I like [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Valentina[/name_f]. That way if she wants a more beautiful and glamorous name as an adult, she can use her middle.

I love the name [name_f]Bibiana[/name_f], but [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] sounds better.

[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Bibiana[/name_f] / [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Viviana[/name_f] –-- Not a fan of either, really. [name_f]Viviana[/name_f] feels a little older, just like [name_f]Viola[/name_f].

[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Viola[/name_f] –-- [name_f]Viola[/name_f] really sounds more old-fashioned than nature-based to me. If anything, it reminds me more of the instrument than the flower.

[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f] — [name_u]Love[/name_u] it, gorgeous. So spunky!

[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Junia[/name_f] –-- If you feel like you’re settling with [name_f]Junia[/name_f], then go ahead and use [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]. [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] is lovely, and how often do you use someone’s full name? Plus, if she gets married and decides to take on her spouse’s last name, then the flow will change.

[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] — Also very pretty, but I prefer [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f]. This is more pretty, that is more spunky.

[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] –-- So so so pretty. Still has a spark (maybe it’s that Z noise) like [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f], still pretty like [name_f]Valentina[/name_f], still nature-y like [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]. I chose this. Initials EAT are a little awkward, but again, who cares? Maybe she’ll be a chef. Maybe she’ll get married. As long as it isn’t ASS or TIT I think you’re okay.

[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] –-- [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] does seem a little more tame, but it’s still pretty.

[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] –-- I like this a lot. It is not as tame as [name_f]Noelle[/name_f], but more quiet than [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f], [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] and [name_f]Azalea[/name_f].

[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] — Not a fan, but not bad, just not my style.

[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Viviana[/name_f] is gorgeous. I also like the spunk of [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Azalea[/name_f].

[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f] is really beautiful, I think it’s great! Runner ups are [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Valentina[/name_f], [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Azalea[/name_f], and [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Viviana[/name_f].

I think [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] has the best flow, very pretty! [name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f] but I trip up a little when going from the -th ending in [name_f]Edith[/name_f] to the Z- beginning but [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] still has the beautiful z sound while providing an easier transition because of the A- beginning. :slight_smile:

[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] and [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f] are both fabulous.

@blt726, haytherejana, aj_bear: Thank you!

@axps123: I suppose so, I think I was concerned about the last name flow because I’m keeping my maiden name (thus I keep it in mind that my daughter may grow up to do the same). [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] isn’t the worst flow, but I was trying to find reasons to maybe narrow the choices down xD Thank you for your in-depth comments, they’re very helpful.

@lovemysweeties: Thanks! The E.A.T initials don’t seem strange, though, right?

@grace_newgrace: Thank you!

@southern.maple: Thank you as well.

I do not worry too much about initials, unless it’s crude or something like SIN. Often times initials are first name, surname, middle name…so ETA. I wouldn’t be concerned about EAT either. I have never used my son’s initials for anything.

I voted for [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Junia[/name_f], but [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f] sounds lovely as well.

@lovemysweeties: That’s good to hear, makes initials seem a little less worrisome.

@sorceress: Thank you for voting :slight_smile:

I voted for [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]- i think it’s gorgeous with [name_f]Edith[/name_f]!

I voted for [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] and [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is a close second.

[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] is my favorite. Not sure about E.A.T. though. :confused: There are probably plenty of people with these initials, but still, less than ideal…

[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Viola[/name_f] is my other fave, but doesn’t sound like she’s what you’re looking for. I definitely get a vintage vibe.

SOoo… tied for 3rd:

[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Viviana[/name_f]
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u]
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f] - nms but I love the flow

I like [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]! That’s a really gorgeous name.
