I’m 38 weeks pregnant with my first child - gender unknown. Boyfriend and I have been struggling with names throughout the pregnancy. For boys, we’re considering [name]Caspian[/name], [name]Edmund[/name], [name]Evander[/name], and [name]Bram[/name]. However, we have no girls names. We want something that’s magical and fantastical - like something that sounds like it should have been a character in a Tolkien novel or a fairy in A Midsummer [name]Night[/name]'s [name]Dream[/name]. However, we don’t want any popular names (we live in [name]England[/name]). [name]Do[/name] you have any suggestions?
Well, Welsh names are your friend!: [name]Ceridwen[/name], [name]Arianwen[/name], [name]Guinevere[/name], [name]Eluned[/name], Gweneira, Eirwen, [name]Mairwen[/name]
On the Cornish front, there’s [name]Elowen[/name]
Gwenaëlle, a French name, might really work for you. Virtually unheard of, though I don’t know why, it’s beautiful and has a lovely fantastical quality to it.
sorceress; I like [name]Elodie[/name], [name]Morgana[/name], and [name]Aurora[/name]. A lot of these names I like, but they’re too popular for me {[name]Emma[/name], [name]Alice[/name], [name]Phoebe[/name] etc}
stormshine; I like [name]Lyra[/name]. I also like [name]Luna[/name], but my cousin named her daughter that, which sucks because [name]Luna[/name] is one of the few girls names that I ever loved, and now I can’t use it.
bellerose; I like [name]Persephone[/name], but I don’t think I’d use it. I like [name]India[/name] too, but it’s too popular for me.
cosmonaut; These names are a little too out there for me, for the most part. I’m also not sure they’d age well personally. Right now I’m leaning towards [name]Edmund[/name] or [name]Bram[/name] for a boy, because they sound great on any kind of guy, whereas I can only imagine [name]Arianwen[/name] or [name]Ceridwen[/name] on a very beautiful young girl. I can’t see an older woman with the name. I’m also not a huge fan of “[name]Gwen[/name]” names I can’t decide if I like [name]Seraphine[/name] or not…
Am gonna assume you already thought about [name]Arwen[/name] and [name]Eowyn[/name] before. [name]How[/name] about:
[name]Amara[/name] (from Tolkien’s book, but don’t ask me which character, I just remember it’s one of the fairy’s name)
[name]Hannelore[/name]
[name]Junia[/name]
Rusalka
[name]Morwenna[/name]
[name]Edith[/name]
[name]Euphemia[/name]
[name]Cassia[/name]
[name]Mimosa[/name]
[name]Amandine[/name]
[name]Nerissa[/name] (made me think about the naiads)
Celandine (a Tolkien name, but only mentioned on the family tree)
Belladona (Belladona Took)
[name]Melisande[/name]
Eirlys
[name]Dina[/name]
[name]Elanor[/name] (Samwise’s daughter)
[name]Eglantine[/name]
[name]Estella[/name]
[name]Freya[/name]
[name]Jessamine[/name]
[name]Vana[/name]
So glad that you like [name]Bram[/name]! DS is [name]Bram[/name] (pronounced like pram with a B) and I always get complimented on his name. I think [name]Bram[/name] [name]Edmund[/name] would be quite dashing.
Trying not to have too many repeats:
[name]Elowen[/name] (I actually think this is perfect for you, but I totally get it if you don’t like the wen names)
[name]Sylvie[/name] (I already suggested this for you, but I still think its great. It means from the forest and I think it would work great for little girl or grown woman)
[name]Aura[/name] (since you like [name]Aurora[/name])
[name]Araminta[/name] (maybe too frilly)
[name]Apollonia[/name]
Avila
[name]Aviva[/name]
[name]Avalon[/name]
[name]Cosima[/name]
[name]Lotus[/name] (probably too out there)
[name]Eulalia[/name]
[name]Isidora[/name]
[name]Lyra[/name]
[name]Nova[/name] (since you like [name]Luna[/name])
[name]Isis[/name]
[name]Rowena[/name] (oops another wen name)
[name]Verena[/name]
[name]Viva[/name]/[name]Vivia[/name]
[name]Genoveva[/name]
[name]Vesper[/name]/[name]Vespera[/name]
[name]Zola[/name]
[name]Aria[/name]
[name]Seraphine[/name] is cute…I’d use nn [name]Effie[/name] or [name]Essie[/name]
[name]Endellion[/name]: like [name]Willow[/name] [name]Endellion[/name] or vice versa
I like the [name]Elowen[/name] suggestion! [name]Winnie[/name] or [name]Winn[/name] is a cute nn
[name]Primrose[/name]
Fiara
[name]Zara[/name]
Zelle
[name]Anabelle[/name]
[name]Xanthe[/name] (or can be spelled [name]Zanthe[/name]- pronounced [name]Zan[/name]-thee)
[name]Chiara[/name] or spelled [name]Kiara[/name]
[name]Hi[/name] fellow [name]Brit[/name]!
[name]Love[/name] your boy choices and I would vote for [name]Cordelia[/name] or [name]Persephone[/name] …but I’m biased
Maybe [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name] has the name you are looking for? List of Harry Potter characters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I can’t decide if I like [name]Seraphine[/name] or not…
