What do you think of my girls?

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] Berries!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted with my lists. I’ll post the first names and then some possible combos that are inspired by honor initials. [name_m]Feel[/name_m] free to rank/rate or even better tell me your thoughts on them. Thanks so much.

[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Adela[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f]

And here are my thoughts on them:

Ava-So pretty but so popular.

Bridget-I love the vibe more than the sound. Is it clunky?

Clementine-So cute, but something I don’t know if I like the ‘Clem’ part.

Daisy-After my dad, [name_m]David[/name_m]. She’s perfect. No complaints here!

Delia-Love the ‘D’ after my dad again, but she’s not as special as [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], so meh. Not even sure about it. [name_m]Just[/name_m] pretty & different.

Eloise-Cute but not sure I love it.

[name_f]Estella[/name_f] likely nn Ellie-I love the romantic vibe of [name_f]Estella[/name_f] & the ‘star’ meaning. But it’s just too much, isn’t it? Hard to say.

Guinevere-Been on my list since high school (over 20 years!) [name_f]Love[/name_f] it. & no concerns.

[name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] likely nn Winnie-I mainly like the for [name_f]Winnie[/name_f], but don’t know if I like [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] on its own. I’m not feeling [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] nn [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] for some reason.

Maeve-So elegant & lovely & Gaelic (hubby is [name_f]Irish[/name_f], anyway). Getting sort of popular. She is making a run at the top tier list though.

Miriam-Love the Hebrew-ness of this (I’m Jewish) & it’s so sweet & pretty & not too over done.

Nellie-My great grandma’s name, & it’s so cute but too nick-name-y? I also don’t like [name_f]Nell[/name_f].

Nuala-Love that it’s an unique Gaelic name. [name_f]Do[/name_f] I love the sound though?

Olive-Spunky & artsy. I like [name_f]Livy[/name_f] but really dislike [name_f]Liv[/name_f]. I don’t mind [name_m]Ollie[/name_m].

Pearl-She’s perfect!

[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] likely nn Nellie-This is good, because it honors my Grandma [name_f]Pauline[/name_f] & great grandma, [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]. And [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] is more complete than just [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]. [name_m]Just[/name_m] not sure I love it that much.

Tess-Really cute & sporty. [name_m]Just[/name_m] doesn’t sparkle a ton, but I do like it.

Violet-Kind of popular…love that it’s vintage & floral. Not sure if it reminds me too much of ‘violent’.

Thanks again for humoring me.

[tallemaja]

[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] - [name_f]Love[/name_f]! She has such a distinct, sweet sound, beautiful imagery, and the cutest nicknames! [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] is my favourite combo, so sunny!

[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] - It’s always felt a little like either a dog name or [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] Duck to me, but that’s just my personal associations It’s objectively a sweet choice! I like [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Aviva[/name_f], it sounds lovely.

[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] - Romantic and dramatic, really beautiful !! It does feel a bit more gothic, compared to your other favourites, if cohesiveness is something you care about. [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] is so atmospheric!

[name_f]Miriam[/name_f] - Such an underrated name! I adore her nicknames and warm sound. [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is an adorable combination.

[name_f]Pearl[/name_f] - Another underrated gem (literally!), she’s so dainty and charmingly vintage! [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] is absolutely precious, but I also love how unexpected [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] [name_f]Salome[/name_f] is, I think I’d be the most excited to see this combo!

[name_f]Ava[/name_f] - Not my style, it just sounds a bit too trendy and overdone to me. But I like that you’ve paired it with a more timeless name like [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]!

[name_f]Bridget[/name_f] - A sturdy classic - again, not for me, but I see the appeal of her! And I like the more bold and playful [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] with her a lot. I wouldn’t call her clunky, just… prim and proper?

[name_f]Delia[/name_f] - Not a bad name, but out of the -elia/ilia names I’ve always found [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Celia[/name_f] a lot sweeter! I like [name_f]Delia[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] more than [name_f]Delia[/name_f] [name_f]Ariel[/name_f]

[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] - She’s lovely, such a cosy name!

[name_f]Estella[/name_f] - I was so excited to see her on the list again, super underrated, I love how elegant she sounds, and her abundance of nicknames! I like all of your combos with her, but I think [name_f]Estella[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] and [name_f]Estella[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] flow a little nicer than [name_f]Estella[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]! I definitely don’t think she’s too much, or hard to say? It’s only a 3-syllable name, and it doesn’t have any tongue-twistery syllables, so I’m not sure how it would be hard to say.

[name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] - So sweet and whimsical !! I like nn [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] too, even though it’s not my top choice personally (I love [name_f]Gwennie[/name_f] and Gwendy!). [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is darling!

