The Wonderfully Brave Girls - Continued

Girl Names
1

Here we go again. I managed to get my list down to seventeen, so I’m very proud of myself. If you could help me out cutting a few more that’d be great. I realise I’m a snooze, but if you could (pretty please) give me your top three or something, tell me why you like or dislike something, that would be smashing. It’s just too difficult! Everytime I take one off, another one pops back on. Niniane and Nimue are the same person, so even if this name isn’t something you think I should use, would you please tell me which one you prefer? I also don’t care about different lengths, I don’t think long names are superior to short names, I want names that are equal in power not letters or syllables. All names qualifies in the brave, exceptional, clever and stunning category for me.

This is the list, with pronunciation and nickname ideas (if you’ve got more they’re appreciated, but I don’t like boyish nicknames. I want cute and dainty or animal-ish).

EDIT at the bottom of page four.

[name_f]Morgana[/name_f] is safe but lacks a nickname. Not that she needs one, but I’m kind of liking nicknames… (Mora, Mori, Angie’s been suggested and I love these)

[name_f]Boudicca[/name_f] (BOO-di-kuh) Boo, [name_f]Didi[/name_f]
Bradamante (brad-uh-[name_m]MAN[/name_m]-tee) Ante, [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]Addie[/name_f]
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f] (kuh-LIE-uh-pee) [name_f]Callie[/name_f], [name_f]Lia[/name_f]
[name_f]Circe[/name_f] (SUR-see) [name_f]Cece[/name_f]
Cleopatra (klee-o-PA-truh) [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], Panther, [name_f]Cat[/name_f]

Nausicaa (nawz-i-[name_u]KAY[/name_u]-uh) [name_u]Kay[/name_u], [name_f]Kaia[/name_f]
Nimue ([name_m]NIM[/name_m]-oo-ee) Immie
Niniane (nin-i-A-nuh) [name_f]Nina[/name_f], [name_m]Nin[/name_m]

Firstly, nickname for [name_f]Morgana[/name_f]. Ganna (Ukrainian version of [name_f]Ann[/name_f] and may work); [name_u]Mo[/name_u] is superb (but maybe too close to Roo, hm?); [name_m]Morry[/name_m], [name_u]Angie[/name_u](“gan” part backwards), [name_f]Annie[/name_f](too plain?).

3

I prefer Niniane to Nimue.

My favorites off your list are [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] (nn Guin, [name_f]Eve[/name_f]/[name_f]Evie[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f]) and Hecate (nn [name_f]Catie[/name_f]…but I always pronounced this one heh-cuh-tee). I like Hippolyta, but I’d run from anything with Hippo in it.
[name_f]Morgana[/name_f] has the nickname [name_f]Ana[/name_f], but it’s much safer than all your other names, and in my opinion, a bit boring.

4

Top 5 in no particular order

[name_f]Isolde[/name_f]
[name_f]Circe[/name_f]
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]
[name_f]Olympia[/name_f]
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f]

As for Nimue vs Niniane, I prefer Nimue.

5

I will give you my top 3:
[name_f]Circe[/name_f] (love!!!)
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f] (love!!!)
[name_f]Isis[/name_f]

I feel like the remaining names (excluding [name_f]Morgana[/name_f] which I love as well) are too extravagant and/or will cause pronunciation problems down the road.
What happened to [name_f]Hypatia[/name_f]? :frowning: I noticed her on your other thread and is a beautiful choice because of her history.

A nickname for [name_f]Morgana[/name_f]:
Morgie
[name_m]Mori[/name_m]
[name_f]Gigi[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
Morg (hmm probably not this one lol…morgue)

6

Yay pronunciations! I don’t have to feel like an idiot this time :stuck_out_tongue:

I like. . .
[name_f]Circe[/name_f]
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]
[name_f]Isis[/name_f]
Proserpina
[name_f]Olympia[/name_f]

My favorite is has to be [name_f]Isis[/name_f]. It packs so much strength and beauty into two short syllables. [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] is my second favorite, and Proserpina is my third. I kinda like the idea of Prosie as a nn. [name_f]Posie[/name_f] could probably work too, but I love that Pr- sound.

The only name I actively dislike is [name_f]Boudicca[/name_f]. It’s probably the “dick” syllable that gets to me. Also B in general isn’t a letter I like in names.

7

I actually met a little girl named [name_f]Isis[/name_f]. Her brother’s name was [name_m]Ramses[/name_m]. It was an adorable, and brave, sibset!

