I just saw this on Nameberry and I like the sound of it!
What are your thoughts/ opinions /vibe from [name_f]Mariposa[/name_f]? (Is it trendy, modern or classic/ does it age well/ what kind of person do you picture?)
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you think the NN [name_f]Mia[/name_f] would be gotten from this name?
Any combo suggestions? (signature has a link to my favourite girls name list)
It’s not my cup of tea but it’s not terrible. I think it is kind of trendy but it is also a county in [name_u]California[/name_u]. I picture it on a whimsical free spirited person.
I think the nickname for this would be either [name_f]Mari[/name_f] or [name_f]Posy[/name_f].
From your list my suggestion would be [name_f]Mariposa[/name_f] [name_f]Selene[/name_f].
[name_u]Love[/name_u] it! It has a vintage feel, but in reality I think (if I’m not mistaken) it’s a new name that only came into use recently. It definitely has a glamour and exoticism to it.
I don’t think the NN [name_f]Mia[/name_f] is really instinctive for this name – I agree with forever.collector about [name_f]Mari[/name_f] or [name_f]Posie[/name_f].
LOL [name_m]How[/name_m] am I mad at you? I was a bit upset when you posted names in my sig. for suggestions but I clarified it for the next person. We have different tastes if you feel like I am suggesting bad things?
[name_f]Mariposa[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] - I got this from two of your suggestions combined [name_f]Mariposa[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_u]Joan[/name_u]…
[name_f]Mariposa[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Mariposa[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f]
[name_f]Mariposa[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] - Too ‘s’ heavy to close together?
[name_f]Mariposa[/name_f] [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] [name_f]Clover[/name_f] - I don’t like [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] but [name_f]Mariposa[/name_f] [name_f]Clover[/name_f] seems cool.
[name_f]Mariposa[/name_f] isn’t my personal taste but I can see its appeal. It has kind of a whimsical, vintage vibe to me. I love the nickname [name_f]Posy[/name_f]!!

[name_f]Mariposa[/name_f] is wonderful: it’s unusual yet an actual word which has a lovely meaning. I can see [name_f]Mia[/name_f], [name_f]Mary[/name_f], [name_f]Mari[/name_f], [name_f]Posy[/name_f], etc. as nicknames. I would favor something like [name_f]Mariposa[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], something straightforward and short as an anchoring middle. Great choice!
What are your thoughts/ opinions /vibe from [name_f]Mariposa[/name_f]? (Is it trendy, modern or classic/ does it age well/ what kind of person do you picture?)
I love [name_f]Mariposa[/name_f]! I think it has a vibe that’s simultaneously modern and classic, like a name long forgotten and then revived. I think it would age just wonderfully, especially because it has many kid-friendly nicknames.
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you think the NN [name_f]Mia[/name_f] would be gotten from this name?
No, I can’t see that. I can see [name_f]Mari[/name_f] or [name_f]Mara[/name_f], as well as [name_f]Posy[/name_f] or [name_u]Poe[/name_u] (or [name_u]Mo[/name_u], if that one ended up fitting right with your child).
I took all those from your list! My favorites are [name_f]Mariposa[/name_f] [name_u]Eden[/name_u] and [name_f]Mariposa[/name_f] [name_u]River[/name_u], I think.
I was considering [name_f]Mariposa[/name_f] a while back! I still might, not sure. Anyway, here’s a thread I started back then, you might be interested…
