The perfect name for a potential daughter

aliciamae · January 10, 2017, 4:11pm

Hey everyone!

Based on my criteria, what name do you think would be the perfect fit for a potential daughter?
The name should:

End in an “a”
Be vintage, classic, or timeless (popular during the late 1800s to the early 1900s)
Sound nice with the middle name being [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
Preferably begin with a vowel
Lend itself to nicknames
Not difficult to spell/pronounce

Thank you!

The first thing that came to mind was [name_f]Amalia[/name_f]!! I think it fits all of your criteria, it sounds great and depending on how you pronounce it it doesnt have to sound like [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]!
Potential nicknames: [name_f]Ammie[/name_f], [name_f]Mali[/name_f]/[name_f]Mallie[/name_f], [name_u]Mal[/name_u]
As said by Nameberry " [name_f]Amalia[/name_f]'s popularity was spread in eighteenth century Europe due to the fame of [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f], a Duchess who was a great patron of the arts. "
