Girl Names
1

I originally posted awhile ago asking for French names, but now it looks as though we won’t be staying in [name]France[/name] for much longer so now my naming ideas are out the door.
What do you think of these names? Any other ideas I might like? Last name is Darling :slight_smile:

[name]Emmeline[/name] (i can’t decide if i like the -leen or -line pronunciation better!)
[name]Georgiana[/name]
[name]Jane[/name]
[name]Iris[/name]
[name]Arabella[/name]
[name]Angeline[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Rosaline[/name] (see [name]Emmeline[/name])
[name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Viola[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name]/[name]Celia[/name]
[name]Ginevra[/name] (nn [name]Ginny[/name])
[name]Evangeline[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Briony[/name]
[name]Sylvie[/name]
I also really like the names [name]Hattie[/name] and [name]Winnie[/name], but not so much [name]Harriet[/name] or [name]Winifred[/name]…any other names those could be nicknames for?
Thanks so much in advance!

[name]Wilhelmina[/name] Darling nn [name]Winnie[/name] would be so, well, “darling” :slight_smile: Of your choices I like [name]Rosaline[/name] (prn [name]Line[/name]) or [name]Louisa[/name].

With the last name Darling, I would probably avoid names ending in ‘ie’ or ‘y’ because it could sound like a cutesy nickname, like [name]Sylvie[/name] Darling (even though I love the name). This could be just me, though…

[name]Emmeline[/name]: I like the ‘leen’ pronunciation, but with your last name, ‘line’ is way better.

[name]Georgiana[/name]: I’ve never been much of a fan of the [name]George[/name] names, but it’s nice enough.

[name]Jane[/name]: [name]Jane[/name] Darling is lovely!

[name]Iris[/name]: I love [name]Iris[/name]! It sounds great with Darling, too.

[name]Arabella[/name]: A little frilly, but pretty…

[name]Angeline[/name]: The ‘leen’ ending doesn’t sound good with Darling at all.

[name]Felicity[/name]: Again, the Y ending… it’s not that bad with 4 syllables, though.

[name]Rosaline[/name]: I like it better with the leen ending, ‘line’ sounds way better…

[name]Beatrix[/name]: It’s a cute name-- not one of my favorites, but nice.

[name]Viola[/name]: I really like this with Darling!

[name]Cecilia[/name]/[name]Celia[/name]: [name]Both[/name] are lovely, but I think [name]Cecilia[/name] Darling flows a bit better.

[name]Ginevra[/name] (nn [name]Ginny[/name]): I really love it, but the primary association for most people with be [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name] (not a bad association at all!).

[name]Evangeline[/name]: The endings rhyme…

[name]Louisa[/name]: I [name]LOVE[/name] this. It’s absolutely perfect! [name]Louisa[/name] Darling-- gorgeous!

[name]Briony[/name]: I prefer [name]Bryony[/name], though it’s not one of my favorites.

[name]Sylvie[/name]: What about [name]Sylvia[/name]? I love both…

[name]Hattie[/name] could be [name]Henrietta[/name] or [name]Hester[/name]… [name]Winnie[/name] could be [name]Wilhelmina[/name], [name]Bronwen[/name], [name]Morwenna[/name], Elowen, [name]Winona[/name]…

I love your list! You can’t go wrong with any of them, but I think [name]Louisa[/name], [name]Iris[/name], [name]Viola[/name], [name]Ginevra[/name], and [name]Cecilia[/name] are really great.
