Hi,
Looking for a lovely long elegant girls name, prefer classic but lesser used. Would appreciate your opinions on these too or suggestions for others of the same ilk.

Thank you!

Claudia. Vivienne. Mariana. Maibelle. Felicity. Dorothy. Augusta. Rosabelle.
Antonıa. Antoinette. Alexandra. Miriam.
Helena. Melissa.

Agree, Mariella is the prettiest!
Georgiana will definitely be shortened.

MagicFajita · 26/12/2017 11:48

Georgiana (Darcy) is a beautiful name op. The only issue I have is that people will almost always shorten it or mistake it for Georgina. She will be forever spelling out her name and correcting others.

MotherCupboard · 26/12/2017 11:53

Mariella is pretty.

HelenaJustina · 26/12/2017 11:54

Mariella

RavenWings · 26/12/2017 13:08

Definitely Mariella. It could end up just as Ella though which is very popular.

Mrsknackered · 26/12/2017 15:03

Mariella, I prefer Georgina to Georgiana (bit of a mouthful)

Georgiana is lovely. Mariella’s ok, but not so nice. But she will end up as Georgie like all the other Georginas and Georgias. So perhaps go for a name with a less common diminutive?

GrrrHotdogs · 26/12/2017 17:10

What about Marielle rather than Mariella. They are all pretty names though.

MikeUniformMike · 26/12/2017 17:19

Georgiana is nice but will get mispronounced. I would say it as Jorjayna.
(Please don't use that spelling) but others might say it GeorgieAhna or George-anna. Georgina or Georgia are safe choices and Georgie is cute.
Mariella is pretty.

notangelinajolie · 26/12/2017 17:19

Georgiana.
I wanted to name DD3 Georgiana but I got outvoted Sad However, DD3 loves it and is going to use it instead when she has her first DD Smile

Mariella is beautiful.

MikeUniformMike · 26/12/2017 18:04

I was going to suggest Mariette too. I also like Georgette but prefer other girl George names.

HeteronormativeHaybales · 26/12/2017 19:19

Mariella is lovely. Also easy to pronounce and travels well. Not keen on Georgiana.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 26/12/2017 19:20

Mariella, lovely name.

AlmostChristmas · 26/12/2017 19:30

Georgiana hands down.

Or...
Alexandria
Marissa
Clarissa
Luciana
Lucille

Fruitboxjury · 26/12/2017 19:45

Mariella, hands down a gorgeous name. Easy to say, easy to spell, travels well, very feminine and pretty without being cutesy. Would suit someone if any age imo, also nice that it’s a bit unusual without sounding made up.

Personally I also like it because it doesn’t end in an “ee” sound.

Agree Georgiana is lovely name but would frequently be Georgie / Georgina

Buntysoven · 26/12/2017 22:58

Mariella. Gorgeous.

Georgiana is lovely but Georgina even lovelier imo.

Mariella is nice.
