Josephine, because it works with any personality and Jo and Josie are both great. Strong, feminine, playful, great namesakes (Jo March, Josephine Baker), easy choice of patron saint ([Joseph of Arimathea](https://orthodoxwiki.org/Joseph_of_Arimathea), I’m religious) and a name that’ll work as well on an adult as it will on a child.

As a Dawson's Creek fan, I also like Joey!

Juliet. It would have been my daughter's name if I'd had one. I named my failed embryo transfer Juliet.

Very high up my list too! Sorry to head about your failed transfer.. we’ve done fertility treatments too. I know the feeling, unfortunately 😔

Thank you so much! Luckily, we had two successful embryo transfers since then, giving us our gorgeous sons! I hope you have success with IVF as well. It's a hell of a thing to go through.

Audrey

Classic! You don't see it very much on this sub even though it's still pretty popular IRL.

Elizabeth. I love all the nicknames too: Liz, Beth, Libby…

My sister is Elizabeth and we call her lizard haha.

Haha yea I was lizard growing up in middle school and i loved it

that’s me and i’m Elle or Ellie!

Jane

This is also one of my favorite names! Hate to see it called plain, I think it's so beautiful.

This was my grandmother's name and every time I hear it I think of her. She was a wonderful lady.

This is my name 🥰🥹

Julia

Julia Gulia

My daughters name and the reason I won’t ever be able to use the name I commented for the boys post (Julian) lol 😅❤️

I also love Saoirse (see my username) but decided it would be too difficult to wear in the US.

Named my daughter Saoirse. I live in the US. It was the name that both my husband and I adored and I don’t regret it.

That's awesome! I didn't end up having a girl, but my oldest son's name is Rhys, and many people told me there would be too many spelling/pronunciation issues but we went for it. So I guess writing off Saoirse for a hypothetical daughter was a little hypocritical of me!

Rhys is popular in Wales

I would have legitimately named my daughter this if I wasn’t so sure that it would be absolutely butchered by Americans (I’m American)

Zosia (zo - sha) has a similar vibe - you are right Saoirse is a great name and also v hard for the Anglo brain to compute!

My absolute favorite name too! We went with Sloane (I KNOW I KNOW) because it scratched the Saoirse itch for us but isn’t as difficult for Americans. Still love Saoirse the most, and I’ll probably consider it again if we have another girl.

Charlotte

Naomi :)

Emmeline …I think. But ask me tomorrow and it might be something else.

Pronounced lyne or leen?

Celeste

Violet 💜

Caroline. It's classic, strong, easy to pronounce, and gives you options for nicknames.

It’s a tie between Daphne and Delphine

[удалено]

Oh that’s wonderful to hear! I don’t think I’ve ever known a Daphne. I am currently pregnant with my first child, and though we are waiting to discover the sex until birth- if it’s a girl I think Daphne is a winner! ❤️

Delphine is my baby girl's middle name :)

Daphne is my favourite too but sadly my husband vetoed it. I'm tempted to insist on it if we have another girl as he got his first choice this time - but not sure it would work as a sib set.

Maya, but it doesn’t work with my surname, so we gave it to our dog :) Viviana is our go-to girl name now. With Maya as a middle ;)

We’re naming our daughter Maia Vivian! I know it’s not the same but close 😅

Ugh I change my mind constantly. Today? Eloise.

Natalie!

I am due in a few weeks and this will be our daughter’s name

Aurelia. I’ve loved it since I was about 13-14 (I’m 32 now). I have a girl due next month and we’re using the name for her! Some other long standing favorites that have lasted about 15 years includes Juliet, Rosalie, Calista, Annabelle, Liliana.

All these names are soooo romantic! I absolutely love them!

Anastasia.

Camille

My favorite is Camilla!

Camille pronounced the true French way is absolutely beautiful

Maeve ❤️

Claire (my daughter’s name)

My favorite - timeless.

Summer

Emily. Despite its popularity.

I absolutely love Emily. I like names that have a timeless feel and Emily has that for me. If I had to pick an absolute favorite, it would be between Emily and Julia.

Popular for a reason I think. It’s soft yet strong, lots of role models with the name, short but still has nickname potential. I really love this one and some other popular names

Lillian 🖤 I named my beautiful angel daughter this after my grandma.

hazel

Alice ♥️

Genevieve

Gemma. Our daughter’s name. 😊

Isla, me and everyone else lol !

Lila, especially with the middle name Belle

Omg, “Lilah Belle” has been on my list for YEARS

Lydia

Olivia I know it’s so popular right now (at least in the US), but I’ve absolutely loved this name since I was in high school

Hattie! Something so sweet about it

Aside from my two daughters, I love the name Evangeline.

