I’m using the word finalist very losely, because who knows what will happen between now and then, but there are the three finalists from my separate polls yesterday.
I promise I’ll stop posting the same names for a while! I don’t mean to bore you. I’ll just keep consulting if new names come (and I’m sure that they will).
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. It’s not only helpful and gives me a sense of direction, but it’s also a joy to read you .
Ugh! I’m very sorry that I keep botching these polls. Once again I forgot to fill the area to determine how many votes a person can submit. It’s not hard and yet…once again I left it empty. Regardless, thank you for however many votes you can give us. .
I voted for my top three, but these are all pretty names
Wren [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f]: it’s a bit of a Nameberry cliche, but I’m an unrepentant lover of [name_u]Wren[/name_u] It’s so sweet and whimsical, but has a solid, earthy vibe too. Cute and cool.
Zoya [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f]: [name_u]Love[/name_u] the flow of this, and [name_f]Zoya[/name_f] is a great choice with a fun sound and fabulous meaning.
Briar [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f]: Similar vibes to [name_u]Wren[/name_u] — it’s cool and quirky and bohemian, but also tailored enough to feel substantial as a name and wearable for a lifetime.
My favorites are [name_f]Nola[/name_f] [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] (so pretty and graceful) and [name_u]Wren[/name_u] [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] (bright and natural).
