Some Different Names

Girl Names

There are several “names” I like, quotation marks because some would consider them only words.

Not naming my child, just loving words and names. Comments welcome.

Giverny
Chalcedony
Veranda
[name_u]Julep[/name_u]
Prussia
[name_u]Thistle[/name_u]
Catalpa
Nandina
Tissot
[name_f]Taffeta[/name_f]

I’ve always liked the sound of [name_u]Julep[/name_u]! It feels so sweet and energetic, and like a fun twist on [name_f]Juliet[/name_f].

The others are less my style but I can easily see [name_u]Thistle[/name_u], Veranda, and [name_f]Taffeta[/name_f] as names!

Julep is zesty! I would use it as a nn for [name_f]Julia[/name_f] or [name_u]Julie[/name_u] or something like that.

Also, I can imagine a [name_f]Vera[/name_f] being nn’d by me, Veranda. Only at home though. :slight_smile:

I’m liking [name_u]Julep[/name_u] too! It feels springy (I don’t know how to describe what I mean but I hope you know :joy:). I have [name_u]Jules[/name_u] on my own list.

[name_u]Thistle[/name_u] has a very pleasing sound too. It’s a spiky plant but I actually quite like the unique imagery and the Scottish vibes.

Others I can appreciate are Veranda and Chalcedony - the latter reminds me a bit of [name_u]Chauncey[/name_u]. It sounds very elegant.

I really like [name_u]Thistle[/name_u] & [name_u]Julep[/name_u]. I’m from the “home of the mint julep” but I could honestly see it on a boy or a girl (reminds me of TKAM’s [name_u]Jem[/name_u]).
Veranda, Nandina, and Tissot are also plausible names. The sounds of [name_f]Taffeta[/name_f] are nice but actual taffeta has ruined it for me with ruched sweet 16 ballgowns.

Yes, springy! :slight_smile:

Thistle is a great cat name, a Scots’ cat.

Chalcedony is some kind of cool rock.

Ah, I’ve never worn taffeta, but It makes sense that someone from the home of the mint julep has! :slight_smile:

That should be the text on the license plates there (wait, is it?)

I just looked up chalcedony - gorgeous stone!

It is fun to say Giverny!

I like [name_u]Thistle[/name_u]! Akin to [name_m]Bramble[/name_m] which I love.

Oh [name_m]Bramble[/name_m] is magnificent! I’d love to have a son named [name_m]Bramwell[/name_m] and secretly call him my brambly hedge when he’s a baby. :slight_smile:

I hadn’t thought of [name_f]Ginnie[/name_f] with Giverny! [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Ginnie[/name_f] too.

I’ve always loved [name_u]Thistle[/name_u] and wish I could get away with using it!

My favorites would be [name_f]Taffeta[/name_f], [name_u]Julep[/name_u], Catalpa, Nandina and Giverny! I think that Catalpa, Nandina, Giverny and Chalcedony are usable because they could count as gem, plant and place names! I also like the nickname [name_f]Nina[/name_f] for Nandina and [name_u]Taffy[/name_u] for [name_f]Taffeta[/name_f].
