not me spending way too much time on this
[name_f]Adalet[/name_f] – such a gorgeous [name_f]Ada[/name_f]- variation! It’s almost like a combo of [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f], two elegant, beautiful names. Plus it means justice!
[name_f]Adelfia[/name_f] – if people like [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] and [name_f]Delphine[/name_f], why not [name_f]Adelfia[/name_f]? It’s so melodic and sweet, plus it means beloved sister.
[name_f]Ainara[/name_f] – somehow sounds bold and delicate at once.
[name_f]Alyona[/name_f] – strong and gorgeous, means bright, shining light.
[name_f]Amabel[/name_f] – fresher than [name_f]Annabel[/name_f], with a sweet meaning of lovable.

[name_f]Aysel[/name_f] – delicately fairylike, meaning moon flood.
[name_f]Casiphia[/name_f] – people love [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] and [name_m]Casper[/name_m], and [name_f]Casiphia[/name_f] is the natural next step.
[name_f]Elenoa[/name_f] – combines elements of multiple NB favorites yet is largely unheard of, has a sweet, breezy, summery sound, and means bright, shining light.
[name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] – has elements from [name_f]Fiona[/name_f], [name_f]Flora[/name_f], and [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], and means little flower
[name_f]Florencia[/name_f] – like [name_u]Florence[/name_u] but with more passion behind it!
[name_f]Genoveva[/name_f] – a more elegant, lively version of [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]!
[name_f]Ismerie[/name_f] – a fresh update of both [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] and [name_u]Marie[/name_u], with a softly mystical sound.
[name_f]Jumana[/name_f] – a twist on all the [name_m]Jun[/name_m]- names with the same summery lightness and joy, meaning silver pearl.
[name_f]Lilaea[/name_f] – a [name_f]Lily[/name_f] variant with a gentle yet energetic sound.
[name_f]Lulani[/name_f] – a sweet, vivacious alternative to [name_f]Lulu[/name_f] and [name_f]Leilani[/name_f], meaning sky!
[name_f]Marcelia[/name_f] – a still-strong, extra-elegant variant of the charming [name_f]Marceline[/name_f].
Martzela – youthful and energetic, a unique [name_u]Mar[/name_u]- name.
[name_f]Rosaura[/name_f] – a gorgeous, soft [name_f]Rose[/name_f] variant meaning golden rose.
[name_f]Roselore[/name_f] – a bold, mysterious [name_f]Rose[/name_f] variant meaning bright rose.
[name_f]Sereia[/name_f] – beautifully melodic, meaning mermaid!
[name_f]Theora[/name_f] – a tailored, sophisticated yet youthful [name_u]Theo[/name_u] variant.
[name_f]Zaltana[/name_f] – a lovely, strong-sounding name meaning high mountain.
[name_f]Ziazan[/name_f] – a zippy, unique name meaning rainbow!
[name_f]Jessica[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Constance[/name_f], Ness, [name_f]Marianne[/name_f], [name_f]Marielle[/name_f], [name_f]Dalila[/name_f] (da-lee-luh)
Basically every name on my list, but here are a few that are on my mind:
[name_f]Providence[/name_f]
[name_f]Bethel[/name_f]
[name_f]Emerald[/name_f]
[name_f]Philomena[/name_f]
[name_f]Primrose[/name_f]
[name_f]Mehetabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Jocasta[/name_f]
Émerence
[name_f]Zuleika[/name_f]
[name_f]Eos[/name_f]
[name_f]Esclarmonde[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosemonde[/name_f]
[name_f]Undine[/name_f] & [name_f]Ondine[/name_f]
[name_f]Tosca[/name_f]
[name_f]Joy[/name_f] and [name_f]Irene[/name_f] haven’t been mentioned yet
I love [name_f]Tosca[/name_f]! It is on my Italian lists (which tend to be the most realistic too, since I live in [name_f]Italy[/name_f] so they will be the easiest to pronounce and write!)
Liberty
[name_f]Joy[/name_f] and [name_f]Irene[/name_f] are both really lovely names, I associate them with [name_u]Red[/name_u] [name_f]Velvet[/name_f], especially when paired together but that’s positive for me!
(FYI: [name_u]Red[/name_u] [name_f]Velvet[/name_f] is a kpop group and [name_f]Joy[/name_f] and [name_f]Irene[/name_f] are members of that group)
Here on nb it seems to be loved to a certain extent but irl and on the popularity charts I feel like its underrated, [name_f]Faith[/name_f] (aka my most recent love if you’ve been following my posts )
Our son and his wife narrowed their recent baby girl names down to [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Valerie[/name_f]. They chose [name_f]Clara[/name_f] (after me and Nutcracker), but I loved seeing [name_f]Valerie[/name_f] highly considered. If [name_f]Clara[/name_f] has a sister in the future, her name will be [name_f]Valerie[/name_f].
Perplexing to me since the long-ago beginnings of my name obsession that names like Alexandra, Elizabeth, Victoria are steadfast but names that sound similar never are.
I’d like to see more variations of traditional male names in feminine form.
Alberta/Albertine, Josepha, Thomasina/e, Daniela, Theodora, Henrietta, Harriet, Allena/Alana, Lawrencia, etc.
I think Joy is as good or better as a filler mn than Hope, Grace.