I like Nimue over Niniane. When I see the second name, I just think Ninny, which means a silly girl, and not in a positive way! Nimue also seems more womanly sleek to me.

8

Yay [name_f]Morgana[/name_f] is safe. I love it. I love the pp suggestion of [name_f]Gigi[/name_f]. I also like the suggestion of Ganna.

Nicknames for [name_f]Morgana[/name_f]
Morga
[name_f]Mora[/name_f]
[name_f]Ora[/name_f]
[name_f]Mona[/name_f]
[name_u]Orie[/name_u]
[name_f]Maggie[/name_f]
[name_f]Oona[/name_f]

Favorites from the other list
[name_f]Isolde[/name_f]
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]
Gwenllian
[name_f]Olympia[/name_f]

Then, other nicknames:
[name_f]Boudicca[/name_f] (BOO-di-kuh) Boo, [name_f]Didi[/name_f] I prefer Boo. [name_f]Didi[/name_f] sounds a bit like bra cup size…
Bradamante (brad-uh-[name_m]MAN[/name_m]-tee) Ante, [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]Addie[/name_f]I like [name_f]Ada[/name_f] much, but I prefer it as a full name; [name_f]Addie[/name_f] may blend with [name_u]Addison[/name_u], [name_f]Adele[/name_f], [name_f]Adaline[/name_f], [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]…Though I don’t know if it’s an [name_f]Addie[/name_f] boom in the UK as well…It’s cute, but I prefer Ante.
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f] (kuh-LIE-uh-pee) [name_f]Callie[/name_f], [name_f]Lia[/name_f][name_f]Callie[/name_f]! [name_f]Lia[/name_f] might be mistaken by her full name and not as cute.
[name_f]Circe[/name_f] (SUR-see) [name_f]Cece[/name_f] *I love [name_f]Cece[/name_f]!
Cleoptara (klee-o-PA-truh) [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], Panther, [name_f]Cat[/name_f] [name_m]Leo[/name_m] for a girl is incredibly cool! [name_f]Cat[/name_f] is also toll.
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] ([name_u]GWIN[/name_u]-uh-veer) [name_f]Gwen[/name_f], [name_f]Evie[/name_f] [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] all the way! Rocker-ish and badass enough but smart and girly without frills.
Gwenllian (gwen-LHEE-uhn) [name_f]Gwen[/name_f]Ditto [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]
Hecate (he-[name_u]KAY[/name_u]-tee) [name_f]Cat[/name_f], [name_f]Katie[/name_f] I prefer [name_f]Katy[/name_f] to [name_f]Katie[/name_f]…[name_f]Cat[/name_f], as I said, is fun
Hippolyta (hi-[name_m]POL[/name_m]-i-tuh) [name_f]Polly[/name_f], [name_f]Lita[/name_f]I adore [name_f]Polly[/name_f] since my child years! Could you please have one?
[name_f]Isis[/name_f] (I-sis)
[name_f]Isolde[/name_f] (ee-ZOL-duh) [name_f]Izzie[/name_f] What about [name_m]Solly[/name_m]? Or [name_f]Didi[/name_f], if you like it? [name_u]Izzy[/name_u] I like for [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] but not for [name_f]Isolde[/name_f](sorry here for giving my cents while it’s not my business; I just love [name_m]Solly[/name_m]:))
[name_f]Jezebel[/name_f] ([name_f]JEZ[/name_f]-uh-bel) [name_f]Belle[/name_f], [name_u]Jess[/name_u] [name_u]Jess[/name_u] by a million!
Nausicaa (nawz-i-[name_u]KAY[/name_u]-uh) [name_u]Kay[/name_u], [name_f]Kaia[/name_f]Looks like you have collected my old favorites; I just adore [name_u]Kay[/name_u]! Yay for new [name_u]Kay[/name_u]!:slight_smile:
Nimue ([name_m]NIM[/name_m]-oo-ee) Immie Cute. I dreamed about having a daughter [name_f]Irma[/name_f] “Immie” when I was a child. :slight_smile:
Niniane (nin-i-A-nuh) [name_f]Nina[/name_f], [name_m]Nin[/name_m]I love [name_f]Nina[/name_f]. Remindes me of “Kidnapping, Caucasian style”.
[name_f]Olympia[/name_f] (uh-LIMP-ee-uh) [name_f]Pia[/name_f] You know I think [name_f]Pia[/name_f] is beyond cute. Thumbs up!
Proserpine/Proserpina (proz-uhr-PEEN/proz-uhr-PEE-nuh) [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], [name_f]Pia[/name_f] I vote [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] here, prefer [name_f]Pia[/name_f] for Proserpina

OK, it were just my 2(or 16;)) cents(I know you didn’t ask about nns but it was fun) ,of course nickname depends fully on the babe; that’s why DD is [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] now.
Top 5:
[name_f]Circe[/name_f]
Gwenllian
[name_f]Isolde[/name_f]
[name_f]Olympia[/name_f]
Proserpina

Nimue vs Niniane: I prefer Niniane for the [name_f]Nina[/name_f] nickname.

