Lucia is gorgeous, and my favourite, although you do know that there's at least three different pronunciations? Loo-see-a, Loo-chee-a, Loo-sha, and probably others.

Mina and Romy are also very pretty. Romilly and Hera are fine.

Sorry, I don't really like the others.

WarriorsComeOutToPlayaaay · 17/11/2022 09:27

Not Fabia, they will be called Labia at school

😁😆

motleymop · 22/11/2022 21:27

I don't understand the popularity of Juniper at all. It does not sound at all like it ought to be a human's name - a pet maybe.

OddsocksinmyDocs · 22/11/2022 21:16

The only one I like is Beatrix Sad

Anymanyall · 22/11/2022 21:04

all dreadful sorry. Mix of ‘ I read Harry Potter, LOTR and like star wars’ obviousness coupled with a few old lady names (Blythe, Daria).

MuchuseasaChocolateTeapot · 22/11/2022 20:53

Beatrix
lucia
Elowen

lovely!

Yes. I was going to say the same

shreddiesandmilk · 22/11/2022 01:49

Lucia
Hermione
Persephone
Juniper at a push

Beatrix
Romilly
Gianna
Hebe

Are all really pretty but just not to my taste

Ginevra just reminds me of Ginny Weasley since it was her full name and I really dislike it along side Daria, Blythe, Damara and Arwen. Zinnia is pretty but reminds me of Matilda's mum in Matilda and that is not a good association. I went to school with a girl called Fabia and she was called some mean nicknames that rhymed with it. Pretty name but I wouldn't risk it

urbanbuddha · 22/11/2022 01:41

Blythe
Romilly
Asha

DramaAlpaca · 22/11/2022 01:41

Our taste is completely different. Elowen is lovely but I don't like the rest.

ilo · 22/11/2022 01:37

DISLIKE
Runa (Luna)
Fabia (Fabienne?)
Romy
Romeilla (prefer Romilly)
Beatrix (Beatrice is better imo)
Raya
Hera
Ginevra
Dasha (sounds like one of Santa’s reindeer)
Damara (Tamara)

If I’m honest a lot of these sound like ‘made up’ names which I’m not keen on.

LIKE
Zinnia
Romilly
Hermione (A lovely name, but she’ll get Harry Potter comments for life)
Persephone
Lucia
Gianna
Mina (LOVE)
Elowen
Hebe (pronunciation might be difficult depending on where you are in the world)
Darya/Daria (would spell Daria)
Juniper
Arwen (LOVE)
Asha (LOVE)

If I was having a girl I’d happily call her most of these names.
