List for Baby Girl: Attempt No. 1

[ottilie]

[name]Baby[/name]'s in the belly way sooner than planned, so it’s back to name lists for me. I know it’s early, but last time was kind of disastrous, and I can’t imagine having any time on my hands with an 11 month old and a newborn to think about names when February comes, so it’s better to get a head start. Boyfriend is, again, not talking baby names until the second trimester, so this is all me.

These are the names I’ve though of this far (it’s long, I know). Lots of reuse from last time, some new loves. I’d love to get your opinions, and suggestions too. Our daughter has the name of one of the major Greek deities, so I’d like to avoid major Goddesses as first name (I know [name]Ceridwen[/name] is on there, but I love it so…). If you’d like to try to make combos, that would of course be welcome. We’re doing two middles. If first name is eccentric, one of the middles needs to be one of the more normal names (and I’m using this term lightly, as I know from experience some of you will disagree with my definition of normal).

I know this is long, but there are so many girl names I love!

I love [name]Eira[/name]!!! Sad, it’s the middle name portion.

I like the sound of [name]Selene[/name] [name]Eira[/name].

[flamingo]

I think [name]Oriana[/name] is a great first, and I like it with these middles (all without an ‘a’ at the end)…

[name]Oriana[/name] [name]Iris[/name]
[name]Oriana[/name] [name]Charis[/name]
[name]Oriana[/name] [name]Celeste[/name]
[name]Oriana[/name] [name]Phoebe[/name]

[name]Oriana[/name] feels unique, uncommon, yet very accessible. Sorry, I’m no good at making 2-middle-combos, but I thought I’d at least give it a try with firsts and 1 middle.

[name]Feel[/name] good, and good luck! I know it’s not easy with 2 pregnancies (and 2 babies, G-d willing!) back to back, but you’re strong and you’ll handle it gracefully!

[sp11]

I like [name]Olympia[/name] [name]Chloe[/name]

[alicevictorious]

[name]Love[/name] [name]Olympia[/name], [name]Pandora[/name] & [name]Circe[/name]. I love [name]Titania[/name] and [name]Eulalia[/name] too, but probably more in the middle.

From your middle list I love [name]Arcadia[/name], [name]Daphne[/name], [name]Noor[/name], [name]Sybilla[/name] & [name]Sylvia[/name].

In terms of a combination…

[name]Olympia[/name] [name]Daphne[/name] [name]Arcadia[/name]
[name]Pandora[/name] [name]Daphne[/name] [name]Eulalia[/name]

Great list, by the way!

[melissac]

I lean towards [name]Olympia[/name]

what about [name]Delphine[/name]?

I love your list! Very beautiful and interesting sounding names! A few combos that I like:

[name]Xenia[/name] [name]Noor[/name]
[name]Xenia[/name] [name]Isis[/name]
[name]Amoret[/name] [name]Eos[/name] [name]Sybilla[/name]
[name]Zenobia[/name] [name]Alcyone[/name]

There are so many possibilities though! I’m not a big fan of double middles, (especially with these long, unique names) but if you love it go for it! Best of luck!

[bonfireazalea]

Congratulations [name]Ottilie[/name]! It does feel like just yesterday Roo was born (and named…), but I’m sure you’ll do wonderfully.

As for names, just a quick glance through the lists I can’t see anything I [name]DON[/name]'T like! I’m not great at making combos but I’ll try:

[name]Melusine[/name] [name]Olympia[/name] [name]Noor[/name]
Belphoebe Hespera [name]Eirene[/name]
[name]Titania[/name] Hecate [name]Isis[/name]
[name]Genoveva[/name] Bastet [name]Eulalie[/name] (instead of [name]Eulalia[/name])
Niniane [name]Arcadia[/name] [name]Eos[/name]
Polyhymnia [name]Selene[/name] Lisanor
[name]Fiammetta[/name] [name]Circe[/name] [name]Endellion[/name]
[name]Atalanta[/name] [name]Zephyrine[/name] Loveday
[name]Hypatia[/name] Elbereth [name]Phoebe[/name]
[name]Ceridwen[/name] Argante Liriope
Hespera [name]Sybilla[/name] Belphoebe
[name]Genoveva[/name] Lyonesse [name]Phoebe[/name]
Messalina [name]Olwen[/name] Hecate
[name]Amoret[/name] Chione Florimell
[name]Eulalia[/name] Cyrene [name]Nephele[/name]
[name]Amarantha[/name] Melpomene [name]Noor[/name]
[name]Boudicca[/name] [name]Clemency[/name] [name]Endellion[/name]

