Girls Names

[LoveYouHoneybear]

Help me pick from these, or please offer other suggestions you think I might like!

Vivian*
Marion
Josephine
Harriet
Greta
Tilda

Thanks a lot :)

• please no comments that this is the "male" spelling, this is the spelling I like and I'm not bothered about gender-specific spelling at all!

I like them all. I think Marion is underused and a good strong name.

Freda
Ada
Caroline
Katrine
Patrice
Mary
Audrey
Isla
Erica
Bridget

I absolutely love Greta.

Tilda is lovely too, as is Josephine.

Josephine (Josie) or Harriet (Hattie)

I like Harriet best.

Nancy
Dorothea
Frances
Heidi
Beatrix
Theodora
Cecily
Sydney
Roberta

Tilda is a brand name for rice.

I would choose Josephine.

Love Harriet, was also on our list
Really dislike Greta 😬
Tilda just makes me think of rice 🤷🏻‍♀️

What about

Ollie
Maisie
Frankie

I like your list, especially Vivian, Marion and Tilda. Harriet is ok. Not so keen on Josephine or Greta.

Vivian* - no. you know why. Young Ones, Pretty Woman. Viv
Marion - ok
Josephine - ok
Harriet - like it esp. Hattie
Greta - short for Margaret
Tilda - rice

Suggestions
Thora, Hilda and Rita have a nice retro vibe
Martha as an alternative to Harriet

I like Josephine and Harriett. Not keen on the others.

Love love love Greta (my dds called Greta though, so might be biased!)

vivian is nice to (and you can shorten it to viv when she’s older)

Marion is my middle name, names after my Granny. She has Myra for her nickname which I think is lovely

Josephine, Greta and Harriet are ok.
tilda just sounds like a nickname or rice
Marion is old fashioned but not in a trendy way, she’s your elderly next door neighbour.
I’m not a fan of Vivian and spelling anything in the non traditional way just sets your child up for a lifetime of correcting people on the spelling of their name.

Seeing Vivian pop up a lot on this board lately... Would be so funny if it made a comeback 😁

And I like Nora, I know a Nora bloss and I think it’s a beautiful name.

All are lovely, my top 3 would be (in this order):
Tilda
Greta
Vivian

Other suggestions:
Ada
Freya
Frida
Freda
Audrey
Margot
Mabel
Matilda
Theodora
Winifred

Prefer Matilda and you can nn to Tilda?

I prefer Vivienne to Vivian but nice name! I didn’t know there was a male spelling of it!

you might like:

Winona
Genevieve
Gwendolyn
Freya
Margaret
Martha
Eugenie
Amelie
Catherine
Clara
Coraline

Suggestions:
Elfrida
Elspeth
Flora
Edith
Esther
Hazel
Vera
Alice
Dinah
Isadora
Tess
Ruth
Vita

DD is another Greta, so I’m obviously massively biased but I love it. Also like Harriet, but not so keen on the others.

Frida
Flora
Olive
Alma
Agnes
Juliet
Vita
Camille
Genevieve
Clementine
Astrid
Beatrix
Dorothea

I like Harriet, Marion, Josephine out of those. All classic and elegant. Not keen on Tilda unless used as a nn for Matilda.

Marion is also the male form. Tilda is rice. I like Vivian and Harriet from your list.

Thanks so much everyone! I live in Canada, where there is no Tilda rice (ha!) but very good to know.
