Opinions Please!

I would like everyone’s opinion on the names in my signature, as well as any like them and suggestions. thanks!

[name_f]Iantha[/name_f]/[name_f]Ianthe[/name_f] - (sorry I grouped these together) this name really isn’t my style but I would love to meet one! I think it’s very unique without sounding too out there.
[name_f]Annelise[/name_f]- this name is ok but I never know how to spell this name! like ever!
[name_f]Elora[/name_f]- this is pretty! I also like Alora as another suggestion, but el- names are really in righy now!
[name_f]Evanna[/name_f]- I’ve always liked the sound of this name! My sister had a friend named [name_f]Ivana[/name_f], But I like the E better, though I personally prefer Evana. [name_f]Evie[/name_f] would be a cute nn if you’re into nn :slight_smile:
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u]- nms but has a lot of cute nns like [name_f]Merry[/name_f]!
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]- I know this is a nb fav but I just can’t latch on. I knew a boy named Korah growing up though, maybe that’s why.
[name_f]Agatha[/name_f]- sorry but nms
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]- I loove this one! I love the Nutcracker association!!
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]- nms but I know a lot of people love this
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f]- this has grown on me lately
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]- I go back and forth on this name, right now it’s only ok to me, but I would like to meet a little [name_f]Fiona[/name_f]! I’ve only ever met one who was my age.

[name_m]Chester[/name_m]- Ahh sorry I can only think of a cat named [name_m]Chester[/name_m]. but cats are awesome at least haha!
[name_m]Weston[/name_m]- loove this! [name_u]West[/name_u] is adorable too!
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]- really cute, I like it because of the tv show Once Upon a Time.
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]- this name is ok- another nb fav that i am just neutral on.
[name_u]Kai[/name_u]- absolutely adore this!

out of your middles i like: [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Faye[/name_f], [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], [name_f]Lisette[/name_f], [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], and [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] :slight_smile:

Thank you so much for your thorough answer! You have really good taste. And I agree about spelling confusion with Annelise.

[name_f]Iantha[/name_f]/[name_f]Ianthe[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Ianthe[/name_f] much more (at least in look, even if they are (might be?) said the same? I’ve heard [name_f]Ianthe[/name_f] said like ee-ann-thee or ee-ann-thuh), but I like [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] even more.
[name_f]Annelise[/name_f] - I like it a lot, but I like the Annelies(e) and [name_f]Annalise[/name_f] spellings more. I’m considering it as a MN on my own list. :slight_smile:
[name_f]Elora[/name_f] - I know a quite adorable [name_f]Elora[/name_f], but she is also sort of stuck-up, so these days I do prefer [name_f]Eliora[/name_f]. If I hadn’t known the [name_f]Elora[/name_f] I do know, I would like it much more, though, and I still love it as a MN (I had a serious crush on [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Elora[/name_f] a while back!).
[name_f]Evanna[/name_f] - I love [name_f]Eva[/name_f] names, and many [name_f]Annie[/name_f] names, but I much prefer [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] or [name_f]Annabel[/name_f]/[name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]/[name_f]Anne[/name_f]-[name_f]Claire[/name_f] to this.
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u] - it’s okay, but it feels a wee bit dated to me. I like [name_f]Edith[/name_f] or [name_f]Mary[/name_f] more, but I do think [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] nn [name_f]Edie[/name_f] is pretty cute. I used to really like it, though, and [name_f]Julia[/name_f] [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] was on my list for a short while!
[name_f]Cora[/name_f] - I think I’ve been overexposed to [name_f]Cora[/name_f], as I’ve come across about 6 in the time of one or two years. Still a nice name, but it’s way overused in my area, and I don’t think I’d use it anymore. I do like [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] a lot, though!
[name_f]Agatha[/name_f] - I like it quite a lot (also the [name_m]French[/name_m] variant, [name_f]Agathe[/name_f]!), but I would use [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] (or even [name_f]Agnessa[/name_f]) over it anyday. I would be thrilled to meet either an [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] OR an [name_f]Agatha[/name_f], though!
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Claire[/name_f] a bit more, but I do like [name_f]Clara[/name_f] a lot, too. I only like the international pronunciation (CLAH-rah), though, instead of the more American [name_u]CLAIR[/name_u]-ah.
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - love! I’m torn between [name_f]Eleni[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Elena[/name_f], and [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] on my own list, but I already have [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] as a MN for [name_f]Arianne[/name_f], so I obviously love it. I adore the nns [name_f]Ella[/name_f] and [name_f]Lena[/name_f] for it!
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] - I am actually sort of considering [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] for my [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] combo, haha! I’m really into Italian names lately ([name_f]Sofia[/name_f], [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], [name_f]Gemma[/name_f], [name_f]Annabella[/name_f], [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Maddalena[/name_f], [name_f]Giovanna[/name_f], etc.!), and [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] is no exception. I think [name_f]Gem[/name_f]/[name_f]Gemmy[/name_f] are adorable nns!
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f] - I like it, but don’t love it. I like [name_f]Fiora[/name_f]/[name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] more.
[name_f]Eve[/name_f] - adore. I seem to stick [name_f]Eve[/name_f] anywhere I can put her–she’s just magnificent! So chic and simple and breathtakingly gorgeous. I can’t imagine using [name_f]Eve[/name_f] as a FN, but I love it in the MN spot.
[name_f]Lucette[/name_f] - I like a lot of -et(t/te)/otte names, but I much prefer [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] or [name_f]Lucilla[/name_f] (or even [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f]!) to [name_f]Lucette[/name_f].
[name_f]Faye[/name_f] - not really my thing, but I can see the appeal. I like it in the right combo.
[name_f]Mae[/name_f] - my grandma’s MN, but I’m quite picky about it. It seems so filler as a MN, in general. I have been thinking that [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f]/[name_f]Maddalena[/name_f] nn [name_f]Mae[/name_f]/[name_f]May[/name_f] would be pretty adorable!
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f] - as far as [name_f]Soph[/name_f]/Sof- names go, [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] is by far my favorite, but I can appreciate [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], and have long loved the [name_m]French[/name_m] double barrel [name_f]Anne[/name_f]-[name_f]Sophie[/name_f].
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] - I can’t really get into this as a FN, but I love it as a MN, in the right combo! If I did use it up front, I would use the nns [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_f]Mae[/name_f], or [name_f]Greta[/name_f]. [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is by far my favorite. :slight_smile:
[name_f]Lisette[/name_f] - ooh, I have been crushing on [name_f]Lisette[/name_f] lately, too! I love her.
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - one of my favorite names ever! I love [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], and I love her just as much as a MN as a FN. I have her in both places on my list.
[name_f]Miriam[/name_f] - very nice. I find it hard to [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] her, but the two Miriams I have known have been the most beautiful, kind, genuine women I have known, one of which was like a third grandma to me. :slight_smile: I definitely like seeing [name_f]Miriam[/name_f], even if I wouldn’t use it myself.

