I’m due in seven weeks and have a list of names we like, but none are the [name]ONE[/name]. We prefer names that you most likely haven’t heard before or at least haven’t met anyone named that (so very uncommon but not cooky). We like feminine names and I’ve found I lean toward names that end on “a.” Here’s names we like:
[name]Anorah[/name]
[name]Milena[/name]
[name]Evita[/name]
[name]Veda[/name]
Can you think of any other names that maybe I haven’t heard before that are girly? Thanks!
Annorah is one of my favourites (I’ve only seen it with two Ns)!
From my (long) list, I’ve found some nice names ending in a:
[name]Celestia[/name]
[name]Raphaela[/name]
[name]Odelia[/name]
[name]Adamina[/name]
[name]Zinnia[/name]
[name]Delphina[/name]
[name]Amarantha[/name]
[name]Xanthia[/name]
Although [name]Anorah[/name] isn’t my taste, it’s a lovely name.
Have you heard:
[name]Isannah[/name]
[name]Isaline[/name]
[name]Maelys[/name]
[name]Maelle[/name]/[name]Maelie[/name]
[name]Lilja[/name] (pron. [name]Lil[/name]-ya)
Ailbe (All-bay)
[name]Suvi[/name]
[name]Marilla[/name]
[name]Malou[/name]
[name]Milena[/name] is my favorite on your list. Nickname [name]Millie[/name] would be cute if you like nicknames. Some people don’t. I love the name [name]Viviana[/name] but I’m not sure how common that is? I’d never heard it until I got on nameberry. [name]One[/name] I’ve recently liked is Aneliya/Anelia. I pronounce it [name]Ah[/name]-Neh-lee-uh(but kind of a quicker lee-uh) Nickname [name]Neli[/name] or [name]Nellie[/name]. I think it is lovely and different.

[name]Severine[/name] (Se-va-REEN) is very pretty, it was floating around due to the new Skyfall movie, and I didn’t really think much about it, but when I watched the movie and heard it out loud, I thought it was very feminine and beautiful.
