I’m 13 weeks pregnant and these are my favourites right now. I’d love to hear your thoughts on these names for a real baby girl. Which is your favourite, and what vibes do you get from them? [name_m]Feel[/name_m] free to suggest other names you think I might fall in love with. Thank you in advance!
allegra blythe
xanthe leonora
blythe cosima
alethea eyre
cleo spring
ianthe hero
I just have to say, [name_u]Cleo[/name_u] [name_f]Spring[/name_f] is darling! I really love this combo!
Maybe you’d like [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_u]Blythe[/name_u]?
I love [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] but I worry it’s too popular now. I’m not sure if I’d put [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] and [name_u]Blythe[/name_u] together (something about the repeating ‘b’ sounds) but I appreciate the suggestion, thank you!
Oh and thank you for the [name_u]Cleo[/name_u] [name_f]Spring[/name_f] love! It feels so fresh and sparkly to me. <3
allegra blythe - bright, lively and pretty! i know some people associate allegra with allergy meds though? i guess it depends where you are
xanthe leonora - sparky, sharp and elegant
blythe cosima - bright and magical
alethea eyre - distinctive, literary and interesting
cleo spring - so zippy and sparky
ianthe hero - beautiful and poetic!
[name_f]Ianthe[/name_f] [name_u]Hero[/name_u], [name_u]Cleo[/name_u] [name_f]Spring[/name_f] and [name_u]Blythe[/name_u] [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] are my favourites!

Oh my goodness, thank you, @Greyblue! I love hearing your thoughts on names and this feedback is so helpful.
I’ve seen others mention the allergy medication on here but I’m not in the States, so it doesn’t bother me. 
[name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] is absolutely stunning! In fact, I love all your suggestions! [name_u]Poet[/name_u] or [name_f]Poem[/name_f] as a middle name is a guilty pleasure of mine, and I love the sweetness of [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] and the elegance of [name_f]Ilaria[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]. 
I’m blown away by this thoughtful and kind feedback, @seawillow! Thank you so much. And please don’t apologise for the length! Seriously – this is so helpful.
Your poem sounds amazing and I’m desperate to read it! What a fantastic idea!
I don’t associate [name_f]Allegra[/name_f] with the allergy medication, thankfully, (and I don’t live in the States) but I understand that some people find the hard “g” sound unappealing. But I love how [name_u]Blythe[/name_u] balances it out with its sweetness and softness. I studied Italian at university and I’m a musician, so I love having those connections in the name. <3
I pronounce [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] “zan-thee.” It is quite important to me that the name isn’t too confounding to others, but I also don’t mind correcting people. I think [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] appeals to me because of the Italian connection (again!) and I love the nickname “Leo” for a girl, too. But I know it feels a little bit dusty to some.
I can’t believe I didn’t realise this, but [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] is Italian, too! 
Maybe that’s why I don’t find the pronunciation tricky. (Having said that, I don’t live in [name_f]Italy[/name_f], and I’m sure the name will be mispronounced where I am!) I need to think about how much I’m willing to correct people. . . I love [name_u]Blythe[/name_u] SO MUCH. It’s such a light, free name to me.
I love [name_f]Alethea[/name_f] [name_f]Eyre[/name_f], too! And [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Eyre[/name_f] is my favourite classic novel. I’ve read it so many times. I was also surprised and delighted at the meaning of [name_f]Eyre[/name_f]. [name_f]My[/name_f] one worry about [name_f]Alethea[/name_f] is the antiquated feel – does it feel too dusty and old-fashioned? [name_u]Or[/name_u] even a little pompous? I do love the “ee” sound and the nicknames [name_f]Lethe[/name_f] and [name_f]Leelee[/name_f]!
I think you’re right that [name_u]Cleo[/name_u] [name_f]Spring[/name_f] is the most modern-sounding. I’ve always loved [name_u]Cleo[/name_u] and I’m a bit sad it’s getting to be more popular now! But I also don’t want to not use a name just because it’s getting a bit more use. [name_f]Spring[/name_f] as a middle name just makes me feel so happy.
I love [name_f]Ianthe[/name_f] so much and, you’re right, I also worry about the wearability of it. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you pronounce it eye-AN-thee? I used to love ee-an-thee, but I’ve gathered from my research that eye-an-thee is more correct? That also worries me – that I might choose the wrong pronunciation. There’s so much to consider! [name_f]Ianthe[/name_f] [name_u]Hero[/name_u] is stunning, though. Although, maybe it’d be better for a character in a book than a real baby girl. . .
I adore [name_f]Belphoebe[/name_f] as a middle! It’s so whimsical and strong and beautiful. I think [name_f]Atalanta[/name_f] might be a little too much on the strong side for me, but I can see the appeal!
