[name_m]Feel[/name_m] free to comment the ones you like the most. Which vibe do these names give you?
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f] / [name_f]Hermine[/name_f] (German pronounciation)
[name_f]Agnieszka[/name_f] (I talked about it the last time)
[name_f]Emilie[/name_f]
[name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliette[/name_f]
Emelin(e)
[name_f]Margaux[/name_f]
[name_u]Cataleya[/name_u] (I am starting to appreciate it!)
[name_f]Johanna[/name_f]
[name_u]Louise[/name_u]
[name_f]Cressida[/name_f]
[name_f]Tess[/name_f]
[name_f]Leni[/name_f]
[name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] (I am starting to like this)
[name_f]Klaudia[/name_f] / [name_f]Claudia[/name_f]
Azelma
[name_f]Eponine[/name_f]
[name_f]Mathilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Ofelia[/name_f]
No no, I am not [name_m]German[/name_m], but I just prefer [name_f]Mathilda[/name_f] based on how it looks (even if [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] would be the mainstream form in my native language / in my country compared to Mathilda).
I pronounce [name_f]Leni[/name_f] as LEH-nee.
I don’t like [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], and in my language it would be [name_f]Ofelia[/name_f]. I pronounce [name_f]English[/name_f] [name_f]Ofelia[/name_f] differently from [name_f]Ofelia[/name_f] (o-FEEL-yə VS o-FEH-lya)
Azelma is a name from Lés Miserables, a book of [name_m]Victor[/name_m] [name_m]Hugo[/name_m].
What long form would you use for [name_f]Tess[/name_f]?
Not really a fan of double Ms (Rimma would be an exception), so I prefer Emelin or [name_f]Emeline[/name_f].
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites and the vibes I get ~
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f] - very green and plant-like. I imagine a [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] in a greenhouse, tending her herbs, planting in the garden.
[name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] - lace, wholesome sweetness, green imagery again.
[name_f]Margaux[/name_f] - sophisticated, brown and earthy imagery.
[name_f]Tess[/name_f] - more green! Floral dresses, a fun loving, spirited, sporty person.
[name_f]Leni[/name_f] - [name_u]Blue[/name_u] tones and a little yellow.
[name_f]Claudia[/name_f] - white cloudy imagery from the cloud pronunciation of the first syllable. Out of interest, is this how you say it? Sweet, fun and creative.
[name_u]Light[/name_u] and pastel colours.
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f]: [name_u]Love[/name_u]! Bookish, bold, and strong! [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] tones of burnt red-orange and brown. [name_f]Agnieszka[/name_f]: [name_u]Love[/name_u] again, so much omg. Breathtaking and eye-catching! She feels very wintery and soft. [name_f]Emilie[/name_f]: [name_f]Pretty[/name_f] neutral on this one. I like it, but it’s not one that’s ever stood out to me. I just prefer [name_f]Emily[/name_f]. [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]: Same as above. Very sleek and elegant, and that I enjoy, but not one I’ve considered. [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]: [name_f]Pretty[/name_f] and love the [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m] connection (even if the character was rather tragic.) [name_u]Bright[/name_u] raspberry pink and silky! [name_f]Emeline[/name_f]: Interesting, I might like this more then [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]! I think it’s chic and has a pretty lilting sound to it! Very cloudy and light blue. [name_f]Margaux[/name_f]: Spunky and cool, who doesn’t like [name_f]Margaux[/name_f]! I like all the spellings, but probably the simple [name_f]Margot[/name_f] the best. [name_u]Cataleya[/name_u]: I think this is a very cool name, but it doesn’t really strike a chord with me. [name_f]Johanna[/name_f]: [name_u]Love[/name_u]! Bold and fun! I picture a [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] to have a loud, loving, slightly dramatic personality. A very opera name. [name_u]Louise[/name_u]: [name_f]My[/name_f] name, so I’m a little biased in my opinion. [name_u]Louise[/name_u] is sweet, literary, slightly stubborn, and pale yellow. [name_u]Love[/name_u] it! [name_f]Cressida[/name_f]: [name_u]Bright[/name_u] orange pumpkin vibes. Like it, actually. It has a starry, unique feel to it. [name_f]Tess[/name_f]: I have nothing against it, but it’s never been a favourite for some reason. Feels sporty, quirky, and fun. [name_f]Leni[/name_f]: For some reason it looks a bit incomplete, and I don’t really like the sound. However, [name_f]Leni[/name_f] feels very warm and friendly. [name_f]Kinda[/name_f] cute but nms. [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f]: [name_u]Love[/name_u]! I think I like it better then Ginerva! Has a wintery, cozy yet sparky vibe, like a warm crackling fire on a cold night!
