Our girls list. We need as much help as we can get!

Girl Names
1

[name]Hi[/name], this is my first post. I’ve been lurking for a while collecting names for my child who is due on [name]July[/name] 24th. So after putting it off for a long time, I decided to make an account and ask for opinions/suggestions, considering we don’t have long left at all now! (Approx 24 days which is nerve-racking and exciting at the same time!)

If it helps any, my name is [name]Aimee[/name] and my husband’s name is [name]Win[/name] ([name]Edwin[/name]). We also have an angel baby boy called [name]Ignatius[/name] [name]Evander[/name] [name]Piet[/name] (peet)

Our girls list so far is:
Mietta (Me-Ett-[name]Ah[/name]) - This is our top name right now.
[name]Cosima[/name]
[name]Mariposa[/name]
[name]Avalon[/name]
[name]Clementine[/name] - Too fruity?
[name]Calina[/name] ([name]Cal[/name]-Eye-Nah)
[name]Penna[/name]
[name]Milena[/name]
[name]Iona[/name]
[name]Alethea[/name]
[name]Leda[/name]

We have some middle name ideas (we’d also like 2 middle names for this baby, like [name]Ignatius[/name]’ name.) We have:
[name]Mariposa[/name] (also as a middle)
[name]Persephone[/name]
[name]Bird[/name]
[name]Reverie[/name]
Hespera
[name]Apolline[/name]
[name]Seraphina[/name]
[name]Delphine[/name]
[name]Willow[/name]
[name]Phaedra[/name]
[name]Alba[/name] (& [name]Albia[/name])
[name]Juno[/name]
[name]Avita[/name]
[name]Valentina[/name]

Anyway, I’d love it if you could try and make some combos with these names as my husband and I seem to suck with making names flow, and we’d also appreciate any other thoughts and some suggestions! :slight_smile:

[name]Just[/name] commented on your boys list, so I figured I’d do the girls. Again, I’m bolding the ones I particularly like.

Mietta - there’s nothing wrong with it. I find it too…airy for my tastes.
[name]Cosima[/name] - I like the potential nn Cozy. Not bad, but feels…awkward
[name]Mariposa[/name] - feels like a lot of name
[name]Avalon[/name] - [name]Aveline[/name] feels more name-ish.
[name]Clementine[/name] - Yes, fruity. But still a lovely name, especially with [name]Ignatius[/name]. Pronunciation of clem-en-teen will diminish fruit references
[name]Calina[/name] - like a recliner?
[name]Penna[/name] - seems too made up, especially compared to [name]Ignatius[/name]
[name]Milena[/name] - see Mietta. I think I like Mietta better.
[name]Iona[/name] - make sure your last name isn’t “pen” or “car” or some other inanimate object
[name]Alethea[/name] - I love this name! I don’t even usually like “al” names, but the [name]Thea[/name] makes it pretty. Goes well with [name]Ignatius[/name] Although, I’m not sure if I’m pronouncing it right (ah-lee-thee-ah?)
[name]Leda[/name] - lead a what?

[name]Mariposa[/name] - definitely better in the middle
[name]Persephone[/name] - love this name! [name]Just[/name] cause. I tend to like the Greek “e”
[name]Bird[/name] - too blatant for my tastes. Although [name]Clementine[/name] [name]Bird[/name] sounds nice
[name]Reverie[/name] - ditto
Hespera - The “h” is throwing me off. It’s almost like Diaspora, but not…
[name]Apolline[/name] - not sure how to pronounce this. If it’s ap-oll-een, it’s pretty, but [name]Apple[/name] throws me off.
[name]Seraphina[/name] - personal favorite :slight_smile: But I agree on you with that it’s middle name territory. Too frilly for the front.
[name]Delphine[/name] - Okay, but I’m not a fan of the letter “d”
[name]Willow[/name] - nice and soft sounding. [name]Alethea[/name] [name]Willow[/name] sounds nice. Now it just needs a strong second middle…let’s see what we’ve got…
[name]Phaedra[/name] - I like it! I guess I like Greek names
[name]Alba[/name] (& [name]Albia[/name]) - Not a fan of the letter b. Prefer [name]Alma[/name]. [name]Clementine[/name] [name]Alma[/name] [name]Bird[/name]. That sounds nice.
[name]Juno[/name] - Okay. Prefer [name]June[/name]. The o’s are for the boys.
[name]Avita[/name] - This sounds gorgeous, especially as [name]Alethea[/name] [name]Willow[/name] [name]Avita[/name] or Clemetine [name]Bird[/name] [name]Avita[/name].
[name]Valentina[/name] - eh. I’ve heard it one too many times as a first, but a middle might be nice.

