Names at odd!

Girl Baby Names
#1

So my boyfriend and I are newly pregnant and whilst I don’t want to jinx things I have been thinking about names because we have a little bit of a problem. I like what I would call vintage, British, cottage core , maybe a few [name_u]French[/name_u] names thrown in too with a little twist type names and he likes more…I don’t really get his style.

I like [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f], [name_f]Jemima[/name_f], [name_f]Primrose[/name_f], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f], [name_f]Manon[/name_f], [name_f]Anais[/name_f], [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f].

He likes, and I quote: “Mia is quite nice and I like [name_f]Freya[/name_f] and Cara.”

Now I could get on board with [name_f]Freya[/name_f] except it’s quite popular in [name_u]Scotland[/name_u] (where we live). He has expressed an interest in using Scottish and Polish names (his mum is Polish).

Help!

I’d love some suggestions based on our styles.

[name_m]Just[/name_m] some Scottish names I like:

[name_u]Skye[/name_u]
[name_f]Isla[/name_f]
[name_f]Eileen[/name_f] (or the [name_u]French[/name_u] Elaine)
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
Blair(e)
[name_f]Yvaine[/name_f] (I also like the [name_u]French[/name_u] Yvette)
[name_f]Iona[/name_f]

Polish I like and could work:
[name_f]Genia[/name_f]
[name_f]Faustina[/name_f]
[name_f]Kasia[/name_f] (same meaning and root as Cara)
[name_f]Lidia[/name_f]
[name_f]Celestina[/name_f]

#3

[name_f]Marcelina[/name_f] may bridge both of your styles (or Marceline). [name_u]Or[/name_u] perhaps [name_f]Antonina[/name_f] (nn Tosha) could work for you?

#4

Some suggestions

[name_f]Faye[/name_f]
[name_f]Effie[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Ada[/name_f]
[name_f]Adela[/name_f]
[name_f]Paulina[/name_f] “Polly”
[name_f]Frederica[/name_f]

#5

From your list I would most expect [name_f]Anais[/name_f] to fit his style. Would [name_f]Inez[/name_f], [name_f]Anya[/name_f], [name_f]Aida[/name_f] or [name_f]Elda[/name_f] appeal?

From his list like your said [name_f]Freya[/name_f] is most fitting of your style, how about [name_f]Frida[/name_f]? Other ideas could be [name_f]Agatha[/name_f], [name_f]Hilda[/name_f], [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] (although it seems like his preference is short names!)

Best of luck!

To be honest, I don’t think your styles are all too dissimilar! I think you can come to an agreement. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the pp suggestion of [name_f]Frida[/name_f]! I think that would fit both of your styles well.

[name_f]Halina[/name_f]
Frøya
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Nadia[/name_f]
[name_f]Sabina[/name_f]
Isolde/Iseult
[name_f]Zosia[/name_f]

[name_f]Lilias[/name_f]
[name_f]Sorcha[/name_f]

[name_f]Mia[/name_f] is a nice nickname option, or even the more Eastern European: [name_f]Mila[/name_f].
Maybe a longer name with a nickname that he loves would blend your styles…

For Mia/Mila:
[name_f]Amalia[/name_f]
[name_f]Maelys[/name_f]
[name_f]Naomi[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]
[name_f]Magdalena[/name_f]

or maybe he would like one of these nicknames:
[name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] “Mina, [name_f]Willa[/name_f], Minnie”
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] “Winnie, Ella”
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] “Cordy, Delia”
[name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] “Lola”
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] “Molly, [name_f]Goldie[/name_f], Maisie”
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f] “Romy”
[name_f]Leona[/name_f]
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] “Fern, [name_f]Fay[/name_f], Frankie”

Some Polish names:
[name_f]Adela[/name_f] “Della”
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Leocadia[/name_f] “Leo”
Sabine/a
[name_f]Antonina[/name_f] “Nina”

Scottish:
[name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Marsaili[/name_f]
Ailsa/Elsa
[name_u]Skye[/name_u]

[name_u]Or[/name_u] something modern/boho might suit both of your styles:
[name_u]Willow[/name_u]
[name_u]Cadence[/name_u]
[name_u]Cedar[/name_u]
[name_f]Lua[/name_f]
[name_u]Shiloh[/name_u]
[name_f]Anouk[/name_f]
[name_f]Maya[/name_f]
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f]
[name_u]Honor[/name_u]
[name_f]Lumi[/name_f]
[name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_f]Selah[/name_f]
[name_f]Nina[/name_f]

Here are some suggestions of names you might both like:

[name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] (Nora)
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f]
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] (Mila)
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Henrieta[/name_f] (Hattie/Etta)
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Milla[/name_f]
[name_f]Philipa[/name_f] (Pippa)
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Willamina[/name_f] (Willa)

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite choices for you are [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] (Nora), [name_f]Philipa[/name_f] (Pippa), and [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] (Hattie/Etta). They are Polish, to honor your boyfriend’s mum, but also seem to fit your lovey vintage/cottage core name aesthetic. Additionally, they all have darling nicknames that seem to fit your boyfriend’s “short and sweet” name style. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps!

Perhaps you could come to a compromise by using some names that are popular in Poland but fit your style more?

[name_f]Lena[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], [name_f]Helena[/name_f], [name_f]Liliana[/name_f], [name_f]Natalia[/name_f], [name_f]Nina[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Diana[/name_f] and [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] are all top 100 names in Poland that might be to your taste.

I think [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] would be great for you - similar to [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] which you like and could have the nn [name_f]Mia[/name_f].

Lucja/ [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] / [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