Klaudia/Claudia: I much prefer the spelling [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] as I don’t really like the look of the letter K for some reason. I love [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] though! It makes me think of [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] from the Babysitter’s Club, and it perfectly dated in an adorable way. With the Spanish pron. she feels energetic and outgoing-the soul of a party! Azelma: This is new to me! I’m not sure I like the sound, but I’d love to see it used! Reminds me a bit of [name_f]Azula[/name_f] which you also might like? [name_f]Eponine[/name_f]: I actually think this is adorable, except for some reason it is reminding me of a medication or something like that. [name_f]Mathilda[/name_f]: Oh, so glad to see that lovely H in this beautiful name! [name_u]Strong[/name_u], literary, valiant, and a lovely faded red like an old book spine. [name_f]Ofelia[/name_f]: [name_f]Lovely[/name_f]. [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] i like too, but it gives more delicate, whimsical vibes. [name_f]Ofelia[/name_f] feel bright and international!
hermione / hermine: i love this!! i prefer the look of hermione to hermine though but it’s definitely giving strong academia vibes (even without the harry potter association) agnieszka: this is great! it’s definitely a mouthful haha but i am starting to appreciate it, and it definitely seems very witchy and dark which i LOVE emilie: pretty good, i prefer amélie though anneliese: i love anneliese! it’s very pretty and i love the vibes juliette: i really like juliette and all of its similar names! emelin / emeline: honestly never been a huge fan of the whole em- family, i like these tho! margaux: one of my fav alternatives to margot! i love its romanticism too cataleya: it’s ok, catalina is definitely more my style tho but i think it goes really well with yours! johanna: LOVE! i love the simple but beautiful energy louise: i like this, though i prefer louisa (but only a little bit more), and it’s giving cottagecore! cressida: honestly never been a fan of names like this, i like cassia better tess: i love this as a nn! full name thérese, theodosia, or temperance? leni: also a great nn, i like the full names helena, adeline, and gwendolen ginevra: like this, though for some reason the harry potter associations are stronger with this one than hermione klaudia / claudia: i LOVE claudia! never been a fan of klaudia though, but it’s definitely giving dainty and sweet vibes azelma: oooh never heard of this but i rly love it! it feels common enough without actually being common eponine: ehh, not really my style (never liked -ine names) mathilda: i love this variation on matilda! it’s definitely very natural but academic, it’s giving ALL the vibes
aaaand ofelia: welllll, i might be a little biased since this is in my uc… but i love ofelia so much more than ophelia! it feels regal and elegant without the popularity of ophelia (plus i love the f so much better than the ph)
all very pretty names! claudia stands out!
[name_f]May[/name_f] I ask, how would you pronounce [name_f]Johanna[/name_f]? Like [name_f]Yohanna[/name_f] or Joe-hanna?
i pronounce emilie and amélie differently! i don’t really think of harry potter with ginevra because it is a very popular name in my country (fourth in all the country this year)!
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f]
[name_f]Agnieszka[/name_f]
[name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]

[name_f]Margaux[/name_f]
[name_u]Louise[/name_u]
[name_f]Cressida[/name_f]
and [name_f]Mathilda[/name_f]
are my personal faves! A nice mix of literary, warm classics (with extra French!), and intriguing European gems. A little trove of wonders.
