When I say ‘we’ I do mean me. Jason liked some but hated others.
As you can see, we lean towards less common names and names affiliated with the natural world.
***
Amethyst – obviously the beautiful purple gemstone, which is plentiful in Northwestern Ontario. Amy would be a good nickname. Then I found out it was Iggy Azalia’s real name and I lost interest. It’s still a great name though.
Amaryllis – the flower. Again, Amy would be a good nickname. Or Rilla.
Cascade – a great water-themed name that would go well with our boys’ names. Cassie or Cadie would be cute nicknames.
Cordelia – a water-themed name meaning lady of the lake. I’ve loved this name since Anne Shirley asked Marilla Cuthbert, “Could you call me Cordelia?” Cory, Cordy, and Delia would be good nicknames.
Dawn – self explanatory. Would have been used as a middle name to honour Grandpa Donny.
Delphinium – the flower. I love this because it’s so different. Del or Finn would be cute nicknames. Jason was horrified.
Echo – different and striking.
Evening – quite different. Eve or Evie would be good nicknames.
Ever – first heard this when celebrity Milla Jovovich named her daughter Ever. I thought it was awesome, plus it’s not like Milla would know if I used the name. Jason wasn’t on board.
Gaia – the mother of all nature names as Gaia was literally Mother Earth according to Greek mythology. A beautiful name.
Hazel – a great colour name.
Io – one of Jupiter’s moons. I’ve been stuck on this name since I found out about child-actor turned artist and activist Io Tillet Wright. It’s such an odd name and I just love it.
Ivy – beautiful. I’ve always loved ivy covered buildings.
Juniper – my favourite name of all time. June, Junie, or Juno would be great nicknames. I was never able to get Jason on board with this name…even though I asked him about 45 times.
Luna – meaning the moon. Also, Luna Lovegood from the Harry Potter series is one of my favourite literary characters. What scared me off of this name was the kids in the books who call her Loony.
Magnolia – beautiful flower, great nicknames.
