For a girl : Rate these names.?

Question

Please list in order of your favorite and feel free to comment. Don't bother being mean, it will only hurt our feelings. Our last name is Mabile ... pronounced like (mob eel)

Rachel
Arwen
Lily
Nora
Lucy
London
Ginna (Ginny)

Thanks in advance :)

I should've said, be mean if you want to because we already like them. We just wanted to put them on here for fun! Lol, so tear into them!

Yes, Arwen is from LOTR. Ginny is from Harry Potter. Might sound odd to some be we see these characters as really cool namesakes for a girl. Arwen is definitely as unique as I go with names! Both my husband and I always wanted to be named after someone or something really special.

Answer 1

1. Lily Mabile and Ginna (Ginny) Mabile - tie
2. Lucy Mabile
3. Nora Mabile
4. London Mabile
5. Rachel Mabile
6. Arwen Mabile

Congratulations to you! Here are my comments: I think of London as a boy's name, which is not necessarily bad. I have a friend with a traditionally male name and she jokes about it (getting put in boys' PE, etc.). I have never heard of Arwen before; I'm not sure about that one.

I noticed that most of the names have two syllables and your last name also has two syllables. I've heard that you should have some variation, so this might influence your decision on middle names. Good luck!

Answer 2

From most to least favorite. ;)

Nora - absolutely love it

Lucy - adorably spunky

Lily/Arwen - I like these about equally. Lily is a sweet classic, and Arwen an unexpected beauty. I really don't want to choose, so I'm leaving them tied (LOL), but if I had to I'd put Arwen first based on uncommonness alone.

Rachel - lovely name. Just not quite as appealing as the above, but not a thing wrong with it.

Ginna (Ginney) - completely a nickname in my mind, though admittedly, I'm a formal name/nickname type person (for example, I also prefer Eleanor, Elinora, Annorah, Vannora, etc., with Nora as a nickname, for myself ... though I love just Nora for anyone else LOL). Still this one seems especially informal for some reason. I'd likely use something along the lines of Genevieve or Ginevra, with Ginna/Ginny as a nickname. I do like the similar Gemma as a stand-alone, however (or as a shortening of Jemima). ;)

London - sorry. I'm just not into the random place name trend ... unless you DO have special ties to London, in which case I'll take that back. LOL

Great list, by the way!

Answer 4

1. Ginny, lovvvve harry potter.
2. Arwen, for some reason I really like it
3. Nora, cute
4. Lily, overused but cute
5. London, unique
6. Lucy, overused
7. Rachel, overused

Answer 5

Rachel - because I'm biased on that one. But I LOVE my name! Rachel isn't as common now as it used to be, so it's not like she'd have 2 other Rachel's in her class like I did. Haha.
Lucy - on the list of names to use for a future daughter
London - it's just cute to say, very unique
Lily - very pretty name
Arwen, Nora, and Ginna/Ginny - Not my favorite, but I definitely don't hate them.

Answer 6

Rachel---Old standard name, strong sounding--Biblical routes
Arwen----Silly
Lily---Too Cutesy
Nora---Recent comeback, know a few people who named their daughter's this.
Lucy---I think of Charlie Brown (nope)
London----Do you have a connection to London? I knew one person with this name who was a male.
Ginna (Ginny)--Not real original.

Remember your daughter has to live with the name the rest of her life. Out of all of these, Rachel is the best one.

Answer 7

I would go with something simple, since you have a last name that is hard to pronounce. Trust me - she'll love not having to correct both of her names...

I would also go with a longer middle name for the ones with 4 letters.

Rachel Sophia Mabile
Lily Elizabeth Mabile
Lucy Madeleine Mabile
Nora Adrienne Mabile

Answer 8

- Lucy: this is a simple but beautiful name, and very adorable for a little girl

- Lily: same as above; simple and beautiful, as well as classic, but gaining in popularity recently

- Arwen: great sound to the name, as well as a great throw-back to JRR Tolkein (don't worry about the elf association - this one is on my list too!)

- Nora: a pretty name that will transition nicely into adulthood, but she may feel a bit out of place in her young-teen years with this "older" name

- London: trendy and chic

- Rachel: the popularity this name gained during the 'Friends' era seems to finally be settling down; I like the name, but unfortunately every Rachel I've ever known has been a bit on the stuck-up side

- Ginna: cute, but a bit too Harry Potter-esque for this era

Answer 9

I'm rating these based on how well they go with your last name..not on my personal taste.

Nora: Sounds very southern with your last name. That makes it cute...I would add an H though...Norah Mabile.

Lily: Cute, very popular though.

Lucy: Makes me think of a curly haired princess for some reason...:)

London: Makes it sounds European (duh!)...cute anyways.

Ginna: Not too keen on the spelling, but cute name in general...I like Jenna(y).

Rachel: I don't like how they both end in the 'el' sound. Nice name, though.

Arwen: Not a fan of the name, but I guess it could work. It's one of those names that a certain person has to have a certain personality to have that name.

Answer 10

Rachel - classic and cute
Arwen - i like it, but it may be a cause for teasing because of lotr
Lily- love it
Nora - one of my all-time favorites
Lucy - love it
London - reminds me too much of Paris Hilton
Ginna (Ginny) - cute

Im sensing that you are drawn to English-y names. what about
Abbey or Rose ...good luck and congratulations!
