Having trouble with a girl's name

5 replies

ArvesGuest ·
I've got a good selection of boy names, but I'm struggling to find a girl name I'm happy with (for more than a day).
Names I like so far are Ize, Sien, Eef, Heike, Idis (pronounced like Isis), Yora, Mette, and Noé. Then there's also Mees (but mostly used for boys) and Eos (goddess of dawn, but I think it's a bit too unique).
Of these names; which do you like, which are terrible, and why?
+ suggestions? I don't like long names or names ending in an a.

    Oh, I really think Idis is so beautiful; I didn’t know that one at all.
    Ize, Mette, and Noé are also really nice names. Eef is fine too.
    Sien and Heike are a bit old-fashioned. Yora and Eos aren’t as beautiful.
    Mees is indeed more of a boy’s name.

    Maybe also:
    Amé, Arwen, Aster, Cato, Chloë, Chloé, Cilou, Cleo, Dani, Edin, Efin, Elin, Febe, Fem, Hebe, Imke, Imme, Izé, Jade, Josie, Jule, Juno, Kensi, Kenzi, Loïs, Loré, Lucie, Lune, Luus, Malin, Mare, Marin, Mint, Minte, Niké, Nikki, Nore, Nové, Pien, Quinn, Roïs, Rox, Sare, Silke, Suze, Tamar, Tirze, Tove, Vieve, Yentl, Zenzi, Zoë

    Almost completely agree with Anouk. I would also put Eef in the old-fashioned category.
    Idis: Nice name

    Thanks for your replies!
    Of the suggested names, I think Loré, Roïs, and Sare are the prettiest.
    I also think Idis is a beautiful name, but it starts with the same letter as my favorite boy's name, and if I have another boy later, I'm not sure if it would seem too much like a theme. Fortunately, I still have some time to think about it.

    Hey Arves! Love those names!
    Ize, Sien, Eef, Idis, Mette, and Noé I find beautiful. Heike feels more like a boy's name to me; I think Feike or Fieke are nicer! Yora doesn't really do it for me. Mees is indeed a bit confusing since it's usually used for boys, and Eos isn't beautiful either. Here are some more options below:
    Siene Josien Mabel Rhodé Fieke Feike Jette Jet Luus Ida Iva Ina Zoé Chloé Loa Cato Fien Fiene Lise Yentl Metta Bette Mirle Kato/Cato Nette Nele Silke Silje Yfke Wende Femma Fenne Wieke Mae Maël Hansje Juul Evi Suus Jip Jonna Jonne Lonne

    I only think Noe is beautiful... is Noemi also an option for you?
