Girl Names

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone!

I made a top 15 a little while ago and I thought I was really happy with it, but recently I’ve been feeling like it’s a bit lacking or just not quite right for me.

So there are 8 names that are definitely staying:

[name_f]Sarai[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Romilly[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f], [name_f]Ilaria[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Piper[/name_u], [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]/[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f]

And that leaves 7 spaces to be filled.

My question is, out of these, which 7 would you choose (you don’t have to pick 7 though if you don’t like 7, just your favourites :))

[name_f]Polly[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Dora[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Mina[/name_f] [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
[name_f]Una[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Jovie[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Luella[/name_f]
[name_f]Juno[/name_f] [name_f]Savannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Juno[/name_f] [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]
Clementine [something else? Alice? Zoe? Bo? Lois? Lola? Not sure)
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Polly[/name_f]’
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Polly[/name_f]’
[name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Indie[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Aoife[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Aoife[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Aoife[/name_f] [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Juno[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [middle to be decided - maybe [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f], [name_f]Astoria[/name_f], [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] or [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], not sure though]
Tallulah Cleo

Thank you or any thoughts and comments!!

Oh, I love your top 8! A lot of these seem perfect stylistically, but my favourites are [name_f]Aoife[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Polly[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f], [name_f]Una[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] (though I’d almost prefer [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] [name_f]Cleo[/name_f]!)

3

@leafgirl44 thank you!! I love [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] too! I wonder if I can get away with [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] as a first name with a cousin with a [name_f]Lu[/name_f]- name though? Still, thank you for the suggestion!!!

4

Oh you definitely could! Lol I’m a [name_u]Haley[/name_u] with a cousin named [name_u]Ashley[/name_u], and my sister has an M name that’s pretty similar in sound to the names of two of my cousins! I think it would work 100%.

5

I love your style! The names in your top 8 are exquisite!

My favorites from the others are:
[name_f]Mina[/name_f] [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
[name_f]Una[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Juno[/name_f] [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] (I had this as my [name_f]Juno[/name_f] combo for awhile!)
[name_f]Indie[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Aoife[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] (I love love love [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f]Astoria[/name_f]! [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] would also be beautiful and I don’t think it’s too much with your cousin’s name)

Fun!

Here are my thoughts:

[name_f]Polly[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]-This is adorable. I like the playful old fashioned feeling of this combo. I don’t mind [name_f]Polly[/name_f] on its own, but also think that it’s sweet as a nn for [name_f]Penelope[/name_f].

[name_f]Dora[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]-I like this combination, but prefer [name_f]Dora[/name_f] as a nn for [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f], or [name_f]Theodora[/name_f]. People are over [name_f]Dora[/name_f] the [name_u]Explorer[/name_u] by now, right? I really dislike [name_f]Dori[/name_f] for some reason. It sounds snobby.

[name_f]Mina[/name_f] [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]-This is cute. I like [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] nn [name_f]Mina[/name_f] better, but this is a pretty combo for sure.

[name_f]Una[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]-Hm. I don’t love [name_f]Una[/name_f]. It just doesn’t sparkle. [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] is lovely, but the combo has too many 'n’s in my opinion.

[name_f]Jovie[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]-Hm, this seems sort of made up. I like [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f].

[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Luella[/name_f]-Ooh, sounds like an old Southern lady. But in a good way! Very fun.

[name_f]Juno[/name_f] [name_f]Savannah[/name_f]-I like [name_f]Juno[/name_f]. I think that it’s better as a nn. [name_f]Savannah[/name_f] seems like it’s from a different world than [name_f]Juno[/name_f].

[name_f]Juno[/name_f] [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]-This is better.

[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]-I love [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]! I don’t care for [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Luella[/name_f] from your list.

[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Polly[/name_f]’-Oh, there you go. This is beautiful.

[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Polly[/name_f]’-Meh, I like [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] way more.

[name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]-Ooh, I like [name_u]Indigo[/name_u]! I love the nn Idgie too. [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] sounds like a cool artist.

[name_f]Indie[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]-Not my favorite, but I’d definitely do it as a nn.

[name_f]Aoife[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]-Pretty. I like it spelled [name_f]Aoibhe[/name_f]. It looks softer.

[name_f]Aoife[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]-Hm. This is good too.

[name_f]Aoife[/name_f] [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]-I may like this one best. It’s just the most interesting mn.

[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Juno[/name_f]-I don’t care for [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]. It seems kind of hipster.

[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]-Hm. Maybe it’s more classic w/this mn.

[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]-Oh, I like [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f]Tallula[/name_f]. What about [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] nn [name_f]Cleo[/name_f]?

My top seven are:

[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Luella[/name_f]

[name_f]Aoife[/name_f] [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]

[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]-even though it has too many long ‘i’ sounds. I adore [name_f]Clementine[/name_f].

[name_f]Polly[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]

[name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]-even though I like [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_f]Tallula[/name_f]!

[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f]Tallula[/name_f]

[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. :slight_smile:

[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Luella[/name_f]
[name_f]Juno[/name_f] [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
[name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Aoife[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Juno[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] (all suggested middles sound great though I’m partial to [name_f]Isadora[/name_f])

I love [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] but I don’t like [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] as a mn with it, otherwise it would’ve made my top seven. Though both are on my list, I definitely prefer [name_f]Juno[/name_f] [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] to [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Juno[/name_f]. I think I’d pick [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Juno[/name_f] over [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f], mainly because I’m in favor of at least somewhat contrasting first and middles to give kids options, and [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] and [name_f]Florence[/name_f] have similar vibes to me, while [name_f]Juno[/name_f] provides a spunky balance.

