I love Love Aurelia or Cressida with the nickname Goldie or even Marigold with the Short form Goldie. I love Love Winifred! Either with the Short form Win or Freddie! Avalon, Opal, Delaney, Ayla( although I would say it the Turkish way , Isla) , Avani, Isabeau, Theodora( although lately I have been really loving Dorothea), Vega, Cosette,Quinlan , Echo Elowen and Elysien , Sequoia and Olympia are all beautiful and would work quite well for a strong , romantic modern little princess warrior.I would like to add Nesrin to the list.I would perhaps use Wildflower as opposed to Wilde as a brave and unexpected middle name , with an obvious nature related theme.

When I figured out all the sisters had flower names my.mind was BLOWN as a child. I also remember The Darling Buds of May. One of the sisters was "Primrose Violet Anemone Iris Magnolia Narcissa". 😂

Love Avalon, Della, Emmylou, Goldie, Isabeau, Magnolia, Opal, Solveig, Tiggy, and Winifred! Stunning list! I actually have Samara Violet on my list.

I love your giggle after defining “Quinlan”! That’s my sister’s name but she prefers to go by Quin. She’s 14. Glad the name is gaining some recognition.

These names are so gorgeous I don't even know what to do. I need to start buying plants so I can use them. Solveig, that's stunning! And Sequoia, Fable, Locket, Oath is amazing, I think it works! Dovey is so cute! Solstice is on my list too. And yes to Schitt's Creek! Watching for the 2nd time, introducing it to my mother who's in her 60's and loves it

What do you think of Alfie and Zoe’s little girl’s name - Ottilie Rue Deyes? I think it fits the criteria of romantic heroine. 😍

I always love your videos, they’re so peaceful and always put me in a good mood :) I don’t even want children but found your videos when looking for a name for my puppy and was instantly hooked! Can’t wait for more podcasts - you and Naomi have become my driving buddies! Loads of love from another girlie who got out of Swindon town!!

I knew a Myrtle as “Aunty Myrtle” growing up. She was a grandma but babysat for us (not actually related to us). She’s close to 100 now. So I always associate that name with a super sweet, kind older lady 💕

Oh this list made me so happy!!! I’ve had a name picked out before I was even pregnant and always wondered if it was “SJ approved”. 🤣 Made me even more excited for our Delainey Wren’s arrival in December 💕🥰😍

The majority of these are already on our list !! Love this genre 💗plenty of strong and unusual but wearable choices for a little fierce lady 😍

Love this list, this is one the best naming lists I've ever seen. Gave me some new ideas. Elysienne is beautiful, and love the connection behind it. So special that name was chosen by a subscriber

I'm done naming babies but now I want to get a highland cow and name her Solveig! 😄❤ Farrah is happy in Arabic and in never considered it but I love it!!! I have an Ava, Avalon is lush; I did go with Albion for my youngest. Great list SJ!

Echo, Oath, Fable, Vega, Dovey & Hero ❤❤❤ Also love: Avalon, Skylar, Bravery, Solstice, Elysienne, Olympia, Harvest, Sequoia, Locket, Dusty, Juniper, Magnolia & Elowen. Also Valli (don't normally like alternative spellings at all, and I love Valley, but when I heard the other nature meaning that made it cool!)

Juniper, Delaney, Elowen and Olympia are my faves! Juniper Layne is my top combo. Could never do Oath, I’m Australian and I instantly thought f#@%ing oath 🤭

Those are my favorites too lol except I dont think I can use Delaneg bc I actually briefly dated a guy with the name

Thought I'd add another Gabrielle variation for you. Almost 30 years ago, my close friend named her daughter Sabrielle. I've never met anyone else with the name. Also, I've mentioned the name Dimity on this forum before. People might not like it because of associating "dim" with "stupid" but it actually has several meanings, a checked cotton fabric used a lot for dresses in Victorian times (so similar to the name Calico) and an old English dialect word for dusk or twilight.

Omg this list is to die for 🤩 I love Avalon, Farrah, Della, Fable, and Harvest are my favorites. Favorite combo is Avalon Fable!

What a beautiful list! Some of them were a bit too out there for me but the general atmosphere of all the names was amazing ✨

A character on the show Lost Girl was named Isabeau! She shortened it to Bo. Love the name Theodora! I’d use either the nickname Theo or Thea. I would go with the combo of Theadora Malachi. Also really love Fable. Chantara is cool too! I LOVED Keeping Up Appearances! (It was broadcast on a US channel as reruns that I watched when I was a teen.)

Amazing list as usual! Sooo many thoughtful and striking offerings. Wild is top of my list for a boy. Not sure if we’ll choose the e ending, or keep it simple

I love Avalon! And Sequoia for a girl is just brilliant. Wonderful list of many names I never even thought of. Wow, amazing job.

