My girls’ list needs a makeover. I don’t know why I have such a hard time finding girls’ names I love! I love so many boys’ names that it’s hard to narrow them down to a Top 7, or even Top 10, but it’s hard to bring the girls’ list up to 7!
I want to keep my top 3:
[name]Una[/name] [name]Marguerite[/name] (or [name]Margaret[/name], depending on the future surname)
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name]
[name]Jessamyn[/name] [name]Agnes[/name]
I want to replace:
[name]Mairi[/name] [name]Susanna[/name] [name]Jean[/name] (I like it, but I don’t think [name]Mairi[/name] is very usable here)
[name]Evangeline[/name] [name]Clara[/name] [name]Joy[/name]
[name]Tansy[/name] [name]Araminta[/name]
Sylvestra [name]Kate[/name]
I want to keep [name]Evangeline[/name], but I really need to choose a different middle name or names. I love [name]Evangeline[/name] [name]Clara[/name] [name]Joy[/name], but I got the “[name]Clara[/name] [name]Joy[/name]” from a friend whose daughter’s name it is, so I wouldn’t feel right really using it. I may keep Sylvestra, too. And for a while I had [name]Araminta[/name] on the list as a first name.
Other combos I’m thinking of adding:
[name]Polly[/name] [name]Susanna[/name] (I’m really liking this at the moment)
[name]Lilias[/name] [name]Eve[/name] (very pretty, but is it usable? [name]Eve[/name] is my mom’s middle name, so this would honor her)
Other girls’ names I like:
[name]Adelaide[/name]
[name]Christiana[/name]
[name]Carolina[/name]
[name]Eden[/name] (I fell in love with this name a few years ago, but I’ve never felt the same way about it since I met a darling little boy named [name]Eden[/name]–I first saw him as an infant, and he’s now the most adorable 3-year-old…)
[name]Havilah[/name]
[name]Ithaca[/name]
[name]Marianne[/name]
[name]How[/name] would you define my style? Are there lists you would suggest I scan for ideas? And I would appreciate suggestions for a middle name or names for [name]Evangeline[/name], and for three more replacement combos. Thank you ever so much!
