I love Nightingale and at the moment, if I had a daughter right now, she would be called Sofia Nightingale.

I like the idea of it, but only for a mn, really. And it's more for my appreciation of Florence Nightingale (since I'm a nurse) than for my appreciation of the bird. :b Lillian turned me onto the idea of this name, and I do like it though it's not something I'd necessarily use.

I love it esecially as a mn. Its sounds beautiful in my opinion :)

Nightingale would be a lovely name for a girl. I don't see any reason not to use it as a fn. (I pray no one starts to tinker with the spelling.)

P.S. "My friends and I were saying . . . ." :-)

it's a nice middle name.

I like it as a MN

It's pretty, but don't think I would ever get up the courage to use it. :)

It's been coming up a lot here lately. I don't really care one way or the other about it, myself. Word names are all right by me, but as far as birds go, nightingales have never had any significance to me. I don't even know what they look like. So I'd never choose it over a bird that might have significance to me--Dove, Wren, Crow, Chickadee, Hawk, etc.

Whenever I hear this name I think back to when I was 5 years old and went to a Young Girl Guide group called the rainbows. All the leaders were named after birds. One was Nightingale, so it seems a bit weird when people use it as an actual name.
