[name]Hi[/name] everyone, I have finally made a consolidated girl list. I’ve posted various names here and there, and have scraps of paper around my house with different combos and I think its best to finally list them all to narrow it down.
My top 2 names are [name]Stella[/name] and [name]Greta[/name].
I’m thinking:
[name]Stella[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Stella[/name] [name]Gatsby[/name]
[name]Greta[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Greta[/name] [name]Gatsby[/name] (or open to mn name suggestion, I don’t mind alliteration.)
I really like [name]Vivienne[/name] and [name]Adrienne[/name], however I can’t really see using these for some reason. Maybe as a middle.
I love [name]Parisa[/name] and Sohela, but our last name is very ethnic and DH isn’t really too interested in using an ethnic first name as well. That being said I think [name]Padma[/name] would be a cute name too, but might not work on a non-[name]Indian[/name] child.
Other names on my list are:
[name]Gatsby[/name]
[name]Grace[/name]
[name]Gabrielle[/name]/[name]Gabriella[/name]- (which I probably shouldn’t use since my cousin with the same name as me just named her daughter this…)
[name]Naomi[/name] (but might be too close to my son [name]Noah[/name])
[name]Ophelia[/name]- DH hates
[name]Beatrice[/name]- DH hates
[name]Sophia[/name]- DH loves because he doesn’t care about popularity. I refuse to use it as a first, but it’s beautiful and would use it as a middle.
[name]Margaux[/name]
[name]Thalia[/name]
[name]Dalia[/name]
[name]Yael[/name]
So my list is all over the place. We are still TTC, so I’m not in a hurry. I want something interesting, not too common, and feminine. I love [name]Stella[/name] and [name]Greta[/name] because to me they seem pretty, somewhat ‘hip’ and not too trendy or strange sounding.
I am looking forward to any discussion or suggestions for the berry community. My family is so sick of talking about names with me!
[name]Stella[/name] [name]Grace[/name] is adorable with [name]Noah[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name]! I also like [name]Stella[/name] [name]Margaux[/name] and [name]Stella[/name] [name]Sophia[/name]/[name]Stella[/name] [name]Sophie[/name]. I love [name]Ophelia[/name] (and think that [name]Stella[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] would be stunning), but if your husband hates it, I would drop it.
[name]Greta[/name] [name]Margaux[/name] would be really pretty, too.
[name]Stella[/name] [name]Grace[/name] is lovely. [name]Greta[/name] [name]Grace[/name] has an old-time movie feel to it, which also makes it lovely to me. And both go beautifully with [name]Noah[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name]. I don’t think you need to look any further (sorry I know that’s no fun)!
Thanks for the suggestions so far! @imogeneve - you’re right, I should probably keep it between [name]Stella[/name] and [name]Greta[/name] since those are the two I love the most.
Of your top two I prefer [name]Greta[/name], I like [name]Stella[/name] too but it has become very popular. [name]Naomi[/name] is my favorite girls name but it is close in sound to [name]Noah[/name] but you said you weren’t bothered by alliteration so they would make a good match. If they are too close than I think [name]Greta[/name] [name]Naomi[/name] is a good and uncommon match up.
The name [name]Greta[/name] is really growing on me - it feels like a livelier and fresher name than [name]Stella[/name].
The only problem I have with your list is that [name]Greta[/name] [name]Gatsby[/name] is one letter switched from Great [name]Gatsby[/name]… which might be a little odd when people first encounter it? Perhaps you could break the two up? [name]Greta[/name] [name]Anne[/name] [name]Gatsby[/name], or go with [name]Greta[/name] [name]Grace[/name]. I’m a big fan of alliteration.
[name]How[/name] funny! I didn’t even realize how close it was to Great [name]Gatsby[/name]… I think if I go with [name]Greta[/name] I can’t use [name]Gatsby[/name] as a mn, it would just be too much. I like [name]Greta[/name] [name]Grace[/name], and I think GG could be a cute nickname!
What about [name]Chloe[/name]? DH has decide he loves it. I love [name]Chloe[/name] too, but its way up there in popularity in comparison with [name]Greta[/name] or [name]Stella[/name].
Of all the name you posted my favorite combo is [name]Stella[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name]. I think its gorgeous with [name]Noah[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name]. I think [name]Greta[/name] is absolutely adorable as well but none of the possible middles were doing a lot for me. Maybe [name]Greta[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name]?
