My daughter will be born in two weeks and i am completely lost in my name search, cannot make sense of my list any more, hence hoping for your fresh super-brains!
She will definitely get the name [name_f]Johanna[/name_f], from her late Norwegian grandmother.
I think it is a beautiful name, very warm and clear, but also a bit “conservative” and also where my family is from it has been a steady top 10 or 20 name over decades and even centuries, so is the opposite of unique.
That is why in case her personality turns out more “special” (which would not be a surprise, looking at my family), I would like to give her a 2nd name (in whatever oder) which is more quirky, unusual, rare, can be spunky, nerdy or oldfashioned. I was thinking this one should be short, so maybe even a nickname, but that is not a must, I am open for everything.
I would definitely use [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] as a mn.I like [name_f]Posey[/name_f],Bryliegh,[name_f]Calliope[/name_f] as quirky firsts.Not so quirky but sharp sounding [name_f]Claire[/name_f].
I love [name_f]Johanna[/name_f]. It’s a family name for me, too. I second [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Johanna[/name_f]/ [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f], and [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f]. I also like [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] [name_u]Shea[/name_u]/[name_u]Shay[/name_u].
[name_f]Johanna[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] - I know this has been suggested but it’s my favorite!
[name_f]Johanna[/name_f] [name_f]Ines[/name_f]
[name_f]Johanna[/name_f] [name_f]Boheme[/name_f] - [name_f]Boheme[/name_f], rhymes with poem
[name_f]Johanna[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f]
[name_f]Johanna[/name_f] [name_u]Poet[/name_u]
[name_f]Johanna[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
I am totally smitten by so many replies, so much beauty and “quirk”, so many suggestions that jumped out at me and that I love already … now i am hopeful again the little one will have a good name (that she will hopefully come to love as well).
I will go through the list a number of time in the next days and then get back again to you great people, hope that is ok.
