Name List Under Construction—Opinions and Suggestions Please!

Girl Names
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! My name list has been lacking for a while now, but I haven’t felt like posting. Please help!Suggestions (especially for middle names) and opinions welcomed!
Please, tell me what you think of the name/name combo, how practical it would be on a possible human child, who you image that person would be (be descriptive of the personality, appearance, etc), and of any possible nickname opportunities (even creative ones!). As you’ll be able to tell, I love elegant, whimsical, if not even romantic, with a hint of nature- or vintage-inspired names and combos!

  1. [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] - “[name_u]Rori[/name_u]” - this has a nice fresh simplicity to it while also sounding magical. Though it does sound a tiny bit like orally i just realised. Aurora Lark? Aurora Lillian, Aurora Lucy
  2. [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] - I adore these two together - perfectly balanced
  3. [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] - I love the versatility and classic feel
  4. [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] - I want to love it since I really like both Names but something about it doesn’t sit right for me. [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]? [name_u]Romy[/name_u] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f]? [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f]?
  5. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] - sweet and simple, but I have to admit it lacks the wow factor of some of your others. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]? [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]?
  6. [name_f]Opal[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - stunning! [name_f]Opal[/name_f] [name_f]Estella[/name_f] would also be nice
  7. [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] ____ [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] is nice. A bold choice but I think it could work. Ava, Vera, Vivi, Lana Enna, Landry could be nn
    [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Chloe[/name_f], [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]
  8. [name_f]Jade[/name_f] ____ [name_f]Jade[/name_f] [name_f]Estella[/name_f], [name_f]Jade[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Jade[/name_f] [name_f]Lillia[/name_f]/[name_f]Lilliana[/name_f]
  9. [name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] - sounds magical. I like it.
  10. [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] - well balanced, pretty and strong. Love Indie, Rosie and Rosa for nn! Roz, Sallie, Sadie maybe?
  11. [name_u]Wren[/name_u] ____ [name_u]Wren[/name_u] is lovely but so hard to pair! [name_u]Wren[/name_u] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f], [name_u]Wren[/name_u] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], [name_u]Wren[/name_u] [name_f]Camila[/name_f], [name_u]Wren[/name_u] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], Wren [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]
  12. [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] ____ - I love how down to earth yet starry [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] feels. [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f], [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f], [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Annabel[/name_f], [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], Lyra Sapphira, Lyra Jolie.
  13. [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] - sweet and simple, elegant but not fussy
  14. [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] - stunningly pretty and well balanced. Lissy would make a sweet nn
  15. [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] - “[name_f]Lily[/name_f]” - this is lovely but also safe? [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] [name_f]Ocean[/name_f], [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] [name_f]Raine[/name_f], [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] Wildrose , Liliana Moon, Liliana Juno would be bolder choices. [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is nice enough though. Lilia Mae would be nice too
  16. [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] - amazing!! I love this spelling of Isobel and how these two sound together. I love Nola and Noa as possible nn! Mila, Mia or Mo could work too
  17. [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] - really love this! Plus I like how Frankie makes the frilliness of the name more versatile? I also like the possibility of Chessie as a nn

  1. [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] “[name_u]Rori[/name_u]” - I’m not the biggest fan of [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], but [name_u]Rory[/name_u] is sweet. I prefer this spelling. And [name_f]Lily[/name_f] sounds fresh in the middle.
  2. [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] - This is a stunning name. I love it.
  3. [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] - I love this, too. [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] is one of my favorite middle names. I think the double vowels of this and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] seem so sophisticated.
  4. [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] - Perhaps a bit too whimsical for a real child? I do like [name_f]Ramona[/name_f], though.
  5. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] - A little more popular and lackluster than some of your other options, but still a nice name. I love [name_f]Rose[/name_f].
  6. [name_f]Opal[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - This is nice and spunky. Would work well on a real child.
  7. [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] - I think this is too out-there for a real baby, especially with the “lav” syllable, it just makes me think of lavatories.
  8. [name_f]Jade[/name_f] - I don’t love [name_f]Jade[/name_f]. It seems dated to me.
  9. [name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] - Not my style, but fine. I personally think [name_f]Luna[/name_f] works better as a pet name.
  10. [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] - Stunning. I love this one.
  11. [name_u]Wren[/name_u] - I really like [name_u]Wren[/name_u], but it’s such a simple name, I can’t imagine her going by a nickname half the time.
  12. [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] - A lovely name, I would prefer a different middle than [name_f]Jade[/name_f].
  13. [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] - [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] and spunky and unexpected!
  14. [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] - Very nice. I love [name_f]Clementine[/name_f].
  15. [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] “[name_f]Lily[/name_f]” - My name is [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and I love it, but I think it’s overdone at this point. [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] especially seems like a filler name rather than an exciting fresh choice.
  16. [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f], but I’m not sure it has the elegant feel you’re going for. This is my favorite spelling of [name_f]Isobel[/name_f].
  17. [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] - I don’t love [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] or [name_u]Frankie[/name_u].

Overall, my favorites that also match your description of your style are:
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Opal[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

Here are my thoughts:

  1. [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] - “[name_u]Rori[/name_u]”,-I like both [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] & [name_f]Lily[/name_f], but it’s a bit of a tongue twister. Maybe that’s just me. [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] itself is actually sort of tricky to say, but it is lovely. It conveys a soft yet strong feeling, like the [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] Borealis. I don’t love [name_u]Rori[/name_u], but if you were to do it, [name_u]Rory[/name_u] looks more natural.

