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:
what names would you suggest to fit the criteria?
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!
and a quick (anonymous) poll:
Which of Jadis’s options do you think work best for her criteria?
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]
@EagleEyes[name_f][/name_f] these are brilliant ideas [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Giada[/name_f], [name_f]Leonine[/name_f], [name_f]Atalanta[/name_f], and [name_f]Valkyrie[/name_f] are my favourites (and good call about that thread!!)
