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’m surprised that no one has mentioned Abigail yet.

paper,

Ah! Will let you off, then. The Kingscote series?

Paperclipmover · 01/11/2017 23:32

Sorry Thalia but it's from a character in Antonia Forest's books, Thalia nicknamed Tim. Thalia is great in itself of course Grin.

My daughter is Genevieve and is named after a vampire in a Warhammer book Wink

From your revised shortlist, my votes go to:

  1. Morgana (apologies for suggesting it again earlier: I am dim and hadn't noticed you'd already included it in your original post!) /Morgan
  1. Allegra
  1. Briar

Some really interesting names from everyone.

Sally can be pretty goth, if you're into Tim Burton I suppose.

Carmen

Veronica

Martha as in harbour.

Thalia but Tim for a nn.

Although the most goth person I know wanted to call his daughter Sally.

Jocasta?

multivac · 01/11/2017 23:15

When I was a Goth( as opposed to a middle aged woman who has not got over wearing black all the time) , I used to think Eloise was the ultimate Goth name.
But the when of Goth ( and only person who ever looked truely good in black lipstick) was called Willow. She was SO serene.
