Your girl name lists, please

[reginaphalange]

So... Umm... That was interesting

[bromios]

You asked for the names we loved. Then you criticized most of them (and don't try to argue that what you were doing wasn't criticizing because of all the disclaimers about how some of us might not be American (most of us are, actually) and how it's just for your personal style, yadda, yadda, yadda...). This makes us not want to help you anymore. You know how you can make it up to us? Sit tight and just endure the "WTF?" that you have so thoroughly earned. And don't do it again.

I have had so many brilliant ideas but MH is a harsh editor. The benefit is that we aren't too overwhelmed by options.

FNs:
Catherine
Elizabeth
Samantha
Chelsea
Sybil
Penelope

MNs:
May/Mae
Jane or June
Esther
Louisa

I just can't forget how my heart melted when you said you would call an Elizabeth "Birdie." I love it! Sybil and Penelope are also so lovely, and I do have a soft spot for Samantha too... #stalkingyouforever

Elizabeth remains our strong front runner if this is a girl. It isn't the most creative, but I'm just stuck on it. I love how many strong females in history and fiction she would be tied to, and that she could call herself so many variations if she ends up hating her name as a teen. It has the additional benefit of being the name of a woman in family's ancestry who came over from London to homestead in the Oregon prairie in an arranged marriage (all the ladies in my family are obsessed with this story) as well as my MIL's middle name. So we can get points for a family name even though that was never our intention. #extracredit #stalkingyouback #thatshowIfoundthisthread #notcreepy

Well our LO will probably be Isabel, which is a version of Elizabeth! So that would be awesome. =)

Also, WTF happened here? Highlight: when you wanted something not-foreign sounding but then held up Anastasia and Tatiana. Those are hella Russian. (As is Nadia... which is way more common in the U.S. but you think is "made-up" and "comic.") No comprende.

The name you're looking for is Destiny Spree. Now I have this name copywrited, because it's obviously amazing, but normally I'd be willing to share. Unfortunately you're a twat so you can't use it.

Legit spitting of my coke zero at my desk haha

Also "Theodora" is old-ladyish and common, but "Thea" is weird and unpronounceable? Huh?

My dad's nickname is Hazel (long story). I would definitely consider it for one of our future kids as a nod to him, especially since we are really close.

Careful, OP didn't want your name list for ideas. She just wanted everyone to share so she could shit all over them.
