[name]Phoebe[/name]! I also like [name]Luna[/name] from the others, and [name]Hadley[/name] is cute. [name]Violet[/name] is oh so boring, but it’s perfectly fine.
I am extremely fond of [name]Ivy[/name], [name]Tabitha[/name], [name]Penelope[/name], and [name]Phoebe[/name]. They are just beautiful, and I think they suit both a young girl and a grown woman well.
In my opinion, [name]Lilac[/name] and [name]Indigo[/name] would not age well. I like [name]Thea[/name] very much but prefer it as a nickname for [name]Theodora[/name]. [name]Cecily[/name] is lovely, I just prefer the others I listed more. [name]Aria[/name] and many of the “elle” and “ella” names are for some reason names that don’t do it for me. I think [name]Arabella[/name] and [name]Isabella[/name] would be the two exceptions.
I think it’s between [name]Cecily[/name], [name]Luna[/name], and [name]Tabitha[/name] for me. I love these three so much.
Other comments:
[name]Indigo[/name]: This is the only name from your list that I do not particularly like. I’ve never come around to it for some reason and it just feels too masculine for me.
[name]Lilac[/name]: I really like this name but have a difficult time actually picturing someone named [name]Lilac[/name].
[name]Hadley[/name]: This is also one of the few surname names I like on a female.
[name]Thea[/name]: This name has really been growing on me and ranks only slightly below [name]Luna[/name], [name]Cecily[/name], and [name]Tabitha[/name] for me.
[name]Penelope[/name] & [name]Phoebe[/name]: I really, really like these names. My cat is named [name]Penelope[/name]. However, they just seem to be everywhere right now.
[name]Ivy[/name] & [name]Aria[/name]: Beautiful, but I never got into them. I feel as though they’ll have a spike in popularity and become more dated as time goes by, but I could be very wrong.
[name]Mirabelle[/name]: I really like this for a middle name. The fact that it can easily be translated into ‘looks pretty’ turns me off of using it as a fn.
[name]Rosalia[/name]: [name]How[/name] will you pronounce this? [name]Rose[/name]-[name]AH[/name]-lee-ah or [name]Rosa[/name]-[name]LEE[/name]-ah? I’ve only ever known Hispanic women with this name, so it has a very specific image in my mind. It’s absolutely gorgeous!
This is really silly, but I wanted to add that both [name]Tabitha[/name] and [name]Cecily[/name] are characters from the [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Potter[/name] books, so keep this in mind if you are ever thinking about using these two names together. [name]Tabitha[/name] Twitchett was always one of my favorite characters!
For me it’s between [name]Tabitha[/name] and [name]Phoebe[/name]. [name]Tabitha[/name] is so so fun and whimsical but still quite respectable. [name]Phoebe[/name] is a powerful name, yet sweet at the same time, and I love the spelling. Nice mythological associations too…
[name]Aria[/name]- This name seems to be quite popular lately, but it’s just not my style. I think of a hotel.
[name]Cecily[/name]- This name is really great!
[name]Indigo[/name]- I personally am not a fan of this name, it’s pretty I just wouldn’t name my child this
[name]Ivy[/name]-I love the name [name]Ivy[/name]!
[name]Lilac[/name]-Definitely not my favorite
[name]Mirabelle[/name]-This is a really awesome pick!
[name]Penelope[/name]- I absolutely love the name [name]Penelope[/name], it is getting really popular it seems, but is still adorable
[name]Phoebe[/name]-This name is really adorable and will grow well with a little girl, I can see [name]Phoebe[/name] as a little girl, teenager, adult, etc.
[name]Tabitha[/name]-This is okay
[name]Thea[/name]-Not so much for me
I voted [name]Tabitha[/name]. I was almost going to vote for [name]Ivy[/name], though.
[name]Aria[/name]- i like this name, especially if pronounced with a short ‘a’ up front. At first I said it more like ‘area’ which obviously isn’t as pretty.
[name]Cecily[/name]- another lovely choice and will age well
[name]Indigo[/name]- it’s on my long list for a boy. I can see it on a girl, but for some reason I think it ages better on a boy/man (but i still don’t know how well it would age even on a boy in my opinion, which is why it hasn’t made my short list yet)
[name]Ivy[/name]-I love the name [name]Ivy[/name]! I think it’s very nice, you get a nature name without being too out there, and it’s similar to the [name]Ava[/name]/[name]Eva[/name] popularity while still standing on its own. This was my second choice
[name]Lilac[/name]- better than [name]Indigo[/name] on a girl, and an adult woman could shorten it to lila if she felt the full name was more child like
[name]Mirabelle[/name]-This one really threw me around! At first thought I really liked it… I love the sound, flow and think it’s really pretty on a young girl. But then I tried to picture it on a, oh, forty year old woman and it just doesn’t do it for me like it does on a toddler. For that matter, i feel the same way about [name]Annabelle[/name] and some of the other -elle names.
[name]Penelope[/name]- I absolutely love the name [name]Penelope[/name], and don’t think it’s too popular that you’ll find other girls often with the same name. [name]Pippi[/name], penny, nellie, [name]Pen[/name], [name]Poppy[/name], polly, so many nn options! This and [name]Ivy[/name] were probably tied in second place.
[name]Phoebe[/name]-This name is really adorable and will grow well with a little gir(agree with the previous poster that said that!) I know a [name]Phoebe[/name] in her late twenties and thought her name was different enough (in high school) to be interesting, but still refined, dignified and not overly cutesy. [name]Phoebe[/name] got my vote.
[name]Tabitha[/name]-This is OK, I think it’d be a nice choice for someone with a very common last name to spice it up. For some reason I cannot help but immediately shorten it to tabby. I like it… but not crazy about it. I think I’d rather use [name]Tatiana[/name].
[name]Thea[/name]- like a previous poster said, i prefer it as a nn for [name]Theodora[/name], not wild about it on its own.
[name]Ivy[/name] is my favourite. I have a huge weakness for nature names and I love all names short and sweet.
I voted [name]Phoebe[/name], but I also love [name]Penelope[/name], [name]Tabitha[/name], [name]Cecily[/name], [name]Mirabelle[/name] and [name]Thea[/name].
