Aww, I simply can’t say how happy these names make me. Finding new crushes is so exciting - and I have got some new, please check them out:)
[name]Esther[/name] - lovely meaning, sound and I feel it is seriously underused. The nn [name]Essie[/name]is just SO stunning that it makes me love the name even more.
[name]Virginia[/name] - I love how patriotic it feels and the nn [name]Ginger[/name] is cute. I think after all these “virgin” jokes people will understand what a great name it is.
[name]Georgina[/name] - again, patriotic feel but this one sounds fresher than simple [name]Georgia[/name]. It makes me think of very graceful skinny young lady with British accent. [name]Lovely[/name], isn’t it?
[name]Holland[/name] - I am in love with [name]Holly[/name] since childhood and [name]Holland[/name] seems like a fresher alternative. Plus, [name]Holland[/name] is a beautiful country. Maybe you will want to punch me in the face, but I actually find some trendy names amazing.
[name]Chantal[/name] - pictures a pretty blonde French girl but my only fear it seems dated. [name]Do[/name] you think so? I know a [name]Chantal[/name] who went by [name]Shanny[/name] when she was little. Interesting.
[name]Carmel[/name] - I have a tendency to love Israeli names and this is one. Maybe too close to caramel, but I also like [name]Candice[/name] so maybe this is it:)
[name]Lake[/name] and [name]River[/name] - I love how peaceful water bodies are and their names make great baby names, don’t they? I also heard Lakelyn nn [name]Lake[/name] and thought it was beautiful.
[name]Primrose[/name] - I am now torn between [name]Virginia[/name] and [name]Primrose[/name]. Maybe you could help me by telling which do you like more, I am undecided here. I am planning on nn [name]Rosie[/name] for [name]Primrose[/name].
Amity - wonderful meaning and I like how it refreshes Amy. Two birds with one stone!
If only I could have enough children to use all the names I like:) Fortunately, I can name my book characters.
[name]Feel[/name] free to share your crushes and long-time favorites, I am dying to learn about other names:)
[name]Georgina[/name] - I also have crush on this name
[name]Lucille[/name] - I think it’s so sweet
[name]Romilly[/name] - I have crush on this name for a long time
[name]Melisende[/name] - see above
[name]Elodie[/name] - before I prefer [name]Melody[/name], but now I prefer [name]Elodie[/name]
[name]Aline[/name]
[name]Aleta[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
I agree with you about [name]Melody[/name]/[name]Elodie[/name] and [name]Alice[/name]. [name]Aline[/name] is interesting.
I love [name]Esther[/name] (especially nn [name]Tess[/name]) and I love [name]Amity[/name].
I prefer Hollyn --even though it looks trendy, just because I don’t like “land” names.
[name]Esther[/name] - Agree that it’s underused and the nn [name]Essie[/name] is beautiful
[name]Virginia[/name] - [name]Love[/name] the nn [name]Ginger[/name] with it
[name]Georgina[/name] - Pretty
[name]Holland[/name]- While I agree that [name]Holly[/name] is pretty I’m not that into [name]Holland[/name], but I don’t really like people naming kids country names anyways.
[name]Chantal[/name] - It’s not really my style
[name]Carmel[/name] - Pretty and different
[name]Lake[/name] and [name]River[/name] - Hmmm… have never heard [name]Lake[/name] used as a name and only have ever seen [name]River[/name] used on a boy
[name]Primrose[/name] - [name]Primrose[/name] works for me in the middle name slot
[name]Amity[/name] - Gorgeous
@kala_way:Hollyn is pretty, I tend to love -lyn names in general:)
@jtucker: I haven’t met a baby [name]Lake[/name] but I know somebody who planned on using Lakelyn and I think it’s gorgeous.
[name]Esther[/name], [name]Virginia[/name] and [name]Georgina[/name] are all pretty. I like [name]River[/name] for a boy.
Crushes: [name]Indigo[/name], [name]Daphne[/name], [name]Eva[/name] and [name]Vera[/name]
I prefer [name]Primrose[/name]. I doubt if any of the Rosies I know are named that, but I know a number of Virginias. I love it when I meet someone with a name I’ve never seen [name]IRL[/name] before. [name]Rosie[/name] is a sweet nn.
