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.

Bree was (I think) the name of the horse in A Horse and his Boy.... is that an idea? Wasn't too keen on CS Lewis so could be wrong here, was much more of a Tolkien fan as a kid.

And yes, CS Lewis and Tolkien were good friends for a while but the relationship went seriously downhill once CS Lewis started on the Narnia books. Tolkien felt he was stealing from his Middle Earth.

what about Digory

The Wood Between The Worlds? might take some hyphenating though.

I had a classmate in the past called Silke and it was pronounced like "Silky". Apparently a Scandinavian name.

Would the OP mind if I took the name 'Digory' in case I have a boy. I think it sounds pretty cool and very sophisticated. I'm going to run it past DH and see what he thinks.

So you looking for a name that goes with Aslan and Narnia?

Ok........

I would go with Polly or Lucy.

No I don't mind, though it is kind of you to check.

We already have the name decided for our next ds, if we have one.

We would hope to call him Shire (from the Hobbit's Shire). I think it sounds very calm and solid like River Phoenix or Gabriel Oak.

YOu've missed the h out of that name change.

Yes, I was embarrassed by misspelling Diaspora the first time, but I am the same person with and without the h.

See! Me again.

you namedchanged without the 'h' weird.

Yes but who else are you?

Had a look on here, if your kids are already called Aslan and Narnia then maybe stick to the narnia theme.

Im liking Pomona, Clipsie, Jadis (even if its the white witches name) Tarva is cool.

I've stumbled upon a parallel universe, haven't I?

I would absolutely love to call my DC names from C S Lewis. OP if you are real I salute you!

Oooh how about names from His Dark Materials trilogy?

I actually had Lyra on my baby name list but DH vetoed.

Thanks Elf, Shire is such a lovely name too though. It boasts intelligence, genius and wisdom.

Shire is a type of horse isn't it?!

What about Mrtumnus?

Or, if you like hyphenated, Mista-Tumnus.

But then when Mista-Tumnus grows up, he'd be Mr Mista-Tumnus Diaspora. Nice homage to the 80s band Mr Mister just to add to the confusion.

Boggle

Tribpot - ah, indeed.

Though I do believe the OP is looking for a girl's name so she will be Miss Mista-Tumnus.

Mind you, she could end up being called Mista-Tumble in error.

Mista-Tumble could certainly be unfortunate. Although I suspect Ms Mrs-Beaver could be worse? I have had grave difficulty explaining to ds since he watched The Voyage of the Dawn Treader that Eustace's name is not, in fact, Useless. So that's one bullet dodged.

Per Una has a bit of a ring to it.
