So we recently found out that we’re pregnant and couldn’t be more excited. My husband and I love to talk baby names but just haven’t found a girl name that makes either of us go “this is the one.” We’ve decided if we have a boy that’s we’re going to name him [name_u]Brighton[/name_u] [name_m]Asher[/name_m]. But the girl name seems to be a bit tricky, we have a bunch of names that we like, but there isn’t one that necessarily stands out in the crowd.
I really want a name that is feminine but also strong. I love the idea of a name with nickname possibilities. And while I love some names that are very popular, I’d like to stay away from something too “mainstream” but not something that’s too far out there. I also want to mention our last name is one syllable.
Any ideas? Below are names that we like to give you an idea of our style:
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f]
Maizley
[name_f]Marcella[/name_f] (more for middle name though)
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
Pemberley
[name_f]Emelyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Lavinia[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeva[/name_f]
[name_f]Wrenley[/name_f]
[name_u]Brighton[/name_u] [name_m]Asher[/name_m] is adorable!
Here are some suggestions for a little girl:
[name_f]Freya[/name_f]
[name_f]Cadence[/name_f]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f]
[name_f]Sabine[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
[name_f]Camila[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Mila[/name_f])
[name_f]Gwen[/name_f]
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] (nn [name_u]Lou[/name_u])
[name_f]Maren[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] (can stand alone or be a nickname for just about any -et or -ette name)
[name_u]Bristol[/name_u]
[name_u]Auden[/name_u]
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f]
[name_u]Marlowe[/name_u]
[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Winnie[/name_f])
[name_f]Esme[/name_f]
[name_f]Greer[/name_f]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_f]Greta[/name_f]
[name_f]Cornelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Briar[/name_f]
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f]
[name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Celia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Opal[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_f]Savannah[/name_f]
For some reason Pemberly just struck me! (Oh Pride and Prejudice…) I love all of the cute nickname possibilities, Pem, [name_f]Bebe[/name_f]…So so cute!
Pemberly [name_f]Marcella[/name_f] is so darling!
I also really love [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], it’s so sweet!
Here’s a little list, but I still LOOOVEE Pemberly
I would have done middle name combos as well, but it’s late here and I’d rather you weed through everyone’s suggestions first and decide what you really like =]
I hope this list is helpful at all.
Btw [name_u]Brighton[/name_u] [name_m]Asher[/name_m] is a great boy combo.
To me you have two styles - funky unisex (i.e. [name_f]Wrenley[/name_f] and Pemberley etc) and then vintage chic ([name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Lucia[/name_f])
So I’m going to try an suggest names that are vintage / classic that sound a bit more modern. [name_m]How[/name_m] about:
[name_f]Romilly[/name_f] (or [name_f]Romola[/name_f])
[name_u]Yardley[/name_u]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Cosima[/name_f]
[name_f]Saskia[/name_f] (how cute is the nn Sass?)
Tasma
[name_f]Mimi[/name_f]
[name_f]Sidonie[/name_f]
[name_f]Giselle[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Gigi[/name_f])
[name_f]Laetitia[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Letty[/name_f])
[name_f]Zelda[/name_f]
