Looking for a Strong, Beautiful but RARE Vintage Name!

I loved the suggestion of [name]Willoughby[/name]. [name]Willoughby[/name] [name]Ann[/name] to honor your mother, nn [name]Willa[/name]?

Sodonie. But no more Sophies, pls, even as a nn!

I love so many of the names posted on this thread!
My daughter’s name is [name]Waverly[/name]. She’s the only one around as far as anybody knows :slight_smile: [name]Unique[/name], Pretty and not a far-out name.

It would be so wonderful if you could honor your mother [name]Leona[/name] with a name that fits your style. [name]How[/name] about…

[name]Linnea[/name] - (the favorite flower of Swedish botanist [name]Carolus[/name] Linnaeus, who named it after himself).

This is an unusual name outside of Scandinavia and has a vintage feel, is a turn on a surname, and is femenine without being too girlie (in my opinion).

[name]Katrina[/name]

Have you considered Schaper as a middle name? Or is your husband not keen at all lol

Well I had fun looking for some ideas for you, Everyones tastes are so different so you may not like any of them! but it was fun all the same, and I found a few new names to add to my favourites.
All the very best :slight_smile:

These aren’t that ‘rare’ but I thought they’d sound good with Copeland.

[name]Millicent[/name] ([name]Millie[/name])
[name]Esme[/name]
[name]Octavia[/name]
[name]Wilhelmina[/name] ([name]Willa[/name])
[name]Magnolia[/name]
[name]Seraphina[/name]

Oooh I like Holloway…

What about Allifair, definitely rare, but still feminine and I could see it with Copeland

I just love the process of picking baby names–even if it’s frustrating. I just recently found out I’m pregnant again and, though I’ve had boys only so far and wouldn’t be too disappointed if I did have a fourth, I’m really hoping to get a chance to comb through some girl names. If it is a girl, I’m pretty sure I’m going to be sticking with [name]Indian[/name]/Persian/Arabic names, but I’ve looked through plenty of other types, too, and my favorite style just so happens to be the old, vintage and classical types.

For you, I think these would do good if you’re looking for something that goes well with Copeland but is more feminine:

[name]DELANEY[/name]
[name]CONSTANCE[/name] (I love, love this name. A nickname could be [name]Connie[/name] or a more off-beat one like Stanzi)
[name]ELOISE[/name]
[name]CLEMENTINE[/name] (You mentioned both you and your husband are fond of [name]Evangeline[/name] and I think this is similar to it.)
[name]MIRABELLE[/name]
[name]MARISOL[/name]
[name]AMARANTHA[/name] ([name]Amara[/name] as nn)
[name]APOLLONIA[/name]
[name]CHRISTELLE[/name]
[name]CRESSIDA[/name]
[name]DAMARIS[/name]
POINSETTIA (Not really my cup of tea, but if you’re looking for an out-there type name…)
ESDELINE
ERMELINDE
[name]GWENDOLYN[/name]
[name]ISABEAU[/name] (If you don’t want the overused [name]Isabella[/name])
[name]JACINTHE[/name]
LAZULI
[name]JESSAMINE[/name]
LETSELINA
LOVIISE (Estonian name)
[name]LUCERNE[/name]
[name]LUCRETIA[/name]
LYCORIS
[name]MEHALIA[/name] (Hebrew)
MONETTE
[name]MORAG[/name]
[name]ODETTE[/name]
[name]PERMELIA[/name]
[name]PERSIS[/name]
[name]PRIMROSE[/name]
PROSERPINA
[name]XANTHIA[/name]
CLEREMONDE
[name]DELICIA[/name]
LACOYA
[name]MARISELA[/name]
[name]MIREYA[/name]
[name]VESPERA[/name]
VISCARIA
IPOMOEA
[name]MIMOSA[/name]
[name]ELYSIA[/name]
CHRYSEIS
[name]CADENCE[/name] ([name]CADEAU[/name], if you want a French touch)
[name]BRIAR[/name]-[name]ROSE[/name]
[name]CAPRICE[/name]
[name]ARTEMISIA[/name] ([name]Missy[/name] for a nick?)

…That’s all I can think of at the moment. I hope they help, though. When are you due? I’d love to know what you guys decide!

Have you got another name ist of your top names?

If you are looking for a less trendy alternative to [name]Harper[/name], how about trying some other, more unique unisex names such as [name]Flynn[/name], [name]Flannery[/name], [name]Rowan[/name] or [name]Rory[/name]?

Good luck!

Bounce :slight_smile:

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but i’ve been crushing hard on the name [name]Melisende[/name]. the name [name]Millicent[/name] was derived from this name so it’s supervintage and doesn’t sound like millitant. THere’s also the french form [name]Melisande[/name] who is the heroine of a great fairytale that was the basis for repunzel. It’s a great story and a little more feminist friendly than your average fairytale.
