four month old's name- want new suggestions

So, it came down to Blythe and Thea. Although I'm settled on Blythe, DH had a turn of emotion and says not really liking Blythe anymore. Thea isn't it for me. We're both so worn of looking for names. I don't know what else to do. I'm going to just settle on Thea for DH, but I wanted to give it one last shot at finding the perfect name that we both love.

Someone in a previous post offered to try to help us make a new list...Can you help?

Here's what I'm looking for, and things that we've used to look for names...

-I love nature names.
-DH loves classic eastern european and greek names (Phaedra, Nadia, Althea...) *we are neither eastern european or greek...
-We both agree she needs a shorter name to balance the long double barrel last name
-We want a name with a strong meaning.
-She is a happy and light soul. We would both love to have a name that reflects this without being too cutesy.
-She has beautiful eyes
-Want a unique name. Prefer not on the top 1000, but certainly not in the top 50.
-Her mn is Miriam
-Her last name is similar to Jackson-Ford
-I don't want the nn's Addy, Maddy or Cori
-I she had been a boy, her name would have been either Asher Vail or Lucien (Luca) Vail. (it was so strange- we agreed on EVERY boy name we talked about... how is it that girl names are like night and day to us?!?!)

Here was our last long list, to give you an idea of naming style
Thea
Blythe
Lark
Jewel
Ruby
Imogen
Willow
Althea
Aurora
Vada
Ember
Cora/Coral/Coraline (I just CANT dig Cori)
Nora
Isadora

tia.

Re: four month old's name- want new suggestions

I only have a couple of suggestions how about

Lucia (pn lou-chee-ah) meaning light

or

Halcyon (pn hal-cee-yon) - greek, meaning Kingfisher and calm & tranquil, doesn't go so well with Miriam though x

Re: four month old's name- want new suggestions

You've probably answered this in your other threads, but what are you calling her at home? What do you refer to her as?

If you both liked Luca, it has been used as a girls' name and I think it's very sweet, I don't know how you feel about that...

I'm going to think hard about this and try to come up with a list. Be back. :)

Thank you!
Although I know that Luca can be used as girl name, seems all boy to me.

As to what we call her- pet names mostly love, sweetheart, pretty eyes...
My friends call her Billie Jean. Because I'm a big michael jackson freak :P (and, no, although we very briefly considered it, I don't want to actually name her Billie Jean)

Re: four month old's name- want new suggestions

Hmm, okay, no Luca. ;) I searched through Greek names and nature names and here's what I came up with. I really hope you find something.

Calista
Samara
Ione/Ianthe
Thalia
Xantha
Aster
Lilac
Bryony

Re: four month old's name- want new suggestions

Thea, I assume you use the TH sound like in "the."

Do you like Téa better?

Anais (gracious)
Ines (pure)
Vera/Viera (faith/truth)
Eden (place of pleasure, delight)
Iris
Amaris (Lovely forever)

Just some ideas! Good luck!

Re: four month old's name- want new suggestions

Maybe you're right to step back and kind of start over. I hope we can help!

Ione - I like the ie-O-nee prn for you (instead of ie-ON). meaning: From the Greek ion meaning "violet flower". This was the name of a sea nymph in Greek mythology. (from behindthename.com).
Ione Miriam Jackson-Ford - I think it's lovely. Ione is Greek-based, so it might appeal to your dh; it has a lovely meaning (maybe not quite as strong a meaning as some of your previous choices but nice); is nature-related; and is related to the sea which evokes tranquility.

I'll come back if I think of more!
