There’s a couple of outlying names that I can’t seem to make my mind up on, as to whether or not I’d like to keep them on my list.
What do you think of these?
[name_f]Vienna[/name_f]
[name_f]Libby[/name_f]
[name_f]Polly[/name_f]
[name_f]Sorcha[/name_f]
[name_f]Aine[/name_f]
[name_f]Saoirse[/name_f]
[name_f]Niamh[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Yasmin[/name_f]
[name_f]Robyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Lowri[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleri[/name_f]
Thanks!
I really like:
[name_f]Vienna[/name_f]
[name_f]Saoirse[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Niamh[/name_f]
[name_f]Aine[/name_f]
[name_f]Robyn[/name_f] (though prefer [name_u]Robin[/name_u])
[name_f]Vienna[/name_f] - It’s very distinctive. I think I could warm up to it.
[name_f]Libby[/name_f] - It’s cute but there’s something about the sound I just can’t get behind.
[name_f]Polly[/name_f] - I think it’s underrated and a very sweet name.
[name_f]Sorcha[/name_f] - Meaning is lovely but I don’t like the sound.
[name_f]Aine[/name_f] - I like it, it’s very whimsical, may have pronunciation issues, but a risk worth taking for some names.
[name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] - I love [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f]! You might run into pronunciation issues but maybe not as much considering the actress.
[name_f]Niamh[/name_f] - Not a fan of the sound at all. I think there are much prettier Irish names out there.
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] - I used to not like it, but I’m warming up to it. I prefer the old norse name [name_f]Maeva[/name_f] though.
[name_f]Yasmin[/name_f] - [name_f]Yasmin[/name_f] is super pretty.
[name_f]Robyn[/name_f] - I recently added [name_u]Robin[/name_u] to my list so I’m loving it right now.
[name_f]Lowri[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Lowri[/name_f], and I’ve met girls who wear it really well.
[name_f]Eleri[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u]! This is on my list as well.
[name_f]Vienna[/name_f] – I love it! I feel like its a great name if you like [name_f]Sienna[/name_f] but think its too popular. [name_f]Vienna[/name_f] is beautiful.
[name_f]Libby[/name_f] – I like it as a nickname, but I don’t know if I like it for a full name.
[name_f]Polly[/name_f] – I think it can grow on me. Very sweet.
[name_f]Sorcha[/name_f] – Not a huge fan of how it looks or how it sounds.
[name_f]Aine[/name_f] – I like how it looks, I like the meaning. I don’t know if I’m pronouncing it right, but I think its lovely.
[name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] – I love [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f]. Might have pronunciation issues, but with [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] becoming more and more popular, I think its usable.
[name_f]Niamh[/name_f] – I don’t love how it looks or how it sounds.
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] – [name_u]Love[/name_u] it! Sweet and classic.
[name_f]Yasmin[/name_f] –*Prefer [name_f]Jasmin[/name_f].
[name_f]Robyn[/name_f] – I prefer [name_u]Robin[/name_u], but I like it a lot.
[name_f]Lowri[/name_f] – I like it! Very sweet
[name_f]Eleri[/name_f] – A very nice name!
[name_f]Vienna[/name_f]- so gorgeous! I love [name_f]Siena[/name_f], so I love the sound of this as well. It’s distinctive but easy to say and spell
[name_f]Libby[/name_f]- it strikes me as kind of boring because I lump it together with all of the other nicknames for [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] that I’ve met in my life
[name_f]Polly[/name_f]- reminds me of [name_f]Polly[/name_f] Pockets. I bet it could grow on me if I met a little [name_f]Polly[/name_f]
[name_f]Sorcha[/name_f]- I prefer [name_u]Sasha[/name_u]… the sounds on this are too harsh for me
[name_f]Aine[/name_f]- I like the look and sound but I worry it will forever be mispronounced
[name_f]Saoirse[/name_f]- I really like [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f], and I don’t think it’s too out there in terms of pronunciation anymore. I still can’t spell it right on the first try though lol
[name_f]Niamh[/name_f]- really sweet name but I know a [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] who had only one teacher pronounce her name correctly on the first try throughout her entire schooling career
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]- love love love!! [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] has been my favorite girl name since 8th grade. I love everything about her. She’s sweet but spunky, easy to say and spell but also uncommon.
[name_f]Yasmin[/name_f]- sweet name, I like both this and [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f].
[name_f]Robyn[/name_f]- on a girl, this name (and especially this spelling) is super dated to me. Very 1980s, and sounds more like a mom name.
