My girls list needs a face lift!

Girl Names
1

Or girls list needs a serious revamp! There are names that I love, and names that he loves. There are quite a few that we both like a lot, but of course we haven’t found the one that we both just [name]LOVE[/name]! We definitely want something uncommon, but not weird. The more uncommon the better, but not necessarily the more unusual the better, if that makes sense. Ideally, I want a name that people say “Oh, what a beautiful name! I’ve never heard that before!” Or, “What a cool name!”, something like that. I don’t want a name that people say “Hmm, that’s interesting.”. You get what I mean, enough with the babble, on to the names!

His picks:
[name]Magnolia[/name]
[name]Electra[/name]
[name]Fable[/name]
Dynamite
For some reason he thinks we’re edgy enough to pull those off. We’re really not. :lol:

My favorites:
[name]Elizabeth[/name] “[name]Betsey[/name]”
[name]Margo[/name]
Lulette
[name]Cassia[/name]
[name]Tessa[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Camille[/name]
[name]Celeste[/name]

We both like, but for whatever reason won’t work or we’re not totally in love with:
[name]Zoe[/name]
[name]Oliana[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name]
[name]Sophia[/name]
[name]Sabrina[/name]
[name]Olivia[/name]
[name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Cleo[/name]/ [name]Clementine[/name] “[name]Cleo[/name]”
[name]Bridget[/name]/ [name]Brigitte[/name]
[name]Roxana[/name] “[name]Roxie[/name]”
[name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Marguerite[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name]
[name]Gwendolyn[/name] “[name]Gwen[/name]”
[name]Fiona[/name]
[name]Daphne[/name]
[name]Dinah[/name]
[name]Sadie[/name]
[name]Miranda[/name]
[name]Tabitha[/name]
[name]Zinnia[/name]

We have a son named [name]Dashiell[/name] “[name]Dash[/name]”, and have decided on [name]Radley[/name] if we have another boy. So we’d like a name that compliments them, but I’m not overly concerned with the styles matching perfectly.

Thanks in advance! I need all the help I can get!

From your husband’s list, I really only think [name]Magnolia[/name] is usable. [name]Electra[/name] would make a cool middle name, but it does have an unsavory literary background. Out of your names, I like [name]Camille[/name] best. What about [name]Veda[/name], [name]Ivy[/name], [name]Saskia[/name] or [name]Saffron[/name]?

3

[name]Magnolia[/name]'s really the only one on your husband’s list that I like, but I like all the names on your list. If I had to pick, I’d probably say [name]Tessa[/name] and [name]Camille[/name] were my favorites and Lulette and [name]Cassia[/name] were my least favorites, but even those two I don’t really dislike. From your list of names you both like but don’t love, I like [name]Zoe[/name], [name]Sophia[/name], [name]Sabrina[/name], [name]Cleo[/name] (but not [name]Clementine[/name]), [name]Bridget[/name], [name]Marguerite[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name], [name]Roxana[/name], [name]Fiona[/name], and [name]Miranda[/name]. I think [name]Cleo[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name], [name]Roxana[/name], and [name]Miranda[/name] go best with [name]Dashiell[/name].

If you’re looking for more options, I’d suggest [name]Dahlia[/name] (if you’re open to another d name), [name]Corinne[/name], [name]Alice[/name], [name]Noemie[/name], [name]Iris[/name], [name]Therese[/name], [name]Thalia[/name], [name]Tamar[/name], [name]Sarai[/name], [name]Ariadne[/name], [name]Elodie[/name], [name]Eloise[/name], [name]Lorena[/name], or [name]Rhiannon[/name].

Thanks for the quick replies!
Poptart, [name]Camille[/name] is actually one of the ones I think best shows what I’m looking for. Like, a combo of [name]Camille[/name] and [name]Zoe[/name], if that makes sense! Like [name]Ivy[/name], actually! I adore [name]Ivy[/name] but he doesn’t like it and my mom HATES it. [name]Veda[/name] and [name]Saskia[/name] are a little too, hmm, foreign sounding? And [name]Saffron[/name] just doesn’t do it for me.

