[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u]

I think you have a really lovely list!! You have a few of my absolute favourites ([name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] swoon!!) and I really like the vast majority - as you can see!! Please don’t be hurt by the ones I dislike - I don’t really strongly dislike them, and tried to give a reason why.

Oh and I think just about any combination would work great as siblings!

[name_u]LOVE[/name_u]!!!:
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]

DISLIKE:
[name_f]Agatha[/name_f] (I find it harsh, but I do love [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] [name_u]Christie[/name_u]!)
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] (I find it a bit dated)
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] (I find it very ‘princessy’)
[name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] (I think of the [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m] character)
[name_f]Lucille[/name_f] (I find it a bit dated)
[name_f]Lillith[/name_f] (I vaguely remember that this name has an unfortunate history/meaning)
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f] (nms)
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] (I think of the [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Austen[/name_u] character)
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] (nms)
[name_f]Nora[/name_f] (nms)
[name_f]Pandora[/name_f] ([name_f]Pandora[/name_f]'s box)
[name_f]Ursula[/name_f] (Disney villan)
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] (but I like [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f])

These are my favourites (you have impeccable taste, by the by :)). I like all of them, honestly, but to me, these are the crème de la crème:

[name_f]Agatha[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Edith[/name_f]
[name_f]Esther[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucille[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f]/[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Pandora[/name_f]
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]/[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]/[name_f]Rosamond[/name_f]/[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Ursula[/name_f]

[name_f]My[/name_f] very, very favourites of these:
[name_f]Agatha[/name_f], [name_f]Esther[/name_f], [name_f]Helena[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Susannah[/name_f], [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] and [name_f]Ursula[/name_f].

These would all make wonderful sibsets, but I think these would be especially nice:
[name_f]Agatha[/name_f] and [name_f]Esther[/name_f]
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f] and [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] and [name_f]Ursula[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] and [name_f]Helena[/name_f]

The only name I wouldn’t pick is [name_f]Lilith[/name_f], because of the connotations, but most people probably won’t realise that, and it is still a beautiful name. Other than that, I really can’t nit pick, they are all lovely names that will age well and are quite lovely. That probably wasn’t much help, but I don’t think you need too much help, when you have all those wonderful names.

I’m particularly in love with [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_f]Esther[/name_f] and [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] :slight_smile:

The rest of your list is lovely, the only ones I am reluctant to like are:
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] - the nn [name_f]Trixie[/name_f] sounds too Southern compared to the more elegant [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] - ‘silly [name_f]Cecelia[/name_f]’ comes to mind
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] - I think of the word ‘daft’
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] - I don’t really like feminizations and this one is all [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] to me
[name_f]Pandora[/name_f] - although there is great history to this name, it feels to special and maybe over the top?

Many pretty vintage names on your list :slight_smile: My favorites for first names are noted as 10s as follows: Grace, Hazel, Saffron, Lucinda, Margot, Pandora, Rosalind, Rose and Violet.

The 9s & 8s I think are lovely as middles: Jemima, Pearl, Flora, Miranda, Alice, Belle, Hannah, Helena, Susannah, Victoria, Josephine.

The 7s are nice…but not on my child.

The 6s are okay.

The 5s are names I wouldn’t consider for my daughter and seemed more dated than vintage…however, they were fine for others…

And Edith, Esther & Lavinia are just NMS.

Finally, Lilith gets a 0 as it has a diabolical meaning thus not suitable for any baby.

Alice - 8
Audrey - 6
Beatrix - 7

Such a pretty list you have there! I love [name_f]Belle[/name_f], [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f], [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] & [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] & [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]. And I don’t think I’d use these names myself, but I’d still love to meet a little [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], [name_f]Esther[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Helena[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Jemima[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_f]Pandora[/name_f], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Saffron[/name_f], [name_f]Susannah[/name_f], [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] or [name_f]Victoria[/name_f].

[name_f]Agatha[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Edith[/name_f] and [name_f]Ursula[/name_f] are too “old lady” for me, while [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f] and [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] feel dated in the way that I only know women in their 40’s with these names. [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] feel a bit plain to me compared to some of the other, longer names on your list, and so do [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] and [name_f]Hannah[/name_f]. And I’ve just never seen the appeal of [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Rosamond[/name_f] or [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]. But overall I do really like your list!

