Need help picking girls name!!

Got what i need, thanks everyone!

Congratulations! I really love [name_f]Meadow[/name_f], but it is a little “out there” especially compared to [name_f]Lily[/name_f]. So if your a little doubtful about it, it’s good to keep looking.
My first thought was [name_f]Zora[/name_f]. More namey then [name_f]Meadow[/name_f], but still a little different and fun. [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Zora[/name_f] is cute!

[name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_u]Ember[/name_u]
[name_f]Estelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Eve[/name_f]
[name_u]Harmony[/name_u]
[name_u]Harper[/name_u]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f]
[name_f]Raina[/name_f]
[name_f]Samara[/name_f]
[name_f]Summer[/name_f]
[name_f]Zara[/name_f]

I think [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] is cute but I do think of the daughter from the Sopranos tv show. I like [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] too.

[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_u]Marlow[/name_u]
[name_f]Willow[/name_f]
[name_f]Harlow[/name_f]

[name_m]How[/name_m] about something with a similar sound:
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_u]Marlow[/name_u]
[name_f]Willow[/name_f]
[name_f]Harlow[/name_f]

I love @lexiem’s suggestion of [name_f]Harlow[/name_f] and [name_u]Marlow[/name_u]. I actually like the name [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] quite a bit, but it might fit better as a middle name if you’re worried about it.

There are alsoquite a few names on Nameberry that [i]mean[/i] ‘meadow’ if you want to keep that. If you want to continue the nature theme you have going with [name_f]Lily[/name_f] (and a possible [name_f]Meadow[/name_f]), I have a few ideas:

[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_u]Rain[/name_u]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Iris[/name_f] (if you’re not crazy about [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], perhaps you’ll like this one?)
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Coralie[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Flora[/name_f]

There are also some names that I think sound well with [name_f]Lily[/name_f] that you may like:
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Olive[/name_f]

I think [name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] is just a little bit hippie sounding–which I actually love, but it may not be your style. If you love it, you should go for it. BUT, if it’s really worrying you, I think using it as a middle is still a way to keep that beauty of a name.

Of my suggestions, I’m drawn most to [name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Alice[/name_f]; I don’t think [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] sounds bad either!

[name_f]Adore[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f]!

I actually knew a girl named [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] and thought it was cool!

Thanks for all your feedback and suggestions everyone! Definitely gave me some names to think about. I love the nature names! Which was the appeal with [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] plus its not super popular. I was really disappointed when [name_f]Lily[/name_f] became so popular. I also have a really big family, lots of nieces and nephews and cousins, so lots of names and similar sounding names we cant use, which has added to the difficulty.

Warmest congratulations @rtricia,

My top recommendation is [name_f]Lily[/name_f] {and} [name_f]Violet[/name_f].

I think that if you’re wavering on [name_f]Meadow[/name_f], and if someone down the line did have criticism or she had to deal with bullying, you would truly regret not following your instinct. I do think it’s a beautiful name and hard to pass on! But another thought is that since [name_f]Lily[/name_f] has taken off in popularity, and you prefer to not choose such a common name, it wouldn’t seem like the best pairing to go in the complete opposite direction and use a name that no one really knows/thinks of as a name. My recommendation would be to find something more toward the middle of the spectrum so it’s not a constant “normal name vs. uncommon name” comparison when they’re growing up, regardless of which is seemed cooler :wink:

That being said! Here are some suggestions that I believe pair very well with [name_f]Lily[/name_f] that are not as popular but still in the same vain. They also fit your nature them you’ve mentioned liking:
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Maya[/name_f] (“water”)
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Aria[/name_f] ("[name_f]Air[/name_f]")
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Luna[/name_f] ("[name_f]Moon[/name_f]") - if you don’t mind the double L, I think this is lovely!
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_u]Lake[/name_u] - same as above notes
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Audra[/name_f] (“storm”)
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_u]Abilene[/name_u] (“meadow”) - not a common name, but gives way for the nn [name_u]Abby[/name_u]!
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] (could be the color or the tree)
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Raine[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Terra[/name_f]/[name_f]Tara[/name_f] (“earth”)

a couple have already been suggested, so consider my repeats as a vote of confidence :slight_smile:

Thanks! [name_u]Love[/name_u] your suggestions! And yeah that was one of my concerns that [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] didnt quite go together. My biggest worry is that she would grow up and ask me why i gave her such a weird name (that she maybe doesnt like) especially in comparison to [name_f]Lily[/name_f].

I think ive found what im looking for, thanks everyone!
