I've always quite liked Thisbe, it was the name of my nan's neighbour who always made a fuss of me when I was little.

Elke, Olwen and Sasha also nice names. Not keen on the others

RickySpanishhh · 12/04/2021 23:22

Please don’t name your daughter any of these names

I just wanted to say thank you, OP.

I have just created a new character in my online game and all the names I tried were taken. Then I remembered your thread and I now have a character called Corisanda Grin

Carbara · 16/04/2021 14:01

Is that pronounced ElkyElka?
Noor rhymes with poor? That’s not a nice sound.
The others are a weird mixture of stealing names from cultures you can’t belong to all of them, UtahMom gibberish and misspellings of actual names. Is there more of a coherent type you like?

LadyWithLapdog · 16/04/2021 14:07

Here is another list to consider:

Elektra
Fabiola
Olympia

albeau · 16/04/2021 18:41

Reeva
Roma
Lana
Cora
Emmie

@Tryingtryingandtrying

How do you pronounce Noor? Is it like a northern sounding no?
😂😂😂😂 absolutely dying at this
wombatgoeswild · 17/04/2021 19:14

I have a simple name that is generally misspelled. It's a nightmare, was when I was a kid, still is now.

Give your kid a break, give them a simple, nice name.

SaturdayRocks · 17/04/2021 20:40

I have a name that’s always, always misspelt (think ‘necessary on a bike’ - you might need to be old to get that reference), but I wouldn’t change it for that world. Definitely wouldn’t prefer a ‘nice, simple’ name.