[name_u]Love[/name_u] your list ^^
These are all either on my list, or would have been if not for popularity, or might be once I sort through the ‘might add’ portion of my list!
[name_f]Agatha[/name_f] - I’m not too fond of [name_f]Aggie[/name_f] though, I have [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] as a nickname for this one.
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f] - Sadly too popular. I have tried replacing it with [name_f]Audra[/name_f], but it’s just not the same…
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Edie[/name_f]!
[name_f]Esther[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] - [name_f]Nell[/name_f] is just wonderful!
[name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] - Although I recently realised I like the [name_f]Margo[/name_f] spelling more.
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] - Sadly too popular also.
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]/[name_f]Rosamond[/name_f] - I only just switched out long time love [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] with [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] is more joyful.
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]

Like, but have some hesitations:
[name_f]Belle[/name_f] - A bit insubstantial?
[name_f]Pandora[/name_f] - I like the history with this one, but I don’t like the -dora part and I don’t like the [name_m]Pan[/name_m]-part so I never like more than the idea of it.
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] - Sort of dull, [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] is more fun. Other -lia names are also more intriguing, like [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] or [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] or [name_f]Eulalia[/name_f].
[name_f]Lilith[/name_f] - I like the sound, but the biblical connection is a little hard to overcome. [name_f]Lilias[/name_f] or [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] would be right at home on your list!
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] - Hardly gets any attention but is still well used. I find it a little plain.
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] - [name_f]Margot[/name_f] is so much more interesting. I like [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], but she feels like a compromise.
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] - [name_f]Lovely[/name_f], but seems reduced to a middle name. Also feels typical, expected. Everyone loves roses.
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f] - I used to love [name_f]Susannah[/name_f], but after saying it out loud a couple of times I realised I only like the idea of [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] - I love spunky [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f], but [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] seems quite frumpy to be honest.
— I think several of these names are not doing it for me because they’re typical ‘good-girl’ names. I associate them with someone obedient, someone who does what she’s told and what’s expected of her, someone without much personality. ([name_f]Lydia[/name_f], [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f], [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]). Some good-girl names are on my lists as well, [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f] and [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]. However, I love [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] because of a song, [name_f]Nora[/name_f] because of a play and I think any girl named [name_f]Jane[/name_f] will surprise people, simply because of how the name [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is percieved by most people. The ones on this list I have less associations with, hence the hesitance.

Not fond of (some more good-girl (GG) names here!):
[name_f]Miranda[/name_f] - I only see crazy, loner, librarian, big-glasses, cat-lady with this one.
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f] (GG) - [name_f]My[/name_f] worst best friend chose this name for herself, it’s forever tainted for me. Also victory is one of the things I think has too much value in our society.
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] - Very berry-chic, all the name-nerds love [name_f]Jemima[/name_f].
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] (GG) - See [name_f]Jemima[/name_f], I also see Violent. [name_f]Violeta[/name_f] is more blithe.
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] (GG) - See [name_f]Jemima[/name_f].
[name_f]Saffron[/name_f] - I don’t like the sound. It’s always felt too boy-ish for a girl.
[name_f]Lucille[/name_f] (GG) - It always felt sharp, piercing, spiky to me.
[name_f]Lucinda[/name_f] - I struggle with the -inda names! Also a name-nerd name.
[name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] (GG) - Can’t help but think of the mean girl in ‘A [name_m]Little[/name_m] [name_f]Princess[/name_f]’.
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] - Again, not fond of the sound. I think f-in-the-middle is a sound I struggle to appreciate.
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] (GG) - Much the same as [name_f]Margaret[/name_f].
[name_f]Ursula[/name_f] - If it’s any kind of pretty, it’s ugly-pretty. Not making the cut in my opinion…
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] - See [name_f]Jemima[/name_f].
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] (GG) - Also see [name_f]Jemima[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] (GG, the ultimate good-girl!)
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f] - too common
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] (GG) - Along with [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], berry-favourites.
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] - The sweetest, most people-pleasing of the [name_f]Rose[/name_f]-names, [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosamond[/name_f] are much better!
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] - [name_m]Just[/name_m] feels strange, plucked out of nowhere. Used to be a berry-favourite.
