Spunky & Sparkly

Hey Berries,

I have recently fallen in love with the name [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f]. It’s interesting & spunky, I love it! It’s a bit out there, so I’m thinking it might be more suitable for a middle, but I could be persuaded :wink: ([name_m]Just[/name_m] thinking is might be a bit unfair having (eg) [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], [name_f]Aleka[/name_f] & [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f], if you get what I mean.)

[name_f]Arcadia[/name_f] need something short, spunky & sweet. Short as in four letter max. Nothing too old fashioned (I love old names, but they don’t work with [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f] for me) or too popular.

A few examples that I probably couldn’t use, but I like:

  • [name_u]Tavi[/name_u] [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f] (almost everything is perfect about this, but the connection to [name_u]Tavi[/name_u] Gevinson is probably too strong (I don’t mind the tie though.))
    [name_f]Liv[/name_f] [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f] (flow is off and I can’t use [name_f]Liv[/name_f] due to [name_u]River[/name_u] being my top boys’ name.)
    [name_f]Emi[/name_f] [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f] (I really like the idea of having a vaguely Japanese name with [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f], this is just the wrong one.)

Thank you!

Hmmmm, you’re giving me a challenge here!
