He’s just a list of girls names that I like. I’d really appreciate some gut reactions, immediate associations, nickname suggestions, preferred spelling variations and just about anything else you’d like to give me!
[name]Alana[/name] - My immediate association is the “[name]Honey[/name] Boo Boo Child”. She ruined this name for me. But its pretty. I like it spelled this way.
[name]Brenna[/name] - I knew a [name]Brenna[/name]. She was really pretty. Its NMS but its a fine name.
[name]Felicity[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Felicity[/name]. It just sounds happy. I like the nicknames Lissy, [name]Fee[/name], [name]Flick[/name] and Flicka for it.
[name]Fiona[/name] - [name]Love[/name]! So underused. I like the nn [name]Fee[/name].
[name]Ella[/name] - Cute but way overused.
[name]Cassandra[/name] - I have a bad association with this name in the form of a Kindergarten bully. The nn [name]Cassie[/name] is cute though.

[name]Phoebe[/name] - NMS, it sounds nasally to me.
[name]Coralie[/name] - Cute French name. [name]Adore[/name] the nn [name]Cora[/name] or just [name]Cora[/name] on its own
[name]Georgia[/name] - [name]Love[/name]. Nns could be [name]Gigi[/name], [name]Georgie[/name], [name]Gia[/name], or just G

[name]Beatrix[/name] - Ditto [name]Beatrice[/name]

[name]Willa[/name] - Really cute and quirky. I’d love to see sisters [name]Willa[/name] and [name]Luna[/name]!

[name]Alice[/name] - Reminds me of [name]Alice[/name] in Wonderland. A great association!
[name]Virginia[/name] - NMS, but I like the nn [name]Ginny[/name]. What about [name]Genevieve[/name] or [name]Ginevra[/name]?
[name]Jemima[/name] - Cute. I think of the little girl from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. That was her name, right?
[name]Ramona[/name] - Reminds me of [name]Ramona[/name] [name]Quimby[/name] from the childrens books. I like the nn [name]Romy[/name]

[name]Matilda[/name]- Same as [name]Ramona[/name], I have always loved this because of [name]Roald[/name] Dahl.
[name]Felicity[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this! This name is so fun and pretty to me. [name]Love[/name] that it means happiness!
[name]Fiona[/name] nn [name]FiFi[/name] and Fi - [name]Love[/name] but it’s too common for me. I feel like it’s really classy and girly.
[name]Hermione[/name] - Absolutely love this name! But the [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name] connection makes it unusable for me.
[name]Luna[/name] - It’s too common for me to use but it’s one of my favorites. [name]Love[/name] that it means moon!
[name]Stella[/name] - Not my favorite but I think it’s pretty. [name]Love[/name] that it means star!
[name]Annabelle[/name] nn [name]Belle[/name] - I prefer the full spelling. [name]One[/name] of my favorites but it’s too trendy. It’s really classy, beautiful, and princessy([name]IMO[/name]).
[name]Waverly[/name] nn Wavie - This name feels really fresh to me. I love the sound and feel of it.
[name]Alice[/name] - [name]One[/name] of my favorites but it’s too common. I think of [name]Alice[/name] in Wonderland and it makes the name feel whimsical to me.
[name]Violet[/name] - I would use it if it wasn’t becoming so popular. This name is fun but classy to me.
I like [name]Lily[/name], [name]Isabelle[/name], and [name]Penelope[/name] too but they’re all too popular. I prefer the full spelling [name]Isabelle[/name]. I hate the [name]Isobel[/name] spelling.
My immediate reaction was that aside from [name]Hermione[/name], [name]Coralie[/name], and [name]Jemima[/name], this list looks like selections from the Top 100 of the year 2015. Aside from [name]Jemima[/name] and [name]Waverly[/name], I like them all. And I love [name]Alice[/name]. And [name]Ramona[/name] is fabulous.
[name]Cassandra[/name] – This is still on my list. It’s number 5. I love the nickname [name]Cassia[/name] for it ^^
[name]Helena[/name] – [name]Love[/name] love this one! I love [name]Nell[/name] as a nickname
[name]Hermione[/name] – [name]Love[/name] this pronounced the Greek way - hair-mee-oh-nee - but since I know no one will ever say it that way, I’m avoiding it. I do love it though and I love the mythological connection.

