@rkrd: Thank you! [name_f]My[/name_f] favorites from your list are [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], and [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]. [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], and [name_u]Wren[/name_u] are all unusable for me due to having family members with the same or similar names. I’m not a fan of double barrel names, but I really like [name_f]Ava[/name_f] on her own.

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Selena[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Elena[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
[name_f]Estella[/name_f]
[name_f]Honora[/name_f]
[name_f]Linnea[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]

[name_f]Rosette[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Antoinette[/name_f]
[name_f]Christine[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliette[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Coralie[/name_f] / [name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Liliana[/name_f] / [name_f]Lily[/name_f]

[name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f], and [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] are also pretty feminine and certainly familiar.

Also just generally, I suggest looking at a list of [name_m]French[/name_m] girl names. I find them to be lovely and feminine in general, but not too unusual.
And there’s also the option of names with feminine meanings, even if they don’t necessarily sound super frilly. [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_u]Dove[/name_u], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], etc. You know, just throwing that out there.

@grackym: You made such a great list! I like all of your names, but my very favorites are [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], and [name_f]Elena[/name_f]. These three are definitely going on my list! Thank you :slight_smile:

At your suggestion, I used the “Find a Name” tool on Nameberry and looked up girl names with [name_m]French[/name_m] origins, and found several more names I like - [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], [name_f]Elise[/name_f], [name_f]Natalie[/name_f], [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], and [name_f]Corinne[/name_f].
