Picking Out the Realistic Ones - A-E

Girl Names
1

I’m currently generally dumping the names I’m drawn to into the “hoard” as I call it - and I’ve sort of amassed a large list that’s a bit of a tangled mess. I’m trying to pick out realistic favourites at the moment, but it’s a bit tricky, I’m finding?

I’ve currently determined where to put these names:

realistic choices: [name_f]Abigail[/name_f], [name_u]Ezra[/name_u], [name_f]Faith[/name_f], [name_f]Galilee[/name_f], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_u]Harvest[/name_u], [name_f]Hosanna[/name_f], [name_f]Jubilee[/name_f], [name_f]Leah[/name_f], [name_f]Lourdes[/name_f], [name_f]Miracle[/name_f], [name_f]Rebekah[/name_f]

MN only: [name_u]Peace[/name_u], Prayer, [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_u]Dream[/name_u], [name_u]Cricket[/name_u], [name_f]Princess[/name_f], [name_f]Delight[/name_f], [name_f]Zoe[/name_f]

GP (not used for an actual child’s FN or MN): [name_u]Athaliah[/name_u], [name_f]Gianna[/name_f], [name_f]Giovanna[/name_f], [name_f]Hephzibah[/name_f], [name_f]Jemima[/name_f], [name_u]Philadelphia[/name_u], [name_f]Shoshana[/name_f], [name_f]Thankful[/name_f], [name_f]Valentina[/name_f]

Because of the sheer size of the list, I’m tackling it by letter grouping, so this post will be my names from A-E :slight_smile:

[name_u]Abilene[/name_u]
[name_f]Adalynn[/name_f]
[name_f]Aleah[/name_f]
[name_f]Amity[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Aquilina[/name_f]
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Araceli[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f]
[name_f]Autumn[/name_f]
[name_f]Ava[/name_f]
[name_f]Belen[/name_f]
[name_f]Bethany[/name_f]
[name_f]Bethlehem[/name_f]
[name_f]Blessing[/name_f]
[name_f]Charity[/name_f]
[name_f]Cherish[/name_f]
[name_f]Chloe[/name_f]
[name_f]Christiana[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Clarity[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
[name_f]Desiree[/name_f]
[name_f]Destiny[/name_f]
[name_u]Dove[/name_u]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_f]Eliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Ella[/name_f]
[name_f]Emerald[/name_f]
[name_f]Emily[/name_f]
[name_f]Epiphany[/name_f]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f]

Which ones from the A-E list could you see me using realistically? Which ones would be perfect as middles? Which ones should be GP only?

Thank you! :slight_smile:

I did most of these based on vibes…

First Names!
[name_f]Adalynn[/name_f] - I can see you with this, even though it’s not my thing personally
[name_f]Aleah[/name_f]
[name_f]Amity[/name_f] - this feels very you!
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Araceli[/name_f]
[name_f]Bethany[/name_f]
[name_f]Charity[/name_f]
[name_f]Christiana[/name_f]
[name_f]Clarity[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
[name_f]Desiree[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_f]Eliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Epiphany[/name_f]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f]

Middle Names!
[name_u]Abilene[/name_u] - I can definitely see this in a [name_u]Haley[/name_u] combo
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] - to balance out a more daring first, like [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] with [name_u]Harvest[/name_u]
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f]
[name_f]Autumn[/name_f]
[name_f]Ava[/name_f] — like [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] and [name_f]Anna[/name_f] this would be adorable on a more unusual first!
[name_f]Bethlehem[/name_f]
[name_f]Blessing[/name_f]
[name_f]Cherish[/name_f]
[name_f]Chloe[/name_f]
[name_f]Destiny[/name_f]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Ella[/name_f]
[name_f]Emerald[/name_f]
[name_f]Emily[/name_f]

GPs!
[name_f]Aquilina[/name_f] - I love Aquilina, but I just can’t really see it on a little one for you
[name_f]Belen[/name_f] - unfortunately, this sounds like something thoroughly unpleasant to me, so I would avoid it
[name_u]Dove[/name_u] - just doesn’t feel right

I struggled a bit with making a clear division because I would personally not make the same choices as you for some of the names you’ve already determined where to put. For example, I’d say [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] and [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] are realistic choices and I see [name_f]Princess[/name_f] as a GP. I tried too keep your list in mind while sorting these names. I hope this helps you!

Realistic: [name_f]Aleah[/name_f], [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_f]Annabel[/name_f], [name_f]Arabella[/name_f], [name_f]Ariana[/name_f], Autilumn, [name_f]Ava[/name_f], [name_f]Christiana[/name_f], [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], [name_f]Desiree[/name_f], [name_u]Eden[/name_u], [name_f]Eliana[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Emily[/name_f], [name_f]Eva[/name_f]

Middle name only: [name_f]Araceli[/name_f], [name_f]Belen[/name_f], [name_f]Bethany[/name_f], [name_f]Blessing[/name_f], [name_f]Chloe[/name_f], [name_f]Destiny[/name_f], [name_f]Emerald[/name_f]

GP:
[name_u]Abilene[/name_u], [name_f]Adalynn[/name_f], [name_f]Amity[/name_f], [name_f]Aquilina[/name_f], [name_f]Bethlehem[/name_f], [name_f]Charity[/name_f], [name_f]Cherish[/name_f], [name_f]Clarity[/name_f], [name_u]Dove[/name_u], [name_f]Epiphany[/name_f]

Oh, [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] is a MN as it’s a family member’s pet’s name, [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] is just super popular where we are, [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] doesn’t quite feel right with us not being Italian, and [name_f]Princess[/name_f] is my childhood nickname :slight_smile: I know they’re a bit different from how others would sort them though!

Thank you everyone, I’ll go through these in a little bit and figure out what names I’m going to put where!! :heart:

All of these are realistic except [name_f]Bethlehem[/name_f], [name_f]Blessing[/name_f], [name_f]Charity[/name_f], [name_f]Cherish[/name_f], [name_f]Clarity[/name_f] and [name_f]Epiphany[/name_f].

I like all of these as middle names, especially [name_f]Epiphany[/name_f]! The holiday is important to me and while [name_f]Tiffany[/name_f] is more usable, there’s something about the sound of [name_f]Epiphany[/name_f] that I just love.

I think all are pretty usable except [name_f]Epiphany[/name_f]. [name_f]Belen[/name_f] and [name_f]Araceli[/name_f] are beautiful but I would be surprised to see them on a non-Hispanic child.