[name]Daisy[/name], I’m glad you like my list! I don’t really want to use another D name, but [name]Dahlia[/name] is so lovely. [name]Dash[/name] and [name]Dolly[/name], too cutesy? Probably. That’s the perfect sort of name though. He actually loves [name]Alice[/name], I forgot that. It’s a bit too simple for me and I think it’d get mixed up with [name]Alex[/name]. Most of the others I feel like I should love, but I just don’t.

Hmm, okay I’m going to write names that your picks make me think of to give you some revamp ideas :slight_smile:

From His list, I agree, [name]Magnolia[/name]'s the most usable ( Yours souunds just liike mine!)
[name]Electra[/name] would make a fabulous middle, though.

From your list, [name]Cassia[/name]'s my fave, so stunning in R.L. and [name]Lucy[/name]. Sweet.

I want to suggest a few:
[name]Camilla[/name]- [name]Milly[/name]?
[name]Vera[/name]
[name]Mina[/name]
[name]Gemma[/name]
[name]Pascale[/name]
[name]Elspeth[/name] (instead of [name]Elizabeth[/name]?) You can still call [name]Elspeth[/name] [name]Betsey[/name]!
[name]Nerissa[/name]?
[name]Antonia[/name]?
Oph”lie (oh-[name]FAY[/name]-lee)
[name]Dahlia[/name] might appeal to the part of Him that loves [name]Magnolia[/name], and [name]Dahlia[/name]'s easier to live with, I used to know one.
[name]Camellia[/name]'s a flower, might split the difference between [name]Camille[/name] & [name]Magnolia[/name]. Maybe?

[name]Just[/name] thinking wildly today! :smiley:

I love [name]Fiona[/name], [name]Fable[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], [name]Magnolia[/name], [name]Daphne[/name], and [name]Margo[/name]:slight_smile: Also, you may like [name]Phoebe[/name], [name]Olive[/name], [name]Opal[/name], and [name]Sunday[/name].:slight_smile: I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Alice[/name] though, sounds great with [name]Dash[/name]:slight_smile:

[name]Magnolia[/name] - I really like this for a little girl.
[name]Electra[/name] - I don’t hate it but it kind of sounds like a stripper.
[name]Fable[/name] - I adore it.
Dynamite - No, no, no!
[name]Elizabeth[/name] “[name]Betsey[/name]” - [name]Elizabeth[/name] is one of my least favorite girl names. I hear it everywhere! It’s just so overused and worn out. The nn [name]Betsey[/name] is horrid, in my opinion. Sorry! Think of all the little Elizabeths that will be in her class. She won’t stand out at all.
[name]Margo[/name] - Too outdated for my liking.
Lulette - Horrible.
[name]Cassia[/name] - I like it, but don’t love it.
[name]Tessa[/name] - Not a fan.
[name]Lucy[/name] - Hate it.
[name]Camille[/name] - Pretty and classy.
[name]Celeste[/name] - Not a fan.
[name]Zoe[/name] - Hate it.
[name]Oliana[/name] - Sounds made-up.

[name]Sophia[/name] - Too overused.
[name]Sabrina[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t care for it.
[name]Olivia[/name] - Too overused.
[name]Amelia[/name] - Same as above. I like [name]Amalie[/name] though.
[name]Cleo[/name]/ [name]Clementine[/name] - [name]Cleo[/name] is nice enough. [name]Clementine[/name] is horrid.
[name]Bridget[/name]/ [name]Brigitte[/name] - Not a fan. Sounds dated.
[name]Roxana[/name] “[name]Roxie[/name]” - Stripper-ish.
[name]Scarlett[/name] - The [name]Scarlet[/name] Letter!
[name]Violet[/name] - Too common these days.
[name]Marguerite[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t care for; too outdated for my liking.
[name]Adelaide[/name] - Pretty but becoming so popular really quick.
[name]Gwendolyn[/name] “[name]Gwen[/name]” - Eh, no.
[name]Fiona[/name] - Hate it.
[name]Daphne[/name] - Nice enough. It’ll age well.
[name]Dinah[/name] - Reminds me of a dinosaur.
[name]Sadie[/name] - More like a dog or cat’s name.
[name]Miranda[/name] - [name]Lovely[/name] name.
[name]Tabitha[/name] - Always hated this name. I just think it’s unattractive and nothing pretty about it.
[name]Zinnia[/name] - Eh, it’s okay.

