New Names On The Radar

Here are a few names that have popped on my radar lately, thoughts? :slight_smile:

[name]Asa[/name]
[name]Ned[/name]

[name]Anya[/name]
[name]Cora[/name]
[name]Naomi[/name]

Also a friend of mine is expecting a little girl, she is debating between [name]Isobel[/name] [name]Mafalda[/name], [name]Jessamy[/name] [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Alice[/name] [name]Iona[/name] and [name]Veronica[/name] [name]Maeve[/name]. They are some interesting choices, personally my favourite is [name]Alice[/name] [name]Iona[/name]. [name]Maeve[/name]/[name]Mafalda[/name] are for honouring both their mothers whose names start with a M.

I adore [name]Naomi[/name]. [name]Just[/name] love it.

I like [name]Asa[/name] and [name]Ned[/name] both but [name]Ned[/name] is a nickname to me.

I like all of your friend’s names except [name]Mafalda[/name], it’s a nice contrast to [name]Isobel[/name] though in terms of uncommoness. [name]Veronica[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] and [name]Jessamy[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] are probably my favourites.

[name]Love[/name] [name]Asa[/name]. I suggested it to a friend for her son since dad’s a doctor and [name]Asa[/name] is said to mean ā€˜healer’. It’s a great name!
I also love [name]Anya[/name] and [name]Cora[/name]. However, I feel lukewarm about [name]Ned[/name] and [name]Naomi[/name], but I don’t hate them by any means :slight_smile:

As for your friend, I adore [name]Veronica[/name] [name]Maeve[/name]. It just flows right off the tongue. I also love [name]Alice[/name] [name]Iona[/name] just because I love both names. She’s got a great list going!

I was actually quite suprised, for a long time she has loved the name [name]Ava[/name] and I thought she might use it. Perhaps the popularity got her, I’ll have to ask. But there are some really interesting names she has there and I can’t wait to see what she chooses. Actually some of my other friends (who are not pregnant btw) are coming up with refreshing ones also… I’m hearing [name]Giselle[/name], [name]Vanessa[/name], [name]Adrian[/name], [name]Seamus[/name], [name]Atticus[/name], [name]Hazel[/name], [name]Micah[/name], [name]Betty[/name] etc etc lately and it just plain awesome. I find it very refreshing after most of my cousins are using names in the top 50, with some weird ā€œuniqueā€ spellings… Oh well, what can you do.

As a side note I have been looking through some name blogs tonight and came across [name]Tullia[/name] which would be lovely in middle spot I think.

[i]Quoted from baby names from yesteryear:

[name]Tullia[/name] - [name]Tullia[/name] Ciceronis was the beloved daughter of the great orator [name]Cicero[/name]. After her death in childbirth, a grief-stricken [name]Cicero[/name] wrote ā€˜I have lost the one thing that bound me to life’. Although her name has no known meaning, her largely untold story is enough to captivate anyone.[/i]

Although sad, I find it very sweet.
