Salinye Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 I need girl names. Not silly names, names you would actually name your daughter....Any suggestions? ~Salinye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincunx Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 More slightly old and under-used girl's names than I can count. . .Could I have this narrowed to an initial, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venefyxatu Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Samantha, Linda, Lidya, Amaryllis (I don't think it's very common, but I am being serious - I actually had a teacher who was called that), Monique, Chantal, Amanda (been mentioned before, but definitely worth mentioning again), Nathalie, Diane, Lauren, Lena, Jill, Ann, Karen, Karin, Liesje, Christine, ... Are you looking for names from a specific culture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katzaniel Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Flinches I'd never name a child Amanda, but that's only because of all the mean Amandas I've met. Nor Chantal, but that's one specific story. Ooh, Olivia. That's nice. And Samantha. Others (these come from my own personal baby-name-idea-list, but I can share ) are Mynah, Vanessa, Eleanor, Paige, Jade and Elisabelle. This last was borne of someone I knew named Elizabeth who had a heavy accent, and would probably be better off shortened to Lizzy for all practical purposes.

Salinye Posted March 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Tzim~ I don't have an initial, but the middle name with be Maureen regardless of the first name, so it has to sound good with Maureen. BTW, that's "Mahr-reen" Not "Mo-Reen". ~Salinye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetcherrie Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 I've always like Sarah, but together with Maureen that would make her initials S.M. and she might not like that in later life. an I would also make for funny things, as in I.aM. So maybe better not choose a name that starts with an S or an I Seeing that Maureen is already a different form of Mary, that would not be my first choice either, although I really like the name Mary. How about Meagan, coming from Maragaret, meaning "pearl" derived from the Greek margarites. Her whole name would then mean "beloved pearl".

Ayshela Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Since, if i recall correctly, Emily and Anna are very similar to the names of your other girls, they might not be in the running here. hmmmm... Alisa, Adrianne, Bethany, Belinda, Katrina, Deanne/Deanna, Gina, Julie/Julia/Julianna (and the many variations therein), Heather, Cassandra, Saria/Sariah, Lynette, Christina... Ran across this when Kythrah was pregnant - it's just one of many similar out there. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shathward Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 How about Jennifer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincunx Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Short or nickname-friendly, compatible with common English names and spelling, not derived from the masculine, and pairs well with Maureen: one syllable will work, two syllables if the accent falls on the first, three syllables if the accent falls on the first--perhaps the second, but then the first syllable fades away entirely on the full name--and only if the name can be abbreviated. Seconding Gia (Gina doesn't quite work, not sure why), Olivia although it doesn't fit the guidelines, Elisabelle "Belle" or "Lizzie", Eva, Helen, Deanna "Dee". Adding Cora, Vera, Iris--delicate names of a more courteous era. Adding Patricia, Livia, Tania--multisyllables for the multi-faceted modern woman which can be chopped for nicknames. Adding Rosamunde, Eleanor, Victoria--old distinguished English names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reverie Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 I always like Zoe... with the funny little thing over the "e." Jacqueline's a classic. I have a friend named Carlota, she's goes by Carly... Rebecca called, "becca" Madision and Singer cool too. rev... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Celes Crusader Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 I'll try to give names that could fit well in English. Penelope, Cassandra, Camillia, Rose, Sandra, Suzie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mynx Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 I've always liked the name 'Madness'...but I guess that's not the kind of name you're looking for... Personally, I prefer looking at name meanings... For example, Amy means 'Beloved' Not sure if that helps at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yui-chan Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Suggesting a name for your daughter is way too heavy for me! http://www.themightypen.net/public/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif I'm sure you'll come up with something beautiful that's just suited to the new little mind growing up inside you. You don't need us for that. With hope, ~Yui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon2001 Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 If I ever had a girl, I promised myself I'd name her Aurora, because that is a spiffy name. Seeing as how I'm not planning on having any children, I bequeath the name to ye. Do with it as you will. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regel Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 All I have ever had are boys. However I am a traditionalist so names that sound good to me are Katherine, Elizabeth, and Carolynne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
