I just wanted some opinions in these unusual names that have attracted me recently…
Usually I look at previous threads to gather views in names but most of these don’t seem to have any!
Would love general thoughts, impressions, sibset ideas, nickname options etc.
Nickname ideas for names that you didn’t list a nickname for:
[name_f]Acantha[/name_f]- [name_f]Antha[/name_f]
[name_f]Atalanta[/name_f]- [name_f]Atty[/name_f], Lan
[name_f]Peridot[/name_f]- [name_f]Perri[/name_f], [name_f]Do[/name_f]ë
wow i really like all of these names! they’re so beautiful! some are going on my list for sure! my favorites are [name_f]Indira[/name_f] nn [name_f]Indy[/name_f], Elsinore nn [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] nn [name_f]Posey[/name_f], and I love [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] and [name_f]Eudora[/name_f] but personally I wouldn’t use a nn for those two. best of luck!
I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Indira[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Indie[/name_f] as a nn. [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] is gorgeous! I pronounce it with a th sound rather than a T, but I still think [name_f]Tess[/name_f] is a lovely nn. [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] is really sweet. I like [name_u]Percy[/name_u] as a nn, but [name_f]Posey[/name_f] is lovely if you want something more feminine. I think I prefer [name_f]Eudora[/name_f] of [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] slightly because [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] has put me off -Is names since she would probably be nicknamed [name_u]Issy[/name_u]. [name_f]Peridot[/name_f] is okay, I’d rather [name_u]Peri[/name_u] on its own though.
@carysmarie I completely agree about the [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] thing! [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] is just too popular for [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] to stay unique.
Also I forgot to include one name in the OP- [name_f]Zenovia[/name_f]! Would love to hear [name_m]Moore[/name_m] thoughts
I like a lot of these! My favorites are [name_f]Indira[/name_f] ([name_f]Indy[/name_f]), Elsinore ([name_f]Elsie[/name_f]), [name_f]Alethea[/name_f] ([name_f]Thea[/name_f]), [name_f]Melisandre[/name_f] ([name_f]Lissa[/name_f]), [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] ([name_f]Tess[/name_f]), [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] ([name_f]Posey[/name_f]), and [name_f]Peridot[/name_f] (maybe nn [name_f]Perri[/name_f]/[name_u]Peri[/name_u]/[name_f]Doe[/name_f])!
