My mom hates my top 2. Help!

My mom think’s that [name]Liberty[/name] is a redneck name and that [name]Elettra[/name] sounds like a stripper name. [name]Do[/name] you agree? Disagree?

Also, thoughts on my other 3 from top 5: [name]Harbor[/name], [name]Quincy[/name], & [name]Noelle[/name]?

Any names you think would fit in that set? I’d be very grateful for some suggestions.

Thanks and God Bless.

I really like [name]Felicity[/name], kind of a spin on [name]Liberty[/name], and works with either [name]Elettra[/name] or [name]Noelle[/name]. I don’t care for [name]Elettra[/name] and [name]Noelle[/name] paired together.

Is this 1 or 2 girls you’re naming?

If one:

[name]Elettra[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] or [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Elettra[/name]

or…

[name]Noelle[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] or [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]

If two:

[name]Elettra[/name] [name]Ione[/name] and [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]

or…

[name]Noelle[/name] [name]Bryn[/name] and [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Elettra[/name]

I also like [name]Isla[/name] and [name]Alessandra[/name]!

[name]Elettra[/name] would not be my choice but I don’t think it’s a stripper name.
[name]Liberty[/name] is nice. I would choose it over [name]Elettra[/name]. I don’t think it sounds like a redneck name at all.
I really like your 3 from your top 5. All 3 are great and sound nice.
For sib set I’d use [name]Harbor[/name], [name]Quincy[/name] and [name]Liberty[/name].
Maybe you can use [name]Elettra[/name] as a mn, that way you get it in but avoid the stripper opinions.

I live in Australia and we don’t think of names in terms of it sounds like a stripper’s name, however, I would be very reluctant to use Elletra, you could use [name]Allegra[/name] which has almost the same sound and it would be a far more acceptable name, in fact a lovely name eg [name]Allegra[/name] [name]Penelope[/name].

[name]Liberty[/name] although it has the nice meaning of freedom is not a name that I could consider. [name]Lorelai[/name] is pretty as is [name]Lara[/name], [name]Laura[/name], [name]Lauren[/name], [name]Letitia[/name], [name]Leila[/name], [name]Larissa[/name] and [name]Lena[/name]. perhaps one of these would appeal to you?

[name]Lorelai[/name] [name]Cosette[/name]
[name]Lorelai[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name]
[name]Lorelai[/name] [name]Juliet[/name]

[name]Noelle[/name] is pretty and I like it teamed with [name]Christiana[/name], [name]Noelle[/name] [name]Christiana[/name].

I think that [name]Quinn[/name] for a girl is prettier than [name]Quincy[/name], not many people like the quince fruit, it doesn’t have the right vibe imo.

For a boy [name]Quentin[/name] is a handsome, quirky name.

Harbour reminds me of [name]Willow[/name] and that is a lovely girl’s name.

[name]Willow[/name] [name]Skye[/name]

Best wishes

[name]Love[/name] these suggestions!

I agree, [name]Quinn[/name] is much nicer to me than [name]Quincy[/name] - more feminine.

And, I love [name]Willow[/name], again a much more feminine choice to [name]Harbor[/name].
[name]Bay[/name] would be my other suggestion but I think it only works as a middle, and maybe better on a boy.

[name]Even[/name] though [name]Elettra[/name] doesn’t bother me (although I do see the concern - is this because of [name]Carmen[/name] [name]Electra[/name] I wonder?), I think [name]Allegra[/name] [name]Penelope[/name] is so smooth! [name]Love[/name] it!

Responding to posts makes me want a doll collection, or tons of pets, so I can use all these names that I fall in love with;)!

My 4 year old is [name]Liberty[/name]. She is nearly 5 and in all that time I have only received one negative comment on her name. A waitress in a restaurant insinuated that it was a “hippie” name. I patiently explained to her that the hippies used this name beause they liked alot of patriotic names (like [name]America[/name]). If you look at old censuses in [name]America[/name], [name]Liberty[/name] was in use a hundred or more years ago (although it was often a boy’s name then). It isn’t a new name but has had a new surge of interest in recent years just like during the “hippie” era. We have received many compliments on her name. I don’t consider myself a redneck and I certainly don’t think anyone else has considered it that. I would use any of the 5 names off your list that you really like. Your mom will get used to it, as will anyone else who doesn’t approve. Good luck!

[name]Liberty[/name] is ok, but how about just [name]Libby[/name] as a full name? That would be really cute. [name]Elettra[/name], I’m not crazy about, but [name]Electa[/name] is a cute name, as is [name]Electra[/name].

My first instinct when I saw the title was WHO CARES?! But I sorta agree… Well not really with the things your mom thinks but that they’re not really great names. However [name]Quincey[/name] and [name]Noelle[/name] are AWesome names!! Harbors great too! But [name]Liberty[/name] and [name]Harbor[/name] sound funny like a tourist place you go by the statue of liberty orsimething…

Hello!
Though [name]Liberty[/name] isn’t my style, I [name]LOVE[/name] the nn [name]Libby[/name]. I would use it if I loved it, regardless of what other people think. After all, it’s you baby and your choice completely (and your partner’s of course :wink:
I’m not a fan of [name]Elettra[/name]. I think only of [name]Electra[/name], which reminds me of electricity. You could use the nn [name]Ellie[/name], which is adorable. However all things considered, I find [name]Elettra[/name] would be best used in the mn spot.
I’m not a fan of [name]Harbor[/name]. Maybe [name]Marina[/name] or [name]Bay[/name] would appeal to you? I like [name]Harper[/name] as well.
[name]Quincy[/name] is a very masculine name for me and I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Quinn[/name] for a boy! For a girl, I’m not sold.
[name]Noelle[/name] is by far my favorite of these names. It’s sweet and flows well with many names. I love its sound. Here are some suggestions:

[name]Annora[/name]
[name]Aster[/name]/[name]Astrid[/name]
[name]Beatriz[/name]/x
[name]Callista[/name]

I knew a girl named [name]Trinity[/name] [name]Anne[/name]. I think this is quite pretty.

[name]Just[/name] wanted to say that my husband and I just got into an argument over [name]Elettra[/name] because he also thinks that it is a “stripper name”. That’s actually how I found this post. I think that [name]Elettra[/name] is gorgeous. You should go for it.
