Looking for suggestions, as my husband hates all the names I like for girls. :oops: I really gravitate towards old-fashioned names, especially literary names, and I like names that are not common at all. My husband tends to think lots of my choices sound outdated, though, so it has to have some fresh quality.
[name_u]Carmen[/name_u]
[name_f]Carlotta[/name_f]
[name_f]Bernadette[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]
Could you tell us what names you do like? [name_m]Even[/name_m] if you can’t use them it’ll give a better sense of your style
I love the suggestion of [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]! If your husband doesn’t like it, maybe he would like the nickname [name_f]Indy[/name_f]? Something a little more modern but still has an old-fashioned full name.
My first thought was [name_f]Naomi[/name_f]!
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
[name_f]Bethany[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Colleen[/name_f]
[name_f]Corrine[/name_f]
[name_f]Verity[/name_f]
[name_f]Charity[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_u]Fallon[/name_u]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanora[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucille[/name_f]
[name_f]Gretel[/name_f]
[name_f]Maryanne[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgina[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f]
[name_f]Constance[/name_f]
[name_f]Beverly[/name_f]
[name_f]Esther[/name_f]
[name_f]Ida[/name_f]
[name_f]Alma[/name_f]
[name_f]Joy[/name_f]
[name_u]Joyce[/name_u]
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Polly[/name_f]
[name_f]Pollyanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Posey[/name_f]
[name_f]Virginia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f]
I actually have thought of [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] and I really like it, but wasn’t so hot on its nicknames. Hadn’t thought of [name_f]Indy[/name_f]!
Some names I like are [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f], [name_f]Muriel[/name_f], [name_f]Liesel[/name_f]. He likes [name_f]Daphne[/name_f].
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] NN: [name_f]Indy[/name_f] for you
