Name Hunt (Girls Edition/Number I've Lost Track)

Edited

Of this list, I like Nivika best

[name_f]Astoria[/name_f] is very pretty, never thought of it as a name before.

[name_f]Astoria[/name_f] is beautiful, my favorite of your list.

What happened to [name_f]Zelia[/name_f]??? That is by far my favorite still. I like [name_f]Astoria[/name_f]…but I have family in [name_f]Astoria[/name_f], Queens…so the place connection is too much of a thing for me. I’m not really convinced about [name_f]Stormy[/name_f] as a nickname. If you like [name_f]Stormy[/name_f], I would just use that name…but [name_f]Zelia[/name_f] is so much prettier!

Nivika is okay, but I have a hard time deciding which syllable to emphasize…I do not like [name_f]Una[/name_f] and especially [name_f]Unna[/name_f]. I just think of Uno and the sound isn’t appealing to me. I’ve never heard of Veslemay and so I do not know how to pronounce it. I love [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] and Gweneira. They are better for me than [name_f]Astoria[/name_f]. [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] is okay but kind of bland next to your other children. Iselda is lovely…so it would be choice after the [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] names. [name_f]Constance[/name_f] is a cool name, but I prefer it as a middle. I can’t not mention it again: [name_f]Zelia[/name_f] [name_f]Constance[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] was absolutely darling and none of the other names live up to it now…for me. But I guess [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] or Gweneira or Iselda would be my next choices.

I love your names (as always :))

[name_f]Unna[/name_f]/[name_f]Una[/name_f]- I think this is pretty! It’s a short but warm name, and I’m fairly sure it’s extremely pronounceable. I would prefer it with the double n.
[name_f]Astoria[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Stormy[/name_f]?)- This is very beautiful and regal and the nickname [name_f]Stormy[/name_f] is just too cute! No problems saying this one, but I suppose some people who are not as good with names might. I think mispronounciation will be rare, however, so I wouldn’t let that stop you.
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f]- this was actually my favorite name when I first got into names, so what memories! It’s a fairly preppy name that makes me think of the royal family and would sibset E v e and D u l c i n e a extraordinarily. Of course, no pronunciation trouble here. :slight_smile:
Gweneira- I dislike GW names but even this I found very pretty. It’s newer than the usual [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f], etc. Might have a bit of pronunciation trouble on the ei part.
[name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f]- Gw names are not my thing, really… I’m going to pass commenting on this one.
Veslemay (originally Veslemøy)- Okay, I don’t know how to pronounce this. It looks beautiful, but I actually really don’t know how to say it. [name_m]How[/name_m] would you say it?
Nivika- Pretty and creative. I think it sounds very Norwegian, if you like that. I doubt many pronunciation errors will be made.
[name_f]Constance[/name_f]- I simply dislike this name… :frowning: it’s just quite the opposite of my style.
Iselda nn [name_f]Zelda[/name_f]- Very pretty, mythological, and has a nice nickname. What else can I say?

I have to say, I miss [name_f]Zelia[/name_f]. What happened to it?

Best,
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f]

[name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] and [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] feel too mainstream compared to your kiddos’ names, honestly. They’re both beautiful, though. I think [name_f]Una[/name_f] (spelled this way; I think [name_f]Unna[/name_f] will be pronounced with a short u sound), [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] and Iselda are my favorites. I like these because they’re familiar but still hidden gems? That’s the same feel I get from your other kids’ names, so I would assume that’s the direction you’d go in with this bubba? I think Veslemay is just too much for an American kid. I know you love [name_f]Constance[/name_f], but I can’t get past “constipated.” I think this one is also so bland and fussy compared to the other names on your list. Nivika is alright, but I’m just not sure which syllable to pronounce and I think it doesn’t fit in very well with E and D’s names. (Doesn’t necessarily have to, either; no one really knows your sibling names and it really doesn’t matter anyways. It just feels stylistically very different?) Fingers crossed you’ll come to a conclusion soon!

My personal favorite is [name_f]Constance[/name_f]! I find it absolutely stunning, and Iam surprised its not popular. The only drawback I think is the nickname [name_f]Conny[/name_f].

[name_f]Una[/name_f], [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] and [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] are my second choices. Great names, especially [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f]. [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] is fitting more in your sibset though.

Gweneira, Veslemay, Nivika seem to me more difficult names to use. They arent way too out there but they seem hard to wear. Gweneira sounds the most usable out of this three, especially with the adorable nickname [name_f]Eira[/name_f].

[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] is okay, it just seems too common & plain next to your kids names. Maybe [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] or [name_f]Georgina[/name_f]?

Iselda nn [name_f]Zelda[/name_f]: Its beautiful but I find Iselda short enough to not need a nickname. And [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] seems like a whole different name, that you can use on its own. Maybe its just me though.

Good luck! :slight_smile:

I like:
[name_f]Una[/name_f] – I think [name_f]Una[/name_f] is fun and spunky, but it’s not the best to balance out your other daughters’ names (if that doesn’t bother you, I think this one is my favourite!).
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] – Southern and sweet, but it feels a bit off style-wise with your other kids. I really like it, though!
Gweneira – Pretty and has that ‘fairytale vibe’ I feel is present in your other children’s names.
Iselda ‘[name_f]Zelda[/name_f]’ – My favourite! It makes me think of an ice princess,

and I’m intrigued by [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] “[name_f]Stormy[/name_f]”. Very elegant and unexpected.

