I'm wondering what you guys think of Idina(f) as a first name?
I also need help with a second name, because I like Indigo and Lavinia, but...I can sort of see a problem with the Id in the first name and the Ind in the second. Also the A at the end of Idina and the A at the end of Lavinia. Lavinia is my grandmothers middle name so I'm favouring it over Indigo, but it would be great if you have any names that you think would go well between Idina and Lavinia, or just a whole new middle name altogether.

When I first saw Idina I immediately thought India (which I honestly prefer). I love Indigo as a middle name but you're right, it doesn't flow with the first name. I would go with Idina Lavinia. I knew a Lavinia in college and she went by Vinnie. I thought that was super cute!

I agree with this. It wasn't actually until I read the comment that I went back and realized it didn't say India. That would be my biggest issue with the name, it seems like it would be mispronounced frequently.

Yeah, it's that crazy thing where the first and last letters are in the right place so the brain just automatically places the others where it thinks they should be! Variations are Adina and Edina, but I prefer the I.

I chose the name Indigo for the middle because I like the nickname Indi/Indy, but didn't want to use India.

It makes me think of Idina Menzel, who I love but it's not my favourite name in the world.

More socially acceptable than Elphaba though, right :)
And Idina is better than my original love- the name 'Wednesday' haha

[jordle.livejournal.com]

Elphaba is a major guilty pleasure for me! I know a girl called Wednesday.

[boobeedoo.livejournal.com]

What does everyone think about her being named Wednesday? Because I think Wednesday Lavinia is cute.
I love Elphaba too ^-^

Wednesday Lavinia actually has a nice ring to it. Wednesday is a bit of a strange girl. She likes to do things on a whim. The name suits her.

I've liked Wednesday ever since I watched Addams family haha.
Also, I am swooning over your Castle icons <3

[boobeedoo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I love the Addams Family!! I love Wednesday from the TV series, she's cute and not as dark as the movies.
Also, you're Skins icon is rather swoon-worthy too!

Don't know about Idina (I prefer Adina) but I loe Lavinia!

[mrssubee.livejournal.com]

I think of Idina Menzel (who I love) but, don't care for the name...and it doesn't really go with your middle choices

[designingdreams.livejournal.com]

Exactly this.

I immediately thought of Idunna, who is a norse goddess associated with youth. I'm sure Idina is actually a name, but my first thought was that it's a mispelling of Idunna.

[becomingun.livejournal.com]

I think Idina Menzel. Love her, don't love the name or even like it really. TBH it looks like you mispelled India.

[eveyalecia.livejournal.com]

I don't really like Idina, but I love Indigo and Lavinia!

Idina Lavinia definitely flows better than Idina Indigo.

[sictransitsuzy.livejournal.com]

I see your concerns with the Id/Ind and the A/A ending and I have to say they both throw me off. Sorry :\

I also saw "India" at first, then when I went back and saw Idina, I thought of Idina Menzel. I think it's an alright name but I don't think it goes very well with Indigo or Lavinia. Maybe Idina Lavi.

[jessicamariek.livejournal.com]

Like everyone else, I thought of Idina Menzel, whom I love. :) It doesn't quite flow with your middle names, but I can see it working if you put a one or two syllable name between the first and middle names.

[forloveofbaby.livejournal.com]

Idina is on our short list, though as a middle name, so I love it. I also like the flow of Idina Lavinia

[boobeedoo.livejournal.com]

Oh yay! I was beginning to think with all the previous comments that everyone hated it! I am the kind of person to be fueled by the fact that no one else likes it though haha

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

I've always liked Idina. I guess I'm sort of in the minority. I do think Idina Lavinia just sounds better.

I love Lavinia - reminds me of the story Titus Andronicus by Shakespear. The character Lavinia is raped, has her hands and tongue cut off so she will never be able to tell what has happened to her. She uses her mouth and stumps to write it in the dirt - while the connotations Lavinia may bring, to me, ultimately this name means survival.
