Suggestions for My Name List

Genevieve nn Evie
Felicity
Madeleine/Magdalen/Magdalene nn Maddie/Maggie
Emilia
Stella
Veronica nn Vera
Victoria (but I don’t love the idea of two long girl names starting with v, so most likely just one or the other)
Rosalia nn Rosie
Lucia (loo-chee-a) nn Luce, Lulu
Bernadette nn Betty or Betsy (with an s middle name), or Berna
Cecilia
Elizabeth
Clara
Adelaide/Adelina nn Ada
Juliette
Monica
Eleanor nn Nora
Vivienne nn Vivi
Violet nn Lola, Via
Esther nn Essie
Joanna/Anneliese nn Annie
Beatrix nn Trixie, Bea
Avila nn Avie (not a top favorite)
Maria
Lydia

*I know some of these names wouldn’t work in a sibset, but these are just all my favorites.
Do any of these names not match the rest? What names would you add to to this list? Each name must have a strong Catholic connection, preferably a saint’s name. (The only names on my list that aren’t saint names are Vivienne and Eleanor, but there is a Saint Bibiana who goes by Saint Vivian, and Vivienne means “alive” which is a good Catholic meaning!
I also don’t care particularly care for too “plain” names (besides Elizabeth and Margaret, which I also love)

What about:

[name_f]Martha[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucille[/name_f]
[name_f]Marianne[/name_f]
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Estelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]

I love [name_f]Clara[/name_f]! Thank you!
I also love:
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] (it’s a bit too close to [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], however)
[name_f]Marianne[/name_f] (definitely as a middle name!)
[name_f]Susanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Estelle[/name_f] (I already have [name_f]Stella[/name_f], though)
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] (it’s really growing on me, especially with the cute nicknames Josie/Posie)
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] is also growing on me!
Thank you again for your response @ethelmary!

I think it’s okay to have similar names on your list that wouldn’t work as sibs :slight_smile: It’s unlikely you’ll have 27 kids right?

I’d consider adding…

[name_f]Agatha[/name_f] (Aggie, [name_f]Athie[/name_f], Hattie)
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f] (Bree, Birdie)
[name_f]Alberta[/name_f] (Alba, Bertie)
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] (Clemmie, Cece)
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] (Mari, [name_f]Martie[/name_f], Mattie)
[name_f]Apolline[/name_f] (Polly, [name_f]Allie[/name_f], Poppy)
[name_f]Paulina[/name_f] (Polly, Lina)
[name_f]Thomasin[/name_f] / Thomasina/ [name_f]Tamsin[/name_f] (Tansy, [name_m]Tommie[/name_m], [name_f]Maisy[/name_f], Mina)
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f] (Frankie, Francie)

Thank you! I love the nickname [name_f]Aggie[/name_f] for [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] but Magdalene/Margaret are on my list (with the nickname Maggie) so I couldn’t do [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] and [name_f]Aggie[/name_f]. But Hattie’s really sweet, too! So maybe I will add [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] to the list!
I also really like [name_f]Bridget[/name_f], she’s on my considering list!
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] is growing on me, also!
I do like the nickname [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], but I prefer [name_f]Perpetua[/name_f] with it.
