I want the "It Girl" feel

I know you can only dream about who your daughter will be and they will probably be drastically different then who we imagined, but I don’t see anything wrong with naming your child with that vision in mind. When I picture our daughter I imagine her as intelligent like her father, altruistic like her mother, well rounded and well traveled like us both. I think she’ll also have one of those personalities that people are drawn to like her father. She’ll have a spark :). So I think IT girl. Like those girls who travel a lot and have their fingers in a lot of different things. Sophistication is an important feel for us.

We have a pretty diverse heritage. I’m Mexican, Greek and Scottish. My husband it Polish, Italian, and Irish. With the last name B@ck0wski, I want to steer clear of any Polish names.

These are a few names I’ve come up with:
[name_f]Paloma[/name_f] B@ck0wski
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] B@ck0wski
[name_f]Valentina[/name_f] B@ck0wski

So, what do you think of those and what suggestions do you have for an “It Girl” name???

[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f]
[name_f]Sabrina[/name_f]
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f]
[name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosa[/name_f]

  1. [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] - I think this name is so underused. It’s so beautiful!
  2. [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] - I love the sound of this name. However, it may be a little bit of a mouthful with your last name.
  3. [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] - Not so keen on this one. Not a bad choice, though.

Suggestions:
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] (again, this and the rest of the four syllable names may be too much of a mouthful)
[name_f]Adelina[/name_f]
[name_f]Catalina[/name_f]
[name_f]Viviana[/name_f]
[name_f]Isla[/name_f]
[name_f]Lola[/name_f]
[name_f]Amara[/name_f]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Aria[/name_f]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f]
[name_f]Sienna[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]
[name_f]Kiera[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]

All of the above names honor you and your husband’s heritage. Good luck!

Thanks!

I like:
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]

Any other suggestions?

[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Agatha[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Eugenia[/name_f]
[name_f]Louise[/name_f]

[name_f]Francesca[/name_f] was my first thought

or

[name_f]Marguerite[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f]
[name_f]Raphaela[/name_f]

I love [name_f]Paloma[/name_f], and I love the contrast between its smoothness and the more staccato-ish quality of your surname. I agree that [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] B@ck0wski feels like a mouthful, and I think I get [name_f]Agnes[/name_f]'s appeal but to me it doesn’t have the je ne sais quoi that you’re describing.

You might also like:

[name_f]Serena[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f]
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f]
[name_f]Mireille[/name_f]

[name_f]Valentina[/name_f] is definitely my favorite and sounds to me like an IT girl’s name!

I love [name_f]Paloma[/name_f]!
[name_m]How[/name_m] about

[name_f]Aviva[/name_f]
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
[name_f]Eugenie[/name_f]
[name_f]Juno[/name_f]
[name_f]Leonie[/name_f]
Noomi
[name_f]Pomeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Sabine[/name_f]

I think you’re on to a winner with [name_f]Paloma[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Agnes[/name_f], but not so much with an English pronunciation.

The poster above suggested [name_f]Juno[/name_f] and Léonie, which are also “it girl” for me. And recently I’m loving [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] (which to me has the same fusty-elegant thing going on as [name_f]Agnes[/name_f]).

[name_f]Paloma[/name_f] and [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] are definite ‘it-girl’ names, I think they are perfect for you.
Other names off the top of my head: [name_f]Mallory[/name_f], [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], [name_f]Miranda[/name_f].

[name_f]Etta[/name_f]
[name_f]Ada[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]
[name_f]Lola[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Edie[/name_f]

[name_f]Paloma[/name_f] is nice :slight_smile:

I also like [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] a lot.

What about?
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f] / [name_f]Delphi[/name_f]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f]
[name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Davina[/name_f]
[name_f]Sabrina[/name_f]
[name_f]Anthea[/name_f]
[name_f]Portia[/name_f]
[name_f]Rafaela[/name_f]
[name_f]Deirdre[/name_f]
[name_f]Junia[/name_f]
[name_f]Samara[/name_f]

Thanks everyone!
The following I like and I took them to my husband:
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] and [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]- husband says they are too Orphan [name_m]Black[/name_m] *cue me rolling my eyes
[name_f]Rafeala[/name_f]
[name_f]Mireille[/name_f]- husband says it’s too complicated for the U.S.
[name_f]Eugenie[/name_f]- he hates it.
[name_f]Juno[/name_f]- he can’t get past the movie
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f]- he isn’t ruling it out!
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f]- he says are too popular and in the U.S. It would be pronounced [name_u]Clair[/name_u]-ah and he like Clahr-ah
[name_f]Petra[/name_f]- flat out no from him
[name_f]Anthea[/name_f]- “that’s a name?”

I think our top contenders are [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] and [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]. Which do you all prefer? They are very different… We don’t have a mn for [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] yet. [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] is the other combo.

Also, any other suggestions would be great. A lot of these names I never would have considered and I appreciate it so much!

Although [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] is beautiful I prefer [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] with your last name. Others that came to mind:

[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Calla[/name_f]
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f]
[name_f]Lorelei[/name_f]
[name_f]Liliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f]

Haha, your husband’s reactions remind me of conversations with my own!

I love [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] from your list.

Another suggestion: [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f].

I met a girl at a party once who seemed worldly and who had a cool job in film, and this was her name. Awe-na-lees

[name_f]Valentina[/name_f] is my favorite from your list.
