Lucy Hallelujah and Who?

Hello!

I’ve been reconstructing my boy name list for a few weeks, and now it’s time to turn my attention to my girl name list. I’m fairly happy with it, but it does feel a bit stale, so I’d love some new (or old) suggestions!

Below, I’ve included a moodboard, a few “portraits” of my top three girl names using aesthetic typography, and a list of my longtime favorites and current crushes. I hope any or all of these things serve as inspiration. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Longtime Loves:

[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Hallelujah[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_u]Love[/name_u]
[name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f]

Summary

I’ve been searching for the perfect replacement middle name for [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] since deciding that [name_f]Beloved[/name_f] isn’t usable, and right now I’m loving [name_f]Joy[/name_f]!

[name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Remember[/name_f]
[name_f]Glory[/name_f] [name_f]Arabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Theodora[/name_f]
[name_f]Mercy[/name_f] [name_f]Christabell[/name_f]
[name_u]Haven[/name_u] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]

Current Crushes:

[name_f]Lydia[/name_f], [name_f]Lilliet[/name_f], [name_f]Mavis[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Myrtle[/name_f], [name_f]Pleasance[/name_f], [name_f]Prue[/name_f], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Linnea[/name_f], and [name_f]Esther[/name_f]

Moodboard + Typography Portraits:

Summary

ETA: forgot the moodboard!

So, what names would you add to my list? They could be new suggestions, old suggestions, anything at all! And if you have any reasoning behind you’re choices, I’d love to hear it.

Much love,

[name_u]Theo[/name_u] :rainbow:

Firstly I’m squealing in name nerd!!!

There are so many beautiful names. Of course [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Hallelujah[/name_f] is very you and I adore [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_u]Love[/name_u]. [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] is very warm with cottagecore imagery.

From your secondary list I love [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] and [name_f]Mercy[/name_f] [name_f]Christabell[/name_f]. I actually find [name_f]Mercy[/name_f] [name_f]Christabell[/name_f] heavenly she’s so gorgeous.

[name_f]My[/name_f] suggestions…

[name_f]Constance[/name_f] [name_f]Liliwen[/name_f] ~ I think [name_f]Constance[/name_f] really is your vibe and I’m not sure if she’s on your radar but she feels in keeping with the likes of [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] along with being a puritan virtue choice like [name_f]Mercy[/name_f] and [name_f]Verity[/name_f]. [name_f]Constance[/name_f] is elegant, timeless and has a cottagecore feel. I know you like names with that lilting L sound along with nature connections. She’s surprising and whimsical which I thinks works with your overall aesthetic.

[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Charity[/name_f] ~ I think [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] is a name that just feels very you. She’s elegant, whimsical and has lovely fairy references which I think is very you along with associations with [name_m]King[/name_m] [name_u]Arthur[/name_u] which I think you’d love. [name_f]Charity[/name_f] is a lovely virtue name which I think feels very connected to your list. I also feel that the concept of charity is connected to your [name_u]Christian[/name_u] faith so feels perfect for you. Also I remember feedback you provided for me concerning loving [name_f]Evie[/name_f]. Well [name_f]Evie[/name_f] definitely works as a nickname for [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]!

[name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] ~ Finally this is my last suggestion for you and I feel this name is delightful. [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] is the Scottish variant of [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] so is connected to G-d through her meaning which is precious. [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] also feels whimsical and magical I have imagery surrounding a pebbled beach on a windy day wearing an oversized jumper hair blowing wildly in the wind. The nickname [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] is very sweet. I liked [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] in the middle name slot as I know she’s a name you’ve admired she’s beautiful, summery and has biblical history. I think [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] shines bright on your list especially with [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]

Moving away from my suggestions onto your current list personally I feel your top three are smashing despite being slightly sad to see [name_f]Beloved[/name_f] not there. Regarding your secondary list there are only a few twists I would make

[name_f]Ada[/name_f] Remembrance ~ part of me prefers the way Remembrance sounds [name_f]Ada[/name_f] the flow feels a little clearer with the whole name providing a dark academia feel which I like.

[name_u]Haven[/name_u] [name_f]Beatriz[/name_f] ~ I loved the idea of using a [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] name with [name_u]Haven[/name_u] as I like the idea of the mixing the two naming styles along with how the name translates as this happy safe blessed place. However I feel that I wanted to jazz [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] up a little by using [name_f]Beatriz[/name_f]. I think the overall sound is so sparkly and the z is beyond cool.

I love your list so much. It’s so cohesive, timeless but interesting, and just generally lovely.

So many great ideas so far, I do love the previous suggestions of [name_f]Clemency[/name_f] and [name_f]Clarity[/name_f] (she’s one of my favourite virtue names!) for you. From your current crushes, [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Pleasance[/name_f] would make a wonderful addition to your list. She’s so sweet. [name_f]Esther[/name_f] is another one I think finds nicely with your girls.

Some I really love for you:
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Pleasance[/name_f]
[name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Brilliance[/name_f]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] [name_u]Honor[/name_u]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Clemency[/name_f]
[name_f]Linnea[/name_f] [name_f]Prue[/name_f] / [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] [name_f]Prudence[/name_f]

Other ideas (not totally sold):
Francia [name_f]Clarity[/name_f] — I’m obsessed with this, but I’m not sure if it’s quite to your taste.
[name_u]Blythe[/name_u] [name_f]Concordia[/name_f]
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] [name_u]Peace[/name_u]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Constance[/name_f]
[name_f]Mavis[/name_f] [name_u]Blessing[/name_u] — love, but to me she feels darker and moodier than your others.
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Kismet[/name_f]

The moodboard is adorable! These are based on the names that it inspired:
[name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f], [name_f]Danika[/name_f] (Danica), [name_u]Willow[/name_u], [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], [name_f]Cassiana[/name_f], [name_u]Ivy[/name_u], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], [name_f]Sadie[/name_f], [name_u]Sage[/name_u], [name_f]Sian[/name_f], [name_f]Salome[/name_f], [name_f]Samuela[/name_f], [name_u]Selby[/name_u] ‘willow farm’, [name_f]Shona[/name_f], [name_u]Sheridan[/name_u], [name_f]Sigourney[/name_f], [name_f]Sienna[/name_f], [name_u]Sinclair[/name_u].

Some combos - [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Hallelujah[/name_f] &…
[name_u]Romilly[/name_u] [name_f]Prue[/name_f] (Romilly fits the aesthetic)
[name_f]Danica[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] (I love the starry connection for you)
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] [name_f]Sadie[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_u]Fern[/name_u] (Fern fits the aesthetic)
[name_u]Selby[/name_u] [name_f]Lilliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Marsaili[/name_f] [name_u]Willow[/name_u] (Marsaili fits the aesthetic and sounds similar to [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], both of which made me guess that you might like it, although they may be too similar for sister names)
[name_f]Millicent[/name_f] [name_u]Holly[/name_u]
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Verity[/name_f] (I like Agnes’ meaning for you)
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Pleasance[/name_f]
[name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] [name_u]Ivy[/name_u] (Ivy because of the [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] association)

[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Hallelujah[/name_f] & [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] [name_f]Praise[/name_f]

(Cornelia [name_u]Peace[/name_u] or [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_u]Psalm[/name_u] would also be beautiful!)

[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Hallelujah[/name_f] & [name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Glory[/name_f] is another idea I had.

Of the ones on your list, I think [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Remember[/name_f] is perfect with [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Hallelujah[/name_f]!