Hey SJ ~ I saw your consult with the French Couple that chose the name Elysienne. I thought they would pick that name for sure as the gentleman’s face lit up when you said it and looked directly at his wife. So happy for them. You are a gift girlfriend. 🇨🇦

I feel like Dovey is the more sophisticated version of names like Kitty. Also-love the name. Charlotte Magnolia if anyone wants to use it! Husband’s not a fan but I adore it!

I had a great-aunt Valley on my Pappy’s side of the family…I love Eulalie, Maple, Gladiola, Thomasina, Davina, LaHoma, LaMorna, Elleby, Dreama, and my niece’s stepdaughter is named Mikindy. I love it!

Aww so happy to see EmmyLou on your list! My friend who's pregnant is going to name the baby Emilia Louise if it's a girl and call her EmmyLou :) So cute!

love this list! please do more similar xx

Such a good list, quite a mix of styles!

Love this list, quite a few names on here that I have on my list for our future babies ☺️ 💖

Valli teminds me of that line from Jersey Boys 😂 very cool! Quinleigh came to mind when you said Quinlan

I've loved the names Gloria and Joy for so long, and I also love Theodora! I have been loving the names Quilla and Emmeline recently as well, I think they are so beautiful!

For some reason when you said Oath as a middle name, the combo Avery Oath popped into my head. It sounds so pretty to me.

I’ve been following your channel since struggling to name our first girl. I’m the “wacko” one, and my husband the traditionalist as well. After having a soft spot for Salem for most of my pregnancy, a coworker of mine used the name for her daughter born just a couple weeks before ours. We ended up with our baby girl, Freyja James. Recently we found out baby number two (and maybe three- I sense twins) is on the way! We’ve decided not to determine the sex before delivery. Very exciting, but twice the baby name pressure! My husband is happy to revert back to baby name Salem, but with all these new options, I can’t handle the baby name envy! Loving Della, Sequoia, and Samara (which was on baby #1 list as well and has sentimental meaning to us as particularly night owlish lovebirds). Our girl names are being chosen to pair with middle name Anlya, pronounced an-lee-uh, in honor of my favorite dear cousin who tragically passed away. I’ve never seen the name Anlya on your channel and I think it’s right up your alley so I wanted to throw it a mention. Thanks for all your work, and can’t wait for next weeks boy list to match!

In the US, the name Salem could raise eyebrows because it is immediately associated with our infamous witch trials. Also, Stephen King uses it in horror stories as a short form for the town of Jerusalem's Lot, aka 'Salem's Lot. So it winds up being a name with associations for both witches and vampires. It does sound beautiful with Anlya. Everything sounds beautiful with Anlya! Love that name.

Ahh I think this is my favourite list so far! Every single name was gorgeous:)

A lot of names on all the lists you make aren't really useable here in Germany but I'm still loving your videos because i always think you never know what happens maybe one day i wake up in new york or Brisbane. Who knows? But once in a while there is a name that is really amazing for my list here. (like your daughters name Evelina - only the first e sounds differnt but very beautiful to the way you say it) Today the name Bianca / Bianka totally hit me. It's soo cute!!

I adore Isabeau, blame the film Ladyhawke :-) Gloria and Elowen are delightful. I have been fond of the name Bobbie ever since reading The Railway Children when I was young, the character of Bobbie was a nickname for a Roberta which is also quite cool! Theodora and Magnolia are both fabulous!

Opal has ALWAYS been my absolute favorite for a little girl and always felt it never got the attention it deserved…maybe that’s a good thing for me ;)

I like the arabic meaning, but we chose it moreso off of the Hebrew meaning. But it can also be considered a place name (locations in Russia) and there is a house in the US designed by architect frank lloyd wright called the Samara house or a nature name since samara is the name of the seeds of certain trees

I named my daughter Elowyn after watching one of your videos!💕

I'm still so happy that as an avid watcher/listener for years you chose my favourite ever name for your kitten 😁😁💛

I'd never really thought about Devin before, but I really like it for a boy!

Opal is my daughter’s middle name! I’ve always loved Gloria, and can’t figure out why it isn’t more popular! I added Elysienne to my list after watching this video!

I had a Quinnlyn in my class a few years back and loved it…Kiki is my nickname because my niece could not Katie when she was little and it just stuck.

12:27 I've loved the name Isabeau ever since I heard it in the film 'Ladyhawke'.

I knew a lady named Avalon Hapenny at one time. I always thought it was a beautiful name. When I was a little girl, it reminded me of an older English lady who had a magical and mythical garden. I always thought it would somehow make a great book with an unsuspecting super hero. Ha. I also knew two ladies whose names were Vallie and Nova. My daughter has a friend whose sister’s name is Sophie Dove. 😀

Love seeing my name Gloria on the list ❤️

Absolutely Love Hyacinth and Magnolia. My neice was born last month and she was called Hyacinth named after the girl on Bridgeton.

