Looking at the ApMtn calendar for next week, the Names of the Day cupboard is bare after Sunday.
So help us out … post a name, and we’ll use it next week.
Thanks in advance for all of your creative and thoughtful ideas!

Odette
Aurelia
Brier (as in brier rose from “sleeping beauty”)
Grier
Elsa
Trudy
Norah
I’ve used (or planned to use) so many of your boys’ names already, thanks!
As for the girls, there are some lovely thoughts here … funny how many actually intersect with my life, LOL! But let’s fill in some blanks.
May 31 will be Piper (I know a pint-sized Piper); June 2 will be Odessa (I knew an Odessa in high school!); June 4 is Harper (funny how it sounds like it should be a boy’s name, but it’s so obviously feminine) and look for Maeve on June 6. (Again, I know a very small Maeve – it’s a great name.)
I’m actually planning on using much of the list in other posts, too! Cordelia might just be my favorite name of the moment. And I’m working on a Virtue Name list, too – but it feels indulgent to use Verity as a NotD.
BTW, should my baby-to-be be a girl, I’m seriously toying with the idea of using Wren as a second middle name because a) I love it; b) my sister’s nickname is Birdie and it seems fitting to honor her and finally, c) this baby’s godfather is the son of an ornithologist. Really. So Wren is much on my mind … and will appear in another post, soon.
Brilliant ideas – thank you so much!
You have my boy list 😉 here’s some more I would love to see you talk about:
Louisa
Genevieve
Regina
Odessa
Petra
Gemma
Virtue names -I’ve loved Verity for a long time. It was cool to see someone who actually had the name. It’s so much nicer than boring Hope, Faith, Chastity, etc.
Cordelia
Harper
Piper
Kerenza
Amelia
Brynn
Wren
Maeve
Your welcome, it must be tough constantly thinking up new and different names!!
Yes Yvaine is from stardust and Quil is from the book “Twilight” i just looked it up however and i can’t find any info on it?
Anyway thanks for using them, i love them 🙂
What a lovely list, Natalie! And you do have a few of my all-time favorites on your list.
Let’s see … I’ll delve into the Esme on May 23; Yvaine (from Stardust, right?) on May 25 and Lucia on May 27. Jude will be May 26; and I think I’ll twist Raef and cover Raphael as well on May 28. I’m fascinated by Quil – it’s Gaelic, right? He’s May 30.
Thank you so much! It’s fun to write them, but coming up with a fresh idea can be a job of work. 🙂
Sorry that was supposed to be “persephone” not “persophone” 🙂
Here are some ideas:
Girls:
Yvaine –
Nerina
Lucia
Pandora
Pesophone
Cordelia
Cecilia
Rosalie
Esme
Lisette
Lilia
Camille
Boys:
Penn
Lysander
Quil
Ash
Jude
Embry
Raef
All these names are different but classy, some of my personal favourites.
Hope you like them and have not used them before.
I was also going to suggest Tallulah, believe it or not, and then I saw you’d just written about her… And who should I meet not a day after I posted the last bird names? An 11-month-old little Lark. Funny when life mirrors your thoughts.
Looking forward to seeing how you break down the names!
Oooh, I adore Clementine! She’s Monday, 5/19.
Ambrose … I knew a lovely man called Ambrose years ago. And isn’t there a Saint Ambrose? Don’t know a thing about the name, but he’ll be 5/20.
I’m so divided on Poppy! I instantly think of Jamie Oliver’s daughter, Poppy Honey, and – believe it or not – a crooked landlord I had in college. Still, it is rather fashionable these days and deserves some consideration. Poppy is Wednesday!
Thank you so much for the ideas. I still owe you some thoughts on Birds. 🙂
If you haven’t already done so, may I suggest:
Clementine– I think it’s about time someone put a lot of thought into analyzing this name. I’ve been hearing it crop up on a lot of name lists and make it’s way to fashionable little ones!
Poppy– Nickname or given name? Charming or silly?
Ambrose– For my own personal satisfaction. 🙂
