Girls names ...

[imissbrie]

My and DP were in love with the name Elvis but we have recently discovered we are having a baby girl. We are so happy, but we are back to the drawing board on names. DP is a bit of a rockstar (in my eyes anyway :P) and we want our little girl to have a rock star name. However I like really feminine vowelly names so a bit of both worlds

Here's the list so far :

Aurora
Aurelie
Amelie
Layla
Stella
Scarlett

Thoughts? Suggestions more than welcome.

Aurora - pretty but depends very much on the surname and doesn't shorten obviously. Difficult to say quickly.
Aurelie - ditto but not as nice!
Amelie - boring and will date terribly
Layla - definitely rock star
Stella - okaaay. Always thought it a bit harsh. What about Estella? lovely.
Scarlett - cant stand this name, too try hard.

erm. Morgana? Rowan? Lila?

I would
Say avoid '...ie' names if you want rock star. They are quite
'cutesy' ATM

Stella

Aurora - lovely
Aurelie - not keen
Amelie - a bit faddy, why not Amelia?
Layla - OK
Stella - nice, though prefer Estella
Scarlett - OK, but wouldn't use due to scarlet woman connotations

Aurora is fab, it is my favourite on your list. I like Stella least.

I only like Stella from that list.

How about

Esther?

Not sure I know what you mean by a 'rock star' name? Do you mean copy a cuurent rock star?

Rock star - how about Ramona?

Ohh I like Ramona, DP isn't sure about it though, DP and I also like Sadie and Charlotte, I think people think of Sadie as an old woman's name but I think its really cute :)

Aurora - nice, not v rock star though
Aurelie - sounds like "orally" in English. so no.
Amelie - overdone. it's all "that French movie" to me.
Layla - ok. Little bit stripperish to my ear, but that's personal associations possibly. Quite rock'n'roll with the Clapton song etc.
Stella - love, though this isn't rock-starry to me.
Scarlett - my guilty pleasure, I love this. Quite rock n roll too.

I like Aurora (nn Rory) and Stella and Sadie.

I quite like Harry for a girl, could be short for Harriet which, granted, isn't really that rock star!

Rockstar names that come to my mind are

Susie
Roxanne/a
Pattie
Angie

though Layla is the ultimate rockstar name

Aurora - gorgeous, and quite rock star-y
Aurelie - To me it always sounds like 'Orally' unless you are French and can pronounce it properly
Amelie - Pretty, not very rock star
Layla - not a fan
Stella - the baby Stellas I know belong to quite straight-laced middle class parents, so to me not very rock star-y though I get where you're coming from
Scarlett - not a fan

a few random suggestions -

Zephyra?
Tippi? (I know it's an actress name, but it sounds kind of rock star to me)
Kim?
Cleo?

Aurora and Aurelia are on our list for this bump, they're both gorgeous! For Aurelia we were thinking of the nn Rae or Lia (similar to Layla from your list).