[name]Luna[/name] – Very pretty and whimsical

[name]Vivian[/name] – [name]Love[/name] this spelling and it so spunky and sophisticated. I like [name]Vivi[/name] (viv-ee) as a nickname
[name]Alana[/name] - mms but I like the repetitive a sound
[name]Brenna[/name] - nms prefer [name]Brenda[/name] but it’s also nms
[name]Felicity[/name] - love this. I actually like it because [name]Jane[/name] [name]Austen[/name] used it as a proper word in her books a lot and it reminds me of that (she’s one of my favorite writers). I also like that it’s girly and accessible.
[name]Fiona[/name] - one of my favorites. I like that it’s spunky and yet classic.
[name]Ella[/name] - prefer this as a nn.
[name]Cassandra[/name] - reminds me of the greek myth. I could never use this as a name for my daughter because of that negative connotation. (If you use this for a child please read the myth first).
[name]Clara[/name] - The Nutcracker - that’s association is my favorite thing about this name.
[name]Helena[/name] - love this. [name]One[/name] of my favorite Shakespearian characters and that its similar to [name]Helen[/name] (who launched a thousand ships) is nice too.

[name]Caroline[/name] - nms.
[name]Sophie[/name] - love it. I know it’s popular and a little plain for some. In my case it’s a family name - one of the reasons I like it.
[name]Phoebe[/name] - I love the spunk behind this name.
[name]Coralie[/name] - I don’t usually like names that start with Cora_ (mostly because I don’t like the name [name]Cora[/name]) [name]Coralie[/name] however I like.

[name]Coralie[/name] - see above. this a repeat on the list.
[name]Annabel[/name] - one of my new favorites. if you made it [name]Annabella[/name] then [name]Ella[/name] would be a great nn
[name]Isabel[/name] - sweet.
[name]Willa[/name] - one of my new favorites. I love that it’s like [name]Willow[/name] but with a more upbeat ending.

[name]Annabelle[/name] - see [name]Annabel[/name] above. Prefer this spelling.
[name]Isabelle[/name] - see [name]Isabel[/name] and [name]Isobel[/name]. Prefer the other spelling.
[name]Tabitha[/name] - reminds me of Bewitched I like it’s spunkiness despite the length.

[name]Helena[/name]-NMS
[name]Hermione[/name]-I love [name]Hermione[/name]! The [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name] character is a wonderful association, but it might be a difficult name to carry. Perhaps use [name]Hermione[/name] as a middle?

[name]Stella[/name]-I like it.
[name]Lily[/name]-You can’t go wrong with [name]Lily[/name]! It’s a beautiful name, but awfully popular at the moment.
[name]Susannah[/name]-I’m a little biased (even though my name is [name]Susan[/name] and not [name]Susannah[/name]) but I love it. My preferred nickname (which is one of mine, ha!) is [name]Zuzu[/name].

[name]Beatrix[/name]-I prefer [name]Beatrix[/name] to [name]Beatrice[/name].
[name]Coralie[/name]-I love it!

[name]Virginia[/name]-NMS
[name]Jemima[/name]-I’m not sure if you’re in the US, but if you are,I’d stay away from it. It’d be a difficult name to carry,because of Aunt [name]Jemima[/name]'s syrup, and I guess it’s a derogatory term and offensive?
[name]Ramona[/name]- I grew up a big [name]Beverly[/name] [name]Cleary[/name] fan and I loved the [name]Ramona[/name] books. [name]Love[/name] [name]Ramona[/name]!
[name]Beverly[/name]-NMS

[name]Pippa[/name]-I like it, but it’s too tied to [name]Pippa[/name] Middleton at the moment.
[name]Shaina[/name]-NMS
[name]Lia[/name]-I prefer [name]Leah[/name] but this spelling is growing on me.
[name]Leah[/name]-[name]Love[/name] it!
[name]Alia[/name]-NMS
[name]Isobel[/name]-I prefer [name]Isabelle[/name] above all, but this is my second favorite spelling. It reminds me of the character on [name]Grey[/name]'s Anatomy.
[name]Annabelle[/name]-[name]Love[/name] it!
[name]Isabelle[/name]-Another favorite.
[name]Tabitha[/name]-NMS
[name]Matilda[/name]-[name]Matilda[/name] is one of my favorite books, and I love the name as well. I love [name]Matilda[/name] nn [name]Millie[/name] or [name]Tilly[/name].