10

I can’t see [name_f]Morgana[/name_f] as anything other than Morgs, lol.

I am sad [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] is gone :frowning:

Anyway, top three!

  1. Bradamante
  2. [name_f]Morgana[/name_f]
  3. [name_f]Calliope[/name_f]

I’d choose Niniane over Nimue.

11

I can’t see [name_f]Morgana[/name_f] as anything other than Morgs, lol.

I am sad [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] is gone :frowning:

Anyway, top three!

  1. Bradamante
  2. [name_f]Morgana[/name_f]
  3. [name_f]Calliope[/name_f]

I’d choose Niniane over Nimue.

12

In addition to [name_f]Morgana[/name_f], my top three are Gwenllian, Hippolyta, and [name_f]Isolde[/name_f]. Hippolyta aside, I really like the feel of something from the British Isles paired with the Greek [name_f]Aphrodite[/name_f]. I couldn’t really tell you why. [name_f]Morgana[/name_f] and [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] especially are dark and magical to me, whereas [name_f]Aphrodite[/name_f] is light and powerful in a non-magical way. I know what I’m trying to say, but the right words aren’t coming to me. :confused: [name_f]Aphrodite[/name_f] contrasts with [name_f]Morgana[/name_f], Gwenllian, and [name_f]Isolde[/name_f], and I love the contrast in imagery. (That didn’t make any sense, sorry.)

And I prefer Niniane. Nimue sounds kind of silly to me. Niniane and Bradamante would have been #4 and #5 for me.

13

[name_f]Morgana[/name_f] - Morgy, [name_f]Ana[/name_f], Morgnana is pretty and magic and unexpected with out being weird or crazy. I loved the portrayal of her on BBC’s [name_m]Merlin[/name_m]. I think it sounds nice with [name_f]Aphrodite[/name_f].

