It'd make a better middle name imo. It's quite nice though, and very unusual :-)I do love Larkin for a girl, and I imagine Lark might become a nn for that._____________________________________________________________________"My universe is laced around your wrist; I am the bracelet you sport."Elinor

Lark is ok, mostly it makes me think of Lark Voorhies, who was on "Saved by the Bell".Leslie, lucky mommy to Scott (2000), Delaney (2002), and Larissa (2005)

Lark is a pretty name. For a combo, I like Lark Alexandra. As for bird names, I like Wren. I've heard of Sparrow and Finch used, but I don't really care for those. Robin is ok but it seems too dated to me. For a boy, Drake is ok. I kind of like it.

I also like the name Beatrice

Lark is really not a name to me. Robin or Reine (pronounce wren) are really nmsaa, but much better.

I don't care for it. While it is a feminine name, I don't think there is anything feminine about it. I find it a very unflattering. Furthermore, I don't think of it as a name, but as a word, as in a bird and a prank/joke.

I prefer Laerke, but that's just me. I think Beatrix Laerke / Lark would be pretty, but I dislike Beatrice. ~ Hannah

Thanks, I do like Laerke but I always want to prounce it lair-ke :SI think I would need to 'test it out on family members before using it though, I can imagine it being confusingAlice My favourite names are Henry Andersen, Isaac Atticus, Miller Gabriel, Freya Jasmine, Lily Philomel, Lyra Iris and Lark Beatrice

Thanks, I thought somebody would make that connection; I'm surprised it's just one person though maybe it's a regional thing?Alice My favourite names are Henry Andersen, Isaac Atticus, Miller Gabriel, Freya Jasmine, Lily Philomel, Lyra Iris and Lark Beatrice

I have a friend who named her baby boy Larkin. I'm not a huge fan of non-classics, but Larkin has a neat ring to it.

I'm ususually a traditional person myself :)Thanks, I have thought about Larken for a girl but I think people might find it too masculineAlice My favourite names are Henry Andersen, Isaac Atticus, Miller Gabriel, Freya Jasmine, Lily Philomel, Lyra Iris and Lark Beatrice

I think if you use Larkin it'll sound feminine

I kind of like Lark. I don't think I would ever use it, but I think it could be really cool for someone else, if you know what I mean.
The only other bird names I can think of are Robin and Martin. Maybe Finch.
I think because of the strong "K" sound at the end Lark sounds best with softer mn, such as:
Lark Anna
Lark Amelia
Lark Amanda
Lark Sophia
Lark Samantha
Lark Olivia
Lark Eva
Lark Fiona
Lark Adelaide
Lark ImogenI also like Lark Beatrice.

I know what you mean by liking the name on 'someone else' ;)I did consider Finch because of Atticus Finch, but then I thought it's the guy in American Pie, no?Thanks for your suggsetions, I really like Lark Anna, Lark Sophia and Lark Fiona :)Alice My favourite names are Henry Andersen, Isaac Atticus, Miller Gabriel, Freya Jasmine, Lily Philomel, Lyra Iris and Lark Beatrice

I dislike Lark (it sounds boyish and unpretty to me, and I don't manage to see it as a real name).
Bird names I like:
Aveline (ahv-leen / ah-vuh-leen)
Eileen
Faiga (fie-gah / fay-gah)
Feige (fie-guh / fay-guh)
Faigel (fie-gul / fay-gul)
Tziporah (tsee-poh-rah)
Linnet (but "silly" connotations in French)
Robin (on boy)
