Uninspired - please help.

[system]

I’ve been really uninspired in the name department lately. I need a boost, so based on my described style, could you just throw a bunch at me to sift through?

My girls style tends to be over-the-top frilly, usually longer names.Things that are very uncommon, some unheard of completely (though still manage to have roots and not just randomly made-up) My angels name doesn’t really reflect my own naming style per-say. [name]Felicity[/name] does because she’s been my favorite name for ages (though I do think it is rising popularity and that saddens me a bit), but [name]Aria[/name] and [name]Elspeth[/name] were chosen for very specific reasons.

I have a few running through my head at the moment, to kind of give you an idea of my style…

[name]Ottilie[/name]
Lilevi (lil-ah-vee)
[name]Evangelina[/name]
[name]Galatea[/name]
Sunniva
[name]Kerensa[/name]
Annevieve (anna-veev, or more similar to the french pronunciation of [name]Genevieve[/name]…)
[name]Cordelia[/name] - a lot more mainstream than the rest, but I’ve always loved her…

[system]

[name]Felicity[/name] [name]Aria[/name] [name]Elspeth[/name] is beauuuuutiful!! Wow!
Out of your list I love [name]Galatea[/name] (nn [name]Galla[/name]) [name]Genevieve[/name] (nn [name]Gen[/name] or [name]Ginny[/name]) and [name]Cordelia[/name] (nn [name]Lia[/name] or [name]Cordy[/name])

Svea- I love the letter V, in Sunniva and the potential nickname [name]Sunny[/name] is adorable.

[name]Lola[/name] - You brought up [name]Ottoline[/name]. I Can’t decide whether [name]Ottilie[/name] should be a stand alone name, or as a nickname for [name]Ottoline[/name]. I love both, but I almost feel like I love the ee sound at the end of [name]Ottilie[/name], but that also makes me feel like it wont age as well. I’m over thinking this, lol. Thank you for the list, it was a big help.

[system]

You’re welcome, flick! I’ve always thought [name]Ottoline[/name] was the nickname for [name]Ottilie[/name], myself. But [name]Ottoline[/name] Mor®ell (I forget how her last name was spelled), wore [name]Ottoline[/name] herself as a full name. You can google her, what an interesting life she led.

I too waffled between [name]Ottoline[/name] & [name]Ottilie[/name], but ultimately settled on [name]Ottilie[/name] as lighter, more feminine and easier to live with. [name]Ottilie[/name] & [name]Jemima[/name] are fighting it out in our house for the #1 spot should this one be a girl! (he wants O & I want J)

So, I honestly think it’s all in which sound/style you prefer, rounder, heavier & lusher or lighter, airier & delicate. Your choice! (I think both could work).

[system]

I’ve never heard of her, but I’ll definitely be googleing her. Its nice to see some of the more obscure(at least in the us) names I like being worn by a real person. For some reason it makes it a bit more usable.

And I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Ottilie[/name] and [name]Jemima[/name]! Thats a tough call, either way, she will be a well named child.

Right now I think I’m loving the lighter feel of [name]Ottilie[/name], though. I also think a lot more of my preferred middles go well with it. ([name]Ottilie[/name] [name]Evangelina[/name] is what I’m loving right now)
