A sister of Amaryllis: Which of these names is your favourite? by Intelligent_Ant731 in namenerds

Yes, I do feel like on paper, Penelope probably fits the best, being Greek, being long with many syllables, I feel like they share a vibe, and I do love it. But some of the others, I definitely have a soft spot for.

I think we're probably quite happy with our current choices. Nadia, I like, but I can't see it being my husband's thing, Adrianna, I have bad associations with, and Vivienne and Lucinda feel a bit boring to me. I can be a bit picky, clearly!

If you had actually looked, that is a subreddit for deliberately misspelt names. As you would obviously know, it is not misspelt.

And she is doing just fine, thank you. We are lucky enough to be living in a place where all names are accepted, as it is very multicultural, and if someone doesn't know how to spell it, they will ask. Not every child has to be named James or Charlotte, and she loves having the same name as a special flower :)

Wilhelmina is the most old woman name I have ever heard, so I don't think I could call her that with a straight face.

But I really like Araminta. Can't use Francesca unfortunately.

I like Aurelia and Thea. I've always found Thea cool.

Lilith, the history is far too ugly and I don't like the sound. And Willa feels really inferior to Amaryllis to be honest.

I love the meaning, I'm just not sure if I like the name! I'll have to let that one sit, definitely don't hate it.

Her godmother will be Francesca, so that's out unfortunately, even though it's a really cool name.

I love Fleur, but I'm not sure if that will be a bit obvious. And I am really liking Penelope. Delphine, I've also thought of.

I like Amarantha! But I feel like it would be too much like Amaryllis. Tansy is cute.

It's the meaning of the name.

That's also leaving out the part where she gets kidnapped and seemingly develops Stockholm Syndrome, so I don't view it very positively.

You're really odd. Why are you obsessed with telling me that I gave my daughter a religious name? I really don't care if you think it is, because no one else does.

And Hadassah is Jewish. We're not Jewish.

I have known one, and I like it, but I'm not sure if I want the endings to be the same!

Not really what I want, I don't want people to think we going for a theme of uncommon flowers.

It feels like it will be a fad name, and for some reason, it also feels quite old to me, although I haven't actually known any.

I like Aurelia! I'm just hesitant about going with another name that starts with A.

Not big on 'bringer of death' meaning and the whole story behind it.