Thanks again for this thoughtful feedback! You’re given me a lot to think about.
I love [name_u]Cleo[/name_u] [name_f]Spring[/name_f] 
Oh, I absolutely love [name_u]Cleo[/name_u] [name_f]Spring[/name_f]! So perfect!
[name_f]Ianthe[/name_f] [name_u]Hero[/name_u] is also super cool, and I really like [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] but I’m not a huge fan of [name_u]Blythe[/name_u]
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite is [name_f]Allegra[/name_f] [name_u]Blythe[/name_u] but I would use:
[name_f]Allegra[/name_f] [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] / [name_f]Allegra[/name_f] [name_f]Cosima[/name_f]
I agree all your names make me think of faeries and floral nature. [name_f]Beautiful[/name_f] list and save any you don’t use for sisters as they compliment so well
Congratulations!!
[name_f]My[/name_f] thoughts on your names
[name_f]Allegra[/name_f] [name_u]Blythe[/name_u] ~ I actually love [name_f]Allegra[/name_f] she’s so elegant, bold, impactful, strong and distinguished. [name_f]Allegra[/name_f] stands out from the crowd and has a lovely melodic sound along with the beautiful meaning ‘joyous’. [name_u]Blythe[/name_u] is a lovely whimsical middle name I actually like that both names mean happy as it’s just a very subtle theme.
[name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] ~ gorgeous! [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] is such a happy bright name that feels sparky and majestic. [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] is beautiful such a strong melodic name and sounds gorgeous with [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f].
[name_u]Blythe[/name_u] [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] ~ love [name_u]Blythe[/name_u]! [name_u]Blythe[/name_u] is such a sweet whimsical name with the lovely happy connotation. I think [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] is very elegant but not my favourite.
[name_f]Alethea[/name_f] [name_f]Eyre[/name_f] ~ [name_f]Alethea[/name_f] is very majestic an incredibly powerful choice but she isn’t my style a bit too bold for me. [name_f]Eyre[/name_f] is interesting.
[name_u]Cleo[/name_u] [name_f]Spring[/name_f] ~ absolutely beautiful, beyond fun and full of spunky springtime energy. [name_u]Cleo[/name_u] is lovely but paired with [name_f]Spring[/name_f] is just delightful such a happy name.
[name_f]Ianthe[/name_f] [name_u]Hero[/name_u] ~ this feels straight out of an Arthurian legend honestly such a cool whimsical choice that feels enchanting and majestic.
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps
allegra blythe – I quite like this. I’ve always thought [name_f]Allegra[/name_f] was really pretty. I do worry about it with the allergy medicine out there now though. [name_u]Blythe[/name_u] isn’t a favorite, but I really like it in the flow of this combo.
xanthe leonora – I adore [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f]! I wish it would get more love. [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] is just okay to me. I’m not sure what I would put in a middle with [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] though. It’s just got such an amazing vibe.
blythe cosima – [name_u]Blythe[/name_u] is just okay to me, and for whatever reason I’ve never gotten [name_f]Cosima[/name_f].
alethea eyre – I hav a niece named [name_f]Alethea[/name_f] and I think it’s gorgeous. [name_f]Eyre[/name_f] is really unexpected with it, but I really like it a lot!
cleo spring – I have nothing against [name_u]Cleo[/name_u] at all, it just isn’t my style. I adore the name [name_f]Spring[/name_f]. I always wished I was gutsy enough to use it, but it’s definitely GP to me.
ianthe hero – Isn’t my style of name. I don’t know why I love [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f], but then the similar [name_f]Ianthe[/name_f] seems just really off to me. It sounds like made-up, even though I know it’s not. And while I know the history of the name [name_u]Hero[/name_u], it just seems too closely associated to the word hero to me, in a negative way that I can’t explain.
[name_f]Alethea[/name_f] [name_f]Spring[/name_f] is stunning! Same with [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Eyre[/name_f]
[name_f]My[/name_f] husband’s not sold on [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] as a first name, unfortunately. I think it’s great, though, and [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] [name_f]Belphoebe[/name_f] would be so precious.
[name_m]Altair[/name_m] is gorgeous, but not really my style for some reason. I know a woman named [name_f]Alta[/name_f], though, and I’ve always thought it was such a cool name!
Thanks again for your thoughts and input, @seawillow! <3
Thank you!! Fairies and floral nature is totally my vibe 
Thank you so much! <3 I totally agree with you about [name_f]Allegra[/name_f]. I feel like it’s such an underrated name. This feedback is super helpful!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, @Lieseysmom!
