Re: Talk me out of or into these “maybe” names
Elizabeth: Could work on any type of girl. Sounds smart, mature, and put-together.
Grace: Similar vibes to Elizabeth but sounds younger and isn't as flexible. Is even more cliche as a MN than Elizabeth, is much better as a FN.
Holly: Christmas. Green. Friendly. Harmless. The name of a grandmother who likes to bake cookies, or the name of the granddaughter who likes to help with the cookies. Very sweet name - almost too sweet.
Joy: Bright yellow. Exuberant. Child-like wonder. This name wouldn't work on certain people.
Julia: very flexible name, could use Jules and Julie as NNs but there's not really a need. It sounds like grace without being Grace. I can see a ballerina or a princess.
Lark: A bird. Not bad, but there are admittedly some better bird names. Robin, Wren or Raven.
Pearl: The large whale from Spongebob, a grandmother, or a precious gemstone - the imagery that I get for this one is all over the place. I would prefer it as a MN because it's harder to match Pearl with other names than the other way around.
Nathaniel: Very serious and godly. Nate seems like an oversimplified NN. Nathan is too long of one. This name is all-man - I think it would seem odd on someone who doesn't go to church or doesn't exude "manly" vibes.https://www.gofundme.com/f/restore-independence-for-a-struggling-family?lang=en_US&utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_medium
