Soleia translates to “buttercup” in Norwegian, and is my new favorite name, replacing the incredible [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] on my list. Although the name roots are unrelated, for me it also subtly honors the Norse sun goddess [name_u]Sol[/name_u] because of the similar name beginnings.
Images I see include apple trees, bees, daybreak, gold, honeysuckle, meadows of wildflowers, the colors pastel orange and pale yellow, and overall summertime and sunshine. I know it’s very vague, but my head hurts and writing a paragraph of what I’m seeing seems rather impossible right now.
Some names that I think would go well with Soleia are [name_f]Fawn[/name_f], [name_f]Giselle[/name_f], and Idunn (a Norse goddess of youth), but other than that, I’m stumped. I like names from art, ballet, fairytales, history, legends, literature, music, and mythology in particular, but I’m open to anything! I promise I’m not overly picky. I’m just putting out some starting points. Thank you in advance for any replies I may receive!
I really love Soleia, and Soleia Idunn is divine, it’s truly my favourite.
I’m pretty stumped as well, but maybe…
Soleia [name_f]Helene[/name_f], Soleia [name_f]Fay[/name_f], Soleia [name_f]Odette[/name_f] or Soleia [name_f]Etain[/name_f]?
Wow, what a fantastic list! You have my thanks. Soleia [name_f]Belphoebe[/name_f], Soleia [name_f]Bronwen[/name_f], Soleia [name_f]Fantine[/name_f], and Soleia [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] are my favorites.
Soleia [name_f]Morrigan[/name_f]! How lovely! Thank you for your contributions! Soleia [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] and Soleia [name_u]Rue[/name_u] are stunning as well.
How charming! Makes me think of The [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Bride[/name_f].
I agree with @bellerose: Soleia [name_f]Fawn[/name_f] sounds lovely – so soft and sweet. But Soleia [name_f]Giselle[/name_f] is graceful and lively, so I love that pairing, too. And I second Soleia [name_f]Odette[/name_f]! That was my first thought.
It’s one of my favorite movies and books, actually, which is part of the appeal. All of your combinations are heavenly, but especially Soleia [name_f]Delphine[/name_f], Soleia [name_f]Estelle[/name_f], and Soleia [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]!
I love that you kept the Nordic theme for some of these names! Soleia [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], Soleia [name_f]Dagmar[/name_f], Soleia Frigg, Soleia [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], Soleia [name_f]Nimue[/name_f], and Soleia [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] are gorgeous!
