Bohemian girls' names-- poll

[noahsark]

Olympia Niamh just jumped off the page for me! Love it!

[dantea]

I like bits and pieces of them:

Phaedre
Lark
Faustine
Lilith
Olympia
Ariadne
Lumina
Severine

I liked these as a combo:

Magenta Lilith
Olympia Niamh
Poem Antigone
Lumina Salome

These I have issues with:

Neptune -- He's the Roman equivalent of Posieden. You might have been going for the planet, but it sounds so masculine to me
Calico -- like a cat?
Painter -- better for the middle I think
Phoenix -- most see it as unisex, but I've only met boys with this name so I can't picture it on a girl

I love Phaedra, it's definitely my favourite from your list!

[cristinamariane]

I have to say, I *love* Calico, cat image and all. Unfortunately it really was the name of my first cat, so I can't use it for anything else ever again. I like Lumina Salome best of all your choices, and would have picked Phaedra if it wasn't for the middle name Neptune. If you're going for a true Bohemian vibe, those three definitely fit best.

I love Calico, Olympia, Ariadne & Magenta so so much. I like Lark & Salome.

I love Calico! My first thought wasn't "cat" it was calico cloth. I think it has a sort of Little House on the Prairie feel to it. I also love Olympia, but we are considering a move to Olympia, Wa.

Phaedra is growing on me as well. I dislike Cadenza as it reminds me of Credenza. I pity a girl who grows up with a name that reminds people of a bulky piece of furniture.

I've never heard of Calico before, I sense a new guilty pleasure name! Out of interest, what is the history to it?

[selenea]

I love the name Iphigenia - it's a beautiful name, and I love names from Greek mythology. Although I voted for Iphigenia, I also love Phaedra; Phaedra is on my own list.

I really like the name Ariadne. Every time I hear that name I think of Ellen Paige in the movie Inception.

You have a bunch of really cool names on your list! I like Magenta Lilith and Lumina Salome the most! I also like Olympia Niamh and Phaedra Neptune. I'm not a big fan of Ariadne but I really love Phoenix!

I think they're all usable on a real person.

I came across a little girl named Magenta not too long ago and her nn was Mage. I thought that was so cute!
