[name_f]My[/name_f] husband and I can’t agree. His taste in girl names is less traditional than mine and I’m trying to find where we meet. He likes: [name_f]Freya[/name_f], [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], and [name_f]Annika[/name_f]. I like: [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Ann[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. [name_m]Can[/name_m] you help us find the middle ground? We both like names that end in a and our other kids are [name_f]Cleodora[/name_f], [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] and [name_f]Eliana[/name_f]. We also typically go for names that are long and have nicknames (Cleo, [name_m]Freddy[/name_m], Ellie).

I absolutely love [name_f]Anaclara[/name_f] (although I think I would double barrel it cuz I love that Anna-Clara) and [name_f]Annalisa[/name_f]. That was actually my 5 year old’s suggestion! [name_f]Luella[/name_f] is adorable. [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] and [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] just might make it onto our list. Maylea is an interesting mix of the [name_f]Leah[/name_f] names I like and the [name_f]Esme[/name_f] he likes… I wonder if he’d go for it! Thank you for the list and nicknames.
Thank you for including the nicknames. Helps me see them better.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you think [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] could be used in every day American life? It’s so beautiful but it feels so grand to me. [name_m]Or[/name_m] just very Russian haha
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] is going on my list. [name_f]Helena[/name_f] is on my list but DH isn’t sold.
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] is one of my all time favs but we can’t use it [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Celestina[/name_f] is beautiful but [name_f]Celestine[/name_f] is a super common last name where we live. [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] is gorgeous and going on my list.
Where are you (broadly) that [name_f]Celestine[/name_f] popular( out of curiosity?
[name_f][/name_f]
Btw, I saw you’re comment re [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] and I definitely see it as usable [name_f][/name_f]- I should have suggested it as fits into the romantic and ethereal vibe of all you’ve names. I love [name_f]Anoushka[/name_f] myself but perhaps that is “too” Russian.
[name_f][/name_f]
Others: [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] (nn Tibby), [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] (Rosie), [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] (Romy), [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f] (Polly), [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f], [name_f]Cressida[/name_f], [name_f]Paloma[/name_f], [name_f]Marceline[/name_f], [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] (maybe too close to others?), and [name_f]Vienna[/name_f].
I think so. It ranked #166[name_f][/name_f] in the charts in 2024 [name_f][/name_f]- and to put that in perspective, it ranks similarly to [name_f]Isabel[/name_f], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_f]Arya[/name_f], [name_f]Piper[/name_f], [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Katherine[/name_f], [name_f]Freya[/name_f] and [name_m]Oakley[/name_m]
I think some of these could overlap in style already [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], and [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], for example, feel very cohesive to me. [name_f][/name_f] Along those lines, what about:
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] or [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Mira[/name_f] or [name_f]Mirabella[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Theresa[/name_f] (maybe nn [name_f]Tess[/name_f]? [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Theresa[/name_f] feels like you, [name_f]Tess[/name_f] like him?)

[name_f]Katharina[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] or [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Celestina[/name_f] is beautiful but [name_f]Celestine[/name_f] is a super common last name where we live. [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] is gorgeous and going on my list.
