Thoughts on favourite names?

[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] - not bad, but this name really saw its day in the sun back in the early 2000s/late 90s. I tend to prefer [name_f]Alexandria[/name_f].
[name_f]Amara[/name_f] - not a fan.
[name_u]Amari[/name_u] - never heard of this one before. Not a fan.
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]/[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Millie[/name_f]) - [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] is pretty but far too popular. I adore [name_f]Amelie[/name_f], but don’t think nn [name_f]Millie[/name_f] is necessary with this one.
[name_u]Arden[/name_u] - sounds so harsh to me.
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] - makes me think of some gorgeous [name_m]Roman[/name_m] goddess. Not a fan of the nickname choices though.
[name_f]Averie[/name_f] - Cute, but not my favorite.
[name_f]Camila[/name_f] - bad association has ruined this name for me.
[name_f]Charlize[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Charli[/name_f]) - too tied to the actress.
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] - stiff and formal-sounding.
[name_f]Delfina[/name_f] (nn Delfi) - I like [name_f]Delphine[/name_f], [name_f]Delphinia[/name_f] and Delphinium, but not [name_f]Delfina[/name_f] for some reason.
[name_f]Emerie[/name_f] - Prefer the [name_u]Emery[/name_u] spelling, not my favorite.
[name_f]Giselle[/name_f] - [name_f]Lovely[/name_f].
[name_u]Haven[/name_u] - Not my style.
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] - Okay, I suppose.
[name_f]Kyla[/name_f] - Not a fan.
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] - I prefer plain [name_f]Lily[/name_f].
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f] - Again, I prefer [name_f]Lucy[/name_f].
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] - For some reason, this name’s never quite grown on me.
[name_f]Lyla[/name_f] - Spelled [name_f]Lila[/name_f], this is quite pretty.
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] - Cute. Makes me think of pastries.
[name_f]Marisa[/name_f] - Never quite sure how to pronounce this (mar-iss-uh or mah-rees-uh?)
[name_f]Mila[/name_f] - Cute.
[name_f]Nina[/name_f] - Dislike.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - All the [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]'s I know are very dull.
[name_f]Samara[/name_f] - Not my style.
[name_u]Skye[/name_u] - I’ve always had a soft spot for this name.
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] - One of my favourites! Sweet and spunky.
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] - Eh. Not my style.
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f] - Not bad, but not my favourite.
[name_f]Teresa[/name_f] - Again, not my style, but a fine name nevertheless.

4

[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] - 6/10 Very regal and stuffy to me. Lots of cute nicknames are a plus though.
[name_f]Amara[/name_f] - 7/10 [name_f]Lovely[/name_f]!
[name_u]Amari[/name_u] - 3/10 Seems incomplete.
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]/[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Millie[/name_f]) - 9/10 Beautiful and classic.
[name_u]Arden[/name_u] - 3/10 I don’t care for its harsh sound.
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] - 8/10 Stunning, but also a mouthful.
[name_f]Averie[/name_f] - 4/10 I prefer [name_u]Avery[/name_u] and also tend to not care for unisex names.
[name_f]Camila[/name_f]- 6/10 Pretty name, just does nothing for me.
[name_f]Charlize[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Charli[/name_f]) - 2/10 I much prefer [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]. [name_f]Charlize[/name_f] looks awkward and dated.
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] - 9/10 Beautiful, short and sweet.
[name_f]Delfina[/name_f] (nn Delfi) - 6/10 Although it sounds lovely, I always think of dolphins. Which can be a good or bad thing.
[name_f]Emerie[/name_f] - see [name_f]Averie[/name_f]
[name_f]Giselle[/name_f] - 2/10 I don’t care for this. I just think of gazelles. I think about animals often.
[name_u]Haven[/name_u] - 7/10 Huge guilty pleasure for me. I love its sound and meaning.
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] - 4/10 I’ve never been able to jump on this band wagon.
[name_f]Kyla[/name_f] - 6/10 Its lovely, but will blend into the million [name_u]Kiley[/name_u]'s and [name_f]Kaylee[/name_f]'s.
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] - 9/10 Stunning!
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f] - 9/10 [name_f]Love[/name_f] this as well. Very sweet and playful.
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] - 6/10 I also can’t see the appeal of this name, but it’s not terrible and I wouldn’t mind meeting a little [name_f]Lydia[/name_f].
[name_f]Lyla[/name_f] - 7/10 Pretty, but it feels boring to me. I prefer [name_f]Lyra[/name_f].
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] - 5/10 I adore this name, but the amount if [name_f]Maddie[/name_f]'s I see around here kind of ruins it.
[name_f]Marisa[/name_f] - 1/10 Dated and boring
[name_f]Mila[/name_f] - 7/10 [name_f]Lovely[/name_f]
[name_f]Nina[/name_f] - 6/10 Cute and spunky but could also sound dated.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - 7/10 Its a pretty name, I just don’t personally care for it.
[name_f]Samara[/name_f] - 4/10 I don’t care for this. Reminds me of the girl from the Grudge.
[name_u]Sky[/name_u] - 2/10 Very popular filler middle name around here.
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] - 9/10 I’m in love with [name_f]Stella[/name_f]. She often battles [name_f]Luna[/name_f] for my #1 (you can’t have both!)
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] - 8/10 A lot of people find this really immature but I find it charming.
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f] - 2/10 I don’t care for this at all.
[name_f]Teresa[/name_f] - 2/10 Ruined for me by association.

