Cecily[/name] as an alternative because there is already a [name]Cecilia[/name] in the extended family (not so close that I couldn’t use it but I’m not sure how I feel about using an already taken name).
Also, I love [name]Ada[/name]! I was hoping to use [name]Ada[/name] as a nickname for [name]Adelaide[/name]!
Keep the comments coming, they are much appreciated!