[name_f]Annelise[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] - one combo where I would really support [name_f]Faye[/name_f]! It works really well. I’d prefer to see [name_f]Annalise[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] ([name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f]?), but [name_f]Annelise[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] is still really gorgeous.
[name_f]Elora[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] - again, I’d like to see [name_f]Eliora[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], but [name_f]Elora[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] works really well.
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u] [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] - I’m not really wowed by either name, and it really does nothing for me putting them together, but they are both respectable, timeless names, and there’s nothing wrong with the combo. :slight_smile:
[name_f]Agatha[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] - nice. I’d prefer something a bit more modern with [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] (like [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] [name_f]Lark[/name_f] or [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f]?), but [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] works just fine.
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] - I can’t decide whether I would prefer something longer with [name_f]Clara[/name_f], or if it’s just right! It is rather stunning, the more I think about it!
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Lisette[/name_f] - I like it a lot! I would have never thought to pair them together, but I am definitely a fan.
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] - I love [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], but would prefer to switch them ([name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Fiona[/name_f]!). I would love to meet a little [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Fiona[/name_f]. [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] is nice, but I’m not quite as fond of it as the other way around.
[name_f]Iantha[/name_f] [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] - I would like [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] [name_f]Ianthe[/name_f] much more, but it is a very nice pairing!
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] - love it just the way it was! If I liked [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] enough to use it, I can definitely see me using [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]–it’s right up my alley! As it is, I nearly kept the almost-identical [name_f]Leona[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] on my own list.

As for similar names, I don’t know! What about:

[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliora[/name_f]
[name_f]Magdalena[/name_f]/[name_f]Maddalena[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f]/[name_f]Gracia[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiorella[/name_f]
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]/[name_f]Eloisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Serena[/name_f]
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgia/name_f
[name_f]Helene[/name_f]/a
[name_f]Camille[/name_f]
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f]
[name_f]Esther[/name_f]
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]/a
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f]
[name_f]Aislinn[/name_f]

Good luck!

Thank you for writing so much! I agree with you on many counts. Some combos I put together because they sound good together, and I might not be in love with one of them. [name_f]Mae[/name_f] was my Gramma’s middle name also! [name_f]Mae[/name_f],
[name_f]Faye[/name_f], [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], and [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] are family names and that’s my reason for including them. Thanks again
