Names like Daphne

Girl Names
1

My favorite girl name is [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]. Problem being, my husband has a negative association with a Daveney and won’t budge.

Names like [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] that aren’t [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]?

I’ve looked all through different sites lists of similar names and none are doing it for me. I would like [name_f]Evadne[/name_f] if [name_u]Everly[/name_u] and [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] weren’t crazy popular. I love [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] but it feels too frilly for us. [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] is great but just doesn’t feel like us either.

Right now our top girl choice is [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] and I have a growing crush on [name_f]Enid[/name_f]. DD is [name_f]Iris[/name_f].