[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] - A name that’s definitely deserving of its popularity, she feels so lively and warm! I’m absolutely obsessed with [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f], what a charming combo!

[name_f]Nellie[/name_f] - Cute! It’s one of the few nickname names that I like more as nicknames, but she can definitely stand on her own. I like [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] best!

[name_f]Nuala[/name_f] - Ooh, this one is fun! Definitely a name that I’d be excited to see, with a cool, distinct sound! [name_f]Nuala[/name_f] [name_f]Bellatrix[/name_f] is just so cool

[name_f]Olive[/name_f] - [name_f]Darling[/name_f] [name_f]Olive[/name_f] will never stop being sweet !! Both of your combos are great, but I think [name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] wins over for me, because it feels a little more timeless.

[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] - The [name_f]English[/name_f] pronunciation isn’t my favourite, and this one feels quite trendy, but it’s still a nice name! I’m a much bigger fan of [name_f]Penny[/name_f], but [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] definitely works.

[name_f]Tess[/name_f] - I slightly prefer [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] ‘Tess’, but [name_f]Tess[/name_f] is nice, very on-trend. [name_f]Tess[/name_f] [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] is super beautiful, and gives [name_f]Tess[/name_f] a nice romantic feel

[name_f]Violet[/name_f] - Not my cup of tea (I can’t unhear “violent”) but [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Adela[/name_f] is a lovely, elegant combination

Apparently [name_f]Aviva[/name_f] is great middle name because I nearly loved every combo you made with her

[snowmaiden]

Oh, yes, [name_f]Michelle[/name_f]! I love your girls!

[name_f]Aviva[/name_f] is one that always stands out from your list to me. Such a special choice. And [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]! I love these two strong girls.

[Greyblue]

Thoughts:

[name_f]Clementine[/name_f]: elegant, sophisticated, musical and lovely. [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] is bright and charming

[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]: sweet but solid, cheerful and friendly. I like the flair of [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Aviva[/name_f]

[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]: distinctive, mystical, and sharp, a bit clunky and rugged but elegant too. [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is nicely balanced and flows well

[name_f]Miriam[/name_f]: gentle but strong and I like nickname [name_f]Miri[/name_f], [name_f]Mira[/name_f], [name_f]Mitzi[/name_f] and [name_f]Mim[/name_f] . [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is vintage and charming

[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]: gorgeous, lovely and gentle with plenty of spark and solidity. [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] [name_f]Salome[/name_f] is unexpected and intriguing.

[name_f]Ava[/name_f]: it’s okay. I just know so, so many that it doesn’t quite sparkle. I do like the meaning and sound though, and [name_f]Ava[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] has a pleasing sound

[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]: clunky cool and strong - I like it. Not wild on [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] with it, but it’s not bad. [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] [name_f]Ariel[/name_f] or [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] [name_f]Ariella[/name_f] came to mind

[name_f]Delia[/name_f]: pretty charming and gentle but with sass too. I like [name_f]Delia[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f].

[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]: elegant and strong, with plenty of sleekness and flair.

[name_f]Estella[/name_f]: gorgeous as a whole, with literary and celestial flair. Admittedly, with [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] as a nickname, it does lose some sparkle. [name_f]Estella[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] and [name_f]Estella[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] are nice

[name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f]: clunky, playful and strong. [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] pearl is wonderful. [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is nice

[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]: warm, magical and stylish. [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Ariel[/name_f] is lovely

[name_f]Nellie[/name_f]: charming, literary and warm

[name_f]Nuala[/name_f]: magical and lovely

[name_f]Olive[/name_f]: vintage, charming and fun - [name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] is lovely

[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]: musical, breezy and sparky.

[name_f]Tess[/name_f] : warm, cosy and earthy. [name_f]Tess[/name_f] [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] is dream

[name_f]Violet[/name_f]: sharp and bright. [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] is cool!

[hhhhhbcfggn]

I thought you were talking about your children at first because of the title but you’re treating female names like they are

[oliv_1631]

You have a beautiful list!