[name_f]Lowri[/name_f]- something about it sounds off to me and I can’t quite put my finger on it.
[name_f]Eleri[/name_f]- sweet name that I really want to like but it sounds like celery to me and I can’t get over it
I love…
[name_f]Libby[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Saoirse[/name_f], though expect spelling/pronunciation troubles
[name_u]Robin[/name_u], spelled like this
[name_f]Vienna[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Vienna[/name_f]! Distinctive, modern and sweet. Plus the place itself is beautiful so the name brings to mind great imagery.
[name_f]Libby[/name_f] - [name_f]Libby[/name_f]'s sweet, though I do prefer it as a nickname. Not bad!
[name_f]Polly[/name_f] - [name_f]Polly[/name_f] is a GP of mine, it seems as many people don’t like it but I love how cute sounds. Plus it’s a great alternative to [name_f]Molly[/name_f]. I don’t think of [name_f]Polly[/name_f] Pockets or parrots when I hear it.
[name_f]Sorcha[/name_f] - Not a fan. I know it’s probably not pronounced this way but looking at it I think shorts-a. If it’s pronounced sor-sha then I’m just not into the sound.
[name_f]Aine[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] love love [name_f]Aine[/name_f]! It’s criminally underated, and even better than [name_f]Anya[/name_f] in my opinion.
[name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] - NMS but there’s nothing wrong with it
[name_f]Niamh[/name_f] - Cute, though I’ve been meeting a lot of girls with this name lately
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] - Who on NB doesn’t love [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]? I mean it’s pretty and sounds great so I don’t blame them
[name_f]Yasmin[/name_f] - Not my cup of tea, [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] feels very 2000s to me so [name_f]Yasmin[/name_f] also feels kinda dated
[name_f]Robyn[/name_f] - I don’t like changing the spelling of nature names, and I do prefer this name on a boy
[name_f]Lowri[/name_f] - Is this pronouced like [name_f]Lori[/name_f]? If yes it also feels dated
[name_f]Eleri[/name_f] - Celery? Jokes aside, it’s not awful but I prefer the [name_u]Ellery[/name_u] spelling
[name_f]Vienna[/name_f]: I love this name. A lot. It is gentle yet bold, beautiful, and evocative.
[name_f]Libby[/name_f]: I like this name, but prefer it as a nickname.
[name_f]Polly[/name_f]: Extremely sweet and quirky, but a the parrot association is a bit of a turn-off for me!
[name_f]Sorcha[/name_f]: This is unique, strong, and bold, but I’m not quite sure I’m into the sound. A little clunky.
Saorise: I like this better than [name_f]Sorcha[/name_f], both for history and flow.
[name_f]Niamh[/name_f]: [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] name with Irish flair.
[name_f]Lowri[/name_f]/[name_f]Eleri[/name_f]: Interesting for sure, and with some great sounds, but I’m not sure I find them wearable/cohesive as names.
[name_f]Yasmin[/name_f]: While this is not a personal favorite of mine, it is meaningful, historical, and still quite beautiful.
[name_f]Robyn[/name_f]: I love this name. So sweet and lovely.
Now for the one I have quite a bit of insight on: [name_f]Aine[/name_f]! I am an [name_f]Aine[/name_f] in the United States, and while my name is frequently mispronounced, it tends to be an opportunity for conversation and an instant icebreaker in social situations. I really love my name and its meaning.
[name_f]Vienna[/name_f]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] the spunky yet feminine flair of this!
[name_f]Libby[/name_f] - Sweet nn, but I don’t love it as a stand along
[name_f]Polly[/name_f]- a sweet name, but I’m not sure if its ready for a revival yet.
[name_f]Sorcha[/name_f]- I much prefer [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f], though this might be more wearable with spelling.
[name_f]Aine[/name_f]- I’m not sure how to pronounce
[name_f]Saoirse[/name_f]-this is a guilty pleasure of mine. I love love love it. I know spelling is difficult, especially in the US.
[name_f]Niamh[/name_f]- same as Saorise
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]- Simple, underused beauty!
[name_f]Yasmin[/name_f]- I love the Yas-meen prounciation, recognizable, yet unusual almost exotic feel.
[name_f]Robyn[/name_f]- a little dated to my ears
[name_f]Lowri[/name_f] - not a fan.
[name_f]Eleri[/name_f]- not my favorite of the [name_f]El[/name_f]- names.
