Re: What are your opinions on these female F names?
in reply to a message by Astrid
I have a great love of F names. :)
Faye, I'm not too fond of, because I grew up hearing names like Tammy Faye, Bobbi Faye, for women of my grandparents generation.
Frida also still seems old to me, but hey it has that nice art connotation.
Frigga, I associate highly with the goddess.
Freja, too, but man do I just love this name.
Flora & Fleur- both pay a nod towards my love of flowers and flower names in general. I think Flora is easier for English speakers than Fleur. Sometimes the both end up sounding a bit like 'floor'. :(
Fiona: Is probably the name on this list I would most likely name a daughter. I could see my husband agreeing to it, and I like it enough that it is not diminished by popularity or other connotations, which I think is the true test of, "Is this name baby material".
Frances: I adore Frances on a girl. Classic. I have yet to meet a little Frances I haven't liked.
Florence: I think it has that uncommon, but old fashioned flair to it... and just enough familiarity to make it a more popular name in the future.
Farah: I am growing to love. Mostly due to the character on Homeland.
