Girl Names

I thought I’d take a break from my usual list and branch out to find some new names. I’m having a bit of trouble with middles though. Any opinions, suggestions, or combos would be great. :slight_smile:

Firsts:
[name_u]Carey[/name_u]
Edia (ee-dia, like Edie with an a at the end. I’m not the best at spelling out pronunciation, sorry.)
[name_f]Este[/name_f]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Hanna[/name_f]
[name_u]Kit[/name_u]
Lupin
Lynfa
Mida (my-dah)
[name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Suki[/name_f]
[name_u]Tavi[/name_u]
[name_f]Twila[/name_f]

Middles:
[name_f]Arcadia[/name_f]
[name_u]Lou[/name_u]

Thank you!

[name_u]Carey[/name_u]- I like this.
Edia- [name_m]How[/name_m] is the pronounced? Is it eh-dee-uh, or like [name_f]Edie[/name_f] with an ‘uh / ah’ on the end? I think it could prove confusing: [name_f]Edie[/name_f], [name_f]Eva[/name_f], [name_f]Edith[/name_f], etc. It does have a pretty sound though.
[name_f]Este[/name_f]- Too much like Estée Lauder, the makeup brand. Pretty name, but be aware everyone will think it is Estée / [name_f]Estee[/name_f], and after the brand.
[name_f]Frances[/name_f]- [name_u]LOVE[/name_u]. [name_f]My[/name_f] absolute favourite from your list. [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_u]Lou[/name_u] is a really spunky combo.
[name_f]Hanna[/name_f]- Everyone will spell it [name_f]Hannah[/name_f]. A lovely name though.
[name_u]Kit[/name_u]- [name_u]LOVE[/name_u]. Strong, short, gorgeous. [name_f]Kitty[/name_f] is lovely too.
Lupin- I kind of like this. Everyone will think you named them for [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] though, rather than the plant.
Lynfa- NMS, still a fine name, but something feels a bit off about it.
Mida (my-dah)- I just have the negative connotations of the story of Midas. It could still work though.
[name_f]Petra[/name_f]- [name_u]LOVE[/name_u]. The city of [name_f]Petra[/name_f] just enriches this gorgeous name, for me. I love the strong meaning too.
[name_f]Suki[/name_f]- [name_u]LOVE[/name_u]. [name_f]May[/name_f] I also suggest [name_u]Yuki[/name_u] and Sugi? [name_u]Yuki[/name_u] is the Japanese word for ‘snow’, and Sugi is a type of tree.
[name_u]Tavi[/name_u]- [name_u]LOVE[/name_u].
[name_f]Twila[/name_f]- [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] name.

Middles:
[name_f]Arcadia[/name_f]- I really like this.
[name_u]Lou[/name_u]- Very spunky. I love this.

Favourites: [name_f]Frances[/name_f], [name_u]Kit[/name_u], [name_f]Petra[/name_f], [name_f]Suki[/name_f], [name_u]Tavi[/name_u], [name_u]Lou[/name_u] and [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f].

Combo suggestions:
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_u]Lou[/name_u]
[name_u]Kit[/name_u] [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f]
[name_u]Tavi[/name_u] [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f]
[name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_u]Lou[/name_u]
[name_f]Suki[/name_f] [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f]

[name_u]Carey[/name_u]: Not my cup of tea. I prefer this spelling to others, though.
Edia: I haven’t heard it before. I don’t know its origin and I’m not sure how to pronounce it, but it feels both vintage and futuristic and I really like it.
[name_f]Este[/name_f]: Very delicate and sophisticated.
[name_f]Frances[/name_f]: I’ve always loved [name_f]Frances[/name_f], I think it’s so underrated.
[name_f]Hanna[/name_f]: Makes me think of the movie with [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] [name_m]Ronan[/name_m]. I like this spelling.
[name_u]Kit[/name_u]: Not my cup of tea. I can’t get over the fact it sounds exactly like the Russian word for whale.
Lupin: Professor Lupin is all I can think of.
Lynfa: Sounds (and looks) mysterious and intriguing. I think I like it.
Mida: Very distinctive, not sure how I feel about it.
[name_f]Petra[/name_f]: I feel like I should love it, but I don’t.
[name_f]Suki[/name_f]: I like how sweet and happy it sounds, great find.
[name_u]Tavi[/name_u]: Makes me think of [name_u]Tavi[/name_u] Gevinson. I like it both on its own and as a nickname for [name_f]Octavia[/name_f].
[name_f]Twila[/name_f]: I think I like it, feels very creative.
[name_f]Arcadia[/name_f]: I’m absolutely biased here as it reminds me of someone very special. I think it’s beautiful and the meaning is lovely. [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite on your list.
[name_u]Lou[/name_u]: I’ve never been particularly fond of [name_u]Lou[/name_u], but I think you can’t go wrong with it.

