I’m not the kind of person who cares a lot about popular names so I don’t mind suggestions from top 10ish. I’m also not pregnant but I’m trying and I want to start my baby names list as soon as I can. I have a thing for names with the sound of “ee” somewhere in it and I would love some ideas coming from you guys. I don’t exactly have a pattern, it’s just the names I like and the names I dislike. And it doesn’t make a difference where the sound is (beginning, middle or end) or if it’s the strongest or weakest sound of the name. I just like the warmth the sound brings to a name.
Some of the names I like: [name_f]Kalina[/name_f], [name_f]Malina[/name_f], [name_f]Malia[/name_f], [name_f]Chloe[/name_f], [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], [name_f]Brittany[/name_f], [name_u]Riley[/name_u], [name_f]Elisa[/name_f], [name_f]Davina[/name_f].
Some of the ones I don’t like: [name_f]Eva[/name_f], [name_u]Ashley[/name_u], [name_f]Hayley[/name_f], [name_u]Bailey[/name_u], [name_u]Casey[/name_u], [name_f]Desiree[/name_f], [name_f]Aimee[/name_f], [name_f]Dixie[/name_f], [name_u]Jessie[/name_u].
I also really favour that sound, and have a few on my list:
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Macy[/name_f]
[name_f]Niamh[/name_f]
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_u]Sydney[/name_u]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Annalise[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
[name_u]Reese[/name_u]
[name_f]Liliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
Never thought of [name_f]Elina[/name_f], what a beautiful name! And I love [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] and [name_f]Millie[/name_f], but I’m a bit afraid they’re not names that age well, you know what I mean?
[name_u]True[/name_u], it can be difficult. I guess it depends where you live, but I think it becoming much more familiar in many places. As much as I tend to prefer original spellings, there’s always the anglicised [name_f]Neve[/name_f] that is a common alternative.
I plan on using [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] as a nickname for [name_f]Mae[/name_f], not sure if that would appeal to you or not, but I think it helps it age better.
[name_f]Millie[/name_f] could be a nickname for [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] or [name_f]Camilla[/name_f].