Whoops, just realized there should be a “normal” name in each combo! [name]Just[/name] wanted to share the above in case they gave you inspiration. Does there have to be a “normal” name if one of them lends itself to a “normal” nickname- e.g. [name]Phoebe[/name] for Belphoebe, [name]Nina[/name] for Niniane? I got carried away by the idea anyone is even considering names like these, I guess!

[sleepysessha]

I am fiercely selfishly excited to be doing this again so soon rather than enduring a three-year hiatus or some such. I just had to admit that up front

You know what I’m going to ask: any imagery in mind for this baby? Should the name match Ditaroo’s spirit or be a whole different feeling entirely? You know me, I work best from an abstract concept

FN Loves:
[name]Amarantha[/name]
[name]Amoret[/name]
Belphoebe
[name]Callisto[/name]
[name]Ceridwen[/name]
[name]Circe[/name]
[name]Fiammetta[/name]
Gwenllian
Liriope
Lyonesse
[name]Melusine[/name]
[name]Morgana[/name]
Niniane
[name]Oriana[/name]
[name]Selene[/name]
[name]Titania[/name]

FN Likes but not Loves:
[name]Atalanta[/name] - didn’t Mr. Otter veto this one?
Bellicent
[name]Eulalia[/name]
Euphrosyne
Hespera
[name]Olympia[/name]
[name]Pandora[/name]
[name]Xenia[/name]
[name]Zenobia[/name]

Veto Points - something to be sensitive about when choosing a sibling for [name]Aphrodite[/name]…it would be really tough to have a name that is less aesthetically pleasing when your sister is named after the goddess of beauty. some of my vetoes are for those reasons.
[name]Boudicca[/name] - awkward after [name]Aphrodite[/name], despite the awesome namesake Perhaps Boadicea instead?
Florimell - over-the-top in a flouncing ruffled beribboned princess sort of way. Especially when paired with sister [name]Aphrodite[/name], it just seems all fluff and no substance.
[name]Genoveva[/name] - [name]Genevieve[/name] pairs better with [name]Aphrodite[/name]
[name]Godiva[/name] - do they have the chocolate across the pond?? because in [name]America[/name], that is everyone’s first thought…you’re naming your daughter after chocolate.
[name]Hypatia[/name] - veto points for the menstrual story
Melpomene - not going to lie, I say this name and all I hear is “My [name]Little[/name] Pony/MLP”
Messalina - I love you, sweets, but you can’t have one daughter named [name]Aphrodite[/name] and another whose name literally includes the word “mess.” [name]Melisandre[/name]? [name]Melissa[/name]? [name]Melusine[/name]?
Polyhymnia - same as with Messalina, unfortunately. you just can’t pair these two…Polyhymnia has enough teasing potential on her own
[name]Roxana[/name] - seems very coarse and somewhat jarring compared to your other choices.
[name]Tanaquil[/name] - this sounds a bit like the name of a hedgehog pokemon…perhaps her other epithet, [name]Caia[/name] [name]Caecilia[/name], could lend some inspiration?

Middles I’m splitting up into “normal” and “not normal” in order to better prep for combo making!

