Next round of 16 names - which are your faves?

You all have been helping me narrow down our girl list so much! I appreciate all the feedback and am continuing to work through our list alphabetically. Here are the K, L, M names we have, with a bit of commentary, and our current favorite combos for them (thanks to the berries that helped with some of these gorgeous combos). Please let us know your favorites out of these.

Thank you!

[name_f]Katia[/name_f] - a name we both love, but we also have [name_f]Tatia[/name_f] on our list, which I think I love just a little more. Combos: [name_f]Katia[/name_f] [name_u]Larkspur[/name_u], [name_f]Katia[/name_f] [name_f]Sable[/name_f], [name_f]Katia[/name_f] [name_f]Celine[/name_f]

[name_f]Keturah[/name_f] - pretty, but I’m not super in love with it. Combos: [name_f]Keturah[/name_f] [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f], [name_f]Keturah[/name_f] [name_f]Birdie[/name_f]

[name_u]Kamari[/name_u] - this name is important to my husband, and we both like it. Combos: [name_u]Kamari[/name_u] [name_m]Lowell[/name_m], [name_u]Kamari[/name_u] [name_u]Lotus[/name_u]

[name_f]Ketzi[/name_f] - I love this name just on its own (not as a nickname for another one). Combo: [name_f]Ketzi[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]

[name_u]Kestrel[/name_u] - I also love this, and husband is on board. Combos: [name_u]Kestrel[/name_u] [name_f]Amadea[/name_f], [name_u]Kestrel[/name_u] [name_f]Antonina[/name_f]

[name_f]Leonie[/name_f] - this has been on our list for years, but I’ve been feeling it a little less lately. Combos: [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u], [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] [name_f]Thora[/name_f], [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] [name_f]Saffira[/name_f], [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] [name_f]Fauna[/name_f]

[name_u]Linden[/name_u] - an honor name, which I like, but it may be too close to [name_u]London[/name_u] for me. Combos: [name_u]Linden[/name_u] [name_f]Miette[/name_f], [name_u]Linden[/name_u] [name_f]Cosima[/name_f], [name_u]Linden[/name_u] [name_f]Aviva[/name_f]

[name_f]Lindy[/name_f] - I think we may keep this over [name_u]Linden[/name_u], wdyt? Combos: [name_f]Lindy[/name_f] [name_f]Roxana[/name_f], [name_f]Lindy[/name_f] [name_f]Amadea[/name_f], [name_f]Lindy[/name_f] [name_f]Esperanza[/name_f]

[name_u]Lior[/name_u] - we love this name, not [name_f]Liora[/name_f] (which is too close to [name_f]Laura[/name_f] for us). Combos: [name_u]Lior[/name_u] [name_f]Viviana[/name_f], [name_u]Lior[/name_u] [name_f]Amadea[/name_f], [name_u]Lior[/name_u] [name_f]Genoveva[/name_f]

[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] - this used to be a name I loved, but I think I’ve heard it too much lately. I still really like our combos for it: [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_u]Kamari[/name_u], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Constantina[/name_f], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Genoveva[/name_f], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f]

[name_f]Marcella[/name_f] - we should probably only keep this or [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] on our list, but which one? Combos: [name_f]Marcella[/name_f] [name_f]Miette[/name_f], [name_f]Marcella[/name_f] [name_u]Claude[/name_u]

[name_f]Marceline[/name_f] - see [name_f]Marcella[/name_f]. Combos: [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] [name_u]True[/name_u], [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] [name_f]Thora[/name_f]

[name_f]Marisa[/name_f] - I love it, but it may be too tied to a certain generation. Combos: [name_f]Marisa[/name_f] [name_f]Jonquil[/name_f], [name_f]Marisa[/name_f] [name_f]Judith[/name_f], [name_f]Marisa[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]

[name_f]Melody[/name_f] - a long time fave, but I always find it hard to pair with combos I like. Combos: [name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_f]Vera[/name_f], [name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_f]Sonja[/name_f], [name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_f]Ambrosia[/name_f]

Meridel - could also be a middle name, I don’t know, I like it for both! Combos: Meridel [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] (we also have [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] Meridel on our list. :slight_smile: ) Meridel [name_f]Runa[/name_f], Meridel [name_f]Cyra[/name_f]

[name_f]Miette[/name_f] - I love its short length and sweetness, but may just be a middle option. Combos: [name_f]Miette[/name_f] [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f], [name_f]Miette[/name_f] [name_f]Raphaela[/name_f], [name_f]Miette[/name_f] [name_f]Mariposa[/name_f]

Kestrel is one of my faves and my favorite from your list. Both combos are beautiful! I also really like [name_f]Marcella[/name_f] and [name_f]Marceline[/name_f], though I’m not helpful since I don’t know which one I prefer! [name_u]Lior[/name_u] is also stunning.

Another lovely list!

Katia–I prefer this to [name_f]Tatia[/name_f], but your opinion is much more important than mine on that issue! It definitely makes sense to keep [name_f]Tatia[/name_f] if you feel more enthusiastic about it. [name_f]Katia[/name_f] [name_u]Larkspur[/name_u] is my favorite of these combos.

Keturah–I agree with you that it’s pretty, and [name_f]Keturah[/name_f] [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] is wonderful! But I wouldn’t keep it if you don’t love it.

