What a lovely collection!
[name_f]Adrienne[/name_f] - I grew up with an [name_f]Adrienne[/name_f], exactly this spelling, who was actually a very masculine [name_m]Man[/name_m], and a Close [name_m]Friend[/name_m] and Colleague of my Dad’s, so I find it really hard to imagine on a Girl, sorry!
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f]*(nn. “[name_f]Aria[/name_f]”) - The Name of my Youngest Daughter so I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] and think [name_f]Aria[/name_f] is a GORGEOUS idea for a Nickname if you can get people to stop calling her [name_f]Bella[/name_f]! [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] is heard a LOT (TOO MUCH) on Nameberry, but we have never met another [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] and she and I are constantly getting compliments from people, many of whom have never heard the Name before!
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - Bad personal experiences with 5 awful Charlottes have put me off this Name for life, sorry!
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]*(nn. “[name_f]Evie[/name_f]”) - ABSOLUTELY EXQUISITE Name and Nickname!! Delicate, feminine and very beautiful!
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] - [name_m]Just[/name_m] too Modern and Surnamey for me, sorry.
[name_f]Isobel[/name_f] - I really only love [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] or [name_f]Isabella[/name_f], sorry, but it sounds lovely!
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] - A lovely, romantic Name! My [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] has a Dear [name_m]Friend[/name_m] called [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] who is a vibrant, bubbly, imaginative, beautiful, brunette Tomboy! [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] and [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] would make a GORGEOUS Sibset!
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]*(nn. “[name_f]Addie[/name_f]”) - The First Name I ever fell in love with!! <3 Strong yet Feminine and very beautiful and romantic! Trying to find a decent Nickname is the hardest thing and Addie is much nicer than Maddie or Mads, if you can get people to use it!
Romilly - Romilly is utterly DELIGHTFUL!! Delicate, Feminine (despite its origins) and a refreshing surprise every time I see or hear it!! Personally I adore the Nickname Milly!