Normal:
[name]Celeste[/name]
[name]Charis[/name]
[name]Chloe[/name]
[name]Daphne[/name]
[name]Giselle[/name] - this one is dangling over the veto list by virtue of the famous model, although the ballet is exquisite enough to save her…for the moment
[name]Iris[/name]
[name]Isis[/name] - leaving this in “normal” because she’s so well known
[name]Lyra[/name]
[name]Ophelia[/name] - same as [name]Isis[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name]
[name]Sylvia[/name]
[name]Yvaine[/name]

Not normal:
[name]Alcyone[/name]
Aradia
[name]Arcadia[/name]
Argante
Bastet
Chione
Cissea
Cyrene
[name]Eira[/name]
[name]Eirene[/name]
Elbereth
[name]Endellion[/name]
[name]Eos[/name]
Hecate
Loveday - only you could pull this off, beautiful. It would be an ADORABLE tie to [name]Aphrodite[/name], given the love goddess meaning. [name]Just[/name] don’t pair her with [name]Amoret[/name]!
[name]Nephele[/name]
[name]Noor[/name]
[name]Olwen[/name]
[name]Signe[/name]
[name]Sybilla[/name]
[name]Thalia[/name]
Tinuviel
[name]Vashti[/name]
Villanelle
[name]Zephyrine[/name]

Middle Veto Points:
[name]Berenice[/name] - [name]Saint[/name] Bernards
[name]Blodwen[/name] - does not pair well with sister’s flowing liquid name
[name]Clemency[/name] - I struggle to get past the pardoning criminals thing
[name]Idony[/name]/Idunn - “I dunno”
Lisanor - [name]Arthur[/name]'s potential mistress? I shy away from this one…
Oenone - impossible to pronounce
Ursaly - so obscure as to appear made up. [name]Ursa[/name], [name]Ursula[/name], or [name]Ursuline[/name] instead? Although I wouldn’t recommend [name]Ursula[/name] for a sister of [name]Aphrodite[/name].

This post is getting ridiculously long, so I’m going to work up combos in a separate one. Ciao for now!

I’m dividing the list into names I love, like, are unusable or don’t like too start, then doing ‘normal’ and not ‘normal’ midlles. A PP said the sibling’s name is [name]Aphrodite[/name], love that!

[name]Callisto[/name]
[name]Circe[/name]
[name]Fiammetta[/name]
[name]Melusine[/name]
[name]Morgana[/name]
[name]Oriana[/name]

Florimell- like but [name]Aphrodite[/name] and Florimell are not a great sibset [name]IMO[/name]
[name]Genoveva[/name]-love but would always be asked “[name]Geneva[/name]? Or [name]Genevieve[/name]?”
Lyonesse- I know the Arthurian history, but I think most people will just see a misspelling
Messalina- [name]Goddess[/name] of beauty and a mess.
Polyhymnia- misspelling, like the Greek muse reference. [name]Clio[/name] or [name]Thalia[/name]?

I really love [name]Circe[/name], [name]Callisto[/name], or [name]Selene[/name] with [name]Aphrodite[/name], so those are the ones used in the combos. But would two -ee endings (Aphrodite and Circe be too much to say for introductions?

[name]Circe[/name] [name]Giselle[/name] [name]Hypatia[/name]
[name]Circe[/name] [name]Morgana[/name] [name]Nephele[/name]- too much sorceress?

Ooh, replies!!!

Mrs [name]Anton[/name]; [name]Eira[/name] is very pretty, but it’s reserved for the middle slot. I do like [name]Selene[/name] [name]Eira[/name] though.

Flamingo; thank you, I do like [name]Oriana[/name] too, and it’s beautiful with [name]Celeste[/name]!

sp; thanks, a bit plain for me, but lovely.

AliceVictorious; thanks! Those are some of my very favourites… I like both combos very much!

melissac; [name]Delphine[/name] is gorgeous, and it’s been on and off my list, but it’s off for two reasons: 1) I know a girl by this name and 2) I loathe dolphins.

Clocktower; Thank you!! [name]Melusine[/name] [name]Charis[/name] [name]Celeste[/name] is beautiful! The others too, but this one caught my eye immediately.

c@29; Thanks for those combos, I love [name]Amoret[/name] [name]Oriana[/name] Cissea (feels all pink and golden wrapped in ivy) and Messalina [name]Iris[/name] Elbereth! Gorgeous.

emjae; thanks, yes, two middles might seem over the top, but it’s tradition in bf’s family, so… I do like [name]Xenia[/name] [name]Noor[/name] and [name]Zenobia[/name] [name]Alcyone[/name] a lot!

bonfire; Thanks, and I know, right? Three months on tuesday… this was definitely not planned. Your combos are great and inspirational! I guess I should’ve specified more about the “normal” names, Belphoebe for example who has [name]Phoebe[/name] in it is fine with two weird middles. And Niniane too ([name]Nina[/name] and [name]Anne[/name]/[name]Anna[/name]). I love [name]Atalanta[/name] [name]Zephyrine[/name] Loveday & Niniane [name]Arcadia[/name] [name]Eos[/name] very much! And the others are very inspirational, a great place to start! Thanks, sweetie!

