Strong maybes

I really want the first name to be a short, two syllable name. I’ve come across these names and I can’t decide if I love them or not. Any other ideas ?

[name_f]Greta[/name_f]
[name_f]Calla[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f]
[name_f]Lena[/name_f]
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f]
[name_f]Della[/name_f]
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Noa[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f]
[name_f]Reina[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]

[name_f]Marta[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f] - loo-sha instead of [name_f]Lu[/name_f]-chee-ah
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f]Nadia[/name_f]
[name_u]Piper[/name_u]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_u]Sloane[/name_u] - not really 2 syllable, but I think it works
[name_f]Sybil[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] - 3 syllable, but again I think it works
[name_f]Tamzin[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]

By the way, I really love most of the names on your list. Well done!

I like [name_f]Freya[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], and [name_f]Lena[/name_f]

[name_f]Greta[/name_f] - very sweet, but it also still feels quite old-fashioned to me. I wouldn’t be opposed to meeting a little [name_f]Greta[/name_f], though. :slight_smile:
[name_f]Calla[/name_f] - I saw this and just swooned! I didn’t used to care for it, but I’ve really grown to love [name_f]Calla[/name_f] lately. She’s so sweet and naturally beautiful!
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] - love! If I didn’t have a cousin with the name, it’d probably still be on my list.
[name_f]Lena[/name_f] - love this, as well! I’ve been thinking about using [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lena[/name_f], which a bit more of my style.
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f] - sweet, I suppose, but I couldn’t ever get into it. I love the nn [name_f]Bridie[/name_f], though!
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] - sweet and a bit fiery all at once. I’d love to meet a [name_f]Gemma[/name_f]!
[name_f]Della[/name_f] - I like the sound (mainly because I love most [name_f]Ella[/name_f] names!), but I don’t like the look of it. I keep misreading it as [name_u]Dallas[/name_u], or [name_u]Dell[/name_u], which just reminds me of the computer company.
[name_f]Thea[/name_f] - okay, but I never really LOVED it. I like [name_f]Anthea[/name_f] or [name_f]Althea[/name_f] much more.
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Tessa[/name_f], but [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] just [name_f]Tess[/name_f].
[name_f]Noa[/name_f] - I’ve really come to appreciate it, but I wouldn’t use it, most likely, because I love [name_u]Noah[/name_u] so much for a boy.
[name_f]Freya[/name_f] - one name that caught on in [name_m]Britain[/name_m] that I’m glad hasn’t caught on here. I just don’t see the appeal of it at all, and I feel like I’d be annoyed at its popularity if I heard it a lot.
[name_f]Reina[/name_f] - I’m torn here. I watch a show with a bad [name_f]Reina[/name_f] in it, but the little girl I sponsor in [name_u]Peru[/name_u], her mom’s name is [name_f]Reina[/name_f], so that’s a good association for me. I think it has a lovely look and sound, though, and would be happy to meet a little [name_f]Reina[/name_f].
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] - I really like it, but I’m picky where I like it. I think I prefer [name_f]Claire[/name_f] for a FN, but I do really love [name_f]Clara[/name_f], too. I love [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Clara[/name_f] as double-barrels, too.

Good luck!

I really like [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Calla[/name_f], [name_f]Lila[/name_f] and [name_f]Tessa[/name_f].

I love [name_f]Bridget[/name_f], [name_f]Lila[/name_f], [name_f]Thea[/name_f], [name_f]Noa[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f]. [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] and [name_f]Lila[/name_f] are on my list though I much prefer [name_f]Lila[/name_f] spelt [name_f]Leela[/name_f] (I keep going to say Lie-luh for [name_f]Lila[/name_f].)

I love [name_f]Greta[/name_f], [name_f]Calla[/name_f], [name_f]Lena[/name_f], and [name_f]Thea[/name_f]. I love [name_f]Leda[/name_f] even more than [name_f]Lena[/name_f].