So, combos…
[name]Clementine[/name] [name]Bird[/name] [name]Avita[/name]
[name]Clementine[/name] [name]Alma[/name] [name]Bird[/name]
[name]Alethea[/name] [name]Willow[/name] [name]Avita[/name]

Mietta [name]Persephone[/name] [name]Bird[/name]
Mietta [name]Phaedra[/name] [name]Clementine[/name]/Mietta [name]Clementine[/name] [name]Phaedra[/name]

Also, I accidentally typed [name]Clementina[/name] once. [name]How[/name] about [name]Clementina[/name]? Less fruit connotation, same great sounds. Of course, that generates new combos, like…
[name]Clementina[/name] [name]Reverie[/name] [name]June[/name]
[name]Clementina[/name] [name]Reverie[/name] [name]Avalon[/name]
(I feel like it needs the -ee sound, and [name]Reverie[/name] is shorter than [name]Persephone[/name], as [name]Clementina[/name] is already super long)

Congratulations! I [name]LOVE[/name] the name of your son, absolutely gorgeous.

Mietta - gorgeous, though I think it sounds mismatched next to [name]Ignatius[/name], not sure if that matters to you?
[name]Cosima[/name] - love, love, love! [name]Ignatius[/name] and [name]Cosima[/name] are lovely!
[name]Mariposa[/name] - so lovely, though I prefer this in the middle name spot.

[name]Clementine[/name] - love this!!! Also love the sound of [name]Ignatius[/name] and [name]Clementine[/name].
[name]Calina[/name] - quite nice. I think this will get mispronounced as cal-ee-nah however.
[name]Penna[/name] - so cute! I’m not sure if this could work on an adult however.
[name]Milena[/name] - love this, so sleek and elegant.
[name]Iona[/name] - so lovely. Would love to meet a sibset of [name]Ignatius[/name] and [name]Iona[/name].

[name]Reverie[/name] - not my style.
Hespera - so gorgeous.
[name]Apolline[/name] - as above.
[name]Seraphina[/name] - as above.
[name]Delphine[/name] - nice enough, but I feel as though it’s lacking something.
[name]Willow[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] yhis!
[name]Phaedra[/name] - so lovely.
[name]Alba[/name] (& [name]Albia[/name]) - I prefer [name]Alba[/name] to [name]Albia[/name]. A lovely name.
[name]Juno[/name] - so gorgeous.
[name]Avita[/name] - not my style.
[name]Valentina[/name] - so so elegant.

You have some great names on these lists, I can’t wait to see what you choose.

Good job jame1881, I have to say you stumbled upon a really great name, [name]Clementina[/name]! <3

fiammetta - Thank you for the lovely compliment! We’re not too concerned about how the name sounds with [name]Ignatius[/name] but we don’t want it too sound too different or close to it. :slight_smile: Thanks for your opinions, too!

maddylavyre - They’re pretty combos, Mietta [name]Persephone[/name] sounds lovely!

blink - I agree! I’m glad she brought it up because I’d never considered it before!

Thanks so far everyone! :slight_smile:

I love other names on your list but these (plus a couple of additions of my own) are the combinations that worked for me.

Good luck!

Such a beautiful list of fn’s and mn’s! I haven’t read the other posts but just by glancing I thought Iona Reverie Delphine or Iona Delphine Reverie would be pretty. I also love Cosima, Mariposa and Clementine (not too fruity imo, I actually like that association, Clementine oranges make me think of Christmas) w/ Ignatius. I love your son’s full name, btw.

Edited for privacy.

Congrats!! Exciting times!

My favourite combos:

Mietta [name]Juno[/name] [name]Delphine[/name] (very pretty)

[name]Cosima[/name] [name]Juno[/name] [name]Delphine[/name] (great match with Ignatious [name]Evander[/name] [name]Piet[/name])

[name]Penna[/name] [name]Juno[/name] [name]Delphine[/name] (I am a big fan of [name]Penna[/name]- it’s sweet but crisp)

[name]Alethea[/name] [name]Juno[/name] [name]Delphine[/name] (love nicknames of [name]Ali[/name] or [name]Thea[/name])

Sorry not very creative with middle name combos! But I feel [name]Juno[/name] helps ground the more frilly first name options and [name]Delphine[/name] is such an exquisite name and sounds good with the first names which end with A sound.

14

[name]Cosima[/name] [name]Juno[/name] [name]Delphine[/name] is awesome!

15

Gorgeous list! [name]Cosima[/name] is one of my favorites, and Mietta and [name]Milena[/name] are lovely.

Combos:

[name]Milena[/name] [name]Persephone[/name] [name]Juno[/name]
[name]Milena[/name] [name]Willow[/name] [name]Albia[/name]

Mietta [name]Juno[/name] [name]Apolline[/name]
Mietta [name]Seraphina[/name] [name]Bird[/name]

[name]Cosima[/name] [name]Phaedra[/name] [name]Willow[/name]
[name]Cosima[/name] [name]Albia[/name] [name]Delphine[/name]
[name]Cosima[/name] [name]Juno[/name] [name]Avita[/name]

and I second the suggestion of [name]Cosima[/name] [name]Willow[/name] [name]Delphine[/name].

