"unique enough for other people to ask, "Your name is what?"

Hi Berries

On this weeks Let Us Name Your Baby feature, Sophie is actually Jadis, who is looking for new name ideas for herself.

She’d originally picked Jadis, but a negative literary association and some negative reactions from loved ones are making her reconsider.

Jadis wants a name fits this criteria:

  • unique enough for other people to ask, “Your name is what?”
  • but not so unique that people comment it’s weird or bad
  • names that fit into the categories of “baddie”, French, or magical
  • names that start with Jade

She’s looking for first/middle combinations!

A few she’s considering (as first or middle names): Hypatia, Scheherazade/Scheherazot, Katniss/Katness, Seraphina/Séraphine, Ruqayyah

So, a couple of questions:

  1. what names would you suggest to fit the criteria?

  2. what first/middle combos would you create, using your suggestions, Jadis’s ideas or Sophie’s suggestions? feel free to include last names too, if you wish!

  3. and a quick (anonymous) poll:

Which of Jadis’s options do you think work best for her criteria?
  • Jadis
  • Hypatia
  • Scheherazade
  • Scheherazot
  • Katniss
  • Katness
  • Seraphina
  • Séraphine
  • Ruqayyah

I would suggest:
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Giada[/name_f] (not super-super unique, but Jade-related!)
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Persis[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Boudicca[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Perpetua[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]Thurayya
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Leonine[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Atalanta[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Jumana[/name_f] (not related to [name_f]Jade[/name_f], but starts with J and has a precious stone meaning of pearl)
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Valkyrie[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

Based on her list, I also think she may like some of the names mentioned on @AStudyIn_Scarlet[name_f][/name_f] 's recent “Divine Feminine Names” thread[name_f][/name_f]!
