Looking for a name that would match our criteria

Girl Names

Hello Berries,

I’m looking for a girl name

  • uncommon but not too out there
  • boho but definitely not something new with no background history
  • easily pronounceable in both French and English (we live in France for now).
  • it has to go with Liv (M@rlowe Autumn) & Elliott (C@spian August).

The name I’m looking for is:

  • Billie
  • Brune
  • Colette
  • Romée

We also considered Alma and Ysée (e-zay, it’s actually our daughter’s 4th name). I love Thelma but my husband vetoed this name.
Thank you

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] @McCharlie!

I personally love [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] and [name_f]Lizette[/name_f] :heart:

Of these four in the poll, [name_f]Romee[/name_f] is the clear winner to me. But I actually think you already nixed the name you’re looking for: [name_u]Alma[/name_u].

How about Yaelle

[name_f]Romée[/name_f] is wonderful!!

I voted for [name_f]Colette[/name_f] but I like [name_u]Alma[/name_u] even more.

I’d also suggest [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_u]Alva[/name_u], [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f], Louna/Luna, [name_f]Flora[/name_f] and [name_f]Astrid[/name_f].

Thank you. Liv is sometimes called Livette, so that wouldn’t work :wink:

I’m not a fan of names ending in ael(le), sorry.

We did consider Cleo, but I think I don’t love it enough for one of my children. I prefer the French pronunciation (clay-o) because Clio is a common car brand.
Flora is too close to my name and Sylvie is my aunt’s name. I have thousands of students named Luna/Louna/Lola/Lou Ann/Loan, so no :laughing: My husband likes Astrid, I think I would prefer Aster :slight_smile:
Thank you!

I love [name_f]Brune[/name_f], but according to the poll, it seems like it would work in the US :weary:

Don’t give up on Brune! I’m in the minority but I love Brune for you. It would be unfamiliar to most and I think that generally leads to two initial reactions 1) feeling unenthused or 2) feeling intrigued. I do think the more people hear the name, the more they’ll appreciate its charm. That said, it’s only your opinion that matters.

Side note, while I think Liv and Colette is fabulous, I don’t love the similarities between Elliott and Colette.