Congrats! [name]July[/name] 24th is my birthday :slight_smile:

Mietta (Me-Ett-[name]Ah[/name]) - Exotic while still pronounceable
[name]Cosima[/name] - [name]How[/name] would you pronounce this one? I’ve heard different pr. but either way, I [name]LOVE[/name] this with [name]Ignatius[/name]
[name]Mariposa[/name] - Sweet
[name]Avalon[/name] - Feels a bit different from your other names, and more on trend with the [name]Ava[/name] thing
[name]Clementine[/name] - No, not too fruity! [name]Clementine[/name] is darling
[name]Calina[/name] ([name]Cal[/name]-Eye-Nah) - I don’t find this one as pretty as your others
[name]Penna[/name] - Reminds me of penne pasta
[name]Milena[/name] - Like it, don’t love it
[name]Iona[/name] - In theory I like this, but it just doesn’t sound nice to me. Also, it sort of starts an I pattern with [name]Ignatius[/name]
[name]Alethea[/name] - [name]Lovely[/name], I also love [name]Athena[/name]
[name]Leda[/name] - Sounds like a cleaning product (I think I’m thinking of Vileda)

[name]Mariposa[/name] (also as a middle) - I think I might prefer this in the middle
[name]Persephone[/name] - [name]Love[/name] it, so beautiful
[name]Bird[/name] - I much prefer [name]Birdie[/name]. [name]Birdie[/name] feels cute and vintage to me while [name]Bird[/name] just makes me think of [name]Bird[/name] is the Word
[name]Reverie[/name] - Pretty
Hespera - Again, lovely
[name]Apolline[/name] - [name]Ah[/name], more lovely!
[name]Seraphina[/name] - Beautiful
[name]Delphine[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t love this one, but still pretty
[name]Willow[/name] - Reminds me too much of [name]Willow[/name] [name]Smith[/name]
[name]Phaedra[/name] - I prefer [name]Phoebe[/name]
[name]Alba[/name] (& [name]Albia[/name]) - [name]Jessica[/name] [name]Alba[/name] is all I think of
[name]Juno[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Juno[/name]
[name]Avita[/name] - Sounds like a brand of some sort
[name]Valentina[/name] - I like a lot of V names, but this just isn’t one of them. I much prefer [name]Valentine[/name]. What about [name]Viveca[/name]?

[name]Ignatius[/name] [name]Evander[/name] [name]Piet[/name] and…

[name]Cosima[/name] [name]Juno[/name] [name]Delphine[/name]
[name]Clementine[/name] [name]Mariposa[/name] [name]Willow[/name]

[name]Alethea[/name] [name]Reverie[/name] [name]Willow[/name]

[name]Cosima[/name] [name]Persephone[/name] [name]Willow[/name]
[name]Clementine[/name] Hespera [name]Willow[/name]

So, I guess my suggestions would be, for first names: [name]Viveca[/name], [name]Sybil[/name], [name]Valentine[/name], [name]Marigold[/name], [name]Magnolia[/name] (oh, maybe to strong of a G sound with [name]Ignatius[/name]), [name]Lavinia[/name], [name]Athena[/name], [name]Cora[/name], and [name]Dahlia[/name]. For middle names: [name]Birdie[/name], [name]Plum[/name], [name]Juniper[/name], [name]June[/name], [name]Melisande[/name], [name]Ianthe[/name], Sophira, [name]Sophronia[/name], [name]Phoebe[/name], [name]Viveca[/name], and [name]Valentine[/name].

[name]Ignatius[/name] [name]Evander[/name] [name]Piet[/name] and…

[name]Athena[/name] [name]Persephone[/name] [name]June[/name]
[name]Clementine[/name] Sophira [name]Plum[/name]
[name]Cosima[/name] [name]Valentine[/name] [name]Juno[/name]
[name]Alethea[/name] [name]Persephone[/name] [name]Willow[/name]
[name]Lavinia[/name] [name]Apolline[/name] [name]Birdie[/name]
[name]Sybil[/name] Hespera [name]Juniper[/name]

Good luck!

I think you have a great list! I love so many of them - [name]Cosima[/name] [name]Juno[/name] [name]Delphine[/name] is awesome, and Mietta I love, too. I think my favorite choice is [name]Mariposa[/name] Mietta [name]Delphine[/name], though…I like the alliteration, and the nn’s [name]Posey[/name], or [name]Mamie[/name] (MAripose MIEtta)…especially because [name]Mamie[/name] and [name]Amie[/name] is kind of cute for mother and daughter:) I also like the nn [name]MIM[/name] - so cute. [name]Persephone[/name] is great, too, and can also use the nn [name]Posey[/name]. Good luck - you really can’t go wrong.