[name_f]Este[/name_f] [name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_u]Lou[/name_u]
[name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Natalie[/name_f]
[name_u]Tavi[/name_u] [name_u]Marian[/name_u]

[name_u]Carey[/name_u] - LIKE this spelling
Edia (ee-dee-uh, like [name_f]Edie[/name_f] with an a at the end.) - [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t get the pronounciation though. I would pronounced it like ‘eddie’ but with an a at the end. like ‘ed-dia’ or ‘ee-dia’
[name_f]Este[/name_f] - like ‘ester’? Got that one on my list because its rather unique!
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] - Have a friend with this name, its pretty cool!
[name_f]Hanna[/name_f] - Could also be [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] or [name_f]Hana[/name_f] but I think its fine
[name_f]Petra[/name_f] - very cool name with associations to Ender’s Game
[name_f]Suki[/name_f] - beautiful name but its actually pronounced more like ‘ski’ o:

*not very fond of the other names sorry!

Middles:
[name_f]Arcadia[/name_f] - cool name
[name_u]Lou[/name_u] - spunky!

Thank you nooshi, polina, [name_f]Lani[/name_f] & shannonlim! :slight_smile:

nooshi - [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_u]Lou[/name_u] is perfection! And I really like [name_u]Tavi[/name_u] [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f], [name_f]Suki[/name_f] [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f], [name_u]Kit[/name_u] [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f] & [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_u]Lou[/name_u] too. :slight_smile:

polina - [name_u]Tavi[/name_u] [name_u]Marian[/name_u] is wonderful, thank you!

[name_f]Lani[/name_f] - Woah! I’m definitely going thought your list tonight, thanks a bunch! :slight_smile:

shannonlim - That is a-okay, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. :slight_smile: I have changed the pronunciation on my original post to ee-dia, which makes it a bit easier. I am pronouncing [name_f]Este[/name_f] ‘es-tay’, like what it says on it’s name page.

Anyone else?

[name_u]Carey[/name_u]- Like this spelling but don’t love the name overall
Edia- I like it but can see you and your daughter needing to spell and correct people your entire lives. Its the most unique and yet subtle name I have seen in a while. In fact, as I’m writing this, its growing on me :slight_smile:
[name_f]Este[/name_f]- Prretttyyyyy
[name_f]Frances[/name_f]- not a fan
[name_f]Hanna[/name_f]- too popular and have known too many bad eggs with this name
[name_u]Kit[/name_u]- not my style
Lupin- [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m]?!? [name_u]Love[/name_u] Lupin
Lynfa- ehhhhhh, i’m going to go with no for me
Mida (my-dah)- I pronounced it M(id)-ah. Maybe Myda?
[name_f]Petra[/name_f]- I like this one!
[name_f]Suki[/name_f]- No
[name_u]Tavi[/name_u]- [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_u]Tavi[/name_u]! Its beautiful!
[name_f]Twila[/name_f]- No

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite combos:

[name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f]
[name_u]Tavi[/name_u] [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f]

privacyplease - thank you for all your combos! I love [name_f]Este[/name_f] [name_f]Hanna[/name_f] (I think more of [name_f]Este[/name_f] [name_m]Haim[/name_m] than the makeup brand), [name_u]Kit[/name_u] [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f], Lynfa [name_f]Maren[/name_f] & Mida [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]! Thanks for the heads up on the manga, I only knew of the HP connotations.

bballiet - Thank you! [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f] & [name_u]Tavi[/name_u] [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f] are wonderful. Call me crazy, but I haven’t ever watched or read [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m], but I do know about the character [name_m]Remus[/name_m] Lupin. I think of the plant. :slight_smile:

ssister - [name_f]Priya[/name_f], [name_f]Siri[/name_f], [name_f]Calla[/name_f], [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_f]Capri[/name_f], and all your middle suggestions are great! Thanks so much. :slight_smile:

bretak - Thank you :slight_smile:
