So we’ve really already got our girls name picked out. But due to the fact that we picked out our perfect female name so early on, I have done very little research into female names (whereas I’ve done quite a lot of male name research). But I’m interested in knowing what other names are out there that I’m not aware of due to this lack of research. (I also find that when I read forum posts about male names, I have a clear idea within several seconds of reading a name whether or not I really like that name a lot or not (usually), but with girls names, it seems that I don’t often have this immediate recognition of my thoughts on a name.)
So, below I’ve listed some names I like. What other names do you think I would appreciate based on what you perceive my name taste to be?

There are some amazing names on these lists. Seriously, wow. Good thing I write stories, cuz though I may not be able to use these names for the upcoming kid (if we have a third though, some of these would be awesome), at least I can use some of them in a short story or book. The only problem with learning of so many awesome names is it makes me want to use one of them, but our choice of Mayna is pretty much set in stone (for several important reasons). Though I do have to say, just looking specifically at the name, there are actually quite a few I like more than Mayna.
@ottilie- Awesome list! Of course. [name]Don[/name]'t think you have the capacity to make a bad list. My favorites on the first read through are probably [name]Ariadne[/name], [name]Cassia[/name], [name]Cressida[/name], [name]Euphemia[/name], [name]Evadne[/name], [name]Ophelia[/name] and [name]Phaedra[/name] (which all happen to be Greek names… interesting)
@bonfire- My favorites from your seriously awesome list would be [name]Calanthe[/name], [name]Melisande[/name], [name]Anais[/name] (though I’m not quite sure how to pronounce it), [name]Viveca[/name] and [name]Adalia[/name].
@alzora- Wow. Amazing. My favorites from your list would be [name]Acacia[/name] (maybe my favorite from any of the lists actually), [name]Amelina[/name], [name]Annora[/name], [name]Avalon[/name], [name]Callista[/name], [name]Samara[/name] and [name]Viviana[/name].
@geekname- I really like [name]Aviva[/name], [name]Azenor[/name] and [name]Senna[/name] from your list.
So many awesome names! I might have to give out a bunch of them to future students of mine who ask for English names (I live in [name]China[/name]).
