[name]Hi[/name]! You have a lovely list here!
From it:
[name]Christian[/name] - this strikes me as a boys name, since I’ve only ever seen [name]Christian[/name] on boys.
I don’t like the [name]Chris[/name]- names in general, the sound is dated to me. (I grew up with hundreds of [name]Chris[/name]- girls & boys!)
[name]Milly[/name] - I adore [name]Millie[/name] but prefer it as a nickname. You never know if the “country girl” is going to grow up and become a corporate lawyer. [name]Millicent[/name] is traditional for [name]Milly[/name] but you can also get [name]Milly[/name] from lots of names, [name]Matilda[/name], [name]Romilly[/name] (which also has the option of [name]Romy[/name]), [name]Camill[/name]/[name]Camilla[/name], [name]Emily[/name], [name]Amelia[/name] & Millaray, which is a Mapuche [name]Indian[/name] name meaning “golden flower” isn’t that one pretty?
[name]Josie[/name] This is what I generally call my own daughter, so of course, you can say I adore it. But her full name is [name]Josephine[/name], which gives her the options of [name]Effie[/name], [name]Posy[/name], [name]Fifi[/name], [name]Fee[/name] & [name]Fina[/name] as well as the more boyish [name]Jo[/name], [name]Joey[/name] and [name]Jojo[/name] (the last two are cousins of hers) As well as something formal should she decide [name]Josie[/name]'s too cutesy when she’s 50.
[name]Alice[/name] - Absolutely gorgeous. Sweet and pretty. Works well for a “country girl” as well as a grown city chick!
[name]Mabel[/name]/[name]Maisie[/name] - Now this is gorgeous! [name]Mabel[/name] is sweet, feels footloose but grows up very well, and [name]Maisie[/name] is an adorable nickname!
[name]Gemma[/name] - This is one of my favorites, warm and pretty. Doesn’t feel very “country” to me, but hey, that’s no big deal. [name]Gemma[/name]'s very polished (pardon the pun) and sweet.
[name]Jemima[/name] - This is my #4 name for a sister to my [name]Josephine[/name]! I love the meaning, and it looks sweet and pretty. I’d call mine [name]Mimi[/name], but [name]Jemma[/name] & emma can also be gotten from it.
[name]Dinah[/name] - Would be perfect for you, I think. I could expound on [name]Dinah[/name] at great length but will stop at perfect, because really, [name]Dinah[/name] is.
[name]Louisa[/name] - has just entered my own radar. But then, ask anyone here, I am a sucker for [name]Lulu[/name]. Any way I can get to it, I’ll consider. She feels wonderful, elegant & gorgeous.
[name]Martha[/name] - Has long been a favorite of mine. [name]Matty[/name], [name]Marty[/name] & [name]Marta[/name] are all nickname options for her, which makes her absolutely shine for me. I know a lovely [name]Martha[/name] as well, which doesn’t hurt the lovely thoughts of [name]Martha[/name] in my head. (if you could see my notebook, [name]MARTHA[/name] is at the top of my most recent page!)
[name]Eliza[/name] - Is pretty. It’s not my favorite on this list but I’d still, even if I were going to call a girl [name]Eliza[/name] full time, put [name]Elisabeth[/name]/[name]Elizabeth[/name] on the birth certificate, just so she’d have options. Options are a grand thing to have when you’re 16, nevermind 40!
Now, I took my five favorites on this list and went digging through my own lists to find names that feel similar. I took [name]Amelia[/name] (as a form of [name]Milly[/name]), [name]Josephine[/name], [name]Dinah[/name], [name]Martha[/name] & [name]Jemima[/name] and came up with these:
[name]Joanna[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Susanna[/name]/[name]Susannah[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Tabitha[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name]
[name]Edna[/name]
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Georgia[/name]/[name]Georgiana[/name]
[name]Dahlia[/name]
[name]Helena[/name]
[name]Iris[/name]
Anything there?
I hope that helped, some!
