Hey berries! It’s been a while since I’ve posted.
What do you think of these names below? I’m considering adding them to my current list!
[name_f]Lucienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Raina[/name_f]
[name_f]Aya[/name_f]
[name_f]Leona[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
[name_f]Madelief[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_f]TIA[/name_f]!
I really love [name_f]Willa[/name_f] and [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]. The other names are not really my style. I haven’t heard [name_f]Aya[/name_f] before, I like it.
Favourites in order:
[name_f]Lucienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Raina[/name_f]
[name_f]Leona[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
All the names above sound so queenly and sophisticated, but they also feel accessible and sweet. Great names!
I don’t like [name_f]Aya[/name_f]. It reminds of the greeting “hiya!” and that silly karate chop word, “hi -YAH!” It also looks too much like [name_f]Ava[/name_f]. And to me it seems insubstantial.
I do like the the names [name_f]Willa[/name_f]… only [name_m]William[/name_m] is such a popular name for boys now! I just wouldn’t want my daughter to be a [name_f]Willa[/name_f] in the class with two other [name_m]Wills[/name_m]/[name_m]Williams[/name_m]/Willies. Maybe that’s just me. Besides, it strikes me as more common sounding than most of the other names.
I also like [name_f]Madelief[/name_f]. [name_f]Willa[/name_f] and [name_f]Madelief[/name_f] go very well together, they just sound a little more breezy than the others.
[name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] - pretty, but something holds me back. I like [name_f]Luciana[/name_f], or, even more, [name_f]Liliana[/name_f], better.
[name_f]Raina[/name_f] - nice name, although I’ve never been particularly wowed by it.
[name_f]Aya[/name_f] - [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] the sound and the unexpected nature of it! I’ve always had a soft spot for [name_f]Aya[/name_f], although I’ve never had the guts to add it to my list. I’m not sure what name I would pair it with. I feel like I’d seen [name_f]Aya[/name_f] [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] as a combo somewhere on Nameberry, and that combo makes me happy. 
[name_f]Leona[/name_f] - LOVELOVELOVE [name_f]Leona[/name_f]! I wish I could find a combo for her. I prefer her as a middle, but she doesn’t seem to work with most of the FNs I don’t have paired up yet on my list. I’ve been tossing around [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Leona[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Leona[/name_f], but I’m not sure.
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] - lovely, but not something I’d use, personally.
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] - like it a lot, but probably wouldn’t use it. I grew up with a [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] (although she spelled it differently), so I sometimes wonder if it wouldn’t be confusing.
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] - like it, but I prefer [name_f]Maddalena[/name_f] and [name_f]Madelief[/name_f].
[name_f]Madelief[/name_f] - 
[name_f]Madelief[/name_f] takes me to my happy place! I love that she means “daisy”, and I think [name_f]Della[/name_f] or [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] would be adorable nns for her. I don’t have the guts to use her up front (I think my sister and mom would murder me if I did!), but I have her on my list as a MN right now ([name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Madelief[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]).
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] - nice name, but I like other [name_f]Cora[/name_f] names more. For some reason, I always think of cordial cherries? I do love [name_f]Coralie[/name_f], though.
[name_f]Madelief[/name_f], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], [name_f]Leona[/name_f], and [name_f]Aya[/name_f] are my favorites, in that order!
I love [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], [name_f]Leona[/name_f], and [name_f]Willa[/name_f]!
[name_f]Lucienne[/name_f]: I prefer shorter [name_f]Luci[/name_f] names such as [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] but it is ok.
[name_f]Raina[/name_f]: As I am watching Nashville at the moment all I can think of (even though it is spelt differently) is [name_f]Rayna[/name_f] [name_u]James[/name_u], however I do quite like it. but I can’t say I love it.
[name_f]Aya[/name_f]: I want to like it, as I like short names however all I can hear is Hiya!
[name_f]Leona[/name_f]: I really like [name_f]Leona[/name_f] and although it reminds me of [name_f]Leona[/name_f] [name_m]Lewis[/name_m] (UK singer) I don’t see that as a bad thing.
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]: I want to like [name_f]Willa[/name_f] but I just can’t
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]: it’s ok
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]: Really love [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] and the possible nicknames
[name_f]Madelief[/name_f]: I just can’t quite like this name it just makes me think of relief
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]: I do like [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] although it is a little harsh sounding