[name]Hermione[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this one!
[name]Sophie[/name] - soooo pretty and cute.
[name]Phoebe[/name] - one of my favourites.
[name]Luna[/name] - spunky!
[name]Susannah[/name] - I’m starting to really like this name. I used to dislike i
[name]Beatrix[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name]!
[name]Waverly[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this one too. Cute and romantic.
[name]Alice[/name] - Classic.
[name]Violet[/name] - Prefer [name]Violette[/name] or [name]Violetta[/name], but it’s pretty.
[name]Vivian[/name] - prefer [name]Vivien[/name] or [name]Vivienne[/name], but it’s a very pretty name either way.
[name]Isobel[/name] - My favourite bel name.
[name]Fiona[/name] - great name, spunky, but alas, so close to [name]Sophia[/name] that I’m afraid it’s going to be uber popular in the next few years . . . otherwise it would be my top choice
[name]Sophie[/name] - cute spin on the over-used [name]Sophia[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name] - have always liked this name
[name]Coralie[/name] - [name]Cora[/name] is a sweet nickname and I like this longer version a lot. Very accessible and sweet.
[name]Georgia[/name] - great name. I can’t use it because I live in [name]Georgia[/name]! [name]Georgie[/name], [name]Gia[/name] and even [name]Peach[/name] are cute nicknames.
[name]Ramona[/name] - I love the way this name sounds, I have a cherished aunt [name]Ramona[/name], and nn [name]Mona[/name] is amazing.
[name]Violet[/name] - I’m partial to nature names and this is one of my favorites. [name]Vi[/name] is a cute nickname.
[name]Vivian[/name] - have been obsessed with this name since reading the Ya-Ya Sisterhood books years ago. [name]Love[/name] [name]Vivi[/name].
[name]Penelope[/name] - cool and clunky, a long-time favorite, but I’m scared this will become the [name]Mason[/name] of girls b/c of the Kardashians
[name]Pippa[/name] - very cute name, but I’d probably only use it as a nickname. I like Phillippa, but I love [name]Juniper[/name]. Would probably go with a different long form because [name]Pippa[/name] alone is too close to [name]Pippi[/name] Longstocking for me.
[name]Alice[/name] - sprightly and sweet. I love [name]Alice[/name].
Like:
[name]Felicity[/name] - Nice sound but very girly and limited nn options. [name]Fifi[/name]? If middle was an A name, [name]Faye[/name]?
[name]Clara[/name] - Simple but beautiful sound.
[name]Stella[/name] - great name, demoted only because I know a ton of little girls named [name]Stella[/name]
[name]Lily[/name] - Same as [name]Stella[/name]. I love this name, but soooo popular.
[name]Susannah[/name] - Great classic name, and I’d love to meet a little [name]Susie[/name]! Cute.
[name]Beatrice[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name] - I like both but I prefer this spelling. [name]Trixie[/name], [name]Bea[/name], [name]Bette[/name], and [name]Betty[/name] are all great.
[name]Willa[/name] - nice name, much better than [name]Willow[/name] imo
[name]Isobel[/name] - I prefer this spelling of [name]Isobel[/name] b/c it makes the name stronger. [name]Love[/name] [name]Izzy[/name] and [name]Elle[/name] as nns.
[name]Matilda[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Roald[/name] Dahl and I like this name, but I’m tired of [name]Mattie[/name]/[name]Maddie[/name] and not wild about about [name]Tilly[/name]/[name]Tildy[/name]
[name]Don[/name]'t Like:
These are perfectly fine names, just nms.
[name]Alana[/name] - seems dated, like [name]Dana[/name]
[name]Brenna[/name] - was never a fan of [name]Jenna[/name], too similar to [name]Jenna[/name] for me
[name]Ella[/name] - overused
[name]Cassandra[/name] - dated
[name]Helena[/name]
[name]Hermione[/name] - too [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name] I’m afraid.
[name]Caroline[/name] - dated
[name]Luna[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name]
[name]Isabel[/name]
[name]Waverly[/name]
[name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Jemima[/name]
[name]Beverly[/name]
[name]Shaina[/name] - dated
[name]Lia[/name] - this spelling is better, just not really a favorite
[name]Leah[/name]
[name]Alia[/name]
[name]Annabelle[/name] - personally, I’m tired of -belle endings
[name]Isabelle[/name]
