Unique and Magical Middles Wanted (for Alice)

Girl Names
1

Some of you may know that I posted a while back about my love affair with [name]Alice[/name] (specifically [name]Alice[/name] Everleigh!) Well the most exciting thing has happened: My husband, who has only volunteered two names in our relationship to date, texted me at work out of the blue saying “[name]Alice[/name] would be a good name.” !!! I am so excited :slight_smile: I’ve never told him that [name]Alice[/name] is my favorite name for a girl, so to find out that he likes it as much as I do is a huge relief!

[name]Alice[/name] Everleigh is still my favorite combo, but I have not gotten very positive feedback on it. So this is your chance to top it! I’m open to suggestions from all over the map, but I tend towards whimsical, magical, fantastical names such as Sabriel, [name]Ophelia[/name], [name]Narnia[/name], etc. Boy names my husband and I like are [name]Zion[/name] [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Solomon[/name] [name]Fable[/name], and [name]Caspian[/name] (middle TBD). I realize that in comparison [name]Alice[/name] seems fairly tame, so I’d like something to dramatize her a bit. I’d hate for a little [name]Alice[/name] to feel out of place in the sibset, because even though she’s just as fantastical as the others (explorer of Wonderland, clairvoyant vampire, and badass psychic zombie-slayer not the least among her name sakes), [name]Alice[/name] herself is much more of a mainstream name.

I can’t wait to see what suggestions you guys come up with! <3

Wow, so many imaginative responses!

blade – I’m loving [name]Gwyneira[/name]!! I also really like [name]Nephele[/name], [name]Signe[/name], and Illythia. [name]Eirian[/name], [name]Nereida[/name], Chryseis, Loviatar, and Lunete are all beautiful, but I am afraid that Husband will find them too obscure (I fear that with Illythia and [name]Gwyneira[/name] as well but I like them so much I’ll risk it!). I love [name]Astraea[/name], but I feel like [name]Alice[/name] [name]Astraea[/name] is very hissy. [name]Melisande[/name] is a beautiful name, but I will always associate her with [name]Jacqueline[/name] [name]Carey[/name]'s beautiful but heartless villainess. I’m on the fence about [name]Rhiannon[/name]. And while I absolutely love [name]Aravis[/name] in the Chronicles of [name]Narnia[/name], her name always makes me think of avarice.

dannikelli - Illyria is one of my favorite names, and [name]Alice[/name] Illyria is very silky feeling. I like! [name]Love[/name] the imagery of [name]Ondine[/name], but not the sound. [name]Seraphine[/name]/[name]Seraphina[/name] is gorgeous and definitely going on my girls’ list, but I’m not sure about the flow with [name]Alice[/name], given the two S sounds back to back. [name]Araminta[/name] is darling, but I’m not sure Hubs will go for it. [name]Alice[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] is another favorite…[name]Ophelia[/name] has been in my shortlist for a while!

mischa - I love that your suggestions are all over the map in style, feel, and sound! [name]Persephone[/name] is stunning, but one of my dearest friends has loved it for decades, so I could never steal it. [name]Avalon[/name] and Avonlea are GPs for me, as my husband has this thing against place names. Galadriel is another one he would veto, though I can’t help but be attracted to the thought…she is so powerful and ethereal, exactly the imagery I go for. [name]Primrose[/name] is too cute, but so associated with Hunger Games right now. I am LOVING Lumière, [name]Delphine[/name], Endellion, and [name]Winter[/name]. I’m on the fence about Miniver and [name]Mireille[/name]. The former I want to like, but it’s so close to [name]Minerva[/name], and I feel like that’s a heavier name than I want to pair with [name]Alice[/name]. The latter I have no idea how to pronounce >_>

irmgard+theodorian - I love Eirlys, but isn’t it too similar to [name]Alice[/name] in sound? [name]Ophelia[/name] I adore, and [name]Alice[/name] [name]Viola[/name] sounds lovely :slight_smile:

whirligig - [name]Ivy[/name] is my favorite of your suggestions. [name]Alice[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] is darling, but I think I want something longer.

Thank you all so much for your feedback! Keep your amazing suggestions coming :slight_smile:

Oh my gosh, Otter, I freaking [name]LOVE[/name] Faerydae @_@ Is there a more darling whimsical name in the world?? Now to win over Hubby…dun dun duuuuuuun…

tarah_e - [name]Alice[/name] [name]Oriel[/name] is gorgeous! It seems to flow together into one long melodic sound, which is what I loved so much about [name]Alice[/name] Everleigh.

Thank you both for the suggestions!

Mondfee (moon fairy)
Perizada (born to the fairies)

lizabethrose - I’m personally not keen on [name]Pandora[/name], partly because of the Box, and partly because it’s a more consonant heavy name than I tend to go for. I love [name]Winter[/name] though! Other favorites from your list are [name]Snow[/name], [name]Evelina[/name], [name]Meadow[/name], and [name]Elowen[/name]. [name]Alice[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] sounds amazing, but I’m teetering on the fence with that one because I’m so in love with my other [name]Ophelia[/name] combo :slight_smile:

littleredone - [name]Euphemia[/name] and [name]Kerensa[/name] are lovely, but my favorite of your suggestions is [name]Seraphine[/name]!! I like the idea of [name]Sojourner[/name], but the name itself is a little clunky sounding.

otter - I love the meaning of Faerydae too! I’m not sure if it will help with Hubs…He vetoed [name]Oberon[/name] for a boy because of the whole king of the fairies bit :frowning: So interesting that Feeorin is on your list!!! Hubby used to call me that when we met, and I never knew what it meant! Pherenice and Fifinella are darling. I love Ayperi on paper and the meaning is precious, but I’m a wee bit concerned about the “ape” sound. Amazing out-of-the-box ideas, as usual!

Thank you all for your continued suggestions! You’re giving me some delightful ideas ^-^

Feeorin is cuuuuuute! It’s adorable that your hubs called you that! Feeorins are small fairies that are indicated as being, green-coated, generally red-capped, and with the usual fairy traits of love of dancing and music.