I can only really jump on board with [name]Magnolia[/name] from his list. [name]Maggie[/name] and [name]Nola[/name] make sweet nicknames and it really is a darling name all together.

Here are some “edgy” names that might unite your two styles:

[name]Ramona[/name] ([name]Nona[/name] would be a neat nickname)
[name]Livia[/name]
[name]Ottilie[/name] - aw-til-ee is how I pronounce it…
[name]Lilia[/name]
[name]Nora[/name]
[name]Cora[/name]
[name]Audra[/name]
[name]Edith[/name] - I used to think this sounded frumpy, then I met a little [name]Edith[/name] who went by [name]Edy[/name] (ee-dee, like the Ice Cream) and since then I’ve adored it.
[name]Annika[/name]
[name]Aurora[/name]
[name]Linnea[/name] (lin-aya)

I think you and I have similar tastes because my list looks very, very similar!!

I agree that the only one on your dh’s list is [name]Magnolia[/name], but I’m not crazy about it. Your list? There are a bunch I like, but if they aren’t doing it for you, it’s hard to make them into something that will. That is what I’m struggling with.

Here are a few on my list that I haven’t seen on yours:

[name]Vivien[/name]
[name]Harriet[/name] (nn [name]Hattie[/name])
[name]Greer[/name]
[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Zara[/name]
[name]Maisie[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name]

Some thoughts and suggestions, hope not too many repeats. All best!

[name]Magnolia[/name] - I like it but feel like it really is too much, which it sounds like you are feeling too.
[name]Electra[/name] - beautiful, but again, too much. [name]Elettra[/name] is a little less loaded. Nn [name]Lettie[/name] is cute to me. [name]Eleora[/name]/[name]Eliora[/name]?
[name]Fable[/name] - I think this would actually be doable with nn [name]Fay/name, although I’d prefer the name [name]Fay/name with nn [name]Fable[/name]!
Dynamite - so funny [name]Dinah[/name]'s on your like but can’t use list, I guess that’s bc of [name]Dash[/name]'s D? [name]Dinah[/name] nn Dynamite is adorable! Although maybe less fun if it keeps on in school when she doesn’t want it too.
What about [name]Adina[/name] nn [name]Dina[/name] nn Dynamite? I think it’s usually a [name]DEE[/name] na, but DYE na is not such a stretch.

[name]Elizabeth[/name] “[name]Betsey[/name]” - I like this quite well but I know you seem not sold on it despite loving it. Hmm. [name]Elsa[/name]? [name]Elsa[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] nn [name]Betsey[/name]? Or that’s too much a stretch? [name]Bettina[/name]?
[name]Margo[/name] - I love this name! If you need to update it, hmm. [name]Marlo[/name]? [name]Marin[/name]/[name]Maren[/name]? [name]Margo[/name] could definitely be nicknamed [name]Magnolia[/name], especially with a mn beginning with N. [name]Margo[/name] [name]Nola[/name] isn’t great to my ear, but [name]Margo[/name] [name]Naomi[/name] could be.
Lulette - This is cute but I don’t love it, including with her brother’s name. [name]Louisa[/name] I can see. [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Elettra[/name] is definitely a Lulette to me.
[name]Cassia[/name] - I like this. [name]Do[/name] you use the sh prn? It is a lot with [name]Dash[/name] then maybe. [name]Lucia[/name]? I prefer Loo-see-a but Looshya is nice too. [name]Lucia[/name] [name]Elettra[/name], hmm…[name]Keziah[/name] is also nice. [name]Kerensa[/name]. Is [name]Dashiell[/name] Celtic? Cornish [name]Kerensa[/name] seems to fit nicely with him, [name]Dashiell[/name] and [name]Kerensa[/name] are made for each other in my ear. Hmm. [name]Keturah[/name].
[name]Tessa[/name] - a great name with [name]Dash[/name]. [name]Tamsin[/name]?
[name]Lucy[/name] - a ha! Well, again, [name]Lucia[/name]. [name]Lucinda[/name]? Somehow that fits well with [name]Dashiell[/name] to me. [name]Dashiell[/name] and [name]Lucinda[/name]. Interesting…[name]Lucinda[/name] [name]Elettra[/name] or [name]Lucia[/name] [name]Elettra[/name] is also totally a Lulette to me.
[name]Camille[/name] - like another poster’s suggestion of [name]Camilla[/name]. [name]Carmel[/name]? [name]Carmela[/name]?
[name]Celeste[/name] - [name]Celia[/name], [name]Cecily[/name]