My top three are: [name_f]Juno[/name_f] [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Luella[/name_f], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] ([name_f]Isadora[/name_f])

[name_f]Mina[/name_f] [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f], [name_f]Indie[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Juno[/name_f], [name_f]Aoife[/name_f] [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] & [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] are my favourites. They’re all lovely. [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] would also be very nice.

[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Dawn[/name_f]

@gabriellenz thank you! That’s a high compliment!!
[name_f]Heidi[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] is sweet and you’re right, [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] is so hard to pair! I feel like that’s why it hasn’t been on my short list yet.
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] is nice and I liking the sounds of [name_u]Ray[/name_u] with [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]! Thanks again

Favorites:
[name_f]Aoife[/name_f] [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] or [name_f]Aoife[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]–I like flow of [name_f]Aoife[/name_f] [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] better but [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] flows great too and is one of my favorites!
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] something else–[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Linnea[/name_f]? [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Mavis[/name_f]? [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] Moraine?
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Polly[/name_f]’
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] TBD–[name_f]Astoria[/name_f] and [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] would be my favorite middles
[name_f]Mina[/name_f] [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]–Normally not a fan of [name_f]Mina[/name_f] but the combo is beautiful!
[name_f]Una[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]–I don’t actually like this combo, but I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Una[/name_f]. [name_f]Una[/name_f] [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]? [name_f]Una[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]?

16

My favourite 7 (in no particular order) from your list are:

[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Luella[/name_f]
[name_f]Polly[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Polly[/name_f]’
[name_f]Juno[/name_f] [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] – I don’t think [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] would be too much with your cousin’s name at all (unless it’s [name_f]Lula[/name_f] haha)
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] – either [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] or [name_f]Alice[/name_f] would be gorgeous!
[name_u]Indigo[/name_u]/[name_f]Indie[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] – I couldn’t choose between the two – maybe [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] nn [name_f]Indie[/name_f]?

17

[name_f]Sarai[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Romilly[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f], [name_f]Ilaria[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Piper[/name_u], [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]/[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f]
7 more from the given list…
So I feel the names need to have a feminine maybe a little vintage and then something unusual and quirky. Names with [name_m]History[/name_m] also.

  1. [name_f]Juno[/name_f] [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] - [name_f]Juno[/name_f] is such a gorgeous name that [name_f]IMO[/name_f] spills history and beauty and [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] is just as sweet but she has strength.
  2. [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] “[name_f]Indie[/name_f]” - I love the unusual feel of [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] next to the feminine and classic feel of [name_f]Florence[/name_f].
  3. [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] - ticks the boxes above, I love [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] for the [name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f] reference sooooo much. But as there USED to be a magazine called this here in Australia it is a MN spot only name for me.
  4. [name_f]Aoife[/name_f] [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] - I love this combo for the feminine chic and unusual feel. I think I would sibset this with [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] & [name_f]Ilaria[/name_f].
  5. [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Luella[/name_f] - She matches the feel of some of your names listed and ticks the boxes of my criteria above.
  6. [name_f]Jovie[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] - [name_f]Jovie[/name_f] is a name I was looking at a few days ago. But haven’t settled on if it fits for me. I love [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] A LOT with [name_f]Jovie[/name_f]!
  7. [name_f]Una[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] - [name_f]Una[/name_f] is so sweet! Not a name I would choose personally but I can appreciate the beauty. [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] is gorgeous.

Runner up - [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] - She just didn’t have the unusual feel as some of your names already listed and the above 7 but she would fit in with your vintage vibe names like [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] & [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] (btw, I love [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] as a MN there! The name combo gives me imagery of sunset over foresty mountains)

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helped <3

I’m so in love with many of the combos on your keep list, especially [name_f]Ilaria[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f], and [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f]. Heart-eyes for days!

I think because I love these combos so much, it’s hard for some of the others to measure up. I love [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f], [name_f]Astoria[/name_f], [name_f]Isadora[/name_f], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], [name_f]Una[/name_f], [name_f]Florence[/name_f], and [name_f]Cleo[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is my favorite combo, though I definitely prefer [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] to [name_f]Polly[/name_f] for a nickname.

I’m going to switch up some of the combos… I hope that’s okay.

I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] with just about anything, although my favorite would be [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f].

I think [name_f]Alice[/name_f] and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] go well together - I would probably do [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] rather than [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f], but it flows well either way!

I think [name_f]Una[/name_f] would pair well with one of the frillier middles - [name_f]Una[/name_f] [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] especially leaps out at me.

As for [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f], I really love it as a first name for you, especially with [name_f]Romilly[/name_f] in the same sibset. [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] would be exquisite!

[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] also feels like a first name that would fit in beautifully with the rest of your keep list. [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], perhaps?

I can’t wait to see your final list!

I would choose [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Aoife[/name_f] [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f], [name_f]Polly[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f], [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Mina[/name_f] [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]. If I can mix and match a bit, what about [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_u]Indigo[/name_u], [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] or [name_f]Indie[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]?
