Short list for girls

Ciao. I'm having a dilemma with my short list for girls; I find it a bit bland. Nothing seems to be clicking lately. What do you think?

Nadia
Miranda
Meredith
Perrin
Rowan
Charlotte
Eliana

Just for fun, what are your short lists for girls? Thanks

I find mine bland lately, too; that's why I decided to involved in a name community again (for the introductions!)

I don't even keep a list any more, but today (and most days) I love best:

Afton
Branwen
Deladis
Nimue
Linnea
Colinda
Saoirse
Camille

Saoirse is SO neat. I saw the post you made about it, and I think it's totally awesome.

I really like Perrin.

[identity profile] tigress-oils.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Perrine is a family name for me, so I kind of like Perrin, too. But it does sort of remind me of Lea & Perrins.

I think Nadia & Charlotte are lovely.

Delilah

Beatrix
Bella
Freya
Georgette
Ilsa
Rita
Tallulah
Valentina

I love the name Freya spelled Freja.

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_x_blackroses_x/ 2006-07-06 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I love that spelling too, I can never quite decide which I prefer. :) (I think when I spelled it Freja in my first post here everyone who said they liked it spelled it Freya. xD)

As a Polish girl, I could never figure out how to say Chaya. It sounds gorgeous, though.

Love Daphne and Callista, although I wouldn't use them.

[identity profile] mrsduryee.livejournal.com 2006-07-06 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
mmm Calista is a lovely name. I forget about that one. I loved that show Ally McBeal!

[identity profile] tigress-oils.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh, Sparrow!

You've got to stop showing me your names, Jen. I always steal them.

[identity profile] elemmennope.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
It's unfortunately rather attached to Jack Sparrow right now, which isn't why I like it. But oh well, I guess there are worse things that being reminded of Johnny Depp.

I don't mind stealing.

[identity profile] julieannie.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
I love the name Delphine. I would probably use it as a mn more. It was my bf's grandmother's name.

[identity profile] elemmennope.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
I'd probably use it as a mn too. It's the mn of my current top combo actually.

[identity profile] itcouldbelove.livejournal.com 2006-07-06 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I like Meredith and Charlotte. Eliana isn't too bad.

I don't really have a short list. I have one favorite girl name and one favorite boy name and that's it. The rest I can't really decide 100%.

[identity profile] cathkitten.livejournal.com 2006-07-07 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
I think your names are beautiful. Something that helps to get excited about them is to read about people with those names. For Charlotte, read Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte. For Miranda, read the Tempest by Shakespeare. It helps foster a sense of pride in the name, I think.

My List:

Anne
Elizabeth
Margaret
Eloise
Louisa
Cecilia