[name_f]Unna[/name_f]/[name_f]Una[/name_f] – I really like the meaning of ‘(to) love’. She’s short and sweet, with a nice strength and zest.
[name_f]Astoria[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Stormy[/name_f]?) – [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] has such a great sound and vibe - ancient, fairy-tale like feel. [name_f]Stormy[/name_f] makes a very cute nickname.
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] – Honestly, while sure it’s a nice name, in comparison to your other names, it’s extremely bland.
Gweneira – I love this, though do prefer the [name_f]Gwyneira[/name_f] spelling myself. Gweneira just feels, like, uneven/unbalanced, to me.
[name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] – Nice, but a little more on the [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] side for me.
Veslemay (originally Veslemøy) – I really like Veslemøy and her meaning. I do think however that it would be better suited as a middle name. As a first, you/she might well get a great many ‘what the?’ type looks. I don’t suppose you/he dig Vesna? Different origin and lacking the ‘may’ type sound, however, similar in part…?
Nivika – I do like this one quite a bit, but a good part of me just can’t seem to get past it’s trendy type of look. It’s got a lovely sound.
[name_f]Constance[/name_f] – See [name_f]Georgia[/name_f].
Iselda nn [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] – very nice. I like the softness of Iselda and the zestiness of [name_f]Zelda[/name_f]. Nice.

Of this list, my favourites are [name_f]Astoria[/name_f], Iselda & [name_f]Una[/name_f].

Of your new list I really love [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f], Gweneira, Iselda, and [name_f]Constance[/name_f]. I think Veslemay and Nivika are the ones that would be challenging for most people to pronounce/spell.

[name_f]Astoria[/name_f] is amazing

Veslemay sounds like a medication to me, sorry.

My favorite is [name_f]Astoria[/name_f]. It’s just right - interesting yet not unfamiliar ‘a hidden gem’, lyrical, pretty, energetic, with cute and fun nns to boot. It has a ‘light’ feel which I think [name_f]Eve[/name_f] and [name_f]Dulcinea[/name_f] do, too. A pp said fairytale feel which I think is a perfect summary. I like how it’s similar to all the star words - [name_f]Astra[/name_f], astro, etc…and the flower (aster, which is a lovely tie-in with sisters!), and the word story, which naming this girl has been one! Overall it seems a name I think any kind of girl/woman could be happy wearing!
Iselda is my second favorite. It’s not as pretty or whimsical as [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] imo, and I’ve never heard the name [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] [name_m]IRL[/name_m] and thought, ‘whoa, that’s just gorgeous!’, but I like it and it has an off-beat charm and a ‘serious yet likeable and intelligent’ vibe to me. My only downside to it is it reminds me slightly of [name_f]Imelda[/name_f] [name_m]Marcos[/name_m], but that’s faint and I imagine no issue at all for the younger crowd.
I really love [name_f]Una[/name_f] (I like the double oo’s best myself) and I think it’s a sweet, happy, yet intriguing and not overly heard name. It’s just not as fairytale as [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] or even Iselda, imo.
Gweneira is really pretty. I think I’d be pretty impressed if I met a little girl with this name. And I like the nn [name_f]Eira[/name_f], too. Really lovely!
[name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] is ok to me. It’s truly a name that I don’t gush over when I hear it, but I don’t dislike it. I do really like the nn [name_f]Wendy[/name_f] for you, for its fairytale/[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Pan[/name_m] vibe.
Veslemay - it’s nice, in theory. But I don’t like the [name_f]May[/name_f] nn for your fall baby, and Vesla seems very Nordic, in maybe a ‘not so pretty but clunky’ way.
Nivika - I like this but I prefer Nikolaia by miles. I would truly be intrigued if I met a little girl named this, though, and I could see it really growing on me.
[name_f]Constance[/name_f] - well, I won’t say a word, but I do like the nn [name_f]Tansy[/name_f]!
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] - my dads name is [name_m]George[/name_m] and the whole time we were growing up everyone in my entire family (including me dad) thought this was the worst name of all time. We couldn’t imagine why our grandma picked it. It didn’t sound at all pleasing to any of us. Now it is coming back into fashion and it has grown on me quite a bit, but I would never claim it as a personal favorite. I do think it makes your girls names overall much more mainstream and current, and that would be fine, imo. [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], and [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] make for a fine, slightly English-sounding, sweet set.

It means treasure? [name_m]How[/name_m] sweet is that! (And I had never heard of Asthore before!). This name really seems to embody a lot iof the big picture ideas you’ve been investigating the last few months, plus now such a lovely literature tie-in!

