Thank you!!! I have been waiting for this list ever since you posted the boys one:)
Thank you!
I noticed you were missing Anastasia though.
Thank you! I’ve fixed it – if any one else spots an omission, please comment!
you’re missing Zoe!!
Hooray! Thanks for putting the work in for this.
Saoirse is not linked to it’s article.
Thank you so much! How fun, exciting, & inspirational!
Well done Abby! Thanks for working so hard on this. What an impressive body of work!
Saskia isn’t there! But I love this.
Fixing it now! Thank you.
Thanks Abby, what a job it must have been!
On a side note: Why is Peregrine on the girls list? When it loads it clearly says “He” & “him”. Might be better to only be on the boys list!
Thanks for the catch! I’m deleting Peregrine from the girls’ list.
Azucena isn’t linked to it’s article.
Found a few more without links…
Miette and Nolia
Gemma has been NotD but she’s not on the list.
Oh, I would love to hear about Miette. So sweet.
what about the name Lindsey? I like the sound of it!
Though not so much about the relation with the Lohan actress
What about Charlotte? With Kate and Wills’ recent nuptials, it only seems appropriate to revisit a name that has sat on the throne of England, as Kate, or HRH the Duchess Catherine will one day do.
Could you please do a post on Margaret? It’s mentioned a lot of times but never fully fleshed as far as I can tell. Also Margo! Thanks for considering it.
Kaite and Lorenette are really cool names too!!!1
Could you do a post on Margo/Margot?
Or Leila (though I obviously am biased there)
Or Margeaux. I have a friend (~30 yrs old) with that spelling.
Great List – I’d love to see what you come up with for “Charlotte” and “Sutton” (as a male name). My husband and I are expecting our first child and do not know the gender and so are still deciding both female and male names. I look forward to any comments you may have.
I think Tess should be added
There is nothing for “Q” what about Quinn? Quin?
Cosign! I love Quinn too!
Awesome list! You don’t have the name Melody or Saoirse though. Both pretty cool names.
Why son’t you have Cerys or Natalie (they are my friend’s names) and maybe Erica and Otricia and Aisling (they are all my friends) maybe my name even (Oliviette but people call me Livy, Livs or Olly!
I also just thought of one how about Chloe and Mayce!
Where did Laura go?
You’re missing Brynn.
Still waiting for Remedios to make an appearance.
Hey, I have been trying to create categories for my blog. I can’t seem to figure it out or it won’t let me. How did you do this?
Also, you forgot to add Vasare to the Girls list
Jordana is not on this list.
I would LOVE to see the gentle, feminine, classy Emily on here (popularity issues aside). Some history on this name would be much appreciated, and her literary connections would make for an interesting read. We all no doubt know a few Emilys, and it’s about time some light was shed on this appealing – if ubiquitous – name.
what about olive?
Vivian isn’t on the list!
I would like to see Ginevra and Primrose. I love Primrose as a Rose alternative! And I love all the vowels in Ginevra!
I have a Q for you, an aztec name… Quetzalli
& another U to add to your lone Ursula…. Ulyssa
I’d also be happy to see Fidelity added to the list.. this is my daughter Amara’s middle name. Its familiar as an english word but also linked to Fidel, Fidelia, Fidelis.
I think you should make Shyann (Or spelled: Cheyenne) a “Name Of The Day”
Tamsin is missing from your list–I see that you have a post about it, but I can’t read the whole thing, it cuts out after a few sentences.
Joanna is missing from the list
None of the links is the “V” section are working
Ok, I started picking names at random and not one of them worked…….
Zola!
When I click on the name Lucia the information for the name Lucienne pulls up instead. I love the name Lucia and would love to read more about it. I love your site!
I’m not sure if you still want notice of posts that are not showing up in full, but just in case, the Lavinia post is only displaying the beginning.