My current name crush for girls is [name]Millicent[/name].
[name]Esther[/name] and [name]Carmel[/name] are beautiful! [name]Essie[/name] is cute, but makes me think of the nail polish brand.
My name crushes: [name]Amaya[/name], [name]Cecilia[/name], and [name]Kassiani[/name]. Crushing hard on [name]Kassiani[/name].
Hmm…
[name]Esther[/name] - I love this name she’s really pretty and elegant. I also like the nickname ‘[name]Essie[/name]’ its really sweet. [name]Esther[/name] is a gorgeous choice.
[name]Virginia[/name] - I’m not a [name]Virginia[/name] fan. I think the ‘virgin’ taunts could be difficult for a child. Despite being elegant the taunts are too much.
[name]Georgina[/name] - I’m not a ‘[name]George[/name]’ fan and I dislike her variants including [name]Georgina[/name]. I just think the ‘[name]George[/name]’ names are so unattractive.
[name]Holland[/name] - Yes [name]Holland[/name] (western part of the Netherlands) is gorgeous but I just find [name]Holland[/name] a little harsh as a first name, maybe an interesting middle name. [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Holland[/name] for example?
[name]Chantal[/name] - I’m not keen on [name]Chantal[/name] I find the name dated. [name]Even[/name] though this spelling isn’t as trashy/dated as [name]Chantelle[/name] and the spelling is classier I do think that the name has a dated feel.
[name]Carmel[/name] - My Grandfather was Israeli and my mother grew up their, and I’m used to these Israeli classics. I like [name]Carmel[/name] I think she’s pretty and has a lot of character.
[name]Lake[/name] and [name]River[/name] - I prefer [name]River[/name] for a boy I think a combination like [name]Elias[/name] [name]River[/name] is gorgeous, whereas I think [name]River[/name] is a little stereotypical for a girl. Still [name]Lake[/name] is a beautiful choice. I think as a middle name [name]Lake[/name] would be stunning. I like the combination [name]Vivienne[/name] [name]Lake[/name] for example.
[name]Primrose[/name] - Adorable! I love [name]Primrose[/name] such a gorgeous, flowery, timeless combination. [name]Primrose[/name] sounds beautiful and has a lot of femininity. [name]Primrose[/name] is lovely and the nickname ‘[name]Rosie[/name]’ has a really lovely feel as well. [name]Way[/name] better than [name]Virginia[/name].
[name]Amity[/name] - I love this spunky, feminine choice. [name]Amity[/name] sounds so fresh and even though I’m not an [name]Amy[/name] fan I think it’s lovely that [name]Amity[/name] refreshes that choice. [name]Amity[/name] just feels so fresh and delicate yet strong. [name]Lovely[/name] choice.
My crushes are: Clara, Beatrice, Elena & Amira
[name]Love[/name] [name]Esther[/name] and [name]Georgina[/name] from your list. [name]Esther[/name] is one of my crushes also.
I love
[name]Tabitha[/name]
[name]Magnolia[/name]
[name]Leonora[/name]
[name]Dorothea[/name]
Thank you ladies! I feel like I am leaning towards [name]Primrose[/name] too:)
From your crushes I love [name]Magnolia[/name], [name]Tabitha[/name], [name]Elena[/name], [name]Beatrice[/name](my crush too), [name]Eva[/name] and [name]Amaya[/name]. Amazing!
[name]Victoria[/name], these are some gorgeous names!
[name]Esther[/name]- a bit heavy and harsh for me, but [name]Queen[/name] [name]Esther[/name] is a great eponym (person after which a person/thing is named)
[name]Virginia[/name]- gorgeous, elegant, American Colonial feel. I agree it’s a great name! and [name]Queen[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] I is a wonderful eponym as well, one of my favourite monarchs
[name]Georgina[/name]- very upper-class British but also as you say, American patriotic. a winning combo!
[name]Holland[/name]- I would also really want to visit the Netherlands but have never been. [name]Holland[/name] is interesting as a name but I wonder how people actually from there would react?
