Thoughts on these names?

I’m expecting a girl in late 2017. I started a thread a while ago about possible space-themed names I could use. I have a pretty general idea on what I would like to name my daughter when she is born, but my husband and I have come up with a few more possibilities.

Elodie
Ottilie
Juniper
Selene (middle name)
Serendipity
Zephyrine
Kalani
Calliope
Ascella
Zaniah

I know these names aren’t most peoples’ styles, suggestions welcome.

I like [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] and [name_f]Selene[/name_f].

I adore [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]. It goes off and on my top 10 list but I think I would only use it as a middle name.

I like [name_f]Elodie[/name_f], [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], [name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f] and [name_f]Calliope[/name_f].

Other ideas:

[name_f]Juno[/name_f]
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
[name_f]Seraphine[/name_f]
[name_f]Octavia[/name_f]
[name_f]Olympia[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Serenity[/name_f]

I absolutely love the name [name_f]Calliope[/name_f]! It’s on my short list!

Wow, I love so many of the names on your list! Besides [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] and [name_f]Serendipity[/name_f], I really love them all! [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] and [name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f] really stand out to me. [name_f]Ascella[/name_f] and [name_f]Zaniah[/name_f] also sounds very beautiful. Maybe you’ve considered some of these, most, if not all have some kind of space connection-

[name_f]Adhara[/name_f]
[name_f]Alula[/name_f]
[name_f]Ambrosia[/name_f]
[name_u]Artemis[/name_u]
[name_f]Astra[/name_f]
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Callisto[/name_f]
[name_u]Calypso[/name_u]
[name_f]Capella[/name_f]
[name_f]Carina[/name_f]
[name_f]Celestia[/name_f]
[name_u]Columba[/name_u]
[name_f]Cressida[/name_f]
[name_f]Desdemona[/name_f]
[name_f]Elara[/name_f]
[name_f]Estella[/name_f]
[name_f]Estrella[/name_f]

[name_f]Talitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Twila[/name_f]
[name_f]Zosma[/name_f]

I really like [name_f]Elodie[/name_f], [name_u]Kalani[/name_u] and [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f], but [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] is my favourite, by far. Have you considered [name_f]Serenity[/name_f]?

[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] - ok, cute
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] - not attractive
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] - I like this one
[name_f]Selene[/name_f] (middle name) - good for first name too.
[name_f]Serendipity[/name_f] - I would go with [name_f]Serenity[/name_f] instead. The dipity part doesn’t sound great to me.
[name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f] - ok
[name_u]Kalani[/name_u] - ok
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f] - I like it.
[name_f]Ascella[/name_f] - not my taste
[name_f]Zaniah[/name_f] - not my taste

My favorites are [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] and [name_f]Calliope[/name_f].

Good luck!

I really only like [name_f]Selene[/name_f], [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] and [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]. The others aren’t bad but for some I think will be a life time of your child having to explain how to pronounce and spell them. I have a name like that and it’s annoying on the best of days.

[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
[name_f]Selene[/name_f]
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f]

[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] - beautiful! [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] is so sweet and exotic, not used too much but becoming familiar
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] but she has a very aquired taste! She isn’t for everyone.
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] - I wouldn’t use it myself, but I think it’s adorable and [name_f]Junie[/name_f] is a sweet nickname!
[name_f]Selene[/name_f] (middle name) - I’d prefer it spelt [name_f]Celine[/name_f], but as a middle name I like it.
[name_f]Serendipity[/name_f] - too out there. [name_u]Seren[/name_u] is a lovely name and very popular here in [name_m]Wales[/name_m]. I’d maybe even push it to [name_f]Serenity[/name_f]. But [name_f]Serendipity[/name_f] is too much of a stretch for me.
[name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f] - far too out there for me sorry
[name_u]Kalani[/name_u] - I like this, its quite trendy though
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f] - sweet! And [name_f]Callie[/name_f] or [name_f]Calla[/name_f] are cute nicknames
[name_f]Ascella[/name_f] - I’m not a fan I’m afraid
[name_f]Zaniah[/name_f] - Not keen sorry.

I really like [name_f]Elodie[/name_f], [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f], [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], [name_f]Selene[/name_f] and [name_f]Calliope[/name_f]. [name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f] is striking.

I’m not sure how to pronounce [name_f]Ascella[/name_f] but unfortunately the spelling reminds me of the word “ass”.

Really love [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] and [name_f]Calliope[/name_f].

Other ideas that came to mind are [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] and [name_f]Cosima[/name_f].

I absolutely adore [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] and [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]! Also like [name_f]Selene[/name_f], [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] and [name_f]Serendipity[/name_f] as middle name options.

I love [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f], [name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f], [name_f]Selene[/name_f] (but would also suggest [name_f]Serena[/name_f], which I love), and [name_f]Calliope[/name_f].

I think you have some great ones to choose from!

Since you mentioned [name_f]Selene[/name_f] as a middle, [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Selene[/name_f] would be my pick from your list. Original enough but still recognizable. [name_f]Serendipity[/name_f] as a name kind of feels heavy, like a thick winter coat and bibs in the heat of summer - it’s just too much to carry. I agree with the previous poster’s suggestion or [name_f]Serenity[/name_f], even though it’s not my taste.

I love [name_f]Elodie[/name_f], [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] and [name_f]Calliope[/name_f]. All of them are so cute. :slight_smile:
