Mabel Riley "Mae" or "Mabel Riley"

Freya Violet "Effie"

Aurora Hadley "Auri" 

Elodie Scout "Elle"

 

Absolutely adore all of the above, especially Mabel Riley and Elodie Scout. I had Elodie Scout on my own list a while back :) I also love (w/ highlights in bold):

 

Eleanor "Nell" 

Olive

Beatrice "Bea"

Ivy

Imogen

Temperance (MN only)

Tallulah "Lou" -although I admit my fondness is purely do to Lou and not Tallulah-

Eden "Edie"

India "Indie"

Willow (MN only)

Adelaide (MN only)

Primrose 'Posy" 

Althea

Echo 

Flora 

Freya 

Halcyon

Helena

Hermione 

Indira 

Juno 

Luna 

Maeve 

Niamh

Xanthe

 

A name I've been loving lately is Aletheia, I think it adds elegance to Althea without loosing the simplicity. It is Greek meaning truth and it also reflects a bit of philosophical scholarship without being obnoxious. :)

 

Toying w/ some combos:

Aletheia June

Hermione Olive

Aletheia Scout

Tallulah Echo

Freya Willow

Imogen Echo

Indira Ivy / Ivy Indira

Flora Halcyon

Eden Beatrice

Niamh Primrose

Thank you, ladies!! :)

 

Mabel Riley and Elodie Scout have been on my list for years, I just can't let them go ;) Mike and I are confident if we ever have another and it's a girl, she'd be Mabel Riley <3 Freya Violet is new to the list, but honors my grandmother in law who's super sweet (maiden name is Frazier). Ugh I know Aurora is so popular... :'( I wont use it for real because of it, but I still love it.  

 

I like the vintageness of Olive, while Liviana feels a little more modern. The idea is nice, though. 

I adore "Lou" names lately, though I've trouble deciding which is my favorite! (Tallulah, Luna, Louisa, Lucy, etc). 

I really like a lot of versions of Adelaide, like Adeline too. It's just so sweet! 

 

Aletheia is interesting. I might have to grow on it, which I can see myself doing. Is it like ah-leth-ee-ah, or ah-leth-ay-ah?

 

It's kind of funny, because I think the goddess of chaos reference is neat haha! Not because I'd think of her as chaotic, but because I loved the animated Sinbad movie as a kid and though Eris was so cool haha. 

 

I like these combo suggestions:

Aletheia June

Tallulah Echo 

Imogen Echo

Indira Ivy

Niamh Primrose 

Juno Eleanor

Freya Charlize 

Ariadne Primrose

 

I want to like Luna Hermione, but I think I'd come off a little too HP fan? ;) Haha!

 

Again, thanks bunches!!  :wub:  :wub:
