Girl name help?

Violetandpurple · 08/02/2022 21:47

I have 3 DD's
All have names that aren't uncommon but not in the top 40
Always complimented
Two middle names each
& now I feel like I've used every name i like so I'm really struggling for #4!
There must be a girls name out there that I haven't considered yet.

Throw your top 5 fav girls names at me please

Considered so far for ideas are ..
Matilda
Arabella
Maisie
Clara
Violet

(I dislike made up names or nicknames as full names)

Please help!

I have lots of girls so I feel your pain on the names. One of mine is a Matilda.

I also love Arabella and quite like Maisie. Less keen on Clara and Violet but I don't dislike them.

My top 5 changes so often but at the moment, probably:
Amaya
Bronte
Ivy
Juliet
Zara

Lovely bunch of names except Maisie, which is awful

Harriet
Louisa

LozMarieFielder · 11/02/2022 19:52

I like all of your considered names so far, especially Arabella and Violet. In fact Arabella Violet would be a nice name combo.

My top six girl names (five was too hard):
Artemis
Priscilla
Indie
Odessa
Mabel
Marina

Love Matilda and Violet. Don’t like the rest. They’re quite popular though. Without knowing your other names it’s hard to know what you’ve used and what style you like.

5 girls names I like -

Isabelle
Georgina/Georgia
Serena
Natasha
Anya

foxgoosefinch · 10/02/2022 18:44

What are your other DDs’ names? That would give us a great steer - if they all have 2 middle names, just mix em up so it’s not identifying.

I like Clara best from your list - and my own current favourite classic-but-unusual names include:

Helena
Julia
Christabel
Maud nn Maudie
Isadora
Clementine
Laura
Rosamond / Rosalind
Hermione
Cecily
Josephine nn Jo or Josie
Hero
Claudia

For further girls' name inspiration, check out some Chalet School books from the library.

Also try playing the full credits of any blockbuster film, there are always interesting names in the massive list of crew and visual effects people!

Yearofthetygerburningbright · 09/02/2022 05:25

Rachael, Christina, Christiana and Helen are obviously variants of those also nice.
