With your help, I've got my boys list put together and the process was pretty painless. Girls will not be so easy. The problem I have with girl names is that I love so many of them. For some reason, I feel like being creative with a girl's name is more accepted than choosing an unusual name for a boy, so there are so many more options to choose from. Anyway, that's just something I've noticed. Any opinions, suggestions, anything is very appreciated. I know the list is kind of a mess!
First, names I am thinking I want to use as first names. It's a pretty long list. Sorry about that. I put a * beside the ones I'm not completely sold on, or am unsure about.
Alma
Amy
Anne* - I love so many variations of this name (Annika, Anya, Nina, etc.) I go back and forth between them constantly.
Astrid
Augusta
Beatrix - I'm back and forth between this and Beatrice.
Cassandra*
Catherine* / Katarina* "Kitty"- I love Catherine in and of itself, but also love Katarina and the nn Kitty. Again, back and forth.
Danika
Della
Eileen
Francesca "Fran/Franny"
Frieda*
Hermione* - I'm not a Harry Potter fan, and I think that's what most people associate this with, instead of the daughter of Helen and Menelaus.
Hilda* / Tilda - I love both of these. I've been told that Hilda sounds to "Viking."
Jane
Julia
Liv*
Louisa
Margot
Marian*
Marisa*
Melanie
Noa - I know Noah is very popular for boys, but I've always loved the Hebrew female version.
Owen* - This one is not a legitimate female name, but I love it. I might have to stick it with my GPs though.
Philippa
Pia*
Polly*
Raine*
Rosa
Sela*
Selma*
Vanessa
Wilhelmina "Minnie"