[name_f]Boudicca[/name_f] (BOO-di-kuh) Boo, [name_f]Didi[/name_f]- I like the spelling and pronunciation Boadicea much more. I think the nick name Buddha will surface with this version and if she is chunky that will be unfortunate.
Bradamante (brad-uh-[name_m]MAN[/name_m]-tee) Ante, [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]Addie[/name_f] - I don’t know who this is, and I don’t have the will power to look it up. Based on only the name alone i’m not liking this one at all. I don’t know why but i automatically think “[name_m]Brad[/name_m]-jalina.” I think this name is kind of ugly.
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f] (kuh-LIE-uh-pee) [name_f]Callie[/name_f], [name_f]Lia[/name_f]- I really like this one. So long as your last name doesn’t start with a P so she doesn’t get called P.P. lol. [name_f]Aphrodite[/name_f] and [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] are a little bit matchy with the “tee and pee” endings though.
[name_f]Circe[/name_f] (SUR-see) [name_f]Cece[/name_f] - [name_f]Love[/name_f] this but again, i think the endings are a bit too similar. [name_f]Circe[/name_f] has that dark thing going on with it, but I think she is more of the can be good or bad depending on how the mood hits her. lol
[name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f] (klee-o-PA-truh) [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], Panther, [name_f]Cat[/name_f]- I kind of like this one, especially with nick name [name_f]Cleo[/name_f]. Cute. [name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f] and [name_f]Aphrodite[/name_f] make and interesting pair. The imagery of both women together is kind of electric. (see [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] for more on [name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f])
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] ([name_u]GWIN[/name_u]-uh-veer) [name_f]Gwen[/name_f], [name_f]Evie[/name_f]- Like [name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f] I think this is a fun choice to pair with your daughters name. It is a little less crazy then your other names. [name_f]One[/name_f] thing to keep in mind though is if you use [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f], [name_f]Morgana[/name_f] is most likely going to be off the table for another girl. You’ll have to decide which you like better. For me, I think [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] and [name_f]Aphrodite[/name_f] are both on the same page. They are both beautiful “lusty” women with an air of magic. I’d say they are both “good girls” where as [name_f]Morgana[/name_f] and [name_f]Aphrodite[/name_f] seem a little bit of opposing forces. [name_m]Both[/name_m] beautiful and lusty and magical… but one is good and the other bad… kind of like [name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f]. lol [name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f] and [name_f]Morgana[/name_f] are on the same page [name_f]IMO[/name_f].
Gwenllian (gwen-LHEE-uhn) [name_f]Gwen[/name_f]- Not my favorite. It’s a little weird, and doesn’t have that familiar undertones that [name_f]Morgana[/name_f], [name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f], [name_f]Circe[/name_f], and [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] do.
Hecate (he-[name_u]KAY[/name_u]-tee) [name_f]Cat[/name_f], [name_f]Katie[/name_f]- I don’t like this one at all.
Hippolyta (hi-[name_m]POL[/name_m]-i-tuh) [name_f]Polly[/name_f], [name_f]Lita[/name_f]- Again, this one is weird and she will probably get called Hippo or Hippy.
[name_f]Isis[/name_f] (I-sis)- I like [name_f]Isis[/name_f], but again she is kind of a darker name. Kind of in the same league as Clepatra and [name_f]Morgana[/name_f].
[name_f]Isolde[/name_f] (ee-ZOL-duh) [name_f]Izzie[/name_f]- She would joing the thousands of other Izzies named [name_f]Isobel[/name_f].
[name_f]Jezebel[/name_f] ([name_f]JEZ[/name_f]-uh-bel) [name_f]Belle[/name_f], [name_u]Jess[/name_u]- I never liked this one.
Nausicaa (nawz-i-[name_u]KAY[/name_u]-uh) [name_u]Kay[/name_u], [name_f]Kaia[/name_f]- Makes me think of nausea.
Nimue ([name_m]NIM[/name_m]-oo-ee) Immie- I prefer this one over Niniane because you could call her [name_m]Nim[/name_m] which i think is super cute. This would not make my top 3 for you though.
Niniane (nin-i-A-nuh) [name_f]Nina[/name_f], [name_m]Nin[/name_m] - I don’t like this one.
[name_f]Olympia[/name_f] (uh-LIMP-ee-uh) [name_f]Pia[/name_f] - [name_f]Olympia[/name_f] is a fun name. I had a character named [name_f]Olympia[/name_f] once in a story. She was a detective and went by [name_f]Pia[/name_f].
Proserpine/Proserpina (proz-uhr-PEEN/proz-uhr-PEE-nuh) [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], [name_f]Pia[/name_f]- I predict the nick name Penis.

Top 5 are

[name_f]Morgana[/name_f]
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]
[name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f]
[name_f]Circe[/name_f]
[name_f]Olympia[/name_f]

14

My favorites:

  1. Nimue - [name_m]Both[/name_m] airy and watery…just perfect for an [name_f]Aquarius[/name_f], and I love the water connection between Nimue/Niniane and [name_f]Aphrodite[/name_f]! I also think an Arthurian legend name is a nice followup after going with a Greek myth name. My preference is for Nimue, but there’s nothing wrong with Niniane, either.
    2a) [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] - Holds its own very well against [name_f]Aphrodite[/name_f]. [name_f]Morgana[/name_f] (2b) does, too.
  2. [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] - Such a lovely name.

If you hate boyish nicknames, Bradamante could be risky. “[name_m]Brad[/name_m]” and “[name_m]Manny[/name_m]” are such easy and obvious ways to shorten it, and nicknames are only under your control for a short while.

ETA: If you’re looking for alternate nicks, my favorite for Isolde is Sola/Zola. It’s more distinctive than Izzie.
Like ninanoo, I also think of “peen” or “penis” when I read Proserpine/Proserpina. It’s a shame because, while I like it far (FAR) more than Persephone, I wouldn’t want to be a Proserpine.

15

I always look forward to your posts, it’s not often I see new names nowadays!

