Alia 6/10 I like it, but prefer [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] personally.
[name_f]Apolline[/name_f] 8/10 Very nice.
[name_u]Augustine[/name_u] 7/10 I prefer [name_f]Augustina[/name_f] a tiny bit more, but like this too.
[name_f]Bella[/name_f] 4/10 [name_u]Twilight[/name_u] ruined it for me unfortunately.
[name_f]Bianca[/name_f] 10/10 I love this name! [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite on your list.
[name_u]Briar[/name_u] 8/10 Pretty.
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] 7/10 Itās okay, but Iāve been hearing it too much lately.
[name_u]Elia[/name_u] 6/10 I love [name_m]Elio[/name_m] for a boy, but for some reason, I donāt like this as much.
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] 6/10 Itās okay.
[name_f]Laila[/name_f] - 8/10 [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] sound, not sure I like this spelling.
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] - 9/10 Gorgeous.
[name_f]Leila[/name_f] - 8/10 I would pronounce this as [name_m]Lay[/name_m]-luh, so Iād prefer [name_f]Leela[/name_f] for your pron.
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] 3/10 Not my favorite. The ānorā sound isnāt appealing to me.
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] 4/10 I far prefer [name_f]Ophira[/name_f]. [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] is just such a tragic figure.
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] 7/10 Cute.
The [name_f]Leila[/name_f] I know pronounces it ā[name_u]Lee[/name_u]-laā and the [name_f]Lila[/name_f] I know pronounces it āLie-laā. I guess itās where Iām from. This is how I like them best.
Alia 7/10 (Not sure exactly how this is pronounced, Iām saying it like [name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f], but not sure)
[name_f]Apolline[/name_f] 8/10 (I like it, not my personal style however)
[name_u]Augustine[/name_u] 9/10 (Very pretty, and underused imo)
[name_f]Bella[/name_f] 5/10 (I like it as a nickname for [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f], but on itās own not much)
[name_f]Bianca[/name_f] 7/10 (Again, not my personal style, but pretty and sweet)
[name_u]Briar[/name_u] 6/10 (A NB favorite from what Iāve seen, and I associate it with Sleeping Beauty)
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] 9/10 (I like this name, very gender neutral imo)
[name_u]Elia[/name_u] 6/10 (Okay sounding, reminds of the masculine name [name_m]Elio[/name_m])
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] 10/10 (I love [name_f]Iris[/name_f], one of my favorite floral names)
[name_f]Laila[/name_f] 5/10 (Meh, not a fan)
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] 8/10 (I love this name)
[name_f]Leila[/name_f] 5/10 (Same reason as [name_f]Laila[/name_f], I feel like pronunciation would probably be an issue)
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] 8/10 (I like [name_f]Nora[/name_f], just a little too short for me. I prefer it as a nn for [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f])
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] 9/10 (Super cute, probably wouldnāt use it though)
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] 10/10 (I love [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], donāt really see it used much)
Yes! Thatās how Iām saying it. I donāt like [name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f] because it looks too clunky. [name_f]Alia[/name_f] or [name_f]Aliya[/name_f] are sleeker looking to me.
I think the [name_f]Aliya[/name_f] spelling would be the best if you want it to be pronounced like [name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f], and yes I agree the double A and added H seem to make the name look bad if that makes sense lol.
[name_f]Alia[/name_f]- 4/10 (I hope thatās not too harsh sorry), this oneās just not for me, assuming itās pronounced the same as [name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f]? Still sweet though!
[name_f]Apolline[/name_f]- 10/10 I loooove this name so much, itās on my list too! Super pretty, love the length.
[name_u]Augustine[/name_u]- 7/10 I personally prefer this one on a boy but itās great either way! Again, I love longer names so this one checks that box for me too : )
[name_f]Bella[/name_f]- 5/10 not for me but I see the appeal! Works with so many combos, I think itās nice.
[name_f]Bianca[/name_f]- 2/10 (sorryyyy) this name has always sounded too harsh to me. But if itās worth anything, the [name_f]Bianca[/name_f] I know is super sweet so I do have a positive association with it!
[name_u]Briar[/name_u]- 2/10 something about how heavy it is on the r sound just makes me dislike it.
[name_u]Eden[/name_u]- 8/10 I really like this one, also on my list! I think itās really nice.
