Need inspiration for girls name? These are the names I like .. and the reasons I cannot use them

[bytheMoonlight]

Florence - am put off by Flo

Julia - Close relative called Julie

Sophia - Close relative called Sophie

Poppy - don't think it suits an adult

Rosa - Blends into surname, sounds like Rosalie

Already have an Eva.

Would love suggestions as I cannot find one girls name I love that I can use

[YesYouMust]

IMO Julia and Sophia are nothing like Julie and Sophie.

Charlotte
Claire
Louisa

I have a blank on names atm sorry.

[choosyfloosy]

What put you off Charlotte?

Helena
Elizabeth
Ferrara
Nerissa
Harriet

[bytheMoonlight]

Nothing put me off especially, I just thought maybe it was a tad boring.

Love Hattie as a nn for Harriet but not keen on Harriet.

[bunnymother]

Violet
Anna
Diana (except for the Princess of Wales, I was so keen as such a beautiful name - Diana the moon goddess and huntress)

[choosyfloosy]

Fair enough.

Athena
Theresa nn Tessa
Dorothy nn Dottie

[TrillianAstra]

Would it be Soph-ee-a or Soph-eye-a? Second not much like Sophie at all (always Soph-ee).

Flora?
Love Ella-too close to Eva?
Juliet?

[bibbitybobbityhat]

I think you should have a one syllable or 3+ syllable name to make a contrast with Eva.

[bibbitybobbityhat]

But not Grace or Isobel/Isabella.

[bibbitybobbityhat]

Stephanie

Joanna

Juliet

Madeleine

Marigold

Zinnia

Penelope

Annabel

Really like Juliet, do you think it's too close to Julie though?

[choosyfloosy]

Juliet is perfect.

[jeananddolly]

In my fantasy I have 4 daughters called Sophia, Penelope, Antonia and Elodie. Last 3 any good?

What about the other two Golden Girls names as you have Rose and Sophia already? Dorothy and Blanche or the actresses? Beatrice, Estelle, Betty, Rue (maybe not Rue)

Try searching cool French actresses as I sense a theme there as well... what about Catherine, Brigitte, Melanie, Anouk, Jeanne, Ludivine, Simone...

[diddl]

No-not too close to Julie.

[Sidge]

Hannah
Juliet
Claudia
Imogen
Cecily
Helena
Elizabeth

[Theantsgomarching]

Heather? also love juilet

[debaronz]

Juliet would be a lovely choice. No, I don't think it is too similar to Julie.

[Songbird]

I know a Florence, shortened to Florrie which is sweet. But I love Flo I have to say!

[Songbird]

And why can't you just call her Hattie? You don't have to have a 'proper' name then shorten it. I had a very narrow escape - if I'd been a boy my parents would have called me Ben, lovely! Except I have a cousin called Benjamin so I would have been Benedict!?!?!?!? Yikes!

[Petifilou]

Florence can also be shortened to Floss or Flossie! Don't know if you like that any better?

I really like Florence but would wonder if people thought I'd just chosen it because of the popularity of Florence and the Machine! You know, in the way people name their babies e.g. Brooklyn or Kylie.
