Luther for a girl?

My DH, and I have trouble finding Girl’s names we both like…
We love [name_m]Luther[/name_m], for a boy…
But are now thinking it is very usable for a girl?
What do you think?
Other suggestions?
Names we both kind of like…or one of us loves and other detests…
[name_f]Eliana[/name_f]
Achaia
[name_f]Aria[/name_f]
EttaMae
[name_f]Mable[/name_f]
[name_f]Jemimah[/name_f]
[name_u]Logan[/name_u]
[name_u]Reese[/name_u]
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmelyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Emma[/name_f]

Not suitable for a girl. At all.

Nothing feminine about it.

It does not suit a girl at all. The er ending makes it very masculine. [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] ( prn loo-sha)?

[name_m]Luther[/name_m] is a man, not a little girl. Here are some you might like: [name_f]Keziah[/name_f], [name_f]Lourdes[/name_f], [name_f]Luciana[/name_f], Lucrece, [name_f]Luna[/name_f], [name_f]Lauren[/name_f], [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f], [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], [name_f]Allegra[/name_f].

[name_m]Luther[/name_m] is a harsh sounding male name. I would not want it for my name as a female.

Ideas from your list:

[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Alina[/name_f]
[name_f]Maven[/name_f]
[name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_m]Sutton[/name_m]

[name_m]Luther[/name_m] is a very bad choice for a girl. I love love love [name_f]Mabel[/name_f].

Hmm…
[name_m]Luther[/name_m] is a gorgeous name, conjuring up images of [name_m]Martin[/name_m] [name_m]Luther[/name_m] [name_m]King[/name_m] jr and his powerful words, message, and presence. [name_m]Luther[/name_m] is associated with such an interesting time in American [name_m]History[/name_m], [name_m]Luther[/name_m] is just such a great name! I totally understand why you love this name, but hello it’s so masculine!! I would never use this name for a girl.

From your list I like…
[name_f]Eliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Aria[/name_f]
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Emma[/name_f]

[name_u]Logan[/name_u] is a boy’s name. [name_u]Reese[/name_u] in my eyes only works as a middle name. I prefer [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] too [name_f]Jemimah[/name_f] however the racist slur associated with this name is a turn off. EttaMae joint together as one name is strange [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] looks better but I prefer [name_f]Etta[/name_f] with a longer middle name for example [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]. [name_f]Emmelyn[/name_f] sounds sweet but prefer [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f].

I really adore the combination [name_f]Aria[/name_f] [name_u]Reese[/name_u] : )

I don’t like [name_m]Luther[/name_m] for a girl at all. It’s so masculine. Maybe something girly with the [name_f]Lu[/name_f] sound?

[name_m]Luther[/name_m] is a male name. Consider [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], [name_f]Louise[/name_f], [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f], or [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] instead.

I don’t like it on a girl. [name_f]Love[/name_f] it on a boy though!

From your girls list I like [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] (separate works better!) and [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] the best.
If you are planning to use [name_m]Luther[/name_m] for a future son I see a sister for him named [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f].
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] and [name_m]Luther[/name_m] would be lovely.
Or even [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]/ [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]/ [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] nn [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] for a sister.

…In fact, a ‘to die for’ sibset would be [name_m]Luther[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m], [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] and [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]. swoon

Good luck!

As a rule, I’m not opposed to boy names on girls as some Berries, but I think [name_m]Luther[/name_m] on a girl is just bad. Bad. I agree with ou that it’s a great name. It’s on my boy list; I love it. But its just not a girls name. At all.
Your other names are nice. I particularly like [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] and [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]. I love [name_f]Jemima[/name_f], but if you live in the US, I’m not sure it’s a good idea.
Some other names ou might like

[name_f]Louisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Caia[/name_f]
[name_f]Opal[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Greta[/name_f]
[name_f]Lark[/name_f]
[name_u]August[/name_u]/[name_f]Augusta[/name_f]

Please tell me this is a joke.

It’s not a girls’ name, so no, it could not work for a girl. About as distinctly unfeminine as you could get.

You might like [name_f]Esther[/name_f] - same ending (different pronunciation, obviously) but decidedly female.

That was my initial thought when I saw the thread.

[name_m]Luther[/name_m] is a very harsh sounding boys name.

I actaully found it sweet . You can call her [name_f]Lu[/name_f] & [name_f]Lulu[/name_f] . If you love the name go for it and dont listen others opinion :slight_smile:

Not for a girl, absolutely not. You might as well name her [name_m]Rodger[/name_m] it’s so masculine.

If it’s an honour name how about [name_f]Martina[/name_f]?

big no from me. i do love [name_f]Aria[/name_f] though.

If she didn’t want to listen to others opinions, what would be the point of asking about it on a message board?

To get an idea from what other people general opinions are .Thats what i do . I was saying to her to listen the opinions & advise but in the end if she loves the name , there isnt anyone who can stop her from using it . And this is the right thing .

Ps i apologise if my comment was seem disrespectfull on other opinions . I really wasnt meaning that :slight_smile:
