My favorite names today :)

[soulsurvival.livejournal.com]

opinions please! I'm afraid I'm getting a little too conservative in my old age! (Not actually old just feeling clucky and 22, which is young, i geuss, it's relative.) 

Sophia Grace!!! I saw that either here or on myspace and thought it was so cute, and way more conservative than I'm usually into. *read=not weird and super-new-agey :-) which I have a tendency to, whether that is a good or bad thing. 

Lyra Ophelia (Initials would be Loc) Fave character in the golden compass series by phillip pullman! She is a hero/anti-hero thing 

Lily Ophelia- (Would honestly depend on how I thought about the kid/what it seemed like when I saw it. Some lillies seem to fit their names a lot better than others. eh well.. i also don't like it's apparent growing popularity 
(Initials would still be loc, which reminds me of lock or locke, that writer dude with the social contract or whatev, 

Ella Marie - Today I really like this name. It's kinda feminine, yet tough, to me. I can picture calling "Ella Marie C---get your butt in here for dinner!" lol 
---
okay here's some more.. risky.. names that I like.

Eris Stella - my bf is a discordian, which means he likes chaos and is a follower of the goddess eris of dischord. 
                      it used to be a classic greek thing, but now it's more a joke religion. Stella means star and I just kinda 
                      like it. chaos goddess star or something. initials would be ESC :-) Kinda like escape, or esque, not 
                      horrible, to me. Tho it's kinda gothy and idk 

Stella Kallisti - Means star to the prettiest one (stella=star, kallisti=to the prettiest one) my boyfriend always 
                       wears a golden apple around his neck inscribed with the greek letters for kallisti, which is a 
                       Discordian thing. :-)  It's from a myth where Eris the Chaos goddess wasn't invited to a party, so 
                      she throws a golden apple into 
                      this party where all the gods and goddesses were. The apple was inscribed with Kallisti-
                      meaning to the prettiest. Of course all the goddesses fought over it because they thought they were 
                       hotstuff. lol :-) SKC init.

I saw this name for a girl, Galilee... it's kind of mormonish lol but I actually LOVE it at the moment! You could call her gal or lilee. 

Emerson for a girl. Kind of controversial since it's based on a male romantic writer... but I actually like it. some famous person.. teri thatcher or something used it apparently. i could see it being cute for a girl 

Ryder as a first name. only thing is would it automatically make you think of winona? i don't like her that much, i don't NOT like her, but,,, eh. 

Azalia, Gretta, Melody, Indira, Pearl!! I like pearl today a lot. Kalia, Mimi, Isis-(wiccan thing I guess) Gemma, Brighid

Thanks for your ideas! Night everyone! ^-^

Lyra Ophelia is totally stunning. I love it. Lily Ophelia is okay, but there are sooooo many Lily/Lilly/Lillia/Lilianas born these days... And it just doesn't compare to Lyra Ophelia!!

Stella Kallisti is actually a nice idea. I never thought of using Kallisti as a name, but it's kind of cool - like Callisto! My only concern with it would be, naming your daughter "to the most beautiful" is kind of like calling yourself "the most beautiful," you know? And I would want my daughter's name to be all her own. Still, it has a nice flow, and I love Stella.

I don't like Eris Stella because it sounds too much like Maris Stella, a common epithet for the Virgin Mary.

Sophia Grace is pretty, but Sophia is top ten currently and Grace has to be one of the most common mns in the country right now... so it seems a bit blah to me. I feel similarly about Ella Marie - both very, very popular right now.

I love Greta, Azalia/Azalea, Indira, Pearl, Gemma and Brighid. Have you considered Anzia? I love Anzia and Azalea, though obviously not together.

Dislike Ryder, as I find it sort of suggestive sounding, particularly on a girl - "ride 'er." :/

Thanks!

Thanks for your advice! I didn't know that about the mother mary thing. That's interesting! Also, Anzia is kind of neat too :)
