If you like Maris, how about Marin?

MaryPoppinsStoleMyHandbag · 25/03/2018 07:43

I love Meredith. Not keen on any of the others.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 25/03/2018 07:34

I love Carmen.

SuperBeagle · 25/03/2018 07:13

Meredith is okay.

I like Daisy, but don't like Marguerite, and think Daisy as a shortening is too contrived in 2018.

Lilith is nice, but I wouldn't be willing to burden a child with a name that has widespread negative connotations.

The rest are pretty dire.

Morgana, Gwen (but not Gwendoline), Marissa (not Maris, sounds like a potato) or Daisy.

Maris - Frazier
Lilith - Frazier, and do you know the mythology behind this name?
Drusilla - Zoo
Kendra, Meredith - not bad
Ursula - is a name, but not a particularly attractive one
Morgana, Tristana - Convoluted. Morgan is a perfectly OK name used for boys and girls, why complicate it?
Carmen- old lady name
Marguerite - ok
Daisy - presumably Nn for Daisy?
Gwendoline - if you really want
Psyche - you’ll have an awful lot of explaining to do.

I like Carmen, Daisy and Lilith.

Hate the rest, sorry.

Pemba · 25/03/2018 05:14

I really like Lilith, it has a lovely sound, it's like Lily or Lilian but far more unusual and with more oomph. Quite a brave choice though, have you looked up the mythological associations? I'd say go for it, Lilith, if she'd existed, was a feminist icon!

Also really like Daisy, and Meredith is also nice, as is Maris.

Maris and Lilith, are you a big Frasier fan?

Psyche is from Greek mythology by the way. She was so beautiful Aphrodite hated her. Grin And yes, I know its too weird to use. Sighhh...

I like Ursula but please call her Psyche (wtaf)

YerAuntFanny · 25/03/2018 02:22

Maris - Potato
Tristana - Game of thrones character?
Meredith - Meh
Morgana - Morgan maybe?
Carmen - I like this
Marguerite - if you have Spanish roots maybe
Daisy - Usable
Gwendolyn - Gwen is slightly better
Drusilla - Now you're just making up words
Ursula - Meh
Kendra - Atleast it sounds like a name!
Psyche - WTF did this kid ever do to you?
Lilith - Ice Queen of Frasier but usable.

I think Carmen is the only one I personally would use.

Minus1 · 25/03/2018 02:19

Only like Meredith

Anxiouschild · 25/03/2018 02:18

Definitely not Maris Potatohead Surname...

Anxiouschild · 25/03/2018 02:18

I like Marguerite and Lilith from that list.

Marv1nGay3 · 25/03/2018 02:16

I love Ursula

PinkAvocado · 25/03/2018 02:13

I like Meredith but honestly that is it!
