Second Thoughts on First Name

So my hubby and I are due with a baby girl in [name_f]April[/name_f] and for a while now we (he) have been set on the name [name_f]Terra[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]. I definitely like it, but as time has gone on I’m starting to feel like this baby might be a bit more…fiery for such an earthy name. When I dream of her, there is a lot of solar symbolism and I’m pretty sure she’ll wind up an [name_m]Aries[/name_m] instead of a [name_m]Taurus[/name_m]. With that in mind, I’m considering Solaris or [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] for a first name, but have yet to discuss with my husband. Not sure on middle names, would just like some opinions for starters. Thank you :slight_smile:

I love love [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] —*it’s elegant but quirky, traditional but unusual, and has plenty of nickname options ([name_f]Sera[/name_f], Sephie, [name_u]Finn[/name_u], [name_f]Fina[/name_f]…). Solaris sounds too much like a “brand” in my opinion (and the [name_m]George[/name_m] [name_m]Clooney[/name_m] movie) — Solara looks more like a name.

[name_f]Terra[/name_f] is nice for a [name_m]Taurus[/name_m] baby, but it reminds me too much of [name_f]Tara[/name_f], which is very dated. [name_f]May[/name_f] I suggest [name_f]Gaia[/name_f] instead? Or maybe [name_f]Tauria[/name_f] or [name_f]Taura[/name_f]?

Some “fiery”/[name_m]Aries[/name_m] ideas:
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f]
[name_f]Aria[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariane[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiamma[/name_f] / [name_f]Fiammetta[/name_f] (“flame”)
Pyrrha
Kenina (from Cináed/[name_m]Kenneth[/name_m], “born of fire”)
[name_f]Helia[/name_f] / [name_u]Elia[/name_u] / [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] / Aelia / [name_f]Aeliana[/name_f] (“sun”)
[name_m]Sol[/name_m]
[name_f]Solana[/name_f]
[name_f]Solveig[/name_f]
[name_f]Sunniva[/name_f]
[name_f]Scarlet[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
[name_f]Crimson[/name_f]
[name_f]Marcia[/name_f] / [name_f]Martina[/name_f] / [name_f]Marcella[/name_f] / [name_f]Maris[/name_f] (related to the god [name_m]Mars[/name_m])

Some ideas:

Does [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] flow well enough?

[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is stunning!

[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is truly stunning, but [name_f]Terra[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] is mystical and beautiful, too.