[name_u]Elia[/name_u]- 4/10 if itās pronounced like [name_f]Alia[/name_f] / [name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f], but 6/10 if itās pronounced like [name_f]Elle[/name_f]-ia! Sorry not sure abt the pronunciation but I do like the look of it and if itās pronounced the latter way, I think it sounds pretty too.
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]- 7/10 def flower name that I like! I like the sound and also how itās a little less common than other floral names but is still familiar. Makes it very refreshing.
[name_f]Laila[/name_f]- 7/10 this name is super bright and fun!
[name_f]Lila[/name_f]- 8/10 Loveee this one, I prefer the [name_f]Lilah[/name_f] spelling personally but either way, I think itās def my fav out of the [name_f]Laila[/name_f]/Lila/Leila group.
[name_f]Leila[/name_f]- 5/10 this one is nice but the pronunciation of it just isnāt my favorite, but thatās possibly because itās just a pronunciation thatās diff from what Iām familiar with!
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]- 7/10 really sweet, I like how this name could totally work in lots of combos too.
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]- 10/10 LOVE [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] too, the [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m] association doesnāt bother me personally. I think itās really beautiful : )
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]- 4/10 not for me, I just prefer other gem names, specifically [name_f]Opal[/name_f]. Like it for u tho!
Alia / [name_f]Aliya[/name_f] - 6/10. this name is nice, it just isnāt my personal favorite. every time I hear this name I just think of the singer (spelt differently of course), which isnāt a bad association just such a strong one. Itās like [name_f]Cher[/name_f], lovely but one very strong association. Iām sure Iām in the minority with that though! I do like these spellings of it though, they look very pretty.
[name_f]Apolline[/name_f] - 9/10. [name_f]Apolline[/name_f] is stunning. So strong and brave and adventurous. It always reminds me of the Amazons in Wonder Woman (though Iām not sure why )
[name_u]Augustine[/name_u] - 3/10. Iām so sorry, I just only see this as a boys name! I prefer [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] or even [name_u]August[/name_u] on a girl.
[name_f]Bella[/name_f] - 8/10. this is my nieceās middle name, and Iāve always thought it was so pretty! I personally prefer it as a nickname for something else (and as a full name, I strongly prefer [name_f]Belle[/name_f]!)
[name_f]Bianca[/name_f] - 5/10. cute name, and I really like the nickname [name_f]Bee[/name_f]! Iāve just known a bunch so it doesnāt feel as special to me.
[name_u]Briar[/name_u] - 10/10. absolutely gorgeous name. I love it on all genders. I love how magical it is, and the nature connection is great too!
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] - 8.5/10. very pretty name, I like the sound of it and love nickname [name_f]Edie[/name_f]! I just personally prefer it on a boy!!
[name_u]Elia[/name_u] - 9/10. I love [name_u]Elia[/name_u] so much! Itās so gorgeous, soft, and sweet. I first heard it in Game of Thrones, and instantly fell in love. I think it makes an unexpected choice among other ā[name_f]El[/name_f]-ā names.
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] - 9/10. beautiful and soft, yet still has some strength. love the nature connection too!
[name_f]Laila[/name_f] - 10/10. this has been one of my favorite names for so many years (I personally prefer the [name_f]Layla[/name_f] spelling, but this one is lovely too)!! I think itās such a beautiful, warm, sweet, underappreciated name.
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] - 8/10. pretty, soft name. I really love it, just slightly prefer [name_f]Laila[/name_f]!
[name_f]Leila[/name_f] - 8.5/10. I love [name_f]Leila[/name_f], but I do worry about pronuncation issues because Iāve only heard this pronounced [name_f]Layla[/name_f] personally! [name_f]Leela[/name_f] is my preferred spelling for that reason, though I do think [name_f]Leila[/name_f] looks prettier!
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] - 9.5/10. [name_f]Nora[/name_f] makes me smile, itās such a sweet name. I personally prefer it as a nickname, but itās lovely on its own too!
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] - 9.5/10. gorgeous and unexpected! I love how soft, but strong it sounds.
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] - 10/10. this is my most favorite name in the world. Absolutely everything about it is perfect to me
I found it the same way! [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Elle[/name_f], and [name_f]Ella[/name_f] always sound a tad incomplete to me. I think [name_u]Elia[/name_u] has a stronger energy behind it.
