Girls’ names with ‘O’ sounds

[Cottonia]

I posted the Fiona thread a few days ago - dh and I were looking for names that we could get the nickname Fifi from. We’ve since decided to drop Fifi, as it’s unlikely it would stick past the age of 5/6, so seems silly to base our choice solely on that.

We’ve realised that we like quite vowelly names, and I especially like names with a long ‘O’ sound in them (as in ‘bone’).

Our current shortlist is:
Fiona
Naomi
Ramona
Rowan
Rowena
Ophelia (more dh’s idea than mine)

Middle name likely to be Elizabeth for family reasons.

Any thoughts on these ‘O’ names? Are there any other vowelly names that we’ve missed?

Olivia
Orlaith
Aoife
Orla

Rona
Iona

Orla

I like Rowan and Naomi too, but it would annoy me if people said it the ‘wrong’ way (Row as in boat or Row as in the argument, and Naomi is pronounced Nay-mee by some)

Jodie
Rosie
Mona
Lola
Romy

Ottavia
Aurelia
Aurora

Odette. My grandmother’s name, and one I’d have loved to use if my married name didn’t have two ‘et’ sounds in it.

Joey
Joannie
Joelle
Holly
Osanna
Alora

Jodie. Joanie. Lola. Lois. Zoe. Chloe.
Sophie. Nova. Shona

Catriona

Juno

I’d spell it Katrina though or you’ll forever get people calling her catree oh na (my list of names which I love but gave up on because people might say them differently is looong!)
