Gothy Baby Girl Names

Hi all,

Dh and I are a little bit gothy. Well, goths that grew up and got jobs and whatnot. But still really like all things dark, mystical and Victoriana.

We're expecting a little girl soon but still at the brainstorming stage for names.

So far we like:

Ophelia
Briar
Hazel
Beatrice
Cecily
Opal
Phaedra
Violet
Morgan / Morgana

Don't love anything yet.

Can you think of anything we might like? Not comedy witch-style, but would fit our taste. Middle names too please - have no family ones that we'd like to use.

DS is Vincent Zephyr.

Vivienne Cora is my favourite from your combos!
Some great names on there.

Oh also Opal as a middle name is fantastic. Love it.

GothAndTired · 02/11/2017 16:38

I'm really liking Phaedra again now. This is hard.

ThaliaLuxurySpa · 02/11/2017 17:13

Love Phaedra the actual name, but not the origins.

From your latest list, Briar Vivienne Gallagher sounds wonderful.
(And definitely gives a mystical/Victorian vibe!).

So many really great names on this thread, though, OP...not surprised you're finding it tough to narrow down.

Paperclipmover · 02/11/2017 18:20

Vivienne is my favourite however you spell it. I'm not sure any if the middle name combinations you have with it stand out to me, although all are nice.

I fancied Xenon as a middle name for my DD but was vetoed. It would fit nicely with Zephyr too.

GothAndTired · 02/11/2017 18:41

Is Vivienne not too similar to Vincent?

Not worried about the initials because the sex is different (Mr/Ms on post) but because of the identical Vi sound.

Giselle-think the ballet, not exactly witchy but still gothy.
Isolde
Magda
Esme
Harriet

himynameiss · 02/11/2017 19:05

Zarah
Xaghra

Intercom · 02/11/2017 19:27

Of your combinations I think Pearl Claudia and Vivienne Opal are the best Smile

BikeRunSki · 02/11/2017 19:33

Xanthe
Melanie and Leila both mean “dark”.

GrowThroughWhatYouGoThrough · 02/11/2017 19:34

I’m loving Vivienne briar !

QueenNefertitty · 02/11/2017 19:38

I know a family with a little girl called Vela... I think it's celestial, but it's also pretty goth!

MissWilmottsGhost · 02/11/2017 19:41

I think of dull and slow cars for both Allegra and opal, sorry.

Only1scoop · 02/11/2017 19:45
Grin
MissWilmottsGhost · 02/11/2017 19:46

I'm liking Raven and Hazel best.

Vivienne is nice, but IME it's a pain in the arse having the same initial as your big brother. We were always having school work mixed up etc. Hmm
