It is important to my partner that [name]Norma[/name] or [name]Anita[/name] be somehow included in a girl’s name because they are family names that are special to him. I’m not wild about either of these names . . . [name]Norma[/name] I probably like more just because I like the opera it is from, but I don’t think that’s what most people think of when they hear that name. Can people give me ideas of names that are similar to [name]Norma[/name] or [name]Anita[/name]?
To give you an idea of my style, here is my “short list” of girls names:
I think you could definitely use [name]Norma[/name] or [name]Anita[/name] in the middle name spot, they are both vintage names that are in style with the other old names that are popular, though they have yet to be rediscovered. I actually really like [name]Anita[/name]. From your short list it seems you like names with a bit of a romantic flair. From your list [name]Elsa[/name], [name]Flora[/name], [name]Paloma[/name] and [name]Theodora[/name] have that still musty but potentially hip vibe I get from both [name]Norma[/name] and [name]Anita[/name]. I know a woman named [name]Norah[/name] who was named for her grandfather [name]Norman[/name]. Instead of using [name]Norma[/name] her parents used [name]Norah[/name]. That could be an option.
Some other names in the same style of [name]Anita[/name] and [name]Norma[/name], but with a bit more romanticism/modern sounds:
[name]Annette[/name]
[name]Camilla[/name]
[name]Sylvia[/name]
[name]Rosetta[/name]
[name]Benita[/name]
[name]Regina[/name]
[name]Athena[/name]
[name]Mila[/name]
[name]Helen[/name]
[name]Constance[/name]
[name]Perla[/name]/ [name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Marianna[/name]
[name]Nancy[/name]
[name]Martha[/name]
[name]Mona[/name]
[name]Loretta[/name]
[name]Elisa[/name]
[name]Carla[/name]
[name]Gloria[/name]
[name]Adriana[/name]
[name]Sabrina[/name]
[name]Marcela[/name]
[name]Liana[/name]
[name]Dina[/name]
[name]Eliana[/name]
[name]Justina[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name]
I think with both [name]Norma[/name] and [name]Anita[/name] ending with an A, the first name shouldn’t end with an A. Seems a bit too much in my opinion. But very lovely names you have picked!! I think its a great idea of passing along family names.
By the way, not good or bad, but when I hear the name [name]Norma[/name], I think [name]Norma[/name] [name]Jean[/name]. I think I do like [name]Norma[/name] a bit better than [name]Anita[/name].
[name]Arabelle[/name] [name]Norma[/name]
[name]Blanche[/name] [name]Norma[/name]
[name]Cataline[/name] [name]Anita[/name]
[name]Delphine[/name] [name]Norma[/name]
[name]Dylan[/name] [name]Anita[/name]
[name]Florelle[/name] [name]Norma[/name]
[name]Isadore[/name] [name]Anita[/name] (tech a boys name, but i think could work for a girl)
[name]Isolde[/name] [name]Anita[/name]
[name]Lillian[/name] [name]Norma[/name]
[name]Mirabelle[/name] [name]Anita[/name]
[name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Anita[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Norma[/name]
Since [name]Anita[/name] is a variation of [name]Anne[/name]:
[name]Anneliese[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name]
[name]Annora[/name]-- not really a variation, but it contains “[name]Ann[/name]”…
[name]Antonia[/name]-- ditto
[name]Susanna[/name]-- ditto
[name]Anastasia[/name]-- ditto
[name]Ana[/name]”s
[name]Grace[/name] is a virtue, like:
[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Verity[/name]
[name]Clemency[/name]
[name]Clementine[/name]
[name]Amity[/name]
[name]Gioia[/name] (joy-a, means “joy”)
[name]Marilyn[/name] [name]Monroe[/name] was born [name]Norma[/name] [name]Jeane[/name] [name]Baker[/name]. I know that the name [name]Marilyn[/name] isn’t exactly fashionable, but I kind of like it. Since you have some unisex names on your list, maybe [name]Monroe[/name] would work too? Wait, your daughter is [name]Monet[/name], right (please correct me if I’m wrong!)? I think that [name]Monet[/name] and [name]Monroe[/name] are too close… maybe as a middle?
I don’t care for [name]Norma[/name] either, but I do like [name]Norah[/name]/[name]Nora[/name] a lot. Could [name]Norah[/name] be an option?