[name]Zoe[/name] - another poster suggested [name]Vivian[/name] et al and that taps into the life meaning, at least. I think [name]Dash[/name] and [name]Viv[/name] are adorable together! Realize probably too common for your taste
[name]Oliana[/name] - see [name]Eleora[/name]/[name]Eliora[/name] above
[name]Beatrix[/name] - use in the middle with [name]Elsa[/name]?
[name]Penelope[/name] - [name]Nella[/name]? [name]Lionel[/name]? [name]Ariadne[/name]?
[name]Sophia[/name] - [name]Sonia[/name]? [name]Josefina[/name]?
[name]Sabrina[/name] - [name]Verena[/name], [name]Serena[/name], [name]Selena[/name], [name]Sabine[/name]?
[name]Olivia[/name] - [name]Odelia[/name], [name]Ofira[/name]
[name]Amelia[/name] - [name]Emmeline[/name], [name]Amity[/name], [name]Ameline[/name]
[name]Cleo[/name]/ [name]Clementine[/name] “[name]Cleo[/name]” - [name]Carolina[/name] “[name]Caro[/name]”, [name]Quince[/name], [name]Pomme[/name]
[name]Bridget[/name]/ [name]Brigitte[/name] - [name]Ingrid[/name]. Not a great fit with [name]Dash[/name].
[name]Roxana[/name] “[name]Roxie[/name]” - love this! [name]Rosemary[/name] nn [name]Romy[/name]?
[name]Scarlett[/name] - [name]Carlotta[/name]? [name]Elettra[/name]? [name]Carmen[/name]?
[name]Violet[/name] - [name]Violetta[/name]?
[name]Marguerite[/name] - [name]Marjolaine[/name]? [name]Marjorie[/name]?
[name]Adelaide[/name] - [name]Adina[/name]? [name]Adele[/name]? [name]Adela[/name]?
[name]Gwendolyn[/name] “[name]Gwen[/name]” - [name]Imogen[/name]?
[name]Fiona[/name] - [name]Cliona[/name] nn [name]Clio[/name]?
[name]Daphne[/name] - Daveney (I guess we are getting into D name problems), [name]Xanthe[/name], [name]Evanthe[/name], [name]Ariadne[/name], [name]Phoebe[/name]?
[name]Dinah[/name] - [name]Adina[/name]? [name]Mila[/name]?
[name]Sadie[/name] - [name]Sabine[/name]?
[name]Miranda[/name] - [name]Miriam[/name], [name]Morwenna[/name]
[name]Tabitha[/name] - [name]Jemima[/name], [name]Keturah[/name]
[name]Zinnia[/name] - [name]Azalea[/name]
[name]Dahlia[/name] - [name]Natalia[/name]

Thanks so much for all the suggestions! I read them over and over again and was getting so frustrated because nothing was jumping out at me really. When my husand came home I asked him about a bunch of names and he liked one! [name]Viola[/name]! I’ve loved it for at least a few years now, and since he loves [name]Violet[/name] I’ve always thought he should like it, but he never did. But now he does! He says I never mentioned it before… :roll: Men… We would use [name]Lola[/name] and [name]Vivi[/name] (prn vee-vee), [name]Vi[/name] and V as nicknames. There are really a plethora of nicknames. I like that it has 3 syllables and only 5 letters, how often does that happen, right? I love that it’s uncommon, but not weird. I think it sounds sophisticated and artistic. I love [name]Dashiell[/name] and [name]Viola[/name] together. [name]Dash[/name] and [name]Vivi[/name], [name]Dash[/name] and [name]Vi[/name], [name]Dash[/name] and [name]Lola[/name]. And I love it with [name]Radley[/name], too. [name]Dashiell[/name], [name]Radley[/name] and [name]Viola[/name]. [name]Dashiell[/name], [name]Viola[/name] and [name]Radley[/name]. Oh! Plus it’s got a literature reference! Woot! So what do you all think? And we are far from set on it, so I’d still love more suggestions if anyone has any. :smiley:

