Girl Names

I’ve posted before but I am coming back with a couple extra names to add to our list :slight_smile:

I think I will start with finding out what name you like the best (or if you have time, put them in order) before I tell you my DD’s name. Maybe tell me why you do or do not like the names. I think sibsets should sound good together but I also think the individual name is more important :slight_smile: I live in a pretty trendy city and I am starting to hear some of these names more but…this is the list we have arrived at. Thank you so much for your help!

Our list:
[name]Aveline[/name] (Av-uh-leen)
[name]Helene[/name]
Corinna–edited to this spelling, which I prefer
[name]Hazel[/name]
[name]Willa[/name]

1 [name]Aveline[/name] - A rare French beauty.
2 [name]Corrina[/name] - I prefer the [name]Corinna[/name] spelling and the “ko-[name]RIN[/name]-uh” pronunciation. A classic mythological name. I also like [name]Corinne[/name] (ko-[name]RIN[/name]).
3 [name]Willa[/name] - soft and feminine with a great literary pedigree
4 [name]Hazel[/name] - OK but not my favourite colour/tree name.
5 [name]Helene[/name] - I prefer [name]Helena[/name]. I knew a [name]Helene[/name] so it has a negative association for me. Unless you’re pronouncing it the French way (HÉLÈNE = “ay-len”) then [name]Helene[/name] (he-LEEN) sounds very dated compared to [name]Helena[/name].

Ranked in Order:

  1. Aveline - Oh-so lovely.
  2. Willa - After saying this out loud a few times it grew on me. I like it.
  3. Corrina - The spelling looks off, but the sound is pretty. I prefer Corinne, though.
  4. Hazel - This was on my list for a while, but I’ve grown out of liking it. It’s okay, but there are better nature names ie: Juniper
  5. Helene - This would be higher if it were spelt Helen. It would be tied for 1st if it were the fresher Helena.

[name]Hazel[/name]- I think this is a spunky classic name! Cute!
[name]Aveline[/name]- I like it in theory but I think if you used the nn [name]Ava[/name] she would just be piled in with all the other avas!
[name]Helene[/name]- I prefer just plain old [name]Helen[/name]!
[name]Willa[/name]- Im not a fan personally but its ok
[name]Corrina[/name]- I like it if its pronounce Core-EE-na… but not cor-IN-a

We love [name]Corinna[/name] and also love the song by [name]Taj[/name] Mahal and [name]Bob[/name] [name]Dylan[/name] and it is pronounced [name]Cor[/name]–ree-na…

[name]Do[/name] you all think [name]Hazel[/name] is becoming really popular? We live in a trendy city and I am hearing it much more but it is a family name and we love it. It is hard to decide because of popularity. I want to find a name I like as much…
