**Right now [name]Seraphina[/name] and [name]Penelope[/name] are my favorites but I am very worried about them becoming extremely popular in the next 5 years. I named my first LO [name]Scarlett[/name] and now her name is rising. Darn celebrities taking my names lol… Any thoughts??
My faves in order of preference are…
1 [name]Emmeline[/name] - sweet and gorgeous but I pronounce it “leen” not “line” or “lyn”.
2 [name]Melania[/name] - a more exotic take on somewhat tired [name]Melanie[/name]. Only drawback: Mrs [name]Donald[/name] Trump is named [name]Melania[/name].
3 [name]Clara[/name] - Not as common as [name]Claire[/name] but more dainty.
4 [name]Stella[/name] - Spunky but I do prefer it as a nn for [name]Estella[/name]/[name]Estelle[/name]. I see this name gaining in popularity.
5 [name]Seraphina[/name] - A little too frilly for my taste. I prefer the French version Séraphine.
6 [name]Penelope[/name] - I see this name skyrocketing in popularity since the Kardashian sister picked it for her daughter. It was already gaining steam before her birth. I don’t know if it will be another [name]Mason[/name] but I predict a big jump when the 2012 stats come out next year.
Thanks [name]Mischa[/name]. I had never heard [name]Emmeline[/name] and it sounded beautiful to me. Def going to mention that one to my hubby. I also like [name]Evangeline[/name]. Nicknames would be [name]Emma[/name] or [name]Evie[/name] for those two. When I mentioned [name]Melania[/name] to him he didn’t sound that impressed which isn’t a good sign lol. I really like it though. He is all about boy names because he is convinced we will have a boy. Girls run in our family though so I am doing my research on girl names! I still have some time thank goodness.
Thanks! : )
