I like a lot of these! Your list is pretty long, are you trying to cut it down to a specific number or make combos out of these?

[name]Leah[/name] - seems really dated to me, way past her prime
[name]Violet[/name] - [name]Love[/name] but it is becoming so popular
[name]Ruby[/name] - I like it, cute and spunky, definitely a keeper!
[name]Iris[/name] - short and sweet but it lacks something for me
[name]Nora[/name] - I am really growing to love this name, I prefer it as a nn to [name]Eleanor[/name] but I think it can stand alone Keep!
[name]Samantha[/name] - very 90ā€™s I cannot see it on a baby
[name]Vivian[/name]/[name]Vivienne[/name] - I prefer the [name]Vivienne[/name] spelling but I love both, definitely a keeper!
[name]Avery[/name] - This is all boy to me and it does not seem to fit with your other girls name, would you consider it for a boy?
[name]Nina[/name] - dated
[name]Gemma[/name] - [name]Lovely[/name] and sweet, definite keeper!
[name]Honour[/name] - I think the history of this name is too pressuringā€¦
[name]Evangeline[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name]!!!
[name]Mila[/name] - I like it, I think I prefer it as a nn for [name]Camilla[/name] or [name]Milena[/name] though
[name]Julia[/name] - I like it but I prefer other [name]Juli[/name]- names, like [name]Julianne[/name], [name]Juliana[/name], or [name]Juliette[/name]ā€¦
[name]Lucia[/name] (loo-shuh) - [name]Love[/name]!
[name]Valentina[/name] - I like it but it might be hard too wear
[name]Marina[/name] - NMS but not bad
[name]Beatrix[/name] - [name]Trixie[/name] would be a cute nn but I have never bought into the [name]Bea[/name]- names.
[name]Adele[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name], so classy and pretty!
[name]Ophelia[/name] - I see this and all I hear is ā€œI feel yaā€ for some reason :frowning:
[name]Linnea[/name]- I like, it has potential!

This is a really good start I would love to see the combos you make out it :slight_smile: I think every suggestion I can think of has already been named so I wonā€™t leave any.

Out of the entire list, my favorites are:

[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Nora[/name], as a nickname for [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Lenore[/name], etc.
[name]Vivienne[/name]
[name]Avery[/name]
[name]Gemma[/name]

The ā€œLoo-shuhā€ pronunciation of [name]Lucia[/name] ruins the name for me, as I connect it too strongly with names like [name]Lucius[/name] (as in [name]Lucius[/name] Malfoy) and [name]Lucifer[/name], which has negative Biblical connotations. If you were to use [name]Lucia[/name], I would suggest ā€œLoo-SEE-ah.ā€

Not necessarily cut it down because I love all of these names a lot, but it would probably be a good idea haha. :slight_smile: I rarely think of combos for my names, so that would be great too. Thanks for your opinions!

[name]Leah[/name] - Iā€™ve always liked this but in the past three months or so Iā€™ve met two newborns named [name]Leah[/name]! It seems like one of those names thatā€™s going to take over my area.
[name]Violet[/name] - love! [name]Violet[/name] is one of my personal favoritesā€“I think sheā€™s just so lovely and charming! You canā€™t go wrong with [name]Violet[/name]. :slight_smile:
[name]Ruby[/name] - I like this a lot, too. I briefly considered it as a FN, but I think if I used it, itā€™d be as a MN. It just doesnā€™t quite have the same feel as my other favorites, but she is just lovely! I adore the nns Roo and [name]Bea[/name], too.
[name]Iris[/name] - love! Iā€™m considering [name]Iris[/name] as a MN for several combos right now. Iā€™m hoping one of them will stick. :slight_smile: Sheā€™s oh-so-lovely and unexpected in her simple beauty!
[name]Nora[/name] - not my style at all, sorry. I like [name]Norah[/name] and [name]Eleanor[/name] better, even [name]Honora[/name]/[name]Annora[/name].
[name]Samantha[/name] - this feels dated to me but she is very nice.
[name]Vivian[/name]/[name]Vivienne[/name] - I like [name]Vivienne[/name] or [name]Viviana[/name] best. I donā€™t love [name]Vivian[/name]/[name]Vivienne[/name] or anything but I do like it a lot, and I love the nn [name]Vivi[/name]!
[name]Avery[/name] - sorry, I know a lot of people love [name]Avery[/name] for a girl, but I actually love it for a boyā€¦ then again, using it on a boy has a lot of personal significanceā€¦ itā€™s a family name and there is a literary association to it that I love for a boy. In my situation it just really wouldnā€™t work on a girl, haha. I can kind of see [name]Avery[/name]ā€˜s appeal on a girl, though.
[name]Nina[/name] - I used to love it but I donā€™t really love it anymore. I canā€™t help but think of [name]Nina[/name] on Fringe and thatā€™s not a great association for me.
[name]Gemma[/name] - like a lot! I prefer [name]Genevieve[/name] in general but I do really love [name]Gemma[/name], too.
[name]Honour[/name] - I like it a lot, but I prefer other virtue names (particularly [name]Verity[/name], [name]Mercy[/name], [name]Grace[/name], and [name]Nadia[/name])
[name]Evangeline[/name] - love! Itā€™s a bit over-the-top for me as a FN but itā€™s on my list as a mn.
[name]Mila[/name]/[name]Camila[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Camila[/name]/[name]Camilla[/name]/[name]Camille[/name], but Iā€™m not crazy about [name]Mila[/name], sorry. Never have been.
[name]Julia[/name] - love! Sheā€™s so classic and lovely.
[name]Lucia[/name] (loo-shuh) - I love this pronunciation! It seems like most prefer loo-SEE-ah or loo-CHEE-ah but I love this. Iā€™m not crazy about the nn [name]Lucy[/name]/[name]Luci[/name], but I think [name]Lucia[/name] is just lovely.
[name]Valentina[/name] - love! I havenā€™t considered it for a while but I do like it a lot. I also love the nn [name]Leni[/name] for it.
[name]Marina[/name] - I used to love this, but it feels a bit dated to me now. I like [name]Mariana[/name] and [name]Maren[/name] much more, personally.
[name]Beatrix[/name] - like a lot! I would only use it as a mn, though.
[name]Adele[/name] - love! Iā€™m considering adding it to my girlsā€™ listā€¦
[name]Ophelia[/name] - love! This is actually one of my mns for [name]Violet[/name] ([name]Violet[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] [name]Claire[/name]), haha. I think theyā€™re perfect together. [name]Ophelia[/name] is just perfect in general, though. :slight_smile:
[name]Linnea[/name] - I like it a lot, but I like other flower names more.