[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] - I agree with you about the ‘clem’ part, it sounds slightly unappealing to me but overall [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] is beautiful. [name_f]My[/name_f] favourite middle name for it would be [name_f]Bridget[/name_f]! 7/10
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] - Could never use this myself (someone close to me is called it, she wears it perfectly!) but overall adore! It’s sweet yet has a subtle strength while maintaining it’s girly prettiness! I think [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Aviva[/name_f] flows better than [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Nava[/name_f], but [name_f]Aviva[/name_f] is a very famous insurance company in the UK (where i’m from) so I only think of that sadly. 9/10
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] - Used to love this name, and although it’s no longer my style, I still think it’s beautiful. The fact it’s been on your list for over 20 years is a good sign! I like [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] as a middle. 7/10
[name_f]Miriam[/name_f] - A bit dated to me but a pretty sound. I like [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] more as a middle but I would prefer [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Miriam[/name_f]! 5/10
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f] - [name_f]Adore[/name_f] this one, perhaps my favourite on your list! Especially with the middle [name_f]Salome[/name_f]. Absolutely stunning! 10/10
[name_f]Ava[/name_f] - It is popular yes, but that doesn’t subtract from it’s beauty. If anything, it proves how beautiful it is by having so many admirers! [name_f]Ava[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is sweet. 7/10
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Bridget[/name_f], but not a personal fan of [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] i’m afraid! 7/10
[name_f]Delia[/name_f] - It’s not my personal favourite (to me it’s a bit dull) but I like for others! I prefer [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] for the middle as I prefer [name_f]Ariel[/name_f] on a boy. 5/10
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] - Stunning. The most beautiful name ever, just perfect. And of course it goes magically with [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]! 8/10
[name_f]Estella[/name_f] - I prefer just [name_f]Stella[/name_f], but [name_f]Estella[/name_f] is still very pretty! [name_f]Estella[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] is my favourite of the middles. 6/10
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] - Loved this one when I first got really into names (well, i’ve been into names as long as I can remember, but when I first started researching names!) and I still find it very sweet. It’s beautiful yet strong. Fun fact: my mum wanted [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] to be my middle name until she decided against it when I was born - which is a shame, I love the name! [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f] is nice. 8/10
[name_f]Nellie[/name_f] - Not a fan. I would prefer it as a nickname for [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] or [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], but even then it sounds really nasal to me for some reason. [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is quite nice, however. 3/10
[name_f]Nuala[/name_f] - Somehow I haven’t heard of this one before but I like it! 6/10
[name_f]Olive[/name_f] - [name_f]My[/name_f] name! Most people seem to have a strong opinion on their name, but i’m pretty neutral. When I was a child there some very, very light teasing because obviously I have the same name as a food, but usually I have no problems. I go by [name_f]Olive[/name_f] with family, and [name_f]Liv[/name_f] with friends, and on occasion [name_f]Livvy[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] as I find [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] to be a bit of a mouthful! I’m probably biased, but 8/10
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] - Refreshing sounds and overall a pretty name! 8/10
[name_f]Tess[/name_f] - Similar to [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]. I don’t know why, i’m just personally not a fan but I like for other people! 3/10
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] - I take back what I said about [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], this is my favourite name on your list! So perfect, the sounds just roll off your tongue! [name_f]Violet[/name_f] would easily be a top contender for my top names if not for my favourite name, [name_f]Verity[/name_f], not also starting with a V. [name_m]Just[/name_m] crazily beautiful! 10/10

I hope I wasn’t too harsh!

[MichelleM]

@tallemaja Thank you so much for your thoughts! I get that [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is hard to picture on a human sometimes. I don’t personally know any, but still love it. And I agree that [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] is one of the few nick-names that I’m okay with as a full name too. I love it just enough. Interesting that you hear ‘violent’ too with [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. I thought that was just my weird issue. I just love the vibe of it.

@rhodes2nowhere Thank you for ranking! I’m so glad that you love [name_f]Aviva[/name_f]. So beautiful, right? And it means ‘Spring’ in Hebrew.

@snowmaiden Thank you! So glad you love the girls!

@Greyblue Thank you for your thoughts! I don’t know how much I love [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] as a nn for [name_f]Estella[/name_f], but I can’t picture calling someone [name_f]Estella[/name_f] on a daily basis. It feels too dramatic, but it is so beautiful. Maybe [name_f]Essie[/name_f] or [name_f]Ella[/name_f] are better?

@oliv_1631 So glad you like the list! Ha, that’s funny about the insurance company. I’m in the U.S., & to me it’s just a beautiful Hebrew name that means ‘Spring’. So interesting that they would name an insurance company that. So glad you like [name_f]Nuala[/name_f]! It’s technically a nick-name name for [name_f]Fionnuala[/name_f], I believe. I like just [name_f]Nuala[/name_f] though, plus my dog is already [name_f]Fiona[/name_f]. I’ve never met an [name_f]Olive[/name_f] in real life! And you were definitely not too harsh.

[notcinnamon]

Your top tier girls are spot on!
Faves: [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] [name_f]Ava[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is fab! Looking for a different mn, though…
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is good! Slight edge on [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f].
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] from that group.
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f] is a great name!
[name_f]Estella[/name_f] should be [name_f]Estella[/name_f]. Too many Ellies and the full name is gorgeous.
[name_f]Tess[/name_f] is underappreciated and I’m a [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f]. Great list!!!

Your comments on [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] sell it for you. I’ve also loved it more than 20 years and considered it usable always:)