[name_f]Morgana[/name_f] - Why not just Aw-na? [name_f]Ana[/name_f] for a nickname.
[name_f]Boudicca[/name_f] (BOO-di-kuh) Boo, [name_f]Didi[/name_f] - This one doesn’t feel dainty to me whatsoever
Bradamante (brad-uh-[name_m]MAN[/name_m]-tee) Ante, [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]Addie[/name_f] - This one feels like a boys name to me
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f] (kuh-LIE-uh-pee) [name_f]Callie[/name_f], [name_f]Lia[/name_f] - [name_f]Love[/name_f] love love this
[name_f]Circe[/name_f] (SUR-see) [name_f]Cece[/name_f] - [name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_f]Circe[/name_f] too!
[name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f] (klee-o-PA-truh) [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], Panther, [name_f]Cat[/name_f] - [name_m]Leo[/name_m] is too much of a boys nickname for me
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] ([name_u]GWIN[/name_u]-uh-veer) [name_f]Gwen[/name_f], [name_f]Evie[/name_f] - [name_f]Evie[/name_f] is adorable
Gwenllian (gwen-LHEE-uhn) [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] - Like the name, but not fond of [name_f]Gwen[/name_f]
Hecate (he-[name_u]KAY[/name_u]-tee) [name_f]Cat[/name_f], [name_f]Katie[/name_f] - Not a fan
Hippolyta (hi-[name_m]POL[/name_m]-i-tuh) [name_f]Polly[/name_f], [name_f]Lita[/name_f] - Not a fan again, the Hippo part always throws me off
[name_f]Isis[/name_f] (I-sis) - Very pretty! I’m not sure if it holds it’s own next to [name_f]Dita[/name_f] though!!
[name_f]Isolde[/name_f] (ee-ZOL-duh) [name_f]Izzie[/name_f] - Not dainty enough in my honest opinion
[name_f]Jezebel[/name_f] ([name_f]JEZ[/name_f]-uh-bel) [name_f]Belle[/name_f], [name_u]Jess[/name_u] - I would love Ezee (ez-ee) as a nickname, a bit out there maybe? no?
Nausicaa (nawz-i-[name_u]KAY[/name_u]-uh) [name_u]Kay[/name_u], [name_f]Kaia[/name_f] - The nawz part makes me think of Naseau
Nimue ([name_m]NIM[/name_m]-oo-ee) Immie - Perfer this one out of the too, love Immie!
Niniane (nin-i-A-nuh) [name_f]Nina[/name_f], [name_m]Nin[/name_m] ^^^^
[name_f]Olympia[/name_f] (uh-LIMP-ee-uh) [name_f]Pia[/name_f] - [name_f]Love[/name_f] this, but not keen on [name_f]Pia[/name_f], [name_f]Olia[/name_f] could be sweet
Proserpine/Proserpina (proz-uhr-PEEN/proz-uhr-PEE-nuh) [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], [name_f]Pia[/name_f] - Not sure how I feel about this! Reminds me of the word [name_m]Prosperity[/name_m], which isn’t a bad thing!

Favorites:
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f]
[name_f]Circe[/name_f]
[name_f]Olympia[/name_f]

16

Ones I love:
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]
[name_f]Isolde[/name_f]
[name_f]Circe[/name_f]
[name_f]Olympia[/name_f]
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f]

Ones I just can’t get behind:
[name_f]Boudicca[/name_f] (this just begs to be nicknamed Booty, IMHO)
Hippolyta (same with the word Hippo)
[name_f]Jezebel[/name_f] (a morally shameless woman…)

I prefer Nimue to Niniane.

17

I think [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] and [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] are best,though [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] goes better with [name_f]Aphrodite[/name_f] in my opinion.

18

[name_m]Okey[/name_m] doke, here’s my top 3:
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]
[name_f]Isolde[/name_f]
Gwellian

The reasons I don’t like the others are pretty similar. A lot of them have unattractive sounds or sound quite clunky to me, and many of them don’t feel dainty or fairy-like and I’m just not feeling them with [name_f]Aphrodite[/name_f]. But I reckon both [name_f]Morgana[/name_f] and [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] would be fantastic next to [name_f]Dita[/name_f] :slight_smile:

19

My phone isn’t letting me copy/paste, so I’ll have to wait until I get home to reply. But I just wanted to say that I prefer Nimue to Niniane–it has a singularly lovely sound.

20

My top five:

[name_f]Morgana[/name_f]: [name_f]Ana[/name_f] ("[name_m]AH[/name_m]-na") is a possible nickname. I met a little girl at work named [name_f]Christiana[/name_f] who’s nicknamed [name_f]Ana[/name_f].
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f]
Nausicaa: I’ve always pronounced this as “NAW-sic-cah”.
[name_f]Isolde[/name_f]
[name_f]Olympia[/name_f]

These are the ones that are the most usable to me. There are a lot of big names here—[name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f] might overwhelm the bearer with connotations. [name_f]Jezebel[/name_f] has a very beautiful sound, but the biblical connotations are very heavy. I love a lot of these names, but you might want to consider usability along with the “stunning” factor.
