I discovered this girl’s names a few months ago and would love your opinions! [name_f]Do[/name_f] they work on modern girls? Which are your favorites? Which do you dislike? What would you pair them with?
I like [name_f]Aurelie[/name_f], [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f], and [name_f]Nuala[/name_f], and think all could be usable although might require explaining pronunciation to people (also possible concern that [name_f]Aurelie[/name_f] is sort of similar to orally). Kinneret is also pretty but I would want to do some research on the cultural significance before using it.
[name_f]Aurelie[/name_f]- Absolutely usable. Similar to familiar names like [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] and [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] but with a little quirk.
Kirpa- What is the origin of this name? I feel a bit weird about using names of marginalized groups if you don’t belong to them b/c they tend to be treated differently. Otherwise I do like it. I think people will find it unfamiliar but its short and seems intuitive enough to pronounce.
Zarzia- Same issue with origin. This is cute and sparky! Definitely usable.
Atula- Same issue with origin. This one is fine but it doesn’t speak to me.
Kinneret- Ooh this is an interesting place name! I really like it. It’s cute but not “silly” and I think it’s just lovely. Definitely usable.
[name_f]Altalune[/name_f]- I don’t love the sound of this name it feels kind of clunky.
[name_f]Kassiani[/name_f]- I like this one! Very pretty and definitely usable. Has some similarities to [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] enough that people will see it as a name but its more unique.
[name_f]Suvi[/name_f]- I’ve seen this around NB so it seems like it’s getting some traction. Definitely usable today.
[name_f]Thessaly[/name_f]- I love this name. It’s a unique way to get in that Greek mythology feel while still being a place name.
[name_f]Taja[/name_f]- Same issue with origins. This is usable gives me similar feels to [name_u]Raja[/name_u]
Momoko- Same issue with origin. It might feel a bit too cutesy for me.
[name_f]Nuala[/name_f]- I love this name! It’s on my list. It’s not going to be intuitive for English speakers but it’s so pretty.
Faves are [name_f]Aurelie[/name_f], [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f], [name_f]Nuala[/name_f], and Kinneret.
[name_f]Aurelie[/name_f] is the only one I’d consider not unusual, due to it’s similarities to [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]. [name_f]Altalune[/name_f], [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] and [name_f]Nuala[/name_f] are nice too but I’m not a fan of the others.
