Hmm…
My favourite name list is under major construction at the moment, envious that people have lists which need to be narrowed down. I’m too fickle when it comes to names especially girls. You have gorgeous names on your list!! I’m first of all going to ‘eliminate’ the names I dislike from this list.
My least favourite names from this list:
[name_f]Antigone[/name_f] - sounds negative and feels really harsh.
[name_f]Drusilla[/name_f] - again feels harsh and visually looks unattractive in my eyes.
[name_f]Octavia[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Olympia[/name_f] and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] which have a similar sound but there’s something I dislike about [name_f]Octavia[/name_f].
[name_f]Sibyl[/name_f] - [name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_f]Sibylla[/name_f] but for me this simply [name_f]Sibyl[/name_f] feels dated for me she’s like Gertude and [name_f]Bertha[/name_f].
[name_f]Millicent[/name_f] - I’m unsure on [name_f]Millicent[/name_f] in away she feels unattractive and stodgy but in away she’s refreshing. I’m just totally unsure.
The rest (warning going to be picky as there all awesome)…
[name_f]Araminta[/name_f] - a new discovery for me and I love her. She’s elegant, demure, and incredibly beautiful. She just feels refreshing. But I’m unsure on nicknames. [name_f]Araminta[/name_f] would have to have a nickname (I feel anyway) would I want her to be called [name_f]Minty[/name_f]? No I just wouldn’t. It’s crisp and fresh nickname but then on other hand, on a popular TV soap in my country, there was a character of a fat car mechanic named [name_f]Minty[/name_f] and even though he was nice I don’t like the association. [name_f]Araminta[/name_f] is the perfect middle name.
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] - lovely, [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] is very elegant and has this lovely spunky vibe. I don’t mind the nickname [name_u]Rory[/name_u] for a nickname for [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] (hate [name_u]Rory[/name_u] as a stand alone name for a girl. [name_u]Rory[/name_u] in that case is all boy), she has this brilliant [name_f]Princess[/name_f] vibe and looks sooo pretty. I also love the nature associations through [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]'s meaning dawn.
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] - elegant, great Shakespearean connotations, demure, and incredibly usable due to her easy nickname [name_f]Bea[/name_f]. [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] is a great choice.
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] - another brilliant choice, [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] looks effortless and has this gorgeous fruity vibe. I adore the whole effect of [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]. But then I do find that [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] has flaws due to not having an easy go to middle name. [name_u]Clemmy[/name_u] is cute but most likely she’d get [name_f]Tina[/name_f] which is just so dated.
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] - I love this name she’s so pretty and wholesome. [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] has a fresh spunky vibe and looks so romantic. I also love the [name_f]Cordy[/name_f] nickname. [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] is growing on me so much for recent. I even like the Shakespearean connotations even though the character has a rather sad life.
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] - another fantastic choice (you have such a great taste in names!!) [name_f]Florence[/name_f] is just effortless and again elegant. She has great connotations what with the Italian city, [name_f]Florence[/name_f] Nightingale, and of course flowers through her meaning ‘flowering’. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though [name_f]Florence[/name_f] is great I’m not a massive fan of her nicknames.
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] - she’s a British staple. In my head [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] feels so British and so upper crust and I do love the whole vibe of that name. [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] is a great choice.
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f] - another fantastic name, [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] feels so majestic and has this gorgeous surreal vibe. I actually love the [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] association despite not actually liking [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m]. [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] just feels light and easy, furthermore I like the fact that despite her length she’s rather short in sound (almost) thus she doesn’t seem to need a nickname.
[name_f]Isla[/name_f] - I do like [name_f]Isla[/name_f], she’s pretty and has a fresh sound but she’s slowly becoming trendy.
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - lovely! [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] is sweet, fresh, feminine. She has a range of gorgeous nicknames such as [name_u]Mattie[/name_u], [name_f]Tilly[/name_f], and [name_f]Tilda[/name_f]. [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] has this lovely almost Nordic charm. She feels so Medieval in away which I find charming. [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] is rising in popularity in the UK though.
[name_f]Olive[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Olive[/name_f] she’s a intriguing twist on [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]. [name_f]Olive[/name_f] sounds really fresh and has a very wholesome vibe. But maybe [name_f]Olive[/name_f] is too hipster?!
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] - she’s growing on me hence the reason why I couldn’t say I didn’t like her but she isn’t my favourite there is something I find odd.
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f] - I love this name she’s pretty, has gorgeous Greek mythological connotations, and has this really elegant sound. [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] just feels intriguing! I also adore the Sephy nickname which makes [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] feel light.
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] - love [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and her variants. Currently [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] is my favourite girl’s name and despite reconstruction on the list she most likely will remain there. So of course I love [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] she’s elegant, wholesome, has a range of great nicknames, and just feels perfect.
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] - I of course love [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. I love flower names!! [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is very pretty she is rising in popularity but doesn’t have that trendy vibe which [name_f]Isla[/name_f] possess. [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is lovely. I also like [name_f]Viola[/name_f] and [name_f]Violetta[/name_f].
So after much processing my top 5 are…
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
But that was difficult and probably would change my mind if I came back to the list : )
OK, it’s lovely and musical but the character was pretty silly.
