Please may I have some help on my top 10?
(I'm not pregnant or TTC, just so you know.)
So hi
; I don’t take my name lists to the boards very often but I recently kicked off what was once my absolute favourite name off my list, one which I was certain I would use in the future. Crazy, right? It just doesn’t appeal to me anymore. Can’t explain it but you probably get what I mean anyway. Anyway, I’ve kicked off other names before that and booting my "favourite" has just kind of derailed it, so my whole girl's list is looking kind of fragile right now.
Anything you can offer to the list (any opinions, combos, new names, etc.) would be fantastic. I just really need some guidance on it! Here it is:
1) Delilah Estelle or Delilah Celeste (this is the new favourite, btw. It is one of those names that has always been on my lists, so I do trust it)
2) Mercy [??????????????]
3) Liberty Charlotte or Liberty Isabella (like Delilah, it's just always been on lists, so it's trusted)
4) Isis Leona (nn Isey?)
5) Eve Lilibeth or Eve Lavinia
6) Ada Séraphine*
7) ??????????????????????????
8) ????????????????????????
9) ?????????????????????????
10) ?????????????????????
(*I asked a friend about this combo, but I have a really quiet voice and she thought I was saying ‘Ada’s therapy’ as opposed to Ada Séraphine. Do you think this would be a problem?)
Other names I like: Ivah, Salvadora, Amity, Rosalia, Ara, Magdalena, Celestine, Ameline, Sabine, Irene, Vivienne/Vivian, Fabiana, Adeline, Laverna, Lavinia, Thomasine, Aveline, Léontine.
Really, there are no restrictions on the names you can suggest. I love names in mythology, literature, science, the Bible, the Koran/Qu’ran, and of course the dictionary. Unusual, weird, classic, whatever. I prefer to stay out of the top 100 but if there is a name there you think I would love, just mention it anyway. ^^ I'm open to double middles, and opinions, even if it's only on one name. And I don't mind if you think any middles should be replaced. Like I said, I just really need the guidance.
Thanks so much!

I like Delilah Celeste a little better than Delilah Estelle; I think the soft C helps smooth the transition between the names where the "ah" ending and "Eh" start between Delilah Estelle is more awkward. I also think Liberty Charlotte and Eve Lavinia are the prettier of their options. And I don't think Ada Seraphine will get you Ada's therapy.
Some more ideas:
Clelia (nn Cleo)
Romilly (nn Romy or Milly)
Azura
Clemency (nn Clem, Emme, or Minnie)
Nazaret
Minuet (nn Minnie)
Laurence (the French prn)
Melissande (nn Liss, Mellie, Annie, etc)
Elettra
Lileas
Signy
Marilla (nn Mary or Rilla)
Merope or Meropi
Saskia
Eulalia or Eulalie
Verbena (nn Vera)
Sophronia (nn Sophie)
Penina (nn Penny, Nina, or Pearl)
Sidonie
Ansonia or Antonia
Romola (nn Romy)
Rosamond
Aurelia
Portia
Orinthia
Aphra
Not sure if any of those will stick, but it's fun to think outside the box for a while.

@ellenelle - Thank you! I love Sophronia! I think I might have to grant that a place on the list. I also like: Cleo, Azura, Romilly, Clemency, Saskia, Marilla, Lileas, Sidonie, Ansonia/Antonia and Signy. Penina is adorable. Wondering about Antonia nn Annie?
Also, you're right about the more awkward flow of Delilah Estelle compared to Delilah Celeste. Maybe I should reserve Estelle for a name ending in a consonant sound?
@sheflieswithherownwings - Thank you as well! Eve Margot Salvadora is beautiful. And I think Lilith deserves to be on the list. Adore Rosalia Simone and Liora Bellatrix. As well: Ariadne, Sybella, Viviana, Coraline. Isis Aveline, Liberty Isolde, Mercy Vivienne and Mercy Evangeline are also lovely. I will definitely put a lot of thought on Isis Aveline. Thanks again.

OK, how's this for a more complete list:
Delilah Celeste
Mercy Vivienne
Liberty Charlotte
Isis Aveline
Sophronia Coraline
Celestine Amity
Ada Séraphine
Lilith Sabine
Eve Magdalena
Ariadne Simone
I think I will put this in my signature and see how I feel about it over time.
Obviously if I used Delilah Celeste, Celestine Amity would be out, or if I used Celestine, all the other -ine names would be out as well.
