[name_f]Louisa[/name_f]/[name_f]Luisa[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] a lot! I had been considering it for a while a month or two ago, to get to [name_f]Lola[/name_f], but I’m not sure I can see me with a [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]. I’d love to see someone else use it, though. It’s beautiful.
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] - I like it a lot, but prefer [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] and [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] personally.
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] - I like it okay, but somehow it seems overrated to me. (Much like [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]. I know I’m in the minority here hahaha.) I love [name_f]Claire[/name_f], but something about [name_f]Clara[/name_f] I can’t get into completely.
[name_f]Serafina[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Serafina[/name_f] a lot (much more than [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f]!), but I am not terribly keen on the nns, and I’ve never found a combo that made me love it enough to use it. It is really pretty, though!
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] (this spelling a lot–something about the “H” I’m not too fond of), but I’m not sure I love it enough to use it up front. It’s a gorgeous name, though, and I have this thing where I lengthen names instead of shorten them to nicknames (it’s weird and I’m dumb, haha, but I’ve done it for years. [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] becomes [name_f]Natalia[/name_f], [name_f]Carol[/name_f] becomes [name_f]Carolina[/name_f], [name_f]Emily[/name_f] becomes [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], my friend [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] has become [name_f]Serafina[/name_f], etc.), and I call my friend [name_f]Sue[/name_f] “[name_f]Susanna[/name_f]” all the time (so much so that people have come to think it’s her actual name, which we think is hilarious lol).
[name_f]Estella[/name_f] - I like it fairly well–much more than [name_f]Stella[/name_f]!–but not as much as [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]. I probably wouldn’t use it, but it is a pretty name.
[name_f]Rosalina[/name_f] - I’m not keen on [name_f]Rose[/name_f] names in general (although I do love [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]!), but I like [name_f]Rosalina[/name_f] much more than [name_f]Rosaline[/name_f]! It’s very dainty and frilly, and [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] and [name_f]Lina[/name_f] are such cute nicknames! I actually love it for you.
[name_f]Eve[/name_f] - I like it fairly well–I’ve been trying out [name_f]Eve[/name_f] Fiala [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] on my own list!–but I like [name_f]Eva[/name_f] and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] more, personally. I love [name_f]Eve[/name_f] as a middle, though.
[name_f]Giuliana[/name_f]/[name_f]Juliana[/name_f] - I think [name_f]Juliana[/name_f] would be easier to live with–I love those Italian Gi- names ([name_f]Giulietta[/name_f], [name_f]Giuliana[/name_f]/[name_f]Giulia[/name_f], [name_f]Giovanna[/name_f], [name_f]Giuseppina[/name_f], etc.!), but I think the majority of them are pretty hard to live with. I don’t think most people would get them right and spelling (and pronunciation) would be a nightmare. Unless you have lots of Italian ancestry (and quite recent), I would probably skip it in favor of [name_f]Juliana[/name_f], which is gorgeous.
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] - [name_u]LOVE[/name_u]! So popular but I really don’t care. Then again, [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] is my favorite girls’ name. I think I’d use [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] over [name_f]Isabella[/name_f], but I have [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] on my long list, too, and as a middle for [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] on my medium-length (haha) list. To me, she’s one of the most beautiful names in the world.
[name_f]Kaia[/name_f] - I love [name_f]Kaia[/name_f]! Huge thumbs up from me. (Not that that means anything lol.)
[name_f]Estella[/name_f] - this is the second time you listed this, so maybe that’s saying something? It is a lovely name!
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f], [name_f]Kaia[/name_f], [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Lilia[/name_f], and [name_f]Rosalina[/name_f] are my favorites.
Good luck!
I posted about one of my favorite names last week, [name_f]Rosalina[/name_f], which got mixed reviews, so I thought I’d post my entire list. As you can see, my husband and I like long names that end in “a.” Let me know which ones are your favorites, they are in no particular order. Thanks!