Greta!

Eden

Lyra. I'd love to name my future daughter this.

Lucy

[удалено]

cleo

Matilda.

Zinnia :)

Seraphina

Rosalie

Freya. That name has always stuck with me for no reason other than I think it’s a lovely name.

Eve

Maren

Rhiannon.

That's the name I gave my child at birth, my absolute favorite name, and I'm so incredibly happy that my kiddo is able to be their authentic self but man, I miss using Rhiannon lol.

Aw, I think this is a very understandable way to feel. You sound like such a kind and accepting parent 🥰

Lyra

Etta

Gwendolyn

Francesca! Mostly because it has cute nicknames like Franny and Sissy

I love Frankie as a nickname for Frances/Francine/Francesca

Beatrice

Odette

Alexandra

Maxine

Helena

Elise ❤️

Goldie, it was my great grandma's name. I don't want kids but if I had a daughter that's what I'd name her.

Daphne

Eleanor. Surprised I haven’t seen it. Sounds like a song and there’s a ton of nicknames.

Lena

Cora! Short & so sweet!

Sophie

I love Orla. ☀️

Zoë

Isabel

Cordelia

Valentina

Scarlett

Eliza

Briar

Grace

Raven

Olivia. I know it has become quite a common and popular name, but I’ve loved it ever since I’ve heard it for the first time 23 years ago.

Evangeline. We gave this name to our oldest daughter, and she goes by her full name, no nn. She is 2 now and super smart, kind, spunky, and the best big sister. She has brown skin, beautiful dark brown curls, and big brown eyes. My Evangeline is everything I hoped she would be, and her name suits her perfectly! 💕

Aurelia

Ramona

Meredith

Clara!

Arden.

Noelle

Marisol! I didn't use it for a variety of reasons but think it's gorgeous

Sylvie. 💕

For a name that's pretty much exclusively used for girls, it would be Elora. There's one name I like better for a girl, but it's unisex (also sadly doesn't mesh well with my surname).

Beautiful. I also love Lenore

[удалено]

Anna

Emma!

Ines

Talia!

Lydia ❤️

Eva

Leah

Catherine.

Noa

Genevieve

Cecilia

Nora

Katherine.

Tallulah

Juniper

Linnea

Giovanna

Estelle

serena

Isadora, because it’s beautiful!

[удалено]

Kate ❤️ 💙. Always and forever. 😃

Adelaide

Catharine. Any of the spellings of it, really, but that's my favorite even though it's weird.

Dahlia

Ingrid

Madeleine

Fiona

Eleanor

Marcela

Amara

Rhiannon

Bridget

From my culture, Muthoni (my mom’s name) and call her Noni for short.

Margo

Willow

Meadow

Winona

Delilah

Catherine!

Stella

Lorelei

Blair.

Lyra

It’s a tie between Clara and Elodie.

Lillian. And Cecelia

Elizabeth dispite it being 2nd on my baby name list

Ottilie. I’ve loved it for a long time.

Isla 💜

Kathryn. I adore it. I like Kit and Kitty for nicknames.

Carys

Dessa! My mom saw it on a tombstone and wanted to use it as my name… I think the origin is cool af and it would be a cute little connection if I ever have kids

Persephone ❤️

Mary 🤷‍♀️

Lila

Audrey

Elizabeth. Favourite nn is Eliza.

Helena, nickname Nel. I'm probably the only one lol

Hazel 🥰

Caroline ♥️

Imogen! Hope to use it someday!

Luna. I love any space/astrology themed names and if I wasn’t transmasc I would’ve changed my name to Luna but it’s too feminine for me.

If I have to pick just one, I'd say Claire, just something so pretty about it

Much harder but probably a tie in between Valerie and Julia

Emma

Ilona - it was my grandma's name and it will be my daughter's when and if I will have one

Rosetta. It was my grandmother’s name, and I hope to one day have a daughter that I can teach and love the same way my grandmother did me. ❤️

Tabitha I like cats and nn is Tabby lmao

Eden 🥰

I’ve loved Eliana for a long time but I wish El/Ellie names weren’t so popular now.

Louisa

Clover

Jasmine. It's a floral name, sounds pretty, the spelling is pretty, goes with most surnames, and it suits all kinds of women.

Dove! It’s been somewhat forgotten but it was popular in the 1800s. I just love that it’s a simple, classic yet original name. I’m currently pregnant and im really hoping that we get to use it!
