If I like these names, I'll love

[mckaylalove]

I’ve reached a point with my favourite girls’ names where I look at them, and I still like them, but I’m almost bored by them now. I’d really love some new, different ones to ponder. Can anyone offer some suggestions?

I can be pretty picky but apparently a lot of my favourite girls names share these things:

• a mythological/classical background (eg [name_f]Diana[/name_f], [name_f]Clio[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_f]Persephone[/name_f], [name_f]Freya[/name_f], [name_u]Artemis[/name_u], [name_f]Juno[/name_f], [name_f]Thea[/name_f])
• unusual yet established; not made up (eg [name_f]Lux[/name_f], [name_f]Faye[/name_f], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Willa[/name_f], [name_u]Piper[/name_u], [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u], [name_f]Arabella[/name_f])
• nature influenced (eg [name_f]Fern[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Tansy[/name_f], [name_u]Arden[/name_u], [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], [name_f]Terra[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Posy[/name_f])
• spunky flair but also musical, rhythmic flow (eg [name_f]Aria[/name_f], [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] nn [name_u]Rory[/name_u], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], [name_f]Maren[/name_f])

These are some names I’ve only really just started loving:
[name_f]Noa[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f]
[name_f]Tansy[/name_f]
[name_f]Suri[/name_f]/[name_f]Suria[/name_f]
[name_u]Scout[/name_u]

Can anyone throw some names that they think I’d like at me?