I love [name_f]Astoria[/name_f]. [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] [name_f]Constance[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is beautiful… The flow is flawless. I am not sold on the nn [name_f]Stormy[/name_f] however. It could grow on me, but I don’t find it intuitive. [name_u]Story[/name_u] feels like the natural nn and I love it. ([name_f]Tori[/name_f], [name_u]Rory[/name_u], [name_f]Ria[/name_f], or Riri Could work also)

Iselda is wonderful as well and [name_f]Zelda[/name_f]
Is cute. If you think she would
Go by [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] most of the time
I may not use it just because of the repeat Z names in the family. But that’s just me.

Veslemay is confusing to me. I forsee many pronunciation and spelling issues as well as blank stares. That may not bother you at all though.

The others all fall in neutral territory for me. They are all nice, but do not evoke a strong reaction from me one way or the other.

[name_f]Astoria[/name_f] is my favorite!

[name_f]Astoria[/name_f] is by far my favorite. [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] [name_f]Constance[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is gorgeous.

[name_f]Stormy[/name_f], as lovely as it is, isn’t as intuitive for a nickname as I usually prefer, however it’s not too far off to work. I agree with the pp that [name_u]Story[/name_u] seems more intuitive. [name_f]Ria[/name_f] or [name_f]Astra[/name_f] could world. [name_u]Rory[/name_u] or [name_f]Rora[/name_f] could work as well.

I think Iselda is my second choice. I’m not overly keen on [name_f]Zelda[/name_f], however I think Zelly is adorable as a nickname.

[name_f]Glad[/name_f] to see you are finalizing some options!

[name_f]Una[/name_f]/[name_f]Unna[/name_f] - I like the Irish (?) [name_f]Oona[/name_f] a lot, but am not a huge fan of either of these spellings, unfortunately. [name_f]Una[/name_f] reminds me of the word for “one” in Spanish and Italian, and I want to say UN-nah rather than OO-nah for [name_f]Unna[/name_f] (is it Scandinavian? I feel like I read that when I was stalking your threads…). It’s not my favorite name ever, but certainly unique and a cool name. I’m not sure I can see [name_f]Una[/name_f] fitting in with your other kiddos.
[name_f]Astoria[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] a lot (although I’d probably use [name_f]Aster[/name_f] or [name_u]Story[/name_u] as a nn, personally [ETA: [name_f]RORA[/name_f]! I love that someone suggested this, because I thought of [name_u]Rory[/name_u], but I don’t really like [name_u]Rory[/name_u] for a girl anymore. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the totally unexpected [name_f]Rora[/name_f], though, and I think [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] nn [name_f]Rora[/name_f] would be pretty cool. [name_f]Rora[/name_f] could be a little weather-inspired, too, because of the roaring of the wind and the waves? A stretch, sure, but I still like it. lol]. But I think I read somewhere why you like [name_f]Stormy[/name_f] for her?).
Gweneira - This throws me off every time I see it, because I’m expecting [name_f]Gwyneira[/name_f]. I like it okay, but I’m not sure I’m a huge fan of the -eira ending.
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] - I like it a lot for you, actually, and I think it fits brilliantly with Ev.e and Dulc!nea. I can totally see her as your third girl. But can I just say pooo on [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] getting vetoed? Has he no appreciation for [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Austen[/name_u]?! :slight_smile: [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] would have been utter perfection with your kiddos in general, and with Ev!e and Da!sy in particular. I know you have Casp!an for C.S. [name_m]Lewis[/name_m], and Zeph@n for the Bible, but a name from classic literature would have been a fun new association in addition to geeky literature, Bible-literature, and [name_m]Christian[/name_m] literature. :slight_smile: boo.
[name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] - [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] is likewise perfect! I love it as a name, and it fits so well with your girls (and your children in general!). I think [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] and [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] sound really great with your surname, too. [name_f]Windy[/name_f] is cute, especially with your search for weather-inspired names, but I love the equally adorable [name_f]Gwen[/name_f], [name_f]Winnie[/name_f], and [name_f]Leni[/name_f], too.
Iselda - The more I see Iselda, the more it grows on me. I like [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] a lot, though, and, while unexpected, I definitely see it fitting in with your other five. Plus, I think the tie to [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] [name_m]Fitzgerald[/name_m] is sort of cool?
[name_f]Constance[/name_f] - not my cup of tea, but still a nice name. I like it better as a MN for you, though.

[name_m]How[/name_m] is Veslemay said? VESS-leh-may? It seems pretty straightforward to me, unless I’m missing something? I can see why it might be off, though. Nivika is cute, but a bit TOO spunky and unusual for me, so I’m glad to see it may be moved to the MN spot. I am not very good at putting combos together, for you, I think, but I think [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Constance[/name_f] [something] or [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] Nivika [something] would be really nice! And I also love [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] [name_f]Constance[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. Iselda [name_f]Constance[/name_f] seems a bit too frumpy old-lady to me (although I’m not sure why?), but [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] [name_f]Constance[/name_f] is brilliant! I surprisingly also like Iselda Veslemay?

Good luck!

Iselda, [name_f]Astoria[/name_f], and [name_f]Una[/name_f] are my favorites!!! They’re beautiful! And I’m not big on nicknames but I really like [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] and [name_f]Stormy[/name_f]!

I also really like Gweneira

Well, from you choices I like [name_f]Una[/name_f] and [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f]!
