Girl's name to go with Narnia

[ElfDiasphora]

We were thinking 'Gondor' because that is such a beautiful city, but does it sound too masculine? Also, does it sound too much like Goneril? She was awful, so that would be a horrible name to saddle a girl with.

Unta? Lether? Sethanon would be pretty as a girl's name.

I think I like Lorien best so far - or, really, Lothlorien to be more Tolkieny. Or what do you think of Ithylien? That is such a lovely place.

(I do realise that some of you are teasing me, but it is good humoured and funny and I don't mind.)

i heard someone calling their child Narnia the other day and did a double take from shock, i turned to my DH and said 'did that person really just call their child Narnia' maybe this was you OP??

We usually say 'Nan' for short but there is a Narnia in Y3 at our school and everyone always calls her Narnia.

QueenofDreams- it depends on your definition of a place, I suppose. Alambil and Tarva were the two stars whose conjunction Caspian watched with Dr Cornelius from the castle tower.

If you've got Aslan & Narnia, won't the third feel like the odd one out if they have a name from another world? Unfortunately there aren't that many female names in the books - there's Aravis and Lasaraleen from The Horse and his Boy, but not a lot else, unless you want to go for Jadis - or Prunaprismia! I don't think Caspian's queen was ever given a name apart from Ramandu's daughter - not in the books, anyway, though they may have given her one in the film.

If your son is called Aslan, how about Christie-Dignamme for his sister?

I did worry about the third one feeling left out. But Tolkien and CSLewis were great buddies so I hope that might rub off on the children.

Not sure about Prunaprismia(!) or Lasaraleen. Ithilien is growing on me.

Really? Really?! No. Really?

Jadis or Aravis would go well with Aslan and Narnia, but have you thought about Mrs Beaver, or maybe Lucy or Susan, or Stone Table might be nice....

I know a Lorien....

Go the whole hog with Laurelindórenan. Old Skool.

Jadis
Caspia (taking a bit of a licence - mostly because I love the name Caspian but DH won't even discuss it)
Brenn
Cair
Felinda
Teebeth

Alternatively, have you considered Prunaprismia?

D'oh, read the whole thread first Trina >>smacks forehead emoticon

Actually think Felinda is quite cute!

How about Lucy?!

Or Jardis (I think that was the White Witch's name?)

Not that I believe this thread is real for a second btw!

Oh, incidentally, Goneril screams 'gonorrhea' for me, so you might want to pass on that

shudder
Silky the fairy, The Saucepan Man, Dame Washalot, Mr. Watzisname, Angry Pixie.

Hmm, 'gonorrhea' does really seal the case against Gondor, even without the thought of horrible Goneril who was so mean to her father.

Though actually, if you think about it, Gonorrhea is actually quite a nice name if you just think of the sound of it. I won't go for that though as I think it might place a bit of a burden on my daughter.

Silky would be ok but we used to have a guinea pig called Silky and that makes it seem a bit strange for a human.

You could spell it differently.
Gonnareea or Gone arrear for example.

You think???

You think Silky is strange for a human?

She might get teased Loretta. People might call her 'Milky silky' or something mean. Its a shame really that people can't just choose names for their children without feeling subject to name intolerance. This society is just going down hill.

You are right, Ivor. I don't mind a little bit of teasing, like here on this thread. but people can go a bit far. I have to confess that we usually call ds 'Al' when we are out and about because people were a bit funny about it. Some people think he is Alan now. But that is a bit old-fashioned so just as bad.

She might get teased?

What and your other dc might not?
