Please tell me what you think and be honest
I like [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] & [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]
[name_f]Desiree[/name_f] - I have never liked this name and probably never will. I can’t tell you why, but it kinda-sorta seems a little low-class to me.
[name_u]Carmen[/name_u] - I love this name. It’s my aunt’s, but I am not all that happy about the Spy Kids reference (even though I think [name_u]Carmen[/name_u] [name_m]Cortez[/name_m]'s full name is GORGEOUS).
[name_f]Lola[/name_f] - I’m big on meanings, so the “lady of sorrows” thing is an automatic turn-off, but it’s cute.
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] - NMS. WHY can’t I get behind this name?!
[name_f]Nadia[/name_f]/[name_f]Nadine[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] the meaning! Very exotic-sounding.
[name_f]Chiara[/name_f] - Pretty, but I personally wouldn’t use it just because my Dad’s side of the family would never say or spell it correctly.
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] - I think of the princess from [name_m]Sinbad[/name_m], who I love, so awesome!
[name_f]Mariah[/name_f] - Personal negative experience with a [name_f]Mariah[/name_f].
[name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f] - I want to like this name, but I can’t.
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] - PAINTING WITH ALL THE COLORS OF THE YES.
[name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f] - NMS, but very elegant!
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] - Middle name slot only in my book.
[name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] - This is more of a best friend’s name than a daughter’s name, but that may very well be because I have a friend named [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f].
[name_f]Nicole[/name_f] - Middle name slot. (It’s my cousin’s, actually.)
[name_f]Ariadne[/name_f]/[name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] - Wouldn’t use it, but they intrigue me. [name_f]My[/name_f] mind automatically jumps to their respective Greek myths, since I practically grew up on those. Perfect Greek-inspired sibset!
Overall, I guess our naming styles are very different. But I think your names will be well-liked by those who like that particular flavor!
To be honest, the only ones I’m not a fan of are [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f], [name_f]Nicole[/name_f], and [name_f]Desiree[/name_f]… and only because they seem really dated. The others are lovely! [name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_f]Nadine[/name_f], [name_u]Carmen[/name_u], and [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] are my favorites.
Thank you!
Also, could you guys recommend me some names based on my list?
I really like [name_f]Gwen[/name_f], [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f], [name_f]Lola[/name_f] and [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]
I love…
[name_f]Desiree[/name_f] - [name_m]French[/name_m] - desired for daughter - love the meaning and the sound of the name.
[name_f]Gwen[/name_f] - Welsh - white circle - one of my favourite one-syllable girls names. I know a [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] who is very artistic and creative so that helps!
[name_f]Chiara[/name_f] - Italian - light, clear - one of my favourite Italian names
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] - Latin - from the sea - gorgeous
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] - [name_f]Flower[/name_f] name - a lovely flower name
I like…
[name_f]Avalon[/name_f] - Celtic - island of apples - I’m not big on place names but this one would be ok in the middle
[name_u]Carmen[/name_u] - Spanish - garden - I thought [name_u]Carmen[/name_u] meant “song”. I like it but it has a sultry vibe like [name_f]Lola[/name_f].
[name_f]Lola[/name_f]- Spanish - lady of sorrows - an exotic and sensual choice
[name_f]Nadia[/name_f] - Russian - hope - it still makes me think of the Romanian Olympic gymnast after all these years.
[name_f]Nadine[/name_f] - [name_m]French[/name_m] - hope - see [name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f] below.
[name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f] - [name_m]French[/name_m] - supplanter - a little “dated” but I still like it.
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] - Word name - I like this word better in the middle spot
[name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] - Greek - bright - soft and otherworldly
I dislike…
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] - English - scarlet, red - too many negatives like scarlet woman, scarlet fever
[name_f]Mariah[/name_f] - Latin - the [name_m]Lord[/name_m] is my teacher - this sounds fine but it’s still too strongly associated with spoiled diva [name_f]Mariah[/name_f] [name_u]Carey[/name_u]
[name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f] - Welsh - divine queen - there are better Welsh names out there
[name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] - Greek - garland, crown - dated
[name_f]Nicole[/name_f] - [name_m]French[/name_m] - people of victory - see [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] - Greek - most holy - I prefer [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]

Thank you, that was very thorough! Of the names you listed, I like:
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
[name_f]Jasmine[/name_f]
[name_f]Electra[/name_f]
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f]

I really like [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f], [name_u]Carmen[/name_u], and [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f]. [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f] I appreciate even though it isn’t my favorite. I appreciate her because she is gorgeous and underused.
[name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] doesn’t seem like she’s ready for a comeback yet, similar to [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] in this way. [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] and [name_f]Desiree[/name_f] are also in the same boat as [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] and [name_u]Ashley[/name_u].
Although, I think [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] is quite cute, and I doubt she is ready for a comeback either.
Thanks for the input
My favourite are [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f] and [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f]. [name_f]Avalon[/name_f] is on my GPN list, so I love this name too!
Thanks!