[name]Violet[/name], [name]Adele[/name], [name]Ophelia[/name], [name]Julia[/name], [name]Camila[/name], [name]Valentina[/name], [name]Evangeline[/name], [name]Gemma[/name], [name]Iris[/name], and [name]Ruby[/name] are my favorites.

What about:

[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]/[name]Carolina[/name]
[name]Tabitha[/name]
[name]Eve[/name]
[name]Imogen[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Clara[/name]/[name]Claire[/name]
[name]June[/name]
[name]Hannah[/name]
[name]Rachel[/name]
[name]Flora[/name]/[name]Fleur[/name]

Good luck!

[name]Leah[/name] - NMS, but lovely all the same.

[name]Violet[/name] - In my opinion, I think this would be a hard name to grow up with. Itā€™s cute for a little girl, but I canā€™t imagine 20-year-old [name]Violet[/name] looking for a job. I would choose [name]Viola[/name] instead.

[name]Ruby[/name] - Cute, but same as my comment for [name]Violet[/name]: hard name to grow up with and take seriously on an adult.

[name]Iris[/name] - Beautiful. [name]One[/name] of my favourite names, [name]Iris[/name] is elegant and sophisticated, but a little bit spunky as well.

[name]Nora[/name] - I like this as a nickname for [name]Eleanor[/name] or [name]Honora[/name]. Itā€™s cute, but needs a name with more substance to back it up.

[name]Samantha[/name] - I like it. Itā€™s popular, but not overused, and is always a good choice. Classic and intelligent are the words that come to mind.

[name]Vivian[/name]/[name]Vivienne[/name] - First off, I prefer the [name]Vivienne[/name] spelling, as it sounds more exotic to me. I think this is an amazing name, and also a good substitute for [name]Violet[/name]. Great choice!

[name]Avery[/name] - This is the kind of name that I think is more geared towards boys, but when I see it on a boy, I find it too girly. With unisex names, you need to find a happy medium, and [name]Avery[/name] is not it.

[name]Nina[/name] - I adore this name for personal reasons, and I disagree with those who think that itā€™s too dated. I think itā€™s classic and sweet and perfect for a little girl AND a grown woman.

[name]Gemma[/name] - I love this name as a substitute for jewel names (ie [name]Emerald[/name], [name]Sapphire[/name], etc.) but I think that itā€™s better suited in the middle spot. Still, itā€™s a great choice!

[name]Honour[/name] - I do like this name, but I would definitely prefer [name]Honora[/name] or [name]Honoria[/name]. Iā€™m not a big fan of virtue names, and I think [name]Honour[/name], although beautiful, is very pressured. If you were to use [name]Honour[/name], I would spell it [name]Honor[/name] because I come from [name]Canada[/name] and taking the ā€œuā€ out makes it seem less word-y.

[name]Evangeline[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name]. I am incredibly taken with this name and I would love to see more little [name]Evangeline[/name]'s! Perfect, and I adore the NN [name]Evie[/name] or [name]Angeline[/name], or even [name]Eva[/name].

[name]Mila[/name]/[name]Camila[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t like [name]Camila[/name], but I do like [name]Mila[/name], if pronounced MY-LA.

[name]Julia[/name] - I like this name. I would use it on my children, if it werenā€™t already a common name in my family.

[name]Lucia[/name] (loo-shuh) - Definitely prefer the LOO-SEE-[name]AH[/name] pronunciation. [name]Love[/name] the NN [name]Lucy[/name].

[name]Valentina[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this! I think itā€™s adorable, and I love the NN [name]Tina[/name] or [name]Val[/name].

[name]Marina[/name] - On of my less common favourites. I fell in love with it after reading the [name]POem[/name] ā€œ[name]Marina[/name]ā€ by TS [name]Eliot[/name]. [name]Lovely[/name] name.

[name]Beatrix[/name] - Hm, Iā€™m kinda on the fece with this one. I feel like I should like it, but I kinda donā€™t want to. Not too sure about it.

[name]Adele[/name] - Beautiful, gorgeous, amazing name. However, Iā€™m afraid that it might see a sudden increase in popularity because of the singer [name]Adele[/name]. Sigh.

[name]Ophelia[/name] - A lovely Shakespearean name, albeit a tad dated today. [name]Lovely[/name] all the same.

[name]Linnea[/name] - I like this name. Alot. NMS, but I still like it.

Great list, keep adding to it!
