Hello everyone. I am looking for more girl names to fall in love with. It’s been a while since I had a new favorite. Although this is not my only consideration when it comes to girl names, one thing I really love is names with great meanings. I know this can be a little subjective, but I’m curious what all your favourite names are with great meanings you love. They could be unique names, or they could be names we’ve all heard many times but are worth another look because of their meanings. I would love to read all your ideas.

Hmm…
I tend to not pay that much attention to meanings really what I do is I like a name then look up the meaning but I wouldn’t necessarily like a name based on a meaning and could overlook a meaning if I loved the name. When it came to naming my daughter though I was happy that her name meant [name_f]Lily[/name_f] as that really is such a lovely and meaningful meaning to me.
Christabel ‘fair [name_u]Christian[/name_u]’
[name_f]Primrose[/name_f] ‘first rose’
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] ‘wisdom’
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] ‘bearer of good news’
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] ‘gift of G-d’
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] ‘light’
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] ‘daughter of the sea’
[name_f]Belle[/name_f] ‘beautiful’
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] ‘from the forest’
[name_f]Juno[/name_f] ‘goddess of the heavens’
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] ‘golden’
[name_f]Orla[/name_f] ‘golden princess’
[name_f]Esme[/name_f] ‘beloved’
Here are some names where for me the meanings really stick in my mind!
