Not your guilty pleasure name: what would you realistically name your daughter if you had her tomorrow?
Mine would be [name_u]Saige[/name_u] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] (not sure if anyone on nb knows me enough to know that, but sorry if I’m stating the obvious lol)
if i wasn’t divinely inspired to name her different, her name would either be eleanor wilde or ida marigold.
eleanor for my great-grandmother, and wilde honors my love of classic literature.
ida is a name i’ve loved for a while; it’s strong yet still gentle. i’ve also recently learned it’s the name of a mountain, which makes it very special to me. marigold honors my catholic faith while still being unique and naturey.
Mine would be [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] “Mollie”. [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] to honor a [name_f]Mary[/name_f], [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] because I love it, & [name_f]Mollie[/name_f] because it’s my favorite [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] nickname.
Most likely either [name_f]Margot[/name_f] or [name_f]Freya[/name_f]. [name_u]Or[/name_u] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], although it’s much, much too popular here for my liking.
Hmm… That’s a hard one. If I’m being completely realistic I know I’d be choosing between [name_u]Alma[/name_u], [name_u]Blair[/name_u], and [name_f]Blythe[/name_f].
Thought Process
I’ll admit that even though [name_u]Alma[/name_u] is my top girl’s name it’s falling a bit flat for me right now. That being said, I do love the meanings, the vibe I get from it, and it fits beautifully with the go-to honoring middle [name_f]Johanna[/name_f]. I usually tack [name_f]Honey[/name_f] on the end, but I don’t know if I could really see myself using the name even if it is honoring.
[name_u]Blair[/name_u] is probably tied with [name_u]Alma[/name_u] for my top spot right now. I love the vibe I get from the name. It feels like it could belong to any sort of woman, really. And, well, I like the idea that if [name_u]Blair[/name_u] decides she doesn’t feel like a “she” the name still fits. I mean, I love it for a boy or girl and everything in between. As for combos, a [name_u]Blair[/name_u] of mine would probably be [name_u]Blair[/name_u] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] or [name_u]Blair[/name_u] [name_f]Johanna[/name_f]. Though the combo [name_u]Blair[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_u]Joan[/name_u] just came to mind and I’m digging it.
And last, there’s [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]. [name_u]Man[/name_u], oh man do I love [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]. I cannot for the life of me come up with a great combo for her though. I’d go for something honoring, of course. Maybe [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] [name_f]Johanna[/name_f], or [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_u]Joan[/name_u]? Although [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] sounds super cute.
She’d almost definitely be [name_u]Blair[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_u]Joan[/name_u] with [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_u]Alma[/name_u] [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] (Lily?) as runner-ups.
[name_u]Blair[/name_u] is chosen for the reasons stated in my thought process. [name_f]Lily[/name_f] because it is one of my first loves. [name_u]Joan[/name_u] is because it honors.
