What names do you love and why, and what about them makes you think… “I love it, but I can’t use it”? Or are your GP’s more so names that you are considering, but others don’t seem to share the same vision?
I think I’m in the middle on this one. Haha.
I love hearing about unusual names!!
My GP list?
[name_u]Neptune[/name_u]
No idea why, but there’s a restaurant in [name_f]Ca[/name_f]. called [name_u]Neptune[/name_u]'s Net that my parents would frequent growing up. Somehow I thought this would be a cute name for girl nevermind nn’s or how she’d wear this into adulthood. Besides, she’ll fit right in with fellow classmates [name_f]Apple[/name_f], Blanket and [name_f]Rainbow[/name_f] [name_f]Brite[/name_f]! Lol.
Novis
[name_f]Love[/name_f], love, love this name. It means “chasing butterflies.” I kind of like this one in the middle spot, simply because I can’t think of a daring name to follow it.
Dandelion
I love dandelions and what they represent. Dreams flying off into the wind… nn [name_u]Dani[/name_u]. I think this one is the least likely of a name to be reality. But I still think it’s precious!
[name_f]Whimsy[/name_f]
I just love how it sounds. I think it evokes the same feeling as [name_u]Waverly[/name_u], but I can’t seem to decide how I feel about [name_u]Waverly[/name_u]. lol.
[name_f]Canary[/name_f]
I’ve yet to receive any positive feedback on this one. [name_m]Even[/name_m] so, I still love this as a first name. A bold choice, I know. [name_m]Just[/name_m] can’t seem to get over it. And anyways, I don’t understand how [name_f]Canary[/name_f] is different from [name_f]Wren[/name_f], [name_f]Lark[/name_f], [name_u]Robin[/name_u], [name_u]Dove[/name_u] etc. I love the sound of nn Nary. Plus canary’s are yellow… my Momma’s fav color, hehe
Stevia
Different from [name_f]Honey[/name_f] or [name_f]Candy[/name_f]/[name_f]Candee[/name_f]. Nature name. And a nod to my Daddy, [name_m]Steven[/name_m]. Though, my mom actually likes this one so Stevia may not be totally off the table.
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] Poppins/[name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_m]Pippin[/name_m]
Hah, yes…seriously. I love [name_f]Mary[/name_f] Poppins, and thought of course it’d be too much for a kid to handle…but maybe a little tweaking and [name_m]Pippin[/name_m] could work instead? Hahaha. Idk. Perhaps it’d be a name I’d regret sooner or later.
I actually like [name_f]Canary[/name_f]. It’s melodic and looks like sunshine.
My GP’s of the moment are Stellifera, Fenicia, Orfea, Embelina, Circaea, [name_f]Capella[/name_f], Heliabel, Chella, Kolfinna, Feverel, [name_f]Charisma[/name_f], Cambina, [name_f]Miuccia[/name_f] and Cavalia.
I love them but each has some issue.
[name_m]Sebastien[/name_m] and felix. My fiances of french ancestry and hates anything of french origin…I don’t know why , he has a good relationship with his family, he just rebelled against anything french lol Girls-[name_f]Sophie[/name_f] cause my fiances sisters dog was named sophie and she died and now he says its a bad luck name. yep…
I loved your guilty pleasure of Novis and the meaning of chasing butterflies, I remember when I was little, me and my cousins would try catching butterflies with whatever we could find on the field that surrounded our grandparents caravan.
Budgie would have to be one of my gp, but I am having trouble with finding any cute nn’s
[name_m]Pilot[/name_m] for a boy is another though I could only make in a mn if that
[name_f]Alaska[/name_f] just sound so romantic to me
[name_m]Rocket[/name_m] for a girl, though reminds me too much of Pokemon :S
Illyria, [name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] and [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f].
Illyria because I love the way it sounds and I would use the nickname [name_f]Lilly[/name_f]
[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] just seems melodic and I love the way it sounds
[name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] despite the fact I hate old fashioned names I love this with the nickname [name_f]Minka[/name_f]
Girls- [name_u]January[/name_u], [name_u]Pepper[/name_u], [name_f]Jemima[/name_f], [name_f]Gretta[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Millicent[/name_f], [name_f]Allouette[/name_f], [name_f]Lark[/name_f] (although I think I’ll use this anyway as a mn), [name_f]Electra[/name_f], and [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f]
Boys- [name_m]Fitzwilliam/name_m, [name_m]Julian[/name_m], [name_m]Evander[/name_m], [name_m]Ancel[/name_m], [name_m]Enoch[/name_m], [name_m]Cornelius[/name_m], [name_m]Alasdair[/name_m], Absolom, [name_m]Remington[/name_m], and [name_m]Mateo[/name_m] - nn - [name_m]Teo[/name_m]
These are all gp names for me. I love them all. I’m thinking maybe they’ll at least get to be in some of my stories someday.
cough [name_f]Marie[/name_f]-Bonaparte … yeah. I’m pretty certain that it will stay a GP name. I just love the way it flows. Besides, [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] Bonaparte, [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_m]George[/name_m] of Greece and Denmark was really rad and one of my favourite historical people. Sigh.
nevermind nn’s or how she’d wear this into adulthood. Besides, she’ll fit right in with fellow classmates [name_f]Apple[/name_f], Blanket and [name_f]Rainbow[/name_f] [name_f]Brite[/name_f]! Lol.
