This is a post for my friend, who is not a berry but is having a daughter due [name_f]October[/name_f] 11. She is considering the following names and would like help narrowing the list down and suggestions for middle names, thanks.
[name_f]Anabelle[/name_f]: prefer the spelling [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]; but [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] this name. So beautiful and elegant, but fun nicknames
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]: prefer [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], but love both of these. Not sure how well they would go with mn though.
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]: love it!
[name_f]Eleanora[/name_f]/[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]: adore both of these. Probably prefer [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], but really love them both!
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]: I like it
[name_f]Greta[/name_f]: like it; but prefer [name_f]Gretel[/name_f]
[name_f]Isla[/name_f]: getting really popular unfortunately, but not my favourite anyway.
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f]/[name_f]Louise[/name_f]: prefer [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] to [name_f]Louise[/name_f], but prefer [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] over both!
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]: nice but a little ‘safe’ and boring to me
[name_f]Natalie[/name_f]: never been a huge fan
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]: [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] but worried about popularity. I adore the possible nicknames [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], [name_f]Polly[/name_f], [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] and [name_u]Penny[/name_u]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]: very pretty.
My five favourites (VERY difficult):
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]/x
[name_f]Greta[/name_f]/el
Ariadne- like this but it’s always reminded me of Arachne (I guess because it begins with an “A” and ends with “ne”). If that doesn’t bug you, it’s lovely. If it does, I might suggest Adrienne, Artemis, Athena, Althea, Ianthe, Xanthe, Iolanthe, Daphne, Persephone
Freya- I think this is so lovely but I always associate it with the lingerie brand
Thalia- love it
Demetria- meh
Calliope- pretty but I always think of musical instrument
Diana- meh. can’t dissociate from Princess Di
Vesta- nms
Luna- really fond of this
Hestia- nms
Isis- nms
Persephone- so cute
Astrid- love love love
Ceridwen- not sure how this is pronounced so I don’t know
Terra- prefer Tara but not a huge fan
Yara- nms
Freya Rose
Freya Calliope
Freya Persephone
Luna Persephone
Luna Ianthe
Astrid Helena
Astrid Persephone
Astrid Ceridwen
Thalia Grace
Thalia Calliope
Persephone Thalia
Persephone Calista
Persephone Demetria