[name]Mischa[/name]; thank you so much. I love basically all of your combos, Belphoebe [name]Iris[/name] Loveday, [name]Oriana[/name] [name]Isis[/name] Tinuviel, [name]Tanaquil[/name] [name]Eirene[/name] [name]Noor[/name]… let’s face it, they’re all gorgeous!!!

[name]Neptune[/name]; thanks for sorting out your favourites. I hope it will be great, too!

Sweet Sessha; Haha, yeah, enjoy yourself! After this one it’ll be a loooong break I think. No imagery yet; I think I’m waiting for the gender revealing ultrasound for that this time! First of all; you rock my woolen socks off. Thanks so much for taking the time to go through the names like that, your veto points are spot on. My man did indeed nix [name]Atalanta[/name] last time around, but I thought maybe this time…? I will always try to make him go for [name]Atalanta[/name]. I’m perfectly happy to have it in the middle though. [name]Tanaquil[/name], a hedgehog pokemon! Oh my, maybe we should give the name to a pet instead. Maybe we’ll get a house-hedgehog in the countryside even… too funny! I think people are pronouncing Idunn wrong. It’s EEd-oon. I think it’s beautiful… and it would honour my grandmother. [name]Clemency[/name], we don’t have the DP in Europe, so it’s not an association over here, and my boyfriend hates [name]Ursula[/name]. And [name]Ursa[/name]. He does however like Ursaly (medieval). Who knows why, he’s bizarre. Thanks sweetiepie!!!

C&PUno; wohoo, yay, you like [name]Zenobia[/name] and Hespera! I love [name]Zenobia[/name] [name]Endellion[/name] [name]Yvaine[/name], [name]Xenobia[/name] Loveday [name]Ophelia[/name], Hespera [name]Ophelia[/name] [name]Yvaine[/name] & Hespera [name]Daphne[/name] [name]Celeste[/name] so much! All beautiful though! Thank you!!

Sessha! Again! With combos! Holy moly me oh my, your imagery’s perfect for each and everyone! I honestly love them all, but I will pick my absolute favourite for each fn: Amaranth [name]Iris[/name] Aradia, [name]Amoret[/name] [name]Isis[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name], Belphoebe [name]Olwen[/name] [name]Yvaine[/name]/Belphoebe [name]Signe[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name], [name]Callisto[/name] Loveday [name]Alcyone[/name], [name]Ceridwen[/name] Elbereth [name]Yvaine[/name], [name]Circe[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] [name]Noor[/name]/[name]Circe[/name] [name]Olwen[/name] Tinuviel, [name]Fiammetta[/name] Hecate [name]Noor[/name], Gwenllian [name]Eos[/name] [name]Arcadia[/name], Liriope [name]Sylvia[/name] Loveday, Lyonesse Villanelle [name]Isis[/name], [name]Melusine[/name] [name]Isis[/name] Tinuviel, [name]Morgana[/name] [name]Zephyrine[/name] [name]Isis[/name], Niniane [name]Iris[/name] [name]Arcadia[/name]/Niniane [name]Sylvaine[/name] [name]Alcyone[/name], Nimue [name]Eira[/name] Tinuviel, [name]Oriana[/name] [name]Isis[/name] Argante, [name]Selene[/name] [name]Olwen[/name] Tinuviel/[name]Selene[/name] Elbereth [name]Yvaine[/name] & [name]Titania[/name] [name]Sylvia[/name] [name]Noor[/name]. About your concern regarding Niniane; I’ve asked people (people I know, not random ones) about the ninny thing, and no one uses that word. I don’t think it’s a thing over here, really! And [name]Ceridwen[/name]; I see her very wisdomouos and wicca too; but in winter… and this will (as far as I can tell) be a winter baby. (If I’m 5 weeks along I’ll be due mid february!)

tfzolghadr; thanks, I love those too!