My favorite are [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Lilia[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Stella[/name_f].

[name_f]Stella[/name_f] and [name_u]Haven[/name_u] sound like quirky sisters. I also like [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] together.

5

[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] 8 (always a beautiful name)
[name_f]Amara[/name_f] 6 (Cute. But i think you have better on your list.
[name_u]Amari[/name_u] 4 (This is a boys name. Amarice was a name on [name_f]Xena[/name_f] back in the day that you might like. Am-ah-rees) I think that is a lot prettier personally.
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]/[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Millie[/name_f]) 8 (Super cute. Probably my favorite on your list. )
[name_u]Arden[/name_u] 1 (Boys name in my opinion.)
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] 8 (This WAS on my long list, but I found it frustrating how people sort of have different opinions about how it should be pronounced. It is pretty though with a pretty meaning.)
[name_f]Averie[/name_f] 1 (i only like for a boy, spelled [name_u]Avery[/name_u])
[name_f]Camila[/name_f] 6 (I really like [name_f]Camile[/name_f], but [name_f]Camila[/name_f] is just a bit too much for me personally. I do like it though.)
[name_f]Charlize[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Charli[/name_f]) 1 (boy nick name. I’m not a fan of the girl charlie trend.)
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] 5 (Boring)
[name_f]Delfina[/name_f] (nn Delfi) 2 (Second time I’ve seen this name in as many days. It doesn’t do it for me.)
[name_f]Emerie[/name_f] (1 [name_m]Just[/name_m] because I think of it as a boys name. I actually like it a lot got a boy.)
[name_f]Giselle[/name_f] 8 (Pretty, it is on my long list for my next daughter.)
[name_u]Haven[/name_u] 6 (Cute, I really want to like it more. I don’t know. Maybe it would be better for a boy? It is sort of reminiscent of [name_m]Gavin[/name_m], [name_u]Devin[/name_u], [name_u]Davin[/name_u]… I think I might like it better for a boy.)
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] 5 (I don’t understand why this one is so popular here. I feel like it is just… bad. Im-o-gen. NO! You’r-o-gene… No! Im-o-gen!)
[name_f]Kyla[/name_f] 4 (I really like [name_f]Kayli[/name_f], [name_f]Kyli[/name_f], [name_f]Kayla[/name_f], [name_f]Kira[/name_f]… [name_f]Kyla[/name_f] is the only one I don’t like.)
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] 4 (I don’t like [name_f]Lilia[/name_f], your trying too hard. Why not just [name_f]Lilly[/name_f], [name_f]Lila[/name_f], [name_f]Lilla[/name_f], or [name_f]Layla[/name_f]? They are all super sweet girly girl names. The “ia” on the end is over kill.)
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f] 2 (Blech.)
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] 7 (Also pretty, a little dark. This is one I have tossed around for my own daughter or a character name.)
[name_f]Lyla[/name_f] 7 (Pretty.)
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] 8 (I really like [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], but I’d prefer just [name_f]Madeline[/name_f].)
[name_f]Marisa[/name_f] 7 (Cute, a little dated but still sweet.)
[name_f]Mila[/name_f] 5 (I feel like people only like this name because of [name_f]Mila[/name_f] Kunis. Never saw it much until she did the [name_m]Black[/name_m] Swan.)
[name_f]Nina[/name_f] 6 (Cute)
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] 2 (Too Friends.)
[name_f]Samara[/name_f] 6 (I like this so much, but it reminds me of the creepy girl from the ring ESPECIALLY if your daughter has the potential for dark brown or black hair. If it weren’t for that i’d have voted it higher.)
[name_u]Skye[/name_u] 1 (dated, feels really flakey to me.)
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] 1 (old lady)
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] 5 (Pretty, but maybe a little dated. I really like [name_u]Winter[/name_u] if you haven’t considered it.)
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f] 1 (You’ll constant hear, “[name_f]Isabella[/name_f]?” )
[name_f]Teresa[/name_f] 2 (too old)

