Most names I like are silly. Looking for more realistic ideas.

Girl Names
1

I have just started thinking about and looking at names on here, but some of my favourite names so far are not going down well with anybody I know. My favourites right now are [name_f]Goldie[/name_f], [name_f]Erin[/name_f], [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f], [name_f]Lovie[/name_f], and [name_f]Avie[/name_f]. My husband has vetoed them all.

My husband likes [name_f]Evie[/name_f] and nothing else! So I guess we both like names that have a ‘v’ in them, but I find [name_f]Evie[/name_f] to be common sounding, and my cousin just named one of her triplets this.

I kind of like [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], and [name_f]Amelie[/name_f], but find them to be a little blah. I have a while yet to go, but I can tell girl’s names are going to be a problem.

Any ideas for me based on the above information?

[name_f]Aveline[/name_f] is a name that I have recently fallen in love with and it seems to fit in with the other names you like - [name_m]French[/name_m], has a v in it
I really like the name [name_f]Erin[/name_f], I don’t think it’s silly at all
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] is nice too, but I like [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] more
What about…
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Geneva[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Octavia[/name_f]
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f]
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
[name_f]Isla[/name_f]
[name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Collette[/name_f]?

Shinae
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
[name_f]Clea[/name_f]
[name_f]Mira[/name_f]
[name_f]Charis[/name_f]
Aviell
[name_f]Essie[/name_f]

If your husband likes [name_f]Evie[/name_f] so much why not consider naming her [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and call her [name_f]Evie[/name_f] as a nn?

5

I second [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]/[name_f]Evie[/name_f]. Otherwise, how do you feel about Avonlea? It’s certainly not common! A better option (than Avonlea) might be [name_u]Everly[/name_u].

6

[name_f]Nova[/name_f] or Novalie

[name_f]Eva[/name_f] or [name_f]Evangelique[/name_f]

[name_u]Evan[/name_u] or [name_f]Viera[/name_f]

[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] or [name_f]Beverly[/name_f]

[name_f]Avalyn[/name_f] or [name_u]Devin[/name_u]

Revery or [name_u]Everly[/name_u]

[name_u]Haven[/name_u] or [name_f]Ivana[/name_f]

Almost forgot [name_f]Geneva[/name_f]!

7

[name_f]Goldie[/name_f]- I think [name_f]Golda[/name_f] is a sophisticated way to get to [name_f]Goldie[/name_f], which is adorable.
[name_f]Erin[/name_f]- I love the name [name_f]Erin[/name_f]. Erianthe is a bit more unusual, but maybe you would like it
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]- Cute. [name_u]Silver[/name_u] is pretty too. [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] is nice too.
[name_f]Lovie[/name_f]- I would use [name_f]Love[/name_f] to get to [name_f]Lovie[/name_f], or Lubov which is love in Russian. Or maybe [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f]?
[name_f]Avie[/name_f]- I prefer [name_f]Evie[/name_f] or [name_f]Ava[/name_f]. [name_f]Nova[/name_f] is pretty.
[name_f]Olive[/name_f]- I think [name_f]Lovie[/name_f] could work as a nn for [name_f]Olive[/name_f] quite well!
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]- [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] might be one you’ll like. I think [name_f]Clara[/name_f] is very pretty
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f]- [name_f]Camille[/name_f], [name_f]Camilla[/name_f],[name_f]Emiline[/name_f], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Mila[/name_f], [name_f]Millie[/name_f]?

Based on your title I was expecting names like: [name_m]Cotton[/name_m] [name_f]Candy[/name_f] LN, [name_f]Clarabel[/name_f] Kuh, etc.

I think the names you are attracted to on the whole are what I’d qualify as “sweet”. Maybe a little too sweet for me but by no means silly.

If you both like the v names there are a ton out there. [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] (which I find very sugary) would be a great option for an [name_f]Evie[/name_f] nn. I’m fairly tired so my v names might not be fabulous but…. [name_f]Elva[/name_f], [name_u]Averil[/name_u], [name_u]Devin[/name_u], Genova, [name_f]Elvira[/name_f], [name_u]Everest[/name_u], [name_u]Haven[/name_u], [name_f]Ivet[/name_f]/[name_f]Yvette[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Jovie[/name_f], [name_f]Livia[/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Minerva[/name_f], [name_f]Octavia[/name_f], Providence/Provenance and [name_f]Vita[/name_f]/[name_f]Veda[/name_f].

[name_f]Amani[/name_f]
[name_f]Neve[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_u]Vida[/name_u]

Lots of great names already suggested!

[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] nn [name_f]Evie[/name_f] is my second favorite name!

[name_f]Olive[/name_f] is cute too.

What about:

[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Liv[/name_f]
[name_f]Avalon[/name_f]
[name_u]Vesper[/name_u]
[name_f]Vivica[/name_f]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u]
[name_f]Valencia[/name_f]
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] ( just met one this weekend- cute!)

11

A lot of these would be fine as nicknames, like [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] for [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f], [name_f]Lovie[/name_f] for any Lo- name (like [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] or [name_f]Lovina[/name_f]) or [name_f]Avie[/name_f] for Aviella or [name_f]Aviana[/name_f].
