I’ve always had trouble with girl names. Here’s a bunch of names I like, but am not sure about. I’d love some suggestions along the same lines.
[name_f]Zippora[/name_f] - Would this be weird for someone who isn’t really religious?
Ophélie - I imagine this would get butchered in the US, but I don’t love [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f].
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
[name_f]Leonie[/name_f]
[name_f]Naomi[/name_f]
The last three are out mostly because I already know people with those names.
I also prefer [name_f]Noemi[/name_f] over [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] and since you seem to have a thing for [name_m]French[/name_m] names, you could use the Noémie/[name_f]Noemie[/name_f] spelling (“no-eh-MEE”). I think that’s far enough from [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] that it won’t matter that you know someone by that name.
I’d steer clear of Ophélie because it might just end up sounding like “awfully”, and [name_f]Zippora[/name_f] is cool but a bit sci-fi [name_f]IMO[/name_f].
Other [name_m]French[/name_m]/stylistically similar names you might like:
[name_f]Zippora[/name_f]- I don’t think it would be weird, but many people will immediately relate to the bible. Regardless, it’s a nice name.
Ophélie- I would stay away from this being in the U.S.
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]- I really like this name. It has a beautiful feel, and I like the “Oh-teal-ya” pronunciation.
[name_f]Leonie[/name_f]- I see this quite often here. It’s nice, but I prefer Leotie.
[name_f]Naomi[/name_f]- I have never been fond of this name.
P.S. I thought [name_f]Neomi[/name_f] was a good blend of [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] and [name_f]Naomi[/name_f]. But I love all 3 ([name_f]Naomi[/name_f], [name_f]Noemi[/name_f], [name_f]Neomi[/name_f])
[name_f]Zippora[/name_f] - I think it’s pretty but it makes me think of Zippy and I hate that
[name_f]Ophelie[/name_f] - I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] this name but I think some people couldn’t pronounce it
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] - This is my favorite!
[name_f]Leonie[/name_f] - dont love it. I like [name_f]Leona[/name_f] better
[name_f]Naomi[/name_f] - I think that is too common