I looked up the name sequoia and it’s originally a Cherokee name meaning sparrow! How cute!

I have a little Gloria in my family who gets called Glo 💕

I’d love to see my oldest daughter’s name on one of these lists: Sarina ❤️

My favorites from this list are Delaney, Isabeau (I prefer it with a y instead of an i) Elysienne, Everdeen and Solveig. I would add Amadora (gift of love) to this list

My name is Genevieve and I’m always so pleased that my mum chose it, it’s not often people like their own name lol

You just shared one of my names! My grandmother is Gloria. We shared the same initials until I got married so I’m attached to her name. My grandfather called her Glo 😍

Winifred was my grandmother's name. She went by Winnie and really suited it, I really love it and think it's beautiful, but maybe that's just because she was and I adored her (still do), I dunno. Beautiful list though ❤

I really liked the name Avalon for a while but also liked any name that had layne,laine,lane in. Used my creative skills and got Avalaine

One day I thought of Solstice as a name and my boyfriend and mom tell me I’m doing too much🤣 I’m taking a screen shot of this right now! I have no children as of yet or anything I just love baby names.

I can't remember exactly which gender he was suggesting it for but Sequoia reminds me of the Friends episode where Ross and Rachel are coming up for the baby that would become Emma, as a joke Ross rattles off a whole list (I actually think it was for boys but I could be wrong) of names he'd be ok with Rachel naming the baby if he left it up to her. The last name on the list is Sequoia bu after Rachel says it and Ross realises she's actually considering it he vetoed it. I have to say as much as Sequoia Geller-Green has a certain ring to it, it just doesn't go with the names of Jack and Judy Geller's other grandchildren (Ben, Jack and Erica)

I love the name Elowyn with Winnie or Ellie as a nickname. I like to pronounce it as Ell-oh-win

Indra and Della are my favorites. I don't know why but my first thought to go with Indra is Davy. Indra Davy sounds pretty. I never imagined Davy for a girl's middle name but it has a sweet meaning. I like Della Layne together.

I have two Daughters, Aliza and Amina. I just adore their names. Avalon was also at the top of my list for my first daughter. 💕😊

Beautiful names sj. I loved Myrtle layne Avalon Opal.Theodora fable.❤️.

Love you headboard - where’s it from?

My favorite pairing from this list would be Skylar Magnolia! If we had had a third girl, I think I probably would have pushed to get Magnolia as the middle name, and Skylar was our list. I also love Juniper and Sequoia. I have a great aunt Gloria, I always thought her name was beautiful! And I know someone who has a daughter named Ayla Fern.

My dog is Opal, I’ve always been a teensy bit bummed I didn’t save her name for a baby. Some more that I love that I think would fit on this list are Calpurnia and Joyous! My great grandmother was Native American and her name was Joyous Sarah and I can’t wait to use it for my little girl as well.

Ayla is pronounced the same as Isla. It’s a popular Turkish name. “ay” (pronounced “eye”) means moon.

It can also be pronounced A-la. Though to be fair, I do Believe that this particular pronunciation is from around 1986 when Clan of the Cave Bear came out. Daryl Hannah plays Ayla (A-la), which is supposed to be a short form of a longer name that is never given. I managed to find some old interview with the author of the book on some web page and she mentions the name never really had meaning. She just made female names two syllables and end with a vowel and make names one syllable and end with a consonant.

Skylar I feel was really popular here like 10-15 years ago (US) but I feel like knowing the relation to scholar makes me want to bring it back. Or maybe its the Hamilton connection for me now (phonetically) so I wouldn't have to choose between Angelica or Eliza 😂

Devin/Devon was oddly popular for girls in my area when I was growing up, I went to highschool with 4 or 5 girls named Devon, on top of around a dozen or more boys named Devin, and have met several other women my age with the name. It wasn't quite as popular as Jordan at the time, kind of like the less trendy alternative to Jordan for late 80s and early 90s parents. It's really fun to see it here! Elysienne is so pretty! Elysian is unfortunately a popular craft beer where I am which sort of rules either form out, but I still think it's a stunner! I love Myrtle! I always just picture a gorgeous vibrant crepe myrtle tree. 💖 Elowen, Winifred, Olympia (also partial to Olympe,) Opal, Magnolia, Hero, Twila, and Bianca I just adore. Oh I feel like Delaney really lends itself to Laney or Lane/Layne as nicknames. I think Oatha feels less loaded than outright using the word Oath while still having the same meaning. Dusty just doesn't seem like a pleasant descriptor to have as a name, but that might just be because I really hate dust. 😂 Can't wait for the boy list next week!
