ultra feminine girls names
I have been drawn to girly names lately:
Isabella (an alternative to Elizabeth, my late grandmother's name)
Annabelle
Anastasia
Anna
Some combos: (My sister might use Mia before I could!)
Mia Anastasia
Mia Isabella
Anastasia Grace
Anna Katherine (both names honor close friends.)
Anastasia Katherine
Annabelle Katherine
Isabelle Katherine
WDYT?

I’m typically not a fan of hyperfeminine names. With that said
Mia seems insubstantial to me. It’s too short and nicknamey. Hard to get an adult, professional vibe from it even though I do know several adults who go by Mia (all NNs)
Isabella isn’t bad, but it is really common. It’s kind of meh for me.
Anastasia — I actually kind of really like this. The meaning is strong and there are a lot of nickname options (Ana, Stacie, Stasia, Stas).
Annabelle — completely not a fan. This is just sort of the epitome of a super-frilly baby doll name that kind of seems a bit flimsy to me. It makes me picture a Southern belle who doesn’t do dishes because she might *gasp!* “break a nail!”
Isabelle — a bit simpler than Isabella. Still kind of meh.
