We have just found out that we’re expecting twin girls. My partner (and I) agreed on the name Nahanni long ago (he’s from [name_f]Canada[/name_f] and that’s a river/national park there). But we’re struggling to match it with another names. I mostly like old grandma names [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f], [name_f]Edith[/name_f], [name_f]Maude[/name_f], [name_f]Philippa[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f] although I also like [name_f]Luna[/name_f] and [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]. But I’m not sure any of them go with Nahanni? We don’t want a name starting with N or H, and are pretty outdoorsy. Any suggestions for us out there? [name_f]TIA[/name_f]
Nahanni is really interesting, I like it! It’s very similar to a favourite of mine, Tehani
Ideas:
[name_f]Imala[/name_f]
[name_f]Alaska[/name_f]
[name_f]Kateri[/name_f]
[name_f]Kiona[/name_f]
[name_u]Tahoe[/name_u] - means “edge of the lake” which fits nicely with Nahanni’s river meaning
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] - “leaping water” again, meaning fits nicely
[name_f]Amita[/name_f]
Alamea
Auli’i
[name_f]Malia[/name_f]
I’ve actually been in/on this river. It’s beautiful.
Nahanni is a big name. I can see why you are struggling to match it. I don’t think that any of the names you’ve mentioned fit with it.
You’ve said you are both outdoor/nature people so I think you should go that way or think of other place names or even a park from Australia (if I’m interpreting you siggy correctly)
Here’s a few I’ve thought of:
[name_f]Oceana[/name_f]
Koreelah - Australian National [name_m]Park[/name_m]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f] - related to Nahanni
Thanks guys for your replies, these suggestions are great! I especially love [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] but wonder if it might be a mouthful when I say both names together? I have been thinking about [name_f]Thea[/name_f] or [name_f]Lena[/name_f], what do you think about those?
What first came to my mind was Bindi. So it feels like an Australian name to me (I’m sure it’s of different origin being a river in [name_f]Canada[/name_f]). It’s also very nature related. Those were my inspiration points for the suggestions.
Here are some other suggestions:
[name_f]Gaia[/name_f]
[name_f]Camira[/name_f]
Iluka
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Tennille[/name_f]
[name_f]Evelina[/name_f]
Wylla/[name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_f]Leda[/name_f]
[name_f]Chiara[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_u]Lyric[/name_u]
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f]
