Picking Out the Realistic Ones - M-Z

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: Abigail, Ezra, Faith, Galilee, Grace, Harvest, Hosanna, Jubilee, Leah, Lourdes, Miracle, Rebekah

MN only: Peace, Prayer, Lucy, Dream, Cricket, Princess, [Delight]
Mary(Delight for a boy or a girl | Nameberry), Zoe

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

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

(A-E | F-L)

[name_f]Madeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Mariah[/name_f]
[name_f]Marisol[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f]
[name_f]Mercedes[/name_f]

[name_f]Naomi[/name_f]
[name_f]Natalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Nevaeh[/name_f]
[name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Praise[/name_f]
[name_f]Priscilla[/name_f]
[name_f]Promise[/name_f]
[name_f]Rachel[/name_f]

[name_f]Sadie[/name_f]
[name_u]Sailor[/name_u]
[name_f]Samantha[/name_f]
[name_f]Sapphire[/name_f]
[name_f]Sapphira[/name_f]
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f]
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]
[name_f]Selah[/name_f]
[name_f]Serafina[/name_f]
[name_f]Serendipity[/name_f]
[name_f]Serenity[/name_f]
[name_f]Sincerity[/name_f]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_f]Stephanie[/name_f]
[name_f]Summer[/name_f]
[name_f]Sunday[/name_f]
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f]
[name_u]Sydney[/name_u]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Talitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Temperance[/name_f]
[name_f]Trinity[/name_f]
[name_u]True[/name_u]
[name_u]Truly[/name_u]
[name_f]Verity[/name_f]
[name_f]Victory[/name_f]
[name_f]Zillah[/name_f]
[name_f]Zipporah[/name_f]

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

Thank you! :slight_smile:

All are usable as first names except [name_f]Milagros[/name_f], [name_f]Promise[/name_f], [name_f]Remember[/name_f], [name_f]Serendipity[/name_f], [name_f]Sincerity[/name_f], and [name_f]Temperance[/name_f]. I’m torn between [name_f]Serendipity[/name_f] and [name_f]Sincerity[/name_f] as middle names or guilty pleasures.

Mercedes is one of my absolute favorite names! I would want people to pronounce it like the name, and not like the car, which is why I lean towards “middle name only” for myself. It depends on which pronunciation you like, and how much the car association bothers you! It’s a lovely name and I’m so happy to see it on your list!
