We would really appreciate some feedback on the name [name_f]Mimosa[/name_f] (we know it’s a cocktail but it’s also a well established name and was my grandmother and great-grandmother’s names) and some other names we are considering for our [name_u]December[/name_u] baby, here they are with comments as to why we like them:
[name_f]Mimosa[/name_f] - Like I said, [name_f]Mimosa[/name_f] is a family name for me and the name my husband and I love the most. We don’t mind if she’s a bit too much in terms of quirkiness or the fact that she would match our other daughter’s M initial. Nicknames would be [name_f]Mim[/name_f], [name_f]Mimi[/name_f] and [name_u]Mo[/name_u].
[name_f]Samira[/name_f] - We love how strong, feminine, exotic and fierce this name is and the [name_u]Sam[/name_u] brings it home and is more familiar and gender-neutral just in case. We would also primarily use [name_f]Mimi[/name_f] as a nickname.
[name_f]Magali[/name_f] - This is my mother’s name and I love it so, so much! I just worry whether it shares too many similar sounds to my daughter [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]'s name, otherwise I would use her in a heartbeat.
[name_f]Pomeline[/name_f] - No family ties to this name but we really, really like it. We think it’s both chic and quirky and wonderfully Parisienne.
[name_f]Liselotte[/name_f] - We have loved this name for many years and [name_f]Liselotte[/name_f] has been on and off of our top 3 list for girls. [name_f]Lise[/name_f] honors husband’s mother [name_u]Lisa[/name_u] and [name_f]Lotte[/name_f] would honor my other grandmother [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]. Nickname would be [name_f]Lottie[/name_f].
[name_f]Olympia[/name_f] - This would be after [name_f]Olympe[/name_f] de Gouges who is said to be one of the first feminists. She was a writer, playwrite, poet and most importantly author of the Declaration of the Rights of Women and Citoyenne (Female Citizen in [name_m]French[/name_m]). I’m a [name_m]History[/name_m] teacher and teach mainly Imperialism and [name_m]French[/name_m], Industrial and Russian Revolution to my students and I always bring forth for discussion [name_f]Olympia[/name_f]'s Rights of Women which was in many ways the first feminist Manifesto, years before [name_f]Mary[/name_f] Wollstonecraft’s writings. So, not family but almost so 
[name_f]Mathilde[/name_f] - I have always loved this name and my husband too (luckily). There’s nothing much to [name_f]Mathilde[/name_f] other than we think it’s beautiful.
Feedback would be wonderful!
Thank you!
