[name_f]My[/name_f] boyfriend and I are trying to find a girl name that is young and fun but not too young or crazy that it will look strange on an adult.
We originally fell in love with the name [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] however everyone told us that it was horrible and would never work for someone over the age of 13. Some others we like that we think are young & fun are [name_f]Lola[/name_f], [name_f]Mila[/name_f], and [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] but we can’t use those or any names too similar to those. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you have any names that you think may fit well for us based on [name_f]Ayla[/name_f], [name_f]Lola[/name_f], [name_f]Mila[/name_f], and [name_f]Emmy[/name_f]? Flow is also pretty important to us, so we’d also like to make sure it flows with [name_m]Gallagher[/name_m].
I second [name_f]Julia[/name_f], or [name_u]Julie[/name_u], one of its meanings is “one who is youthful”. I think [name_u]Julie[/name_u] sounds younger but many people find it dated and see it on a 40 year old.
[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Chloe[/name_f], [name_f]Marie[/name_f], [name_f]Primrose[/name_f], [name_f]Lila[/name_f], [name_f]Nia[/name_f]?
I love [name_f]Ayla[/name_f]! It’s beautiful, short and sweet (yet spunky). [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] is also the name of one of my main characters in my (almost) novel.
But if you’re not using [name_f]Ayla[/name_f], I suggest:
I think [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] on it’s own is too young. [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], perhaps?
I also love [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Elodie[/name_f], [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], and [name_f]Mia[/name_f].
We actually prefer a “cutesy” short name to a longer name. [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] may be nice, but like we said, we can’t use any of the names mentioned in the original post or any names too similar (including variants). Popularity doesn’t bother us and we’ve actually never met a [name_f]Lily[/name_f] or a [name_f]Chloe[/name_f]. We do like [name_f]Celia[/name_f], [name_f]Stella[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Isla[/name_f], and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]! [name_f]Isla[/name_f] and [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] are not pronounced the same, tfzolghadr, so I’m not really sure what you were saying?
[name_f]Ayla[/name_f] is great! I don’t see any issue. I also like [name_f]Lyra[/name_f], [name_f]Avril[/name_f], [name_u]Alix[/name_u] (ancient form of [name_f]Alice[/name_f]), [name_f]Lita[/name_f], [name_f]Isla[/name_f], and [name_f]Iris[/name_f].
