Names like Willa, Esme, Daisy and Iris?

Dizzybee · March 25, 2018, 7:23pm

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries,

So I had my top names picked for baby #3 but unfortunately for various reasons DH is not keen on any of them!

Could anyone throw me some inspiration for names with the same feel as [name_f]Willa[/name_f], [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] please? I especially loved [name_f]Willa[/name_f] but can’t explain why exactly.

Siblings are [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] ([name_u]Sully[/name_u]) and [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u].

Thanks!

[name_f]Willa[/name_f] makes me think of [name_f]Willa[/name_f] Cather. Other writer names that feel a bit similar to me are [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], [name_f]Edna[/name_f], [name_u]Flannery[/name_u].

[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] as florals — what about [name_f]Irene[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Iris[/name_f] or [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]. Other lovely floral names: [name_f]Lilac[/name_f], [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f], [name_f]Tansy[/name_f], [name_f]Viola[/name_f], [name_f]Jessamine[/name_f], [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f].

[name_f]Esme[/name_f] is gorgeous with that z sound I love. Maybe [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] (floral and z sound), [name_f]Tamsin[/name_f], [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], [name_f]Mazarine[/name_f], [name_f]Liza[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Azure[/name_f].

Good luck!
