Terancia

[SpringAspen]

What do you think of this name for a baby girl?
Names also on my list are Milencia and Astoria.

They're all quite unique names and all end in an "ia" sound which I love. If anyone has any similar suggestions please let me know.

@GucciBear Just to be clear, it's an ancient Greek name and it IS the female version of the name Terrence.

Would you consider names that are recognizable but very uncommon, rather than “made up sounding”?
If it’s really important they sound made up, I think you should consider what you want to communicate - I’d go for a name that communicates a quality or a concept over random sounds, though I can’t think of any that aren’t already names to be honest.

I think you should try looking at ancient Roman names. You’ll probably find a few that are barely used now but still sound pretty. Some ideas…

Lavinia
Elysia
Flavia

SpringAspen. Thank you for the info!

They're all quite unique names
There's usually a very, very good reason for this.

Thanks so much for everyones feedback and name suggestions 😊

Terezita, Colincia, Talicia, Azaria, Celestia and Caledonia are all added to my list!

That’s the one. Friend of Naughtius Maximus.

Yes I'm aware that Milencia is a made-up sounding name because that is the vibe I'm going for if you couldn't tell.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I suppose there's no point in asking why made up sounding nonsense appeals to you, is there?

This is a joke right? No-one would seriously consider such awful names.

How about Balonzia?

Has anyone suggested Dementia yet?

A bit like Demelza but with the ending you like OP.

No it isn’t. Terrance isn’t an Ancient Greek name either. It’s much like Gary in that respect, or La’Keisha.

Arf at good old Terry being of Ancient Greek origin.

@Johnnysgirl Every name is made up. Every word in every language was "made up" at some point. New words are being made up and added to the dictionary all the time.
I don't understand the snobbery behind insisting children need to have "real" / "already established" names.

I am pronouncing this as Ter ANS ia.

It sounds too close to Tarantula to me.

Oh a Dear, I was actually joking when I suggested it was

Because one day they might want a job?

Roman, I'd have said, after the poet Publius Terentius Afer. Better known as Terence.

OP

Thayella
Jastina
Seconia
Caanelita

After the Cult of Skaro 😂

Apparently he had a daughter, who would traditionally have been called Terentia. If she had sisters, they'd have been T Prima, T Secunda, T Tertia & so on...

Because the alternative is some poor gobshite wandering the world introducing themselves as Caledonia?

No, the sad thing is that you probably don’t.

If you want to stand out in some way, maybe contribute to science, write a successful book, or do some charitable work. Being cruel to your child because you want attention is terrible.

How about Annunciata?

@Johnnysgirl Except Caledonia is an already established Latin/Roman name...
