Gothy Baby Girl Names

Hi all,

Dh and I are a little bit gothy. Well, goths that grew up and got jobs and whatnot. But still really like all things dark, mystical and Victoriana.

We're expecting a little girl soon but still at the brainstorming stage for names.

So far we like:

Ophelia
Briar
Hazel
Beatrice
Cecily
Opal
Phaedra
Violet
Morgan / Morgana

Don't love anything yet.

Can you think of anything we might like? Not comedy witch-style, but would fit our taste. Middle names too please - have no family ones that we'd like to use.

DS is Vincent Zephyr.

I personally don't find hazel or Morgan very gothy - and Briar is too similar to Brian. But some lovely names here

Hazel Vivienne for me.
Why not Opal as a first? Opal Vivienne G sounds good!

ElizabethShaw · 03/11/2017 21:24

Briar Vivienne or Hazel Vivienne

ThaliaLuxurySpa · 03/11/2017 21:17

OP,

Briar Vivienne (Gallagher) is still the front-runner for me.

Vincent and Briar.

Briar Vivienne is a beautiful name.

icantgetnosleep5 · 03/11/2017 20:27

Tealdeal747 · 03/11/2017 18:51

Ophelia hamlet
Briar good
Hazel great
Beatrice pretentious trendy
Cecily sounds like silly
Opal fruit
Phaedra looks like a boys name
Violet good
Morgan / Morgana sounds like wedding dress material
Ariadne good
Blythe (feels like it should have an E - is this ok?) golden girls
Allegra good
Pearl Old lady or worse- necklace

I like:
Luna
Drusilla
Merida
Melanie
Sapphire
Jade
Ebony

Luna, Millicent (NN Millie), Wednesday (NN Nessie), Nova, Raven, Elvira, Lydia, Winter, Blair

TitilatedOcelot · 03/11/2017 18:19

Out of your shortlist, my favourite is Morgan Phaedra. If you love Opal, why stop at 2 names? Morgan Phaedra Opal works for me!

MaidenMotherCrone · 03/11/2017 11:16

Elvira

SandDunesAndSaltyAir · 03/11/2017 11:00

Arianne/Arienne

Jjaammyy · 03/11/2017 10:49

Ramona?

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 03/11/2017 10:41

What about Opaline?

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 03/11/2017 10:40

Your DH's name of Vincent Zephyr is awesome.

I bloody love Opal, I'm just finding it really hard to place with a name that 'works'.