For sisters

I think [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] and [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] are really fun. One is darker, the other literally means light. I think Liddy and [name_u]Ari[/name_u] would be cute nick names.
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Giselle[/name_f] would be stunning sister names. They are both [name_m]German[/name_m], so they have a connection.
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] and [name_f]Marisa[/name_f] have a subtle connection as well. [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] is a place name and [name_f]Marisa[/name_f] means “of the sea” which the sea, also just happens to be a place. :wink:
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] and [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] are both classic beauties and would sound lovely together.

I think [name_u]Haven[/name_u] is a nice middle name for most of these names. [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_u]Haven[/name_u], [name_f]Giselle[/name_f] [name_u]Haven[/name_u], [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_u]Haven[/name_u], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_u]Haven[/name_u]… And actually now that I think about it, [name_u]Haven[/name_u] meaning a safe place would be perfect with [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] to sort of balance out the fact that a name sake, [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] Erhart was literally lost to us.

[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] is also pretty nice with most of the names. [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], [name_f]Marisa[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]…

[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Giselle[/name_f] is a pretty combo.

[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] - 5/10 There is nothing wrong with it by any means, I just grew up with so so many Alexandras that the name is very played out for me.
[name_f]Amara[/name_f] - 7/10 I really liked this when I was younger. Very fresh, very easy to say but still interesting. Then my cousin used it for her daughter.
[name_u]Amari[/name_u] - 3/10 It isn’t a girls name to me. My friend has a 5 year old boy called [name_u]Amari[/name_u].
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]/[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Millie[/name_f]) - 8/10 I personally prefer [name_f]Amelie[/name_f].
[name_u]Arden[/name_u] - 7/10 I’m actually a fan of this name. However, I’m more familiar with it as a boys name.
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] - 2/10 Nope. It was my name in my Spanish language class in middle school. Hate it.
[name_f]Averie[/name_f] - 4/10 Not bad. The spelling is pretty, but I was initially tempted to say “[name_f]Ave[/name_f]-uh-rie” instead of [name_u]Avery[/name_u].
[name_f]Camila[/name_f] - 2/10 with this spelling, 7/10 if you add the extra L to make it [name_f]Camilla[/name_f]. I think it’s cute.
[name_f]Charlize[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Charli[/name_f]) - 1/10 NMS at all
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] - 5/10 Like [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f], it’s very played out for me. But it’s a perfectly suitable name!
[name_f]Delfina[/name_f] (nn Delfi) - 6/10 I prefer [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]. I’m so against the letter F it’s borderline insane. But I enjoy the name, it’s very fun to say
[name_f]Emerie[/name_f] - 3/10 [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t like the spelling, but love the name [name_u]Emery[/name_u].
[name_f]Giselle[/name_f] - 8/10 I have this on my list as well, so I clearly love it. But it almost feels too over the top
[name_u]Haven[/name_u] - 6/10 It is a pretty name. Something about it bugs me, though. But at the same time I find it very interesting…
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] - 3/10 It’s just meh.
[name_f]Kyla[/name_f] - 1/10 [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t like it at all. It makes an awkward sound on my tongue.
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] - 9/10 [name_f]Lovely[/name_f]!
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f] - 3/10 I don’t care for the “Loo” sound.
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] - 6/10 Cute. Average. I can see this one making a comeback soon, as well.
[name_f]Lyla[/name_f] - 2/10 I don’t know why I don’t like this, but I don’t :frowning:
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] - 8/10 Very sweet.
[name_f]Marisa[/name_f] - 6/10 Same as I feel about [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f].
[name_f]Mila[/name_f] - 8/10 I love it, but it feels slightly unfinished.
[name_f]Nina[/name_f] - 9/10 [name_f]Love[/name_f]. But like [name_f]Mila[/name_f], it almost feels unfinished.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - 1/10 Always hated this one. No real reason, it just doesn’t appeal to me in any way lol
[name_f]Samara[/name_f] - 4/10 It’s a very sweet, girly name…I just don’t care much for it
[name_u]Skye[/name_u] - 2/10 [name_u]Ever[/name_u] since I met my friend’s son named [name_u]Skye[/name_u]…I’m done
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] - 3/10 It’s cute but doesn’t do anything for me.
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] - 3/10. Very cliche for me. It’s one of those names that I think everyone wants to name their daughter at one point
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f] - 1/10 I don’t even know what to do with this one, I’m sorry
[name_f]Teresa[/name_f] - 6/10 I used to be in love with this name, but now it’s just kind of blah. I’ll put it in the same category as [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Marisa[/name_f].

