Make me a girls' list based on my boys' list!

[augusta_lee]

After getting some awesome advice on another thread I've revamped my list of favorite boys' names. I'm in love with all of them. Problem is, my girls' list leaves me cold. So I'm starting over! Can you think of some girls names I will love based on the following boys names?

Thaddeus
Roscoe
Atlas
Wallace
Magnus
Rafferty
August
Marlowe
Ferdinand
Everett
Waldo
Baxter
Erasmus
Felix

My two favorites girls names are Marigold and Eloise -- though only Marigold is giving me the warm fuzzies right now.

I'll do my best to respond to every reply! Thank you, Berries!

You might like these:
Rosalind
Linden
Marguerite
Elodie
Ellery/Eleri
Athena
Freya
Eden
Adele
Jessamine/Jessamyn
Juniper
Junia
Cordelia
Magdalen(e)/Magdalena
Sabina
Sabine
Celeste
Celestia
Sylvie
Genève
See anything you like?

Marigold and Eloise are very nice!

Along the same lines as Eloise, do you like Eliora?

Some other options:
Azalea
Zephyr
Geneva
Hazel
Althea
Meira

I'm not sure if these would be your style or not -- you've got a great variety of boys names on your list!

Some very fun first-name prospects here!

"The Baby Name Wizard" book [2009] by Laura Wattenberg includes computer-generated sisters and brothers for its featured names.

Perhaps this will help a bit ...

Atlas' sisters: N/A
August's sisters: Alma, Helena, Olive, Honor, Mathilda
Baxter's sisters: N/A
Eloise's sisters: Clementine, Harriet, Leonie, Geneva, Mathilde
Erasmus' sisters: N/A
Everett's sisters: Genevieve, Cora, Adele, Estella, Antonia
Felix's sisters: Cleo, Genevieve, Zella, Nina, Avis
Ferdinand's sisters: Philomena, Magdalene, Hester, Cornelia, Jemima
Magnus' sisters: Linnea, Thora, Sigrid, Ailsa, Ione
Marigold's sisters: N/A
Marlowe's sisters: Audra, Harlow, Edie, Laine, Janna
Rafferty's sisters: N/A
Roscoe's sisters: Mabel, Tillie, Lola, Florida, Opal
Thaddeus' sisters: Catalina, Aurora, Avis, Valentina, Damaris
Waldo's sisters: N/A
Wallace's sisters: Harriet, Marian, Sybil, Willa, Muriel

Atlas = N/A
August = "ladies and gentlemen" name
Baxter = N/A
Eloise = "ladies and gentlemen" name
Erasmus = N/A
Everett = "antique charm" name
Felix = "exotic traditional" name
Ferdinand = "ladies and gentlemen" and "exotic traditional" name
Magnus = "exotic traditional" name
Marigold = N/A
Marlowe = "surfer '60s" name
Rafferty = N/A
Roscoe = "porch sitters" name
Thaddeus = "exotic traditional" name
Waldo = N/A
Wallace = "ladies and gentlemen" name

P.S. "N/A" above means a name isn't featured in the book.

Holy crap. I asked, and y'all DELIVERED!


Names I LIKE but wouldn't use:

Maris, Rosemary, Coralie, Ottilie, Romilly, Sorcha, Cleo/Clio (wish I could find a long form for this! I love it as a nn but hate Cleopatra), Magdalene, Freya, Claudia, Florence, Francesca, Coraline, Matilda, Scarlett, Linden, Elodie, Sabina, Cordelia, Celeste, Eliora, Genevieve, Linnea, Lola (maybe as a nn), Marian


I LOVE and would use:

Sylvie, Odette, Magnolia, Thessaly, Xanthe, Odessa, Iris, Alice, Saskia, Juniper, Zephyr (probably as a nn for Zephyrine), Geneva, Hazel (though I worry about popularity), Clementine, Harriet, Willa


I LOVE but don't know if I'd be brave enough to use:

Hero, Isis, Minerva, Artemis, Lilith, Arcadia, Mabel, Valentine


In terms of style:

I like names with two or more syllables. I like nature and place names. I like names with 's' and 'l' sounds. I like names that are uncommon and eclectic.


Please keep the suggestions coming! This has been so helpful.
