I love [name_f]Madeline[/name_f], but I’m really loving [name_f]Marina[/name_f] with the nn [name_f]Rina[/name_f].
1 [name_f]Marina[/name_f] - this is a classy and beautiful name and I love the water connection.
2 [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] - I love the literary association with that spunky [name_m]French[/name_m] “petite fille” getting into trouble.
3 [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] - this name is ok but I can see spelling and pronunciation issues.
[name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] – love love it but not with nicknames [name_u]Ari[/name_u] and [name_f]Aria[/name_f] unless you’re saying airy and air-ee-ah because [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] is air-ee-ad-nee
[name_f]Madeline[/name_f] – I’ve always had a soft spot for [name_f]Madeline[/name_f]. It’s sophisticated sounding and sweet.
[name_f]Marina[/name_f] – It’s just not a name I’ve ever loved. I love lots of other [name_f]Mari[/name_f]- names ([name_f]Marietta[/name_f] being my favorite) and I like [name_f]Merina[/name_f]. shrug
I vote [name_f]Marina[/name_f]. [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] would be my second choice of the three, but I do not like the nickname [name_f]Maddie[/name_f] at all, and I feel like it is very likely to occur with this one (even if you fight it, she might adopt it), though that’s personal preference. Some people enjoy that nn.
[name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] – I prefer this name in theory. I love the story and meaning, the way it looks, but not so much the way it sounds. I also agree about the nicknames (though I think [name_f]Aria[/name_f] is quite pretty as a full name). They don’t quite fit, but you could still use them if you like. [name_f]Addy[/name_f] would be the other nickname option, I think, though that is a prominent nn for many names.
So, us berries are all over the place with our opinions. I’m leaning towards [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] or [name_f]Marina[/name_f], since [name_f]Maddie[/name_f] names are so popular right now, but more opinions are wanted. Thanks for all your help so far!
I’d add [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f]! Not a fan of [name_f]Marina[/name_f] and [name_f]Madeline[/name_f], sorry.
I’m going to close this thread now, because I picked [name_f]Corinne[/name_f] instead of any of these names. I’m not sure where I even thought of [name_f]Corinne[/name_f] from, but I liked it better than [name_f]Marina[/name_f] (since it is new on my list, I’ll have to let it grow on me before I put it on my real list), [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] has its own issues with pronunciation, and [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] is so popular near me, which puts me off to it. [name_f]Corinne[/name_f] has been in the top 1000 in the USA since the USA started it, making it a not trendy, almost classic choice. I think it fits in well. I’m sorry I didn’t pick any of the one I had you vote on, but I kept the tally for the next time I add names to my list. So I know that berries like [name_f]Marina[/name_f] and [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] more than [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] (the other site I used like [name_f]Marina[/name_f] and [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] the best). Thanks guys!