My favorites are definitely [name_f]Amelie[/name_f], [name_f]Lilia[/name_f], [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], [name_f]Nina[/name_f], [name_f]Mila[/name_f]…in that order :slight_smile:

[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] - It reminds me very much of [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], thus making it a masculine and harsh name for a girl

[name_u]Amari[/name_u] - I like [name_f]Amara[/name_f] better

[name_f]Delfina[/name_f] (nn Delfi) - reminds me of Dolphin

[name_f]Kyla[/name_f] - very modern
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] - a beautiful twist on an overused classic

[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] - gorgeous, she has such a long history of usage, yet get’s overlooked by many parents
[name_f]Lyla[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Lila[/name_f] better but the name is nice

11

[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] - 9/10. I like it. It’s a classic, and you can’t go wrong with classics.
[name_f]Amara[/name_f] - 6/10 - [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] italian name. Too bad it’s a genus of beetles: Amara - Wikipedia
[name_u]Amari[/name_u] - 6/10 - [name_f]Amara[/name_f]'s sound is prettier [name_f]IMO[/name_f].
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]/[name_f]Amelie[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Millie[/name_f]) - 9/10 - Again, a nice classic! I think [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] is nicer, and if she wants, she can go by [name_f]Amelie[/name_f].
[name_u]Arden[/name_u] - 10/10 - I’m not sure why, but I really like this name. It’s strong and has a nice flow, but still feminine. Perfect middle name.
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] - 8/10 - [name_f]Lovely[/name_f]! I love the meaning. I’m not sure of its nns though.
[name_f]Averie[/name_f] - 5/10 - Why not [name_u]Avery[/name_u]? [name_m]Even[/name_m] though [name_u]Avery[/name_u] is trendy and popular, it is still a fine name. The “ie” ending cheapens it somehow.
[name_f]Camila[/name_f] - 9/10 - Again, a classic! [name_f]Love[/name_f] it. She can go by [name_f]Millie[/name_f] as well.
[name_f]Charlize[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Charli[/name_f]) - 7/10 - I like [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] better. It’s still attached to [name_f]Charlize[/name_f] [name_m]Theron[/name_m], and when she pronounces her name in afrikaans, it’s prettier than when she says it in english. I would want to enforce the afrikaans prn and this could be tiring!
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] - 10/10 - One of my favourite names ever. Classic, a nice meaning, easy prnc and fairly international. [name_f]Clio[/name_f] and [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] as nns are awesome. [name_f]Love[/name_f] it.
[name_f]Delfina[/name_f] (nn Delfi) - 4/10 - It’s really dated in portuguese and spanish. It means dolphin, but it also reminds me of the terrible [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] Lalaurie (who is now a character in American Horror [name_u]Story[/name_u]).
[name_f]Emerie[/name_f] - 6/10 - [name_u]Emery[/name_u] is cool. Again, the -ie cheapens it somehow.
[name_f]Giselle[/name_f] - 6/10 - Too princess-y for my taste.
[name_u]Haven[/name_u] - 9/10 - I like it. It has serious spunk and it’s way better than [name_f]Heaven[/name_f] or [name_f]Nevaeh[/name_f].
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] - 9/10 - Gorgeous name with [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m] pedigree.
[name_f]Kyla[/name_f] - 5/10 - Too dated and would be lost in the crowd of Michaelas, McKaylas, Kaylas, and so on
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] - 5/10 - I dislike it. [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilian[/name_f] are fine, but [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] just looks like it’s a typo.
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f] - 8/10 - Great name. Loo-ssea is prettier than Loo-chea [name_f]IMO[/name_f]. I don’t know which is the standard prn in english. [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] is gorgeous and would save some headaches in the prn area.
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] - 10/10 - Classic. Biblical pedigree. No kre8ive variations. A winner.
[name_f]Lyla[/name_f] - 5/10 - [name_m]Just[/name_m]… meh. It doesn’t carry as much spark or spunk as people want to believe. It also looks ugly and unbalanced when written down. It also looks a lot like [name_f]Kyla[/name_f] and [name_f]Kayla[/name_f] and even though it’s “fresh”, it already looks dated.
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] - 10/10 - [name_f]Lovely[/name_f]. [name_f]Love[/name_f] the spelling, the nns, the meaning. A winner.
[name_f]Marisa[/name_f] - 5/10 - [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t know why I dislike it. It’s an old lady name in [name_u]Brazil[/name_u], and it doesn’t offer many nn options.
[name_f]Mila[/name_f] - 7/10 - It’s nice. Simple and elegant. It just lacks something to my eyes.
[name_f]Nina[/name_f] - 9/10 - As simple and elegant as [name_f]Mila[/name_f], but it has a nice spark.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - 8/10 - I like it.
[name_f]Samara[/name_f] - 6/10 - Can’t disassociate with The [name_m]Ring[/name_m].
[name_u]Skye[/name_u] - 5/10 - [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t like the spelling and it feels somewhat dated.
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] - 10/10 - [name_f]Lovely[/name_f]!
[name_f]Summer[/name_f] - 8/10 - I like it, but it is a bit 90’s.
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f] - 4/10 - I know it’s a legitimate name, but it looks like somebody tried to smoosh [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] and [name_f]Sybil[/name_f]. I think it looks very ugly when written down.
[name_f]Teresa[/name_f] - 10/10 - [name_f]Lovely[/name_f], and the range of nns is awesome! [name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_f]Tess[/name_f] and [name_f]Tessa[/name_f].

