Girl Names

Okay so this is it. I am overdue and still haven’t found the name. The name I love is [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], however I noticed both these names are male derivatives which shouldn’t bother me but it does. The other option I have come up with is [name_f]Etta[/name_f]. I love love [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] however my husband does not :(, he does however like [name_f]Etta[/name_f]. Thoughts on [name_f]Etta[/name_f] vs [name_f]Willa[/name_f]? These are our last two names, so it’s got to be between these two, however I would love some middle name suggestions for either name!

Thank you all!

Most names have a male and female version. I think [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is lovely! totally classy and beautiful. Uncommon but still a real name if you know what i mean. [name_m]Ive[/name_m] never met a [name_f]Willa[/name_f]. and i love it. [name_f]Etta[/name_f] makes me think of the singer. I prefer [name_f]Willa[/name_f] but thats just me.

I’m going to put in a second vote for [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] :). It’s stunning, and [name_f]Willa[/name_f] is very feminine to me.
What about [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]?

I love [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]. If your husband and yourself can come to a compromise and have [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] as the MN then [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] would take my vote.

I also love [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] and did not realize [name_f]Willa[/name_f] was a male derivative! I like [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] too. Both names are beautiful. Some other options:

Most names derive from the same root, male and female variations! I think [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is a lovely combination!

Would [name_f]Julietta[/name_f] be a compromise? Nickname [name_f]Etta[/name_f]?

I love [name_f]Willa[/name_f]! [name_f]Etta[/name_f] sounds like a nickname or like it should be part of a longer name to me.

[name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] and [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] are both stunning!

[name_f]Willa[/name_f] Southern way of saying [name_f]Willow[/name_f]! Why not [name_f]Willetta[/name_f]?

Thank you all so much. I thought I had the name down but kept saying it over and over until I drove myself crazy. I love the idea of [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] but I don’t think I’m ready to let [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] go just yet, I still love it and am hoping to convince my husband the next time around.

So I think [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] will be the name! A huge thank you to you all, you’re fantastic! And I love the suggestions for middle names for [name_f]Etta[/name_f], I’ll save them for the next one.
