HelpRe: NobodyOfConsequence & Adenydd
in reply to a message by Ninor
How fun! I think Ninor needs to be evil a little more often...
So, we have another girl with the initials EO, OE, SV, or VS. I'll post the names starting with those letters from our mutual list. (Removing, of course, those we have previously used.)
E - Elaine, Eliza
S - Saskia, Shiloh, Sofia, Sora
Since we have no names starting with O or V between us, we will have to come up with some others whichever way we go. But first, I'll address the names that we already have:
Elaine - I think this could work best as a middle name, though since I love it I'm open to using it as a first name as well.
Eliza - I like Eliza but it's similar to Elisabeth, which we've used as a middle name. Do we want to use something so similar again?
Saskia - Love it.
Shiloh - I've been liking this less, and it's already in GP territory for me. I probably like this the least out of all the names on our list.
Sofia - Love it.
Sora - I like it but it has a different feeling than our other names. The rest of our family has names that feel natural and earthy to me, and I don't get that at all from Sora.
Out of these names, I like Elaine, Saskia, and Sofia the most, and would use any of them in a heartbeat. However, I might not want to use an "S" name as the first name since we already have Sarah Aisling and I don't really like using initial sounds. Especially since (with the exception of Shiloh), the final syllables of our S names all end with the same sound.
Now, some O and V names I really like that might work when paired with E and S.
Orla - this is really the only "O" girls' name I like.
Vanamo - lovely Finnish flower name in my top ten. Emphasis is one first syllable. It's a bit offbeat so I understand if you don't like it!
Varda - a name I've just started to like. I think it's neat.
Veda - also in my top ten. "Knowledge" is a pretty nice meaning. Pronounced VAY-duh.
Vellamo - another Finn name. Vella can be a nicename.
Though you haven't given me feedback yet, here are three combinations I like so far:
Orla Elaine
Vanamo Saskia
Veda Saskia
I think I like the two Saskia combos the best (especially Veda Saskia), so I'd love to hear feedback on both of those, as well as your own suggestions, of course. (:

That really is evil, I like barely any O or V names at all. I don't mind Opal and Violet though, what do you think of those? As for your names,
Orla - I don't like it, I'm sorry.
Vanamo - Interesting, I wouldn't rule it out.
Varda - It's not horrible but it sounds so much like a nn that I don't know if I can like it.
Veda - This one I like but it'd have to be a mn, I wouldn't want a daughter getting called Darth Vada her whole life.
Vellamo - Not bad.
So that leaves us with Vanamo, Veda and Vellamo (none of which I'd use as a fn, sorry I'm just not a fan of "V" names). As well as Elaine, Eliza, Saskia, Shiloh, Sofia and Sora.
I agree that Elaine would work best as a mn so it's basically out this round since we have no "O" names to go with it. I wouldn't have a problem with using Eliza, especially as we don't have a lot of choice this round. However, we still have no "O" names to go with it. Seeing as we have two kids in between Sarah and this little girl and we agree the best on the "S" names, I think we have to consider using an "S" name. Pretty much ruling Shiloh out since you like it the least, I like our other 3 names, though I always use Sofia in the mn slot cos I would hate someone to call her Sofie. So some more combos:
Saskia Vellamo
Saskia Vanamo
Sora Vellamo
Sora Vanamo
---
Shiloh Veda
and if you like my suggestions:
Violet Sofia
Violet Sora
Eliza Opal
Sorry partner, this is just a really hard round.

Yep, this might be a little difficult ... especially since I would prefer using a V first name. But you bring up a good point that we agree most on S names.
Darth Veda - heh. Never thought of that one before...
I don't like Violet or Opal too much, sorry! I also think we should stay away from Sora because it sounds so similar to Sarah. I think I like Saskia Vellamo and Saskia Vanamo the best, but it's hard for me to choose between those two. I prefer Vanamo as a name but I think Saskia Vellamo looks and sounds better, so that one has a slight edge. Which of those two do you prefer?

Hmm, I can't think of any other V names I really like. The ones I listed are pretty much it at the moment. And now I also feel like I prefer Saskia Vanamo a little more. I also like Saskia Veda quite a bit; while I'm normally opposed to names with the same ending being used in a combo, I'm fine with this one. The syllable difference helps and I do like the sound.
So Saskia Veda and Saskia Vanamo are my top two picks now. Saskia Veda is alightly in the lead now because it matches the other siblings best, in my opinion. But I like both and either is fine with me.

Sorry that I've been a pain this round, I hope you're still happy with what we've come up with. I'll let you pick between Saskia Veda and Saskia Vanamo, since you seem to like the Veda combo best, our family will probably be

Since we are supposed to compromise, I'll go with Saskia Vanamo. I like both but you seemed to like Vanamo a bit better because of the sound difference. Also, I doubt I'll have the chance to use Vanamo on a partner congrats again. :P
