HelpRe: Still suffering from name regret-thoughts/advice appreciated (LONG)
in reply to a message by anxiolytics
Do you like Violet enough to make it her first name? Rosalie Violet Kelley is very pretty even though I don't care that much for Rosalie to be honest. Rosie is really cute, though.
I think you should definitely change it if you regret choosing Rosalie and your husband agrees. She's very young and it won't affect her negatively. Better change it now than regret it for the rest of your life.
The ones I like better than Rosalie are marked with a **.
Electra - just way over the top and harsh sounding
Isis - I think it's icy, cold and unattractive
Cleopatra - sorry but this is way over the top. Cleo would be nice.
Sapphira** - cute but also a bit much
Pandora** - love but it has negative associations
Georgia** - love
Gloria, Glory - dislike them both and Glory is silly, sorry
Giselle - Bundchen
India** - would never use it, it must be weird to be named after a country
Calypso** - but very over the top
Indigo - sounds masculine
Indira - really dislike this
Serafina** - but much prefer Seraphina
Thalia** - if you are worried about pronunciation issues with Rosalie DO NOT use this name. Just a warning.
Persephone - worst meaning but I like the sound
Katrina - 80s, hurricane
I have the feeling that many of the names on your list are very eccentric and over the top. I mean I like them but make sure they work in real life. Call her by all the names you consider. Scream Calypso in a supermarket. Make sure it's the right name this time ;)
How about:
Callista
Seraphine
Emmeline
Carina
