Gothy Baby Girl Names

[GothAndTired]

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.

I bloody love Opal, I'm just finding it really hard to place with a name that 'works'.

Your DH's name of Vincent Zephyr is awesome.

What about Opaline?

Ramona?

Arianne/Arienne

Elvira

Out of your shortlist, my favourite is Morgan Phaedra. If you love Opal, why stop at 2 names? Morgan Phaedra Opal works for me!

Luna, Millicent (NN Millie), Wednesday (NN Nessie), Nova, Raven, Elvira, Lydia, Winter, Blair

Ophelia hamlet
Briar good
Hazel great
Beatrice pretentious trendy
Cecily sounds like silly
Opal fruit
Phaedra looks like a boys name
Violet good
Morgan / Morgana sounds like wedding dress material
Ariadne good
Blythe (feels like it should have an E - is this ok?) golden girls
Allegra good
Pearl Old lady or worse- necklace

I like:
Luna
Drusilla
Merida
Melanie
Sapphire
Jade
Ebony

Lilith ? (love Briar)

Briar Vivienne is a beautiful name.

OP,

Briar Vivienne (Gallagher) is still the front-runner for me.

Vincent and Briar.

Briar Vivienne or Hazel Vivienne

Hazel Vivienne for me.
Why not Opal as a first? Opal Vivienne G sounds good!

Serephina
Rowan
Willow
Arla
Scarlet
Una
Alice
emily strange
Aurora
Blair
Violet

Alyssandra
Coraline
Ottilie
Astrid
Astraea
Nerissa
Cordelia
Mirabelle
Ianthe
Delphine
Ineś
Sorelle
Lyra
Elara

I love Vivienne Violet, love name alliteration. I know a couple of Vivienne's nn Vivi which is super cute too.

Here are the names of all the daughters of goths I know.

Luna x2
Abigail
Catherine
Kitty
Violet
Bella x2
Victoria

My fave is Opal Morrigan G - initials OMG!!!

Also like

Cora Morrigan G
Opal Vivienne G
Scarlett Coraline G

I personally don't find hazel or Morgan very gothy - and Briar is too similar to Brian. But some lovely names here

Claudia - interview with a vampire

Merry Violet

Should have been Merryn, not Merry! Autocorrect fail.

Meredith Vivien?

Melusine
Morgane with an e on the end
Veronica nn Vivi

Vixen
Raven
Lachrymosa
Laudana

What a great thread! Loving the vibe of these names. The only goth mum I know named her daughter Seraphina - really worked.
Also Blythe!! This is gorgeous and very Victorian sounding.
Some others:
Eloise - for sure, know a goth teen girl called this - great name on her.
Octavia
Clara
Martha - went to school with a goth Martha
Phaedra - love it
Indigo
Adrienne
Anastasia
Eden
Evangeline
Ivy
Lilah
Phoebe - a friend who was a goth; has a Victorian feel
Xanthe

Hope you like them :)