I love that thatās how you found it too, youāre the first person Iāve seen who knew it from the show (or books)! I completely agree about it being a strong name. It definitely fits into that soft, yet still really strong sweet spot!
[name_f]Alia[/name_f] / [name_f]Aliya[/name_f] - 5/10 A great name, and I love the sound, just nms though.
[name_f]Apolline[/name_f] - 10/10 This one is just music to my ears, it reminds me of apples, so I canāt help associating this name with just pure sweetness. ([name_m]Apollo[/name_m] is one of my fave boy names as well)
[name_u]Augustine[/name_u] - 10/10 [name_f]My[/name_f] grandfatherās name is [name_m]Agustin[/name_m], but it sounds almost the same in Spanish. I guess thatās why I never even thought about [name_u]Augustine[/name_u] on a girl, but itās been growing on me! I think itās such a darling name and it brings lovely imagery to mind.
[name_f]Bella[/name_f] - 7/10 A beauty, lol. But just a tad bit overused/too heard of, at least in my lifetime. Other than that, I do love the sound!
[name_f]Bianca[/name_f] - 10/10 [name_m]Even[/name_m] though this name isnāt on my own list, Iām in love with it, and adore all the sounds. I just love how the āCā grounds the rest, but it still sounds so light and bright.
[name_u]Briar[/name_u] - 7/10 While this one isnāt necessarily my style, I like this name enough that I want to hear it more often! Itās fun for either a mn or fn.
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] - 4/10 Iām just not a fan of the similarity sound to āeat-inā with this one.
[name_u]Elia[/name_u] - 8/10 I forgot about this name! But itās a gem, and overall lovely
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] - 2/10 Ahh this use to be a name I loved a couple of years back, but now I find it a bit harsh-sounding
[name_f]Laila[/name_f] - 8/10 These next three names are just very musical, soft, & pretty sounding to me!
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] - 9/10
[name_f]Leila[/name_f] - 9/10
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] - 7/10 This is one of those vintage names that sounds versatile and could fit all types of personalities. Itās fun to say too!
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] - 8/10 I do love this name! [name_m]Even[/name_m] after seeing around NB the comparison to what it sounds like, I still think it has a lovely sound and just rolls off the tongue.
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] - I would hate to rate my own name for you, but letās just say I love my name lol, and Iām glad I never met any [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]'s during my days at school . It might be my favorite stone name as well. I would be happy to one day come across more baby [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]'s!
Hi I just want to start off by saying you have such a lovely naming style, I adore so many of these!
Alia - So simple and sweet, I really love the simplistic uncomplicated spelling of it, I feel it helps in modernizing it! Itās not my personal style but I cannot deny it is such a sweet and pretty name. I really like this one.
Apolline - Aw this one always feels like a breath of fresh air whenever I hear it. Itās so sweet, a little vintage, a little exotic but still familiar and warm. I really love this one for a more unique choice! Beautiful name
Augustine - One of my favourites! It always seems Augustine gets pushed behind Augusta and newly loved August! I find it to be the absolute sweetest and I wish more people appreciated it. I so love this one, I could go on and on!
Bella - This is just beautiful! So classic, timeless and just stunning! I feel itās a name that was widely popular and has since lost that appreciation but as Iāve already said, itās a timeless name with timeless beauty. A sweet and simple choice that radiates elegance!
Bianca - Bianca has never been one of my favourites, Iām not sure why, it might be the harsher C sound but nonetheless it is pretty and I can see why so many love it! Not my style but sweet!
Briar - Oh my gosh I love this one! I have always found this name so simple yet intriguing. Itās the perfect name to dress up or down and I love how classic yet modern and trendy it feels. I so love this and would love to meet a little Briar one day. My heart is melting!
Eden - Another favourite of mine, Iāve always preferred it as a middle but I love it just as much for a first. Itās strong, sweet and soft all at once. I think paired with an ultra feminine or floral name it would make the prettiest pairing. I absolutely love this one.
Elia - What a sweet name, I hadnāt heard of this until now but I love! I adore how it feels perfect for a girl while still having a bit of that masculine edge I personally love in a girlās name. I also love how unique it sounds compared to itās more popular variations such as Alia! A sweet and unexpected one!
