Girl's name challenge

110 replies

I've found so many fab names on these threads, hoping someone can help me find the right name for my first daughter. The challenge:

  • Has to be fairly unusual (her brother's name is very rare but an old English name)
  • No flower names
  • No feminine versions of male names eg Philippa, Erica etc
  • Nothing too girly (like Posy or Belle)
  • Middle name will be Genevieve
  • Surname begins with L, 3 syllables. So combined with the long middle name, it needs to be fairly short.

Suggestions please! Grin

Have you seen the meaning of Lilith? Pretty name, but the meaning put me off.

I should have said no virtue names either, like Verity or Honor. Not a fan!

I quite like Maeve Genevieve... too similar at the end?

We have also considered Lilith and Livia but not sure since surname also starts with L.

Keep them coming! Smile