Kamari–This is so lovely! And it sounds like it’s special to you which I love. [name_u]Kamari[/name_u] [name_m]Lowell[/name_m] feels very gender neutral to me–which could definitely be a pro if that’s what you’re going for, just wanted to note it!

Ketzi–This is sweet and fun! I like the balance of a spunky, unexpected choice with the weightiness of [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f].

Kestrel–Not my personal favorite, but it sounds like it’s a good option for you if you both love it! I like the two combos about equally.

Leonie–I love [name_f]Leonie[/name_f], and I think [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] is a wonderful combo! Although possibly a little too much animal? I can’t quite decide. Maybe I prefer [name_f]Leonia[/name_f] [name_f]Thora[/name_f]. But anyway, it sounds like you’re not super enthusiastic about it?

Linden–I don’t think of [name_u]London[/name_u] when I hear [name_u]Linden[/name_u]. I really like [name_u]Linden[/name_u] [name_f]Aviva[/name_f]!

Lindy–I definitely prefer this to [name_u]Linden[/name_u]–so sweet! All three of these combos are amazing, but [name_f]Lindy[/name_f] [name_f]Esperanza[/name_f] is my favorite.

Lior–This is so beautiful! I definitely prefer it to [name_f]Liora[/name_f], and I don’t think they would get mixed up. [name_u]Lior[/name_u] [name_f]Viviana[/name_f] or [name_u]Lior[/name_u] [name_f]Amadea[/name_f] is my favorite.

Mabel–I like this, but I’ve never quite loved it. It sounds like maybe you’re not loving it anymore either? [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] would be my pick, but I also really like [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_u]Kamari[/name_u].

Marcella–[name_f]Marcella[/name_f] [name_u]Claude[/name_u] is fabulous! Other than that I’m torn between this and [name_f]Marceline[/name_f]. They’re both really pretty!

Marceline–See [name_f]Marcella[/name_f]. I love [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]!

Marisa–This is pretty, although not my favorite from your list. I like [name_f]Marisa[/name_f] [name_f]Judith[/name_f] and [name_f]Marisa[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]!

Melody–This is so sweet–I’ve always really liked it. [name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_f]Vera[/name_f] is lovely!

Meridel–Ooh, this is intriguing! I like it. [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] Meridel is absolutely stunning.

Miette–I like [name_f]Miette[/name_f] [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Miette[/name_f] [name_f]Raphaela[/name_f], but this isn’t my favorite from your list.

Oh, I just meant that every time I mention this name to someone, they tell me that they only know women in their 30s and 40s with this name. It’s an odd thing, since I don’t personally associate it with that generation, but I’ve had so many of those responses, that it’s impacting me.

Thank you everyone! I think this is the hardest batch for me to eliminate any, since I love them all. Your feedback is especially helpful here.

Hmm…
[name_f]Katia[/name_f] ~ personally this isn’t a favourite of mine it’s just never really appealed to me. However [name_f]Katia[/name_f] [name_u]Larkspur[/name_u] is cool.

Keturah ~ love beautiful underused gem. [name_f]Keturah[/name_f] is effortless beyond gorgeous and feels spunky. I like [name_f]Keturah[/name_f] [name_f]Birdie[/name_f]!

Kamari ~ personally I’m not a massive fan off [name_u]Kamari[/name_u] but I love that this name is meaningful to you and for me that’s the most important thing you want a name that is meaningful ideally as it’ll always be meaningful. I think [name_u]Kamari[/name_u] [name_m]Lowell[/name_m] is nice.

Ketzi ~ pretty little Hebrew name with a cool nature connection to cassia tree it’s lovely and I think it works as a name in its own right. I think [name_f]Ketzi[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f].

Kestrel ~ I prefer this for a boy from the combinations my favourite is [name_u]Kestrel[/name_u] [name_u]Antonia[/name_u].

Leonie ~ absolutely love this name [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] is super elegant and refreshing. I really love [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u]!

Linden ~ I think this is a nice name but prefer for a boy I like [name_u]Linden[/name_u] [name_f]Aviva[/name_f] the best

Lindy ~ I think this is sweet [name_f]Lindy[/name_f] has a cute vintage nickname vibe fitting in with the likes of [name_f]Edie[/name_f] & [name_f]Thea[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Lindy[/name_f] [name_f]Esperanza[/name_f] I think that’s gorgeous.

Lior ~ I think this is a great Hebrew choice that feels fiery and upbeat. I like [name_u]Lior[/name_u] [name_f]Viviana[/name_f]

Mabel ~ a lovely vintage name that feels happy but I agree is increasing in popularity still its growing in popularity for a reason. I like [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Constantina[/name_f] also have you thought [name_f]Maple[/name_f]?

Marcella/Marceline ~ this is very elegant my favourite is [name_f]Marcella[/name_f] though I just think it’s so spunky and effortless. I love [name_f]Marcella[/name_f] [name_u]Claude[/name_u].

Marisa ~ I think this is fine but not as sparkly as other names on your list. [name_f]Marisa[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] is pretty though.

Melody ~ it’s sweet but I prefer other names on your list. [name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_f]Sonja[/name_f] works.

Meridel ~ not a favourite I like Meridel [name_f]Rosa[/name_f]

Miette ~ it’s a pretty delicate name I love [name_f]Miette[/name_f] [name_f]Mariposa[/name_f]
