[jasmine.lee]

Farrah: I just love this.
Svetlana: I really like Swedish names, any suggestions?
Immy: I have recently posted a thread on this, I really need a full name for Immy (besides Imogen)
Zelda: I know this is a comic book, but its a cute name, but I don't know if I love it though.. any similar suggestions?

Thanks

BTW, if you have any questions about my threads or whatever, I WILL answer them!!

Farrah: I like this, and think it's been long enough since Farrah Fawcett was uber-popular that it's no longer automatically associated with her
Svetlana: Um, NMS. Makes me think of a spy.
Immy: Not a huge fan, but interested to see what you decide on to get to this as a nickname
Zelda: I do love this one. If you're not convinced, what is it about Zelda that you like? Maybe that wil help lead to one you love.

Farrah: Makes me think of the teen mom. I used to love it when I was in highschool.
Svetlana: I'm sorry, but I hate this. Waaaay too guilty pleasure-ish to use IRL. Its pretty, but unfortunately sounds like a hooker.
Better options:
Svea
Ventana
Pettrina
Carina
Immy: could be a cute NN.
Imelda
Imena
Imogene-I know you don't like Imogen, but I feel like the two pronunciations are so different.
Seraphim
Wilhelmina
Crimson
Primrose
Maxima
Kimber
Timber
Jemima
Or you could always do something with the initials, IE: Isla Margaret, Iris Marie, Ingrid Maxwelle. All could have the nn Immy.
Zelda: I immediately think of the video game or the character from Sabrina the Teenage Witch. It's just too fantasy related for my taste.

Farrah - LOVE it.
Svetlana- Definitely makes me think of a sultry lady, but that could be a good thing later in life.
Immy- Cute! Short for Amelia, Emily, or Miriam, perhaps?
Zelda- yes. THIS!

Farrah: I don't like it, it sounds coarse.
Svetlana: Reminds me of "light" and "saint", so I'm quite unsure. I like the sound of it.
Immy: As a nickname, It's cute.
Zelda: Like this one, my favorite out of the four. It has a nice sound.

Zelda is my favorite on your list. I didn't know about the comic book--I immediately thought of Zelda Fitzgerald- F Scott Fitzgerald's wife and the Great Gatsby Good luck!

Farrah: I think this is really, really pretty. My favourite from this list.

Svetlana: I don't like the "svet" sound. The Lana part is pretty.

Immy: Cute nn, and I'm not fond of Imogen either. The only other name that starts with "Im" I can think of is Imelda. Which rhymes with Zelda! So, maybe you'll like it!
Other ideas (these are a bit more of a stretch than Imogen or Imelda, but here goes):
Kimberly nn Immy
Simone nn Immy
Imara nn Immy

I can't think of anything else!!

Zelda: I like this, but as someone who doesn't play videogames, I still associate it with a video game! Other Z names...Zara, Zola, Zinnia...and Imelda is similar too!

I don't like Farrah at all, I have very negative associations with it.
Svetlana I like, it's very seductive though.
Immy I'm no fan of.
Zelda is too video gamey for me.

Perhaps you'd like Zara?

[flick]

I love Zelda.

Farrah: I think of the late actress Farrah Fawcett (big hair and teeth). Fawcett's mother supposedly made up her name. I prefer the Arabic spelling of Farah which is a real name. It has a pretty sound and it's not overused.

Svetlana: This name is Russian not Swedish. It's exotic but I think the "Svet" part isn't really that pretty.

Russian names: Anastasia, Natalia/Natasha, Tatiana, Oksana,Olga, Vera, Larissa/Lara, Anya, Ludmilla, Raisa, Sonia, Valentina, Tania/Tanya, Irina, Hana, Galina, Daria, Alina, Aleksandra and Nadezhda.

Swedish names: Greta, Frida, Linnea, Sonja, Siri, Thora, Svea, Signe, Ingrid, Freya, Astrid, Britt and Annika.


Immy: Too nicknamey for a full name. Not my favourite nn either.

Zelda: I think of the literary association with F. Scott Fitzgerald's wife Zelda more than anything else. How about Zola, Zara, Zillah or Zilpha?