[name]Chantal[/name]- not feminine enough for me, a bit cold
[name]Carmel[/name]- the similarity to [name]Marcel[/name] (just switch the letters around) makes this seem masculine to me, but I would like this
for a boy. I pronounce caramel as “care-uh-mell”, not “care-mell” or “car-mell”, so they’re not too similar for me
[name]Lake[/name] and [name]River[/name]- again, not really all that feminine. I like them better for boys
[name]Primrose[/name]- cute, buttoned-up and sweet. I think [name]Virginia[/name] [name]Primrose[/name] would make a lovely combo!
[name]Amity[/name]- interesting but you have better choices [name]IMO[/name]
My favourites from your list (if you can’t tell already) are [name]Virginia[/name], [name]Georgina[/name] and [name]Primrose[/name]. My favourites in general are in my signature. 
[name]Esther[/name] - I really love this one, I know an incredible yoga instructor in her 90’s named [name]Esther[/name]. It’s lovely and way underused, and [name]Essie[/name] is an adorable nickname!
[name]Virginia[/name] - I have an aunt named [name]Virginia[/name], who goes almost exclusively by [name]Ginny[/name]. While I can understand the appeal, it’s not really my style at all.
[name]Georgina[/name] - NMS, I’m not a fan of [name]George[/name] or any of it’s variants.
[name]Holland[/name] - My boyfriend is from [name]Holland[/name], so I do have a bit of soft spot for this name. [name]Holly[/name] is a lovely nickname too.
[name]Chantal[/name] - This one seems very dated to me. Here are some more modern French choices you might like: [name]Mireille[/name], [name]Elodie[/name], [name]Cosette[/name] (though this is not actually used as a name in [name]France[/name]), [name]Melisande[/name], [name]Amelie[/name], [name]Marguerite[/name], [name]Anais[/name], [name]Mathilde[/name], [name]Cecile[/name], [name]Delphine[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name], [name]Vivienne[/name], [name]Isabelle[/name], [name]Corinne[/name], [name]Claire[/name], [name]Victoire[/name], [name]Veronique[/name].
[name]Carmel[/name] - Really beautiful. This is also the name of a city just south of San [name]Francisco[/name], [name]CA[/name].
[name]Lake[/name] and [name]River[/name] - I like these, especially in the middle spot.
[name]Primrose[/name] ~ Also really like this in the middle spot. A great way to freshen up [name]Rose[/name].
[name]Amity[/name] - Really, really like.

I actually adore almost every single name on your list! I’d only question [name]Chantal[/name] (seems a little dated to me). I love [name]Lake[/name] for a girl and [name]River[/name] for a boy. [name]Esther[/name], [name]Primrose[/name] and [name]Amity[/name] are all gorgeous!
[name]Amity[/name] and [name]Georgina[/name] are my top loves from your list. I’ve loved [name]Amity[/name] forever, no associations hurt my love for it. [name]Georgina[/name] is a relatively new love, but it’s amazing nevertheless.
[name]Esther[/name] - I think it’s underused as well. It’s such a pretty name and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it make a comeback.
[name]Virginia[/name] - [name]Love[/name] it! It’s my favorite “state name”.
[name]Georgina[/name] - My favorite feminine [name]George[/name] name.
[name]Holland[/name] - I don’t care for it as a first name but it’s a nice middle name for those with Dutch roots.
[name]Chantal[/name] - I don’t care for it at all, I do think it’s dated.
[name]Carmel[/name] - reminds me of caramel.
[name]Lake[/name] and [name]River[/name] - No, especially [name]Lake[/name]. I like [name]River[/name] for a boy.
[name]Primrose[/name] - Would make an awesomely unexpected middle name.
[name]Amity[/name] - [name]One[/name] of my favorite virtue names.
[name]Love[/name] [name]Carmel[/name]! [name]Primrose[/name] and [name]Amity[/name] are both gorgeous as well.
My crushes are Fiordelise, [name]Cordelia[/name], [name]Xenia[/name] and [name]Bonnie[/name].
Thank you all. I am glad you enjoyed this;)
@ottilie - [name]Cordelia[/name] is gorgeous. Amazingly, one girl I know just had a baby named [name]Bonnie[/name] [name]Angelina[/name]. [name]Lovely[/name], isn’t it?
[name]Esther[/name] - cute!
[name]Virginia[/name] - Agree! <3 this
Georgina - cute!
