I love the reasons behind your favourite names! It made me like the ones I initially didn’t! The only name on your list I don’t really like is [name]Scarlet[/name]…I don’t like the “scar” in it. [name]Ruby[/name] is much better.
You have a very colourful list you know! Lots of reds especially…[name]Ruby[/name], [name]Scarlet[/name] and even [name]Robin[/name] (red-breasted). [name]Skye[/name] - blue, lily - white, [name]Coraline[/name] - pinky coral and [name]Stella[/name] - dark night sky. Lots of nature/natural name choices too. You could have a really nice and subtle theme if you wanted to…a sky name ([name]Skye[/name], [name]Stella[/name] or [name]Robin[/name]), an [name]Earth[/name] theme ([name]Lily[/name], [name]Ruby[/name]) and a water name ([name]Coralie[/name]).
Anyway, I’m going off on tangents…my favourites are [name]Lily[/name], [name]Cecily[/name] and [name]Stella[/name]. But you have an over-all great list!!
Thank you claireelise! You have described my style to a T! I am extremely passionate about nature & the environment & also love colours & the sky, I have never thought of looking at them that way!
Oh, I forgot to add that I really really like [name]Lyra[/name]. Not sure if I like it MORE than [name]Lily[/name], but I might be more likely to use it, since it’s very uncommon, and [name]Lily[/name] is so popular. And hey, [name]Lyra[/name] is a constellation, so another sky name!
Ha! That’s right! I have added [name]Luna[/name] in there too - so another sky name! I put them all down as I can’t honestly decide which ‘L’ names I prefer over the others.
My favourites from your list are [name]Cecily[/name] (I think this is fantastic!), [name]Lily[/name] (nice), [name]Stella[/name] (not my favourite name, but I think it’s all right), and [name]Coraline[/name] (I love [name]Cora[/name] but dislike [name]Coraline[/name]).
The others on your list aren’t my style… none of them are bad names, though.
I like a lot of L-names as well I"m particularly fond of my own name ([name]Lucia[/name]/ [name]Lucy[/name]), [name]Luna[/name], [name]Leire[/name], [name]Leonor[/name], [name]Laurel[/name], [name]Laelia[/name].
[name]Cora[/name] ([name]Coraline[/name]) - I love [name]Coralie[/name], though [name]Coraline[/name] is also pretty, a bit more spunky. I like [name]Coral[/name] as well. Lots of potential for both fun and traditional names.
[name]Ruby[/name] - Beautiful! getting very popular but with good reason. This feels like a sporty name to me for some reason. Solid and pretty.
[name]Robin[/name] - my sisters mn! I like it too. People say it’s dated but I’ve only ever met one so I think it’s fresh!
[name]Skye[/name] - Very pretty, it definitely has a bit of that superhero feel, but it is lovely. I’ve been to the [name]Isle[/name] of [name]Skye[/name] as well, it’s definitely worth a remembrance.
[name]Cecily[/name] - [name]Lovely[/name]! a bit too soft for my taste but very feminine
[name]Scarlet[/name] - I don’t dislike it, but it feels trendy to me, and I’m not fond of the Gone with the Wind reference
[name]Stella[/name] - This one has never been a favorite of mine but I can see the allure.
I’m also addicted to L names: [name]Livy[/name], [name]Luke[/name], [name]Lyra[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], [name]Lark[/name], [name]Lorelei[/name], [name]Liberty[/name], [name]Laurel[/name], [name]Lilith[/name], [name]Lyric[/name]. So gorgeous!
[name]Lianna[/name] -This one is very pretty, though there are sooo many variations of [name]Leann[/name]/[name]Lilianne[/name]/etc that I’d worry that it was just more noise
[name]Liah[/name] - I’ve never seen this spelling before. It is very attractive, but I’m not sure if it would be more trouble than it’s worth to be always correcting people.
I love [name]Stella[/name]! And [name]Ruby[/name]. And I think [name]Skye[/name] would work well as a middle name!
[name]Lily[/name] is nice too but I don’t think it ages well. I prefer [name]Lilia[/name] or [name]Lilian[/name]
Thank you [name]Lucia[/name], your name is [name]Lovey[/name] & holds special meaning to me as it is the name of a dear friend of mine who died tragically in a fire several years ago [LEFT] I also really like [name]Lucy[/name].[/LEFT][LEFT][FONT=century gothic]I like both [name]Cora[/name] & coraline, I’ll be happy to use [name]Cora[/name] as a nn. What I don’t like about [name]Cecily[/name] is the potential nn, Cece, it seems to change it to a completely different style of name.
Yes, spunky describes [name]Coraline[/name] perfectly!
The popularity of [name]Ruby[/name] does bother me, but then I remember I have loved it since high school in the nineties, so I was a trend setter
Yes I get that opinion about [name]Robin[/name] a lot, & have known 3 who were my own age or younger. It may be dated but not in the same way as [name]Heather[/name], [name]Jennifer[/name] or [name]Ashley[/name] - it was never that common.
‘Thank you’ for liking [name]Skye[/name], I know many on Nameberry don’t It’s been my favourite for nearly 20 years!! Would love some ideas on MN combos for [name]Skye[/name] from my list?
Lol! The softness of [name]Cecily[/name] is what I like about it
I’ve never seen the whole of Gone with the Wind & being from South [name]Africa[/name], I don’t think the association is very strong here.
Some people are beginning to throw [name]Stella[/name] in with all the other [name]Ella[/name], [name]Ellie[/name], [name]Elle[/name] names that are too popular now, but I don’t think it belongs with them at all.
I definitely get what you mean about [name]Lianna[/name] possibly just being noise, although I love it, I probably won’t use it.
Again although I love [name]Liah[/name], I also probably wouldn’t use it, but if I did, I woul;d still go ahead with the ‘i’.
On your ‘L’ list, I [name]Love[/name] [name]Luke[/name] - it’s on my boys list - [name]Lyra[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], [name]Lilith[/name], [name]Lark[/name] & [name]Lorelai[/name]. I have never liked [name]Laura[/name], [name]Lauren[/name] or [name]Laurel[/name] at all.
I actually really like [name]Skye[/name] [name]Lianna[/name]. It feels like Skyline without being too literal.
Might be too out there for you but [name]Skye[/name] [name]Lark[/name] would also be crazy beautiful.
[name]Ruby[/name] [name]Skye[/name] would also be gorgeous.
[name]Cecily[/name] [name]Skye[/name] might be too many s sounds for you but I love alliteration.
