[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

My husband to be and I have our top 2 agreed upon girls names. But now that he has gotten his coveted full time placement and the dream of kids seems more imminent I am making a list of other girls names I like as well (fiance really wants a girl).
Top 2 (names that we compromised to agree upon):
Eleanor Freya
Mia Simone

Other girls names I like:
Alice
Violet
Lily
Lila (LIE-la)
Iris
Cordelia
Hannah
Seraphina
Sophie
Charlotte
Willa

thoughts? additions?

Mia Simone is lovely. I'm not personally a fan of Eleanor, but I've got nothing against it.

Alice, Violet, Lily, Lila, Iris, Hannah, Charlotte, those are all beautiful. :) I especially adore Lila.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

thanks. I adore Lila too. Whenever I mention it to finace though he starts singing "Lyla" by Oasis in non-flattering way to the name lol

Well, just because your fiance really wants a girl doesn't mean you're going to get one, there's a fifty percent chance you'll get a boy, so you'd better start thinking of boys' names as well. :P

That being said, I like all your girls' names.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

Lol don't worry, we have a top 3 of boys names. Girls names are harder for us to agree on than boys names for some reason. Which is why I focus on girls names so much, I'm always searching for a name we'll both adore.
Anyway our top 3 boys names are:
Asher Everett
Caleb Uriah
Elijah Abraham

And we both also like Jonah and Gabriel, and I love Nathaniel but fiance not so much.

[lady529.livejournal.com]

I really like the name Asher Everett for some reason, Caleb Uriah seems a bit too much for a child (or for anybody younger than 80), though I love the name Caleb, and Elijah Abraham sounds almost destined to be a priest. Like both names, just not together. That could just be me, though, I'm not a very big fan of überreligious names, so feel free to ignore : )

lol well not a priest, maybe a Rabbi (we're Jewish).

[lady529.livejournal.com]

Ah, Rabbi then : P I'm not going to demand the priest part, hehe.. It's strange, I like both Elijah and Abraham as English names (=names in English, not necessarily England), but both just seem to conjure this image of the most religious person on the planet. Along with Rakel Magdalena (once again, nothing against either name, just not overly fond both at once).

Wow I ADORE your boy names so much! Caleb, Elijah, Jonah and Gabriel are on my top 10 list for boys.

As for your girls' names, while I'm commenting:

Alice - A lot of people like this name, but not me
Violet - cute, but a bit trendy
Lily - Lovely
Lila (LIE-la) - I realy like this name, but I always think of Sweet Valley High
Iris - cute
Cordelia - sweet. I like the nn you can derive: Delia, Lia, Deli, etc
Hannah - meh. I notice this is the only Hebrew name you've included....
Seraphina - A bit much
Sophie - nms
Charlotte - Lovely
Willa - kinda old

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

thanks :)
I first heard of Lila reading the Sweet Valley High books as a teen actually.

Oh and I do like alot of Hebrew girls names (Hadassah, Adara, Aviva, Shoshana, Avra, Talia, Devorah, Levana etc) but every name of that strain I mention to my fiance he either says is "too Jewish" and/or it reminds him of the "Jappy" (Jewish American Princess) girls he went to high school with. So I've given up. Actually one of the reasons I like like Eleanor though, is that "Elinor" is a Hebrew name that means "God is my light".

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

and the Elinor is Sense & Sensibility is spelled that way! :)

I always like Eliana, also Hebrew for God is my light.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I like Eliana/Iliana but I think it's a little too close to my Hebrew name (Ilana).

[screaming--pink.livejournal.com]

Love Cordelia and Charlotte.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

Charlotte we wouldn't probably use as a middle name because fiance doesn't like it so much. But I adore Cordelia, I hope I can use it one day.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

durr that should say "Charlotte we would probably use as a middle name"

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

oooh I like Cordelia Violet. It's so lovely!
I'm gonna suggest that combo to my fiance.

heehee I guess I do like flower names, I didn't notice when I was typing them that 3 of those names are flowers.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

In Eleanor Freya I feel like those two names are thrown in together, without having much to do with each other.

Mia Simone on the other hand sound harmonious together, although I like Mia but not Simone.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I don't actually really love Freya and I agree that they seem unharmonious but my fiance LOVES Freya and with Eleanor to boot and he wore me down. I wanted Eleanor Iris.
I told him I didn't like them together because Eleanor is classic and elegant, whereas Freya seems more earthy and hippy to me. But he said that that was why he liked the together because he wants his daughter to be both classic and elegant and earthy and hippyish.
And really it makes him so happy and it's only a middle name so I gave in.

[eleanorgrace.livejournal.com]

I love Eleanor (for possibly obvious reasons), and I like Freya, but I agree with the above poster that they're somewhat odd together. But if you two have found them and compromised to agree, then why mess up a good thing?
I like Mia a lot; I have a relative by that name.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

:)
I explained why we chose Eleanor Freya in my above comment to th3_unicorn but I'll add that my fiance also likes it because my grandmother's name is Frieda and he wants to honour her by using a name similar to hers.

[crackadictdream.livejournal.com]

I LOVE WILLA! I wanted to use Willa but the bd will not have it. : (

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

yeah I don't think my fiance will agree to it either but I can still dream!

[godmod.livejournal.com]

I like Mia Simone alot. Mia is one of my favorite girl's names.

The rest of your names are gorgeous, with the possible exception of Serafina. It just seems like she would end up being called Sera, and that's pretty plain.

I really like Alice as well. So uncommon, but so well known.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

Yeah I don't like Sera and the possibility of that nickname would make me think long and hard before naming a daughter Seraphina.
Mia Simone is my fiance's favourite :)