I will do an edit later! Thanks so much, you lovely lovelies!

[ottilie]

Oh, [name]Merry[/name], you posted while I replied! Thank you for arranging the names into neat little categories for me. I agree with a lot of what you say. The endings in [name]Aphrodite[/name] and [name]Circe[/name] doesn’t bother me, the rest of the names are so different, sound wise and syllable wise.

I love [name]Circe[/name] [name]Oriana[/name] [name]Melusine[/name], [name]Callisto[/name] Hespera [name]Celeste[/name] and [name]Selene[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] [name]Amoret[/name] Thanks!

[Amydomsmom]

Whoa Sessh! I’ll let you take the reins on this list, since you are super amazing at it. But, I do have an easy top 5. My favorites, complete with stars:

***[name]Ceridwen[/name]- is February wintery enough for you? If so then you’re already done… Close the thread. Hehe =]
**[name]Olympia[/name]- oooh put me on the list of favoring this one, gorgeous, [name]Olympus[/name]-y (should be a word)
*[name]Zenobia[/name]- a really great late-comer to the list from last time, she’s lovely and spunky and holds her own with [name]Dita[/name]
*[name]Oriana[/name]- well I can tell that the O names are going to be my fave’s this time around, but [name]Olympia[/name] is stronger imo
Gwenllian- very majestic and feminine, I think she can definitely make a combo to measure up with big sis’s name

6. Hespera- still a beautiful choice, but perhaps not yet because she’s so floral and garden-like
7. [name]Titania[/name]- I haven’t had enough time to fully consider this one yet, but first impression is that it’s awesome
8. [name]Eulalia[/name]- very pretty! But I worry if it’ll end up being enough to stand up to [name]Aphrodite[/name]
9. [name]Fiammetta[/name]- probably not fitting for this little one, but I will not be the one to eliminate her as an option, haha
10. [name]Melusine[/name]- I was trying to give you a top 10, but I think the top 5 is more accurate. Not sure if I love love these

Middle only:
[name]Amoret[/name] (I’m adding her here)
[name]Arcadia[/name]
[name]Celeste[/name] (I might prefer [name]Selene[/name] but haven’t decided yet)
([name]Constance[/name]??)
[name]Daphne[/name]
[name]Eira[/name]
[name]Endellion[/name]
[name]Giselle[/name]
[name]Iris[/name]
(Liriope/Niniane- adding these here cause of the endings but I love them)
[name]Noor[/name]
[name]Olwen[/name]
[name]Ophelia[/name]
[name]Thalia[/name]
Tinuviel
[name]Zephyrine[/name]

[sophluella]

I adore [name]Lyra[/name], [name]Chloe[/name], [name]Phoebe[/name], [name]Sylvia[/name], and [name]Ophelia[/name]- they all make beautiful middle names, if not first, too! I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Titania[/name] (very [name]Shakespeare[/name]! Midsummer is an amazing play, and [name]Titania[/name] makes a beautiful namesake). I also think [name]Selene[/name], [name]Callisto[/name], and [name]Pandora[/name] are great! I like the name [name]Circe[/name] a lot, but there will be a lot of association with the Game of Thrones character, though she uses a different spelling. Or for those who have read the Odyssey, it’ll spark memories of the witch who turned [name]Odysseus[/name]’ men to pigs. I fear the same fate for [name]Morgana[/name], who was a sorceress…I have nothing against the names personally, I think they’re beautiful, but I’m just afraid of the connections that people may make. Best of luck with your naming endeavors! If you need any more names, here are a few that I hope you might like:
[name]Aurora[/name]
[name]Lita[/name]
[name]Eliora[/name]
Caliope
[name]Tal[/name]
[name]Capucine[/name]
Calluna
[name]Roux[/name]
[name]Anastasia[/name]
Pfeifer/[name]Fifer[/name]
[name]Violetta[/name]
[name]Calix[/name]
[name]Chrysanthemum[/name]
[name]Henriette[/name]
[name]Evangelina[/name]
[name]Theodosia[/name]
[name]Theodora[/name]