  2. [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]-I never could get into [name_f]Iris[/name_f]. It just sounds schreechy to me, if that makes any sense. [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] is way too…evangelistic for my tastes.

  3. [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] - nickname options (would pick one based upon personality and call them this 90% of the time): [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_f]Nellie[/name_f], [name_f]Nelle[/name_f], or even [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]-I love it! [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is strong yet sweet. [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] is my favorite nn, but there are lots of goods ones.

  4. [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f]-Hm. I never thought I like [name_f]Lavender[/name_f], but it’s kind of cool as a nn. [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] is not my personal favorite, but it’s not bad. Sounds serious & smart. Could you do the nn [name_f]Nonie[/name_f] or [name_f]Nona[/name_f]?

  5. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]-Pretty! [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is sophisticated & feminine. I love the nn [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] too.

  6. [name_f]Opal[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]-I want to like this, but it’s just too old lady for me.

  7. [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] ____-It seems a bit much for a fn. My sister met a long haired Dashund named this the other day, & I thought it was awfully cute for a dog! I do love the nn [name_f]Livy[/name_f] though, which could work here.

  8. [name_f]Jade[/name_f] ____- I don’t know about this. It doesn’t sound that pretty for some reason.

  9. [name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]-I know about six dogs named this, so it seems tired.

  10. [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] - nickname options: [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], [name_f]Indie[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f]/[name_f]Rosa[/name_f], [name_f]Lindy[/name_f], Liddy, or even [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]/[name_f]Sophie[/name_f]-Beautiful! Classy with a little spunk.

  11. [name_u]Wren[/name_u] ____ - possible nickname (would go by this 50-60% of the time): [name_f]Birdie[/name_f]?-Hah, that nn my be a bit of a stretch. I don’t think that [name_u]Wren[/name_u] sounds that nice. Sort of harsh, even though it conveys a lovely bird.

  12. [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] ____ - (obsessed with one’s [name_u]Berry[/name_u]’s daighter’s name of [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f]!),-[name_f]Lyra[/name_f] is nice. I like the whimsical musical quality it conveys. No nns really though. Maybe [name_f]Lulu[/name_f]?

  13. [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]-[name_u]Love[/name_u] it! I don’t see any great nns here either, but [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] is gorgeous.

  14. [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]-So sweet! Old timey charm. I don’t care fo [name_u]Allie[/name_u] though, & [name_f]Alice[/name_f] kind of seems to be getting popular.

  15. [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] - “[name_f]Lily[/name_f]”-That’s nice. I think [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] is more unique than [name_f]Lilian[/name_f] or [name_f]Lily[/name_f], so that’s good to set apart. I like [name_f]Ani[/name_f] too as a nn. More unique.

  16. [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] - [name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_f]Noa[/name_f], [name_f]Nola[/name_f], [name_f]Nolia[/name_f], or even [name_u]Izzy[/name_u]/[name_f]Isobel[/name_f].-Aw, that’s lovely. Very strong & artsy.

  17. [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] - possible nickname (would go by this 50-60% of the time): [name_u]Frankie[/name_u]?-This is nice. I think it works best w/an Italian ln. I mainly love the nns [name_f]Franny[/name_f] & [name_f]Francie[/name_f]. [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] sounds a little mob boss.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. :slight_smile:

Woman after my own heart. We share many favourites.

  1. [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] - “[name_u]Rori[/name_u]”: [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] is my cat’s middle name. Big fan. But definitely [name_u]Rory[/name_u], not [name_u]Rori[/name_u]. [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is cute, but overused [name_f]IMO[/name_f].
  2. [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]: BEAUTIFUL.
  3. [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]: adorable. [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] is my favourite nickname for this
  4. [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f]: really not a fan of this one. [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] makes me think of like, your mom’s friend who talks too loudly and smokes a lot. [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] just makes me think of the appalling [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m] from [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m].
  5. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]: gorgeous.
  6. [name_f]Opal[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]: never been a fan of [name_f]Opal[/name_f].
  7. [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] ____: nope, see above re: [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]. Maybe [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] or [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] instead?
  8. [name_f]Jade[/name_f] ____: [name_f]Jade[/name_f] always just feels like a stripper name. What about [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f]?
  9. [name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]: GORGEOUS
  10. [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]: beautiful. [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] is my #1 name. [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] is a bit overused, but as a mn it’s not too bad. What about the old-fashioned variant, [name_f]Sophronia[/name_f]?
  11. [name_u]Wren[/name_u]: I love bird names, but [name_u]Wren[/name_u] is just immediately associated to the [name_m]Even[/name_m] Stevens character.
  12. [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] ____ : YES. Especially if you’re a His Dark Materials fan. This is a solid name. [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]? [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f]? [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Fiona[/name_f]?
  13. [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]: cute, but I prefer [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] to [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], which sounds like a cat name
  14. [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]: [name_u]LOVE[/name_u]. Also love [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] as a first name, nicknamed [name_u]Clem[/name_u]. [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]?
  15. [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]: not a fan of this one. [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-names are so ubiquitous.
  16. [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]: SOOOO cute. I knew a toddler [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]. Went by [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] or [name_f]Nola[/name_f]. [name_f]Nola[/name_f] is very cute [name_f]IMO[/name_f].
  17. [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]: never been a fan of [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] for girls. [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is cute.

Additional suggestions- some from my signature haha:

[name_f]Allegra[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Agatha[/name_f]
[name_f]Sonora[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], nicknamed [name_u]Sunny[/name_u]
