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.

Esme
Harriet

Is Vivienne not too similar to Vincent?

Not worried about the initials because the sex is different (Mr/Ms on post) but because of the identical Vi sound.

Vivienne is my favourite however you spell it. I'm not sure any if the middle name combinations you have with it stand out to me, although all are nice.

I fancied Xenon as a middle name for my DD but was vetoed. It would fit nicely with Zephyr too.

Love Phaedra the actual name, but not the origins.

From your latest list, Briar Vivienne Gallagher sounds wonderful.
(And definitely gives a mystical/Victorian vibe!).

So many really great names on this thread, though, OP...not surprised you're finding it tough to narrow down.

I'm really liking Phaedra again now. This is hard.
