I’m going to guess from your screen name (maam = mammy) and the selection of [name]Aoife[/name] that you’re in [name]Ireland[/name]?
With a one-syllable surname that I will call [name]Shea[/name], I think a longer first name (2+ syllables will pair best). Which means [name]Maeve[/name] and [name]Pearl[/name] should be moved to the middle spot.
[name]Agnes[/name] (nn [name]Aggie[/name]): quite like [name]Agnes[/name]. I know it gets reactions from raised eyebrows to howls from the unenlightened… I mean, the majority of people, but I think it’s beautiful and dignified.
[name]Aoife[/name] (prn. ee-fa): very popular in [name]Ireland[/name] now. Outside of [name]Ireland[/name] you would still run into pronunciation issues, but again it’s a beautiful Gaelic name that luckily sounds a lot like [name]Eva[/name]/[name]Ava[/name] and pairs well with most things.
[name]Ballou[/name]: I have never heard this name; I tried to google it and look it up on babynames websites to no avail. My gut reaction is not to lie it-- I think the -lou ending it tough, but “ball” in the front kills it. It sounds a lot like balloon and would be rife for teasing.
[name]Bijou[/name]: ‘jewel’ in French, but far too cutesy for my taste. I think you have better options.
[name]Billie[/name]: do not care for this nickname. It’s a 1920s trend-- take a man’s name, swap the -y for an -i or an -ie, and voila! instant “modern” girls’ name. Again, with beauties like [name]Aoife[/name], [name]Agnes[/name], [name]Elke[/name], [name]Pearl[/name], etc I couldn’t possibly endorse choosing it.
[name]Circe[/name] (prn. Sur-see)-- this is a Greek witch from the Odyssey. She was kind of a bad guy, and her name was pronounced keer-kuh. Only Spanish-speaking people pronounce it seer-suh. Either way, I think it’s open to mispronunciation and the evil namesake kills it for me.
[name]Dagny[/name] ( I think this is cute, but it might be a little much?)-- I think [name]Dagney[/name] / [name]Dagny[/name] is an inspired choice! A very dignified name with a modern -y ending. It means “new day”-- what a symbolic name for a new baby!
[name]Elke[/name]/[name]Elka[/name]- beautiful, rare and refreshing. I love it.
[name]Franca[/name]/[name]Franka[/name] - I think it’s a little better than [name]Frankie[/name], and it’s got a certain exotic allure, but it’s not my favorite.
[name]Frida[/name]/[name]Frieda[/name]- still not ready for resurrection, imo
[name]Lilou[/name]- this is more of a term of endearment than a full name. I know it’s very popular in [name]France[/name], but it’s drawn a lot of criticism there for being insubstantial. Would much prefer [name]Dagny[/name], [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Aoife[/name], [name]Agnes[/name], [name]Elke[/name], etc.
Loie-- this is the name of a dancer, which started as a joke. Are you saying it low-ee? My preference would be for one of your more recognizable names, with stronger sounds. Low-ee just sound like [name]Lilou[/name], kind of babytalk, you know?
[name]Maeve[/name] ([name]Mae[/name])-- the Irish classic. Beautiful and dignified, with rich sounds. Would definitely save for the middle.
[name]Minerva[/name] ([name]Minnie[/name])-- a heavy name for a young girl, but certainly formal and venerable.
[name]Pearl[/name]-- it’s a gentle vintage classic; I don’t think it will be ultra-fashionable due to the -earl ending. But it’s pretty and rather demure.
[name]Suki[/name]/[name]Sukey[/name]-- do not care for this at all. It’s an old nickname for [name]Susan[/name], trendy now because of [name]True[/name] Blood, but I just hear ‘pukey.’
[name]Sunday/name– also not a favorite of mine. I don’t like using everyday words for names (I know I contradict myself a bit with [name]Pearl[/name]). I think [name]Dagny[/name] is far preferable and much more interesting. Also, everyone will think you named your daughter after [name]Nicole[/name] Kidman’s kid.
