I’d like [name_f]Clover[/name_f] or [name_f]Violet[/name_f] for myself.

[name_f]Clover[/name_f] for the spunky and uncommon factor, and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] for the pretty and soft femininity.

I’d pick [name_f]Penelope[/name_f].

I like that I could go by [name_f]Nell[/name_f] or [name_u]Nelly[/name_u], [name_u]Pen[/name_u] or [name_u]Penny[/name_u], [name_m]Pip[/name_m] or [name_f]Poppy[/name_f]

I would like either [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] “[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]” or [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] for myself.

I could see myself as [name_u]Penny[/name_u] so I chose [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] :slight_smile:

I picked [name_f]Violet[/name_f] - it’s feminine but strong, it’s sweet but has an underlying sass to her!

Ooh I love this question. Nobody seems to consider it when choosing a name.

I picked [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], because I think it’s so beautiful right now and I’m sort of crushing on it.
Second choice would have been [name_f]Cosima[/name_f], then [name_f]Violet[/name_f].

The only ones I wouldn’t want my own name to be are [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]. They’ve always just sounded silly to me. Oh, and [name_f]Clover[/name_f] is cute but I would hate to be called that too.

I’d pick [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. It’s soft and sweet, but strong.
Second choice would be [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], because I love [name_u]Penny[/name_u].
I don’t care for [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]. I use to love classic names, but [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] is an exception.

I’d pick [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] because it’s different, but people recognize it. My name is [name_f]Beryl[/name_f], and when people see it they thing “barrel”. [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is just pearl, it’s beautiful and doesn’t need explaining.

The depth and breadth of [name_f]Cosima[/name_f]'s meaning - the beauty and order of the Cosmos - make it an easy pick for me. What a cool name to celebrate birth!

I would loved to be names [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] or [name_f]Cosima[/name_f]. [name_m]Both[/name_m] are nice, but I voted for [name_f]Cosima[/name_f].

My favourite name on the list is definitely [name_f]Violet[/name_f]!
Having said that, [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] is also gorgeous-I kind of like [name_f]Mimi[/name_f] as a nickname too, it’d be soooo cute on a little girl.
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] has always been a favourite of mine too. xo

I went for [name_f]Violet[/name_f] - classic and cute (and I love flower names). I was torn between [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] though - [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] ends in the ‘pee’ sound, so I’m not crazy about it, and I always have a hard time saying [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]. The rest aren’t my style.

I would choose to be a [name_f]Cosima[/name_f]. I just love everything about it, the imagery I get when I hear/read the name I wish I could explain. [name_m]Even[/name_m] more, the nickname that I have now will fit it perfectly.

I would pick [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] for myself. I actually think I would make a better [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] than [name_f]Signe[/name_f] :slight_smile:

As formal names, I like [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] the best, but the danger of a nn I hate ([name_u]Penny[/name_u], [name_u]Clem[/name_u], etc) taking hold is just too great. So I chose [name_f]Clover[/name_f]. It’s not really my style, but there is something charming about it. It’s unexpected and yet entirely familiar.

I really like [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] or [name_f]Clover[/name_f] for myself. If I had to change my name, I’d want something a little off the beaten track that feels fresh and exciting. I also like unusual sounds in names, and I consider the z-ish sounding S in [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] and the [name_f]Clo[/name_f] / [name_f]Ver[/name_f] sounds in [name_f]Clover[/name_f] to be uncommon. Plus, hypothetically, they’d be an easy transition, lol, my real name begins with “C.”

I find it hard to pick! I adore [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], and [name_f]Cosima[/name_f], and I feel like I’d like to be any one of those! I think [name_f]Violet[/name_f] (nn Liddy?) or [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Poppy[/name_f]?) might suit me the best, just because I need something demure and sweet and yet fully feminine, but I really adore them all.

I chose [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] simply because as a kid I always wanted to be [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]! Now, I just think it’s simply a beautiful name :slight_smile: and think it would be very cool to have.

It was close between [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. I like the daintiness & sweetness of [name_f]Violet[/name_f], but the feminine-ness and sophistication (almost sexy) sound of [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], that can be cute when young and sassy when a teen or young adult. I ended up going with [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] because it has so many nickname options: [name_u]Penny[/name_u], [name_f]Nellie[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], [name_m]Pip[/name_m], [name_f]Elle[/name_f], [name_f]Nel[/name_f], etc. It can grow with age where as [name_f]Violet[/name_f] I only see as a young kid or a preteen.
