Meanings Behind My Top 10

Girl Names
1

I’m going to be really lame and keep going on about this.

  1. [name_f]Melissa[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
""

[name_f]Melissa[/name_f] means honeybee in Greek, and is the name of a teacher who was important to me. [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] is a longer version of [name_f]Delphi[/name_f], which I used to love.

  1. [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]
""

[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] comes from [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], of which one meaning is voyager, because I’ve travelled so much, and for [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] from A Series of Unfortunate Events, which I’ve loved since third grade. [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] honors my grandma.

  1. [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
""

[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] for the character from Friends, who I love for her wackiness and snark. [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] is the name of the first character I ever wrote.

  1. [name_f]Amy[/name_f] [name_f]Isabel[/name_f]
""

[name_f]Amy[/name_f] is a name I’ve loved since the beginning, and I’ve met a wonderful teacher and written a character with the [name_f]Aimee[/name_f] version. I prefer [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] to its -belle counterpart; it seems less frilly this way.

  1. [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f]
""

I live close to a street named [name_f]Helena[/name_f], and since my street name isn’t one that could really be considered a name, I chose this. [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f] means daisy, a flower which a lot of people in my life love.

  1. [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Renee[/name_f]
""

[name_f]My[/name_f] father calls me [name_f]Ann[/name_f], [name_f]Annie[/name_f], and [name_f]Annabel[/name_f], and so, I decided I liked [name_f]Anna[/name_f]. [name_f]Renee[/name_f] is another of those names I’ve loved from the start, and the name of an important principal I once had.

  1. [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
""

[name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] is a name I like for its versatility and the number of nickname possibilities. [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is, once again, to honor a lot of people who shaped my life.

  1. [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]
""

Clear and bright lily. [name_f]Lilies[/name_f] are also one of my favorite flowers.

  1. [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]
""

This name has a whole bunch of mom-ness going on. [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] is for [name_f]Kitty[/name_f] Forman, one of the best TV moms. [name_u]June[/name_u] is my mother’s birth month.

  1. [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]
""

[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] was one of my first Nameberry loves. [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is for the rainbows, the Greek goddess, and the state wildflower of Michigan.

Beatrice means bringer of joy from Latin. Not sure where you got voyager from? [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] name though

Interesting with [name_f]Susanna[/name_f], why not just go for [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], [name_f]Lilyanna[/name_f], [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] or [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]? Personally I think [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is a stunning name.

Love [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] beautiful combo

Elisabeth [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] are also cute combos

Loved reading these :slight_smile:

@etymology [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] either comes from ‘viatrix’ or ‘viator’ meaning voyage or from the latin ‘beatus’ meaning blessed/joy! It’s one of those ones that could be both :slight_smile:

@Greyblue Interesting I have never seen the etymology for [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] as coming from viator rather than beator
