Inspire Me! [Based on Interests/Hobbies - Girls]

Hi berries!

I’m in a bit of a name slump of what feels like epic proportions–I have not gone this long without feeling inspired by new names. It may, in part, be due to how long I’ve been around name forums like Nameberry, or maybe I’m just not as obsessed with names anymore, I couldn’t say? I got to thinking, though, that maybe inspiration was much more likely to come if I search by things and interests I truly love, rather than just a specific style. [name_f]My[/name_f] name list is more organized by this anyway–love of family, hobbies, interests, religion, etc.–so it stands to reason that it would be a much more successful approach. (And if it flops, well, I’m no worse for wear, lol.)

So, what names would you suggest for someone who has these interests, hobbies, and affinities:

Languages (Portuguese, [name_u]French[/name_u], Russian, Danish, and Hebrew have extra significance)
Travel
Literature (think [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m], [name_u]Austen[/name_u], [name_m]Dumas[/name_m], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], Dickens, [name_u]Wilde[/name_u], etc.)
Classical [name_f]Music[/name_f]
Painting
Christianity (big inspiration here–I love both rare Bible names and names that have meanings reminiscent of my faith, like [name_f]Tessa[/name_f], [name_f]Liliana[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f], and [name_f]Arabella[/name_f], and even reformers, missionaries, martyrs, etc.)
Nature/Flowers/Birds/Trees
History
Astronomy
Family (this would be uber hard to predict, but any unexpected ways to honor the names K@ren, J0hn, R0bert, Arl3ne, R3becca, E!leen, Gr@ce, N@talie, [name_f]Rut[/name_f].h, Ma3, etc. are welcome)
Purple
Christmas
Wild adventures (think epic adventures like LOTR/Narnia, swashbuckling sword fights…)
Winter/Snow
Autumn

Anyway. Pick one interest, pick them all, and suggest a some fun and unexpected ways to honor them? Looking forward to your ideas, berries!

Thank you!

Oh, yes, yes, yes! Thank you berries! Definitely not out of the slump yet, but this has been much more successful than previous “inspire me!” attempts. :rofl:

@Camelia - Thank you! [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] is one I’ve definitely been toying with. I love the tie to the constellation. I identify with [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] Dashwood more than any other [name_u]Austen[/name_u] character–I love her!–but am already pretty committed to the [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] spelling. Either way, love the name, though! [name_f]Eva[/name_f] is already on the list as a nn for [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]; I may need to reconsider [name_m]Bastien[/name_m]/Bastian/Sebastian and [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]. :heart: (Ugh, oh how I wish I loved [name_m]Edmond[/name_m]/Edmund because I absolutely adore all three of those ties.) Thanks again!

@shells15 - [name_f]Calanthe[/name_f] [name_u]Maria[/name_u] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is in consideration, nn [name_f]Annie[/name_f]. I like it a lot but it almost seems to ethereal for me? I’m not as keen on [name_f]Carina[/name_f] but love [name_f]Cara[/name_f], which has a similar principle. :heart: [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] is a big, big honor name, but I’d only ever use it as a middle. Thank you!

@leafsgirl44 - thank you dear. :heart: [name_f]Plum[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Mireille[/name_f], [name_f]Maddalena[/name_f], [name_u]Halle[/name_u], [name_f]Ksenia[/name_f], etc. are my favorites. I so need to fit [name_f]Plum[/name_f] in as a middle somewhere. :heart: You know (at least I think you do!) that [name_u]Eden[/name_u], [name_f]Adele[/name_f], [name_u]Aquila[/name_u], Lærke, etc., are big favorites. I’m reconsidering [name_f]Ariela[/name_f], [name_f]Odette[/name_f], [name_f]Plum[/name_f], and [name_f]Nadia[/name_f] because of you! :heart: And maybe [name_f]Galilea[/name_f] as a middle!

@Greyblue - thank you, love! Big big yes to [name_f]Adele[/name_f] (too bad she’s already on my list, and I can’t add her multiple times! haha), [name_f]Vienna[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] (crushing so hard on her lately!), . I’ll be considering [name_f]Cosette[/name_f], [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f], [name_m]Cornelius[/name_m] (eh, [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] just doesn’t do it for me, le sigh), and [name_f]Mira[/name_f], too. [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] are already on my list, too. :heart:

I welcome anyone else to jump in; [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], [name_f]Odette[/name_f], [name_f]Vienna[/name_f], [name_f]Calanthe[/name_f], and [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] are now maybes. :heart:

Wow, wow, wow, this is above and beyond, lol, thank you!

I lovelove [name_f]Hanne[/name_f]–I feel like [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] would work much easier in [name_u]America[/name_u], but I love the Danish roots, and [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] itself honors my grandma and mom. I honestly should see if I can fit her in somewhere. Tommelise is interesting, too! I also love [name_f]Amaya[/name_f], [name_f]Brigid[/name_f] (I’ve been considering this already; I just don’t know where to put her, lol), [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], [name_u]Peregrine[/name_u] (although I’m considering this for a boy), [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] (recently re-added to my list!), [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f], [name_f]Odette[/name_f], [name_f]Ksenia[/name_f]/Xenia, [name_f]Ilana[/name_f], [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], [name_f]Tatiana[/name_f] (by relation, [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] may be under consideration too), [name_u]Halle[/name_u] (love this, and I love that this is the first five letters of “hallelujah”, which I think is such a lovely sentiment!), etc. I’ll have to give these more thought, but I really appreciate your thought into this!

Thank you! Almost all of those honor names I’m not seeing the connection, but I appreciate the thought! :joy: [name_f]Anouk[/name_f] is the most likely of your suggestions, though; I’ve long loved it to honor my grandma (whose MN was Gr@c3). I like [name_f]Milena[/name_f] and [name_f]Amara[/name_f], too, but they don’t really feel like me? [name_f]Acacia[/name_f] is fascinating but I think I like [name_f]Acadia[/name_f] more. [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] are lovely, but already on my list in [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] _____ “[name_f]Lottie[/name_f]” atm. :heart:

Andromeda - constellation
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] - fruit!
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] - Shakespearian heroine
[name_u]Echo[/name_u] - nymph in Greek mythology
[name_u]Hero[/name_u] - Shakespearian heroine
[name_f]Morgana[/name_f] - Arthurian legend
[name_u]Nevada[/name_u] - reminiscent of infinitive ‘to snow’ in Portuguese (nevar) and travel
[name_f]Venus[/name_f] - planet, [name_m]Roman[/name_m] name for [name_f]Aphrodite[/name_f], Birth of [name_f]Venus[/name_f] by Botticelli

Thank you! [name_u]Echo[/name_u] and [name_u]Hero[/name_u] are definite options for middles. I also like [name_f]Clementina[/name_f], even though [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] itself isn’t something I am wowed by. I like [name_f]Morgana[/name_f] but I hear she’s not the best association? I’m still working my way through [name_m]King[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] haha.