13

I love [name]Viola[/name]. But, are you pronouncing it like the instrument, then? I’m definitely not. [name]Lola[/name] as a nickname for [name]Viola[/name] is really quite inspired! [name]Dash[/name] and [name]Lola[/name]. Awesome! I’m sold. I think I’ve suggested a lot of names to you over the months, and I don’t want to be redundant, but I will be…

Of the original list the ones I really liked are:

[name]Electra[/name]
[name]Cassia[/name]
[name]Tessa[/name] - one of my fav. girl names.
[name]Camille[/name]

Of the ones some other people mentioned I really liked

[name]Cambria[/name]
[name]Cosette[/name]

Now as to [name]Viola[/name]. An interesting one to me. I remember reading twelth night in school and thinking back then what a cool name [name]Viola[/name] was. I really don’t like names like [name]Violet[/name], but [name]Viola[/name] sounds much more cool to me.

[name]Viola[/name] and [name]Dashiell[/name] sound pretty good together too. [name]Viola[/name] is maybe a bit more traditional, but not common enough to seem odd with [name]Dashiell[/name].

15

I’m not pronouncing [name]Viola[/name] like the instrument, just [name]Vivi[/name] as V.V. I like [name]Viv[/name]-ee, too, but I like V.V. better, just sounds happier to me, and I love [name]Ivy[/name] so I feel like I’d kind of be getting that out of it. :slight_smile:

You have given me so many suggestions, I am a suggestiong hog :stuck_out_tongue: Actually, one of these that I have NEVER liked or got the appeal of at all just stood out to me! [name]Eloise[/name]! I can’t believe it! I think it’s because I named my new nintendog [name]Elsie[/name] and have found out that I flippin’ love it. [name]Viola[/name] and [name]Eloise[/name]? [name]Lola[/name] and [name]Elsie[/name], [name]Vivi[/name] and [name]Elsie[/name]. They would be great twins because of the v[name]IOLa[/name], e[name]LOIse[/name], thing. [name]Just[/name] realized if I use [name]Viola[/name] I can never use [name]Fiona[/name], I’ll have to think on that a bit.

Chel’ I know what you mean about [name]Viola[/name] being so much cooler than [name]Violet[/name]! I actually love [name]Violet[/name], but it’s more sweet. [name]Viola[/name] has an edge to her, I think. She’s def. more traditional than [name]Dashiell[/name], but there were actually only 113 Violas born last year and 116 Dashiells (actually 200-something with spelling variants) so she’s less common. There was an [name]Oscar[/name] winner recently, [name]Viola[/name] [name]Davis[/name], I think? [name]Every[/name] time I hear her name I think about how cool it is. She’s awesome, too. Fabulous fashion sense :smiley:

Thoughts on [name]Dashiell[/name], [name]Radley[/name] and [name]Viola[/name] as a set? [name]Dashiell[/name], [name]Viola[/name], [name]Radley[/name] and [name]Eloise[/name]? I kinda love that.

I missed [name]Eloise[/name] when I caught up with the thread. WOW, that’s another of my favorite girl names - I like French style girl names a lot. I’ve chatted to an [name]Elise[/name] before but I prefer [name]Eloise[/name] I think as a name.

[name]Lyndsay[/name] I think you choose the coolest names. [name]Dashiell[/name], [name]Radley[/name], [name]Viola[/name], [name]Eloise[/name]. All of these sounds fantastic together to my ears and they all look great as a sibset. I would find it hard to choose between [name]Viola[/name] and [name]Eloise[/name] myself. As I said, I love [name]Tess[/name]/[name]Tessa[/name] too, but with [name]Dashiell[/name] and maybe [name]Radley[/name], I think [name]Viola[/name] or [name]Eloise[/name] are a better fit.

[name]Viola[/name] is perfect with [name]Dash[/name]. I think you might’ve found it!

I think you should go with [name]Marguerite[/name] and use [name]Margo[/name] as a nickname. I like the spelling [name]Margot[/name] better, but that’s up to you. I think [name]Dash[/name], [name]Margo[/name], and [name]Radley[/name] sounds amazing together!