[name]Tabitha[/name]
I’ll comment on the ones I like or have something else to say about, the ones I haven’t listed I’m either neutral to or just don’t like.
[name]Felicity[/name] - Greatly prefer [name]Felicia[/name], favourite nickname is [name]Flick[/name].
[name]Cassandra[/name] - My main reference is horrible [name]Cassandra[/name] the last human from [name]Doctor[/name] Who. Can’t take it since then, but quite like Cassander for a boy.
[name]Clara[/name] - Favourite! I adore [name]Clara[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] - Another Favourite, [name]Nell[/name] is my preferred nickname!
[name]Hermione[/name] - I really like her, but for someone else’s child. I don’t like the combination of letters for some reason. [name]Hero[/name] is wonderful and would be my choice for something similar. Or just [name]Hermes[/name] for a boy (nn [name]Mies[/name])
[name]Phoebe[/name] - I love [name]Phoebe[/name], she’s way too popular for me though. I’m going for [name]Phaedra[/name] or Pasiphae.
[name]Coralie[/name] - I love [name]Cora[/name]. [name]Coralie[/name] is nice, but I feel the elaboration is unnecessary. [name]Cora[/name] is fine on her own. Nn would be [name]Cora[/name] or [name]Coco[/name]
[name]Luna[/name] - I like [name]Luna[/name] but prefer [name]Selene[/name]/a for a moon related name. [name]Lyra[/name] is one notch more fun.
[name]Susannah[/name] - Prefer spelled [name]Susanna[/name], one of my favourites ^^ [name]Sosie[/name] would be my nn for a [name]Susanna[/name], but I also like the possibility of [name]Annie[/name].
[name]Beatrice[/name]/[name]Beatrix[/name] - Slightly prefer [name]Beatrice[/name], like [name]Beata[/name], [name]Beatriz[/name] or Viatrix more. Also like Pieta more than [name]Beata[/name], but that’s moving too far away I guess… [name]Bea[/name] (pronounced bee-uh only) is my favourite nickname, but also [name]Bix[/name] for [name]Beatrix[/name] or simple [name]Betty[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name] - My favourite spelling of the name, crisp and clean. [name]Anna[/name], [name]Annie[/name] or [name]Bell[/name] would be my nicknames. I like this more than [name]Isabel[/name] because it’s related to [name]Anna[/name], a name I recently rediscovered the simple beauty of.
[name]Willa[/name] - Sweet and spunky, always makes me smile. Still a little too nickname-ish for me, [name]Willamina[/name] nn [name]Willa[/name] would be my pick.
[name]Alice[/name] - Another classic favourite. I once read a book where the main character was called [name]Ala[/name]ïs, an old French variant I really love.
[name]Virginia[/name] - I used to hate this. Then I heard [name]Tori[/name] [name]Amos[/name] singing ‘[name]Virginia[/name]’ (which I think is about a prostitute :S) and I fell for it. The melody is very beautiful.
[name]Ramona[/name] - I want to like [name]Ramona[/name], but I’m just not. I think it’s the [name]Mona[/name] part that’s so very 60’s here in Norway. [name]Romola[/name] is wonderful though! Or [name]Romina[/name], [name]Romilda[/name], Romarin or Romelia. Or just [name]Roma[/name]. I think I like [name]Ro[/name]- more than [name]Ra[/name]-.
[name]Violet[/name] - I prefer [name]Viola[/name] or [name]Violeta[/name]. [name]Lettie[/name] would be the best nickname.
[name]Penelope[/name] - I love it, also like [name]Nell[/name] the most as with [name]Helena[/name]. I would also like to mention [name]Penny[/name]. Most people like [name]Poppy[/name] or [name]Lola[/name], but the simple [name]Penny[/name] is wonderful as well
[name]Lia[/name] - I like it a lot more than [name]Leah[/name], but more as a nickname for a name ending in -lia, like [name]Aurelia[/name], [name]Amalia[/name], [name]Celia[/name], [name]Fidelia[/name], [name]Magnolia[/name], [name]Rosalia[/name], [name]Camelia[/name], [name]Cecilia[/name], Cloelia… etc…
[name]Isobel[/name] - My favourite [name]Isabella[/name] version, I love the O ^^ I also quite like Isabelline but she’s a bit of a mouthful and demands some wonderful names for potential sisters, like [name]Artemisia[/name] and Millefleur.
[name]Tabitha[/name] - I like it but prefer [name]Tacita[/name]. I guess I’m drawn to the combination of T’s and a B, but I don’t think I could ever like it enough to use it.
