rkoldA few caveats, while I am looking for some opinions, I don't care if you prefer other "V" names or other names which begin with a different letter. I also don't care if you prefer the "V" names and think they would make a better first name. It has been my fondest wish since my grandmother died in 1994 to have a little girl to name after her. So the "A" name is coming first. What name you all like the best is not necessarily the name I am going to pick, I'm just letting you all give a little input. I already have various family members all campaigning for their favorite lol
So the next stage with baby naming is finding out what various people think of when they hear a particular name. For example, when I say the name "Clementine" someone might think the song "Oh My Darling Clementine" while someone else might think those yummy little readily peelable oranges one eats in Winter. Anyone who would like participate, please make a comment with what is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the following names.
The following first names are our current top choices:
Adina
Alice
Anne
Anya
Aviva
The following list of names are our top choices for middle names:
Vera
Verity
I might be willing to consider suggestions for other girl's names that start with A but again, I want a name that is not popular of which all of the following are: Abigail, Alexandra, Alexis, Alison, Amelia, Audrey, Aubrey, Audra, Ava. I also do not like gender neutral names, WASPY surnames as first names (think Addison) and I don't want a name that sounds made up. Also I am paying attention to ethnicity of names, Akiko is a perfectly nice name, but sounds really sort of silly when no one in her family is Japanese.