Iris - I so love Iris! Itās one of my absolute favourites, I feel itās perfectly vintage and trendy at the same time. Itās warm, calm and cool all at once. I am not sure what else to say other than I adore this name with all of my heart! Itās a name that just radiates golden sunshine, light, rainbows and all things sweet. Iris is stunning!
Laila - I can see why so many love this, itās a cool, calm and collected name! Itās sweet and I love the way youāve spelt it however, itās just not my personal style! I also feel it can at times feel very blah with the similar sounds of ay and ah, I am so sorry itās just my personal opinion!
Lila - I like this one a lot! Itās simple, sweet and a lot less common than Laila! Itās such a sweet choice! I really love this one, not my usual style again, but a classic choice I feel you canāt go wrong with!
Leila - I am not a fan of this at all, I apologize! Once again, I can see why so many love it, itās just not my style. I must say, I love the way youāve spelt it, so pretty!
Nora - Finally some love for Nora! I absolutely adore this name, I feel itās perfectly old timey and vintage. Itās a classic name that I personally feel everyone neglects but a little Nora would just melt my heart! Itās beyond sweet and stunning! I love love love Nora and I am so happy to see it on your list!
Ophelia - Aw I love this one. I once contemplated putting it on my list but for whatever reason decided not to, I think it just got a little too popular for my liking at the time but hey thereās nothing wrong with that, it just means itās loved all that much more by everyone! I absolutely love the free and wild like feel this name has, itās an open desert road with beautiful wildflowers and wavering waters personified. I so love this!
Ruby - Every time I hear this name I just go āawā in my head. I adore the name Ruby, itās sweet and I feel quite under rated for what a beautiful name it is! I feel itās a name you can dress up or down and truly make your own! Ruby is such a pretty, whimsical and solid style. I really like it!
I hope I could help and lend some insight! If youāre ever wanting a second opinion, I have a post dedicated to that exactly! Please feel free to comment or even message me whenever! I love helping out! I really hope I could help, you have such a beautiful list!
I like that thereās not such a strong emphasis on the ā[name_u]Gus[/name_u]ā. First I like [name_f]Augusta[/name_f], but then I heard someone on here make a joke about how strong the ā[name_u]Gus[/name_u]ā is and now I canāt unheard it. I think [name_u]Augustine[/name_u] puts the emphasis back on the āAugā. And itās softer than [name_f]Augustina[/name_f].
Alia: This is very pretty, and it reminds me of the lovely [name_f]Indian[/name_f] actress [name_f]Alia[/name_f] Bhatt (search her up). I slightly prefer the [name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f] spelling though. 9/10
[name_f]Apolline[/name_f]: Absolutely stunning, and perfect for a story character. I love its connection to [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] (my favourite Greek god), and its pretty sound. 10/10
[name_u]Augustine[/name_u]: Iām not very fond of it sorry! It just reads as an old lady name to me, although such names are in vogue at the moment (this is coming from someone who ADORES [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - an old lady name - so take my opinion as a grain of salt) 4/10
[name_f]Bella[/name_f]: Another name that Iām not fond of, because its a bit too sickly sweet for my tastes. What about [name_f]Belle[/name_f]? It means beauty, and your girl will have the wonderful princess to look up to. 4/10
[name_f]Bianca[/name_f]: I think that that the - ca part is a bit too harsh for me. I also had an old sort of bratty classmate with the name, so yeahā¦nms, but I can see the appeal. 5/10
[name_u]Briar[/name_u]: I love this name! When I hear it, I imagine a very clever little girl. Sarcastic, but kind hearted, who goes on hikes with books nestled protectivley in her arms. 9/10
[name_u]Eden[/name_u]: Not a fan sorry. No particular reason, just not my style at all. 3/10.
[name_u]Elia[/name_u]: Ooh I love this one! Such a pretty twist on the mega popular el - names! I love it! 10/10
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]: Another one that I LOVE! So, so gorgeous! I also love that its the name of the Greek goddess of rainbows. I just think that its so sweet 10/10
[name_f]Laila[/name_f]: Not a fan. [name_m]Just[/name_m] nms 4/10
[name_f]Lila[/name_f]: Iām neutral on this one. Itās pretty, but I think that it lacks substance. I prefer [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] 5/10
[name_f]Leila[/name_f]: Same as with [name_f]Laila[/name_f] 4/10
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]: I like this, but as a nn for [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], not really as a standalone. 7/10.