Sorry if any of these sounded rude. It was really not my intention!
Best of luck!

Good luck!

I’m going to put the girls names in sibsets of three. The names can be from different styles but still complement each other.

[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f], [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Amara[/name_f], [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] and [name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_u]Amari[/name_u], [name_u]Haven[/name_u] and [name_f]Lyla[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Marisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Nina[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] and [name_f]Giselle[/name_f]
[name_u]Arden[/name_u], [name_f]Summer[/name_f] and [name_f]Delfina[/name_f]
[name_f]Averie[/name_f], [name_u]Skye[/name_u] and [name_u]Haven[/name_u]
[name_f]Camila[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] and [name_f]Samara[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlize[/name_f], [name_f]Emerie[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f], [name_f]Sybella[/name_f] and [name_f]Teresa[/name_f]

15

I’m not good at ranking between one and 10, but from your list, I like:

[name_f]Amelie[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
[name_f]Sybella[/name_f] (also like [name_f]Sybilla[/name_f], but I like [name_f]Bella[/name_f] as a nn over [name_u]Billie[/name_u]…)

If [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] was [name_f]Lila[/name_f], that would get my vote, as well, and depending on how you say [name_f]Marisa[/name_f] (mah-[name_f]REE[/name_f]-sah or mah-RISS-ah?), it could get my vote, as well. I love mah-[name_f]REE[/name_f]-sah, but find [name_f]Marissa[/name_f] (this spelling and pronunciation) to be a bit bland and dated to the 80s. I think [name_u]Ari[/name_u] and [name_f]Mari[/name_f] are adorable nns.

I think [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], and [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] would be lovely for sisters, or [name_f]Sybella[/name_f] and [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], or [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] and [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] as a combo, or [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], or [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]. [name_f]Sybella[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] (or [name_f]Sybella[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]?), too.

Have you considered [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Helena[/name_f], [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]/[name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], or [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]?
