What do you think of these girls names?

I'm not expecting but me and my boyfriend are just thinking about names for the future! What do you think of these:



Lily May

Aster Joyce

Neve/Niamh

Lula

Abbey

Sadie

Eden

Marisa

Demi

Cassandra
What do you think of these girls names?
Lily May - Lily is lovely, but I'd avoid pairing it with a month. Tends to be a bit phrasey, if you follow (though not as bad as May Lily would be). ;) If you love it with May, however, perhaps use something less literal, such as Lilian, Liliana, Lilith or Lilias May, with Lily as a short form. Just a thought. ;)



Aster Joyce - I absolutely love Aster (always a favorite!), but find the combo overall a bit "hissy." Perhaps simply Aster Joy or, if it's simply the meaning you like, Aster Gwyneth.



Neve/Niamh - Gorgeous. Definitely one of my favorite names out there, and I'd stick with traditional Niamh. Besides finding it more visually appealing, Neve just doesn't seem to solve any possible pronunciation problems anyway (especially given Neve Campbell's popularity, since she does not say her name NEEV). And since it is so short, after all, one simple correction will generally be enough for most people. It's not all that difficult to remember. ;)



Lula - love it as a nickname for Talulla, Lucille or some other "Lu" name, but find it a bit juvenile on its own. Nearly-identical Lola has a slightly more mature feel, if it's simply the sound that appeals. I do love Lula as well, however. I'd just likely give her a more formal given name. ;)



Abbey - I actually don't care for Abby (any spelling), though I realize it's quite a popular nickname at the moment. Always reminds me of the stomach muscles, I'm afraid. LOL



Sadie - quite like Sadie. I do find it a bit informal, so I'd probably personally use it as a nickname for Sara(h), Sarita, Sarina, Serafina, Talulla (which has a similar "princess" meaning, as it happens), etc., but I actually don't mind this as a given name either. Like Lola, which itself originated as a pet form, I find Sadie distinct enough from original Sarah to stand on its own merit. Hopefully you follow. ;)



Eden - not my style. Too predictable for my taste, and it tends to come across as a somewhat insubstantial choice. More along the lines of the literal word Heaven than a strong Biblical name like Naomi, if that makes sense.



Marisa - a fine name, but I find it a bit dated. Perhaps I knew too many in the 80s. ;)



Demi - it COULD be a lovely choice, but bear in mind that this one is very associated with the actress. Perhaps consider using it as a nickname, so she has a less "Hollywood" option should she ever want one. Demetria, Desdemona, Demelza, Decima or even similar Dema, for example.



Cassandra - a solid, historic choice that would manage to both stand out (in full form) or blend in (with all the little "Cassies" out there at the moment). If that's what you're aiming for, certainly a great option.



Lovely list, by the way. Nice to see a few less common options considered. ;)

Reply:My favorite on the list is Eden.
Reply:I like Cassandra.



Lily is nice. Lily May feels a bit hick. Speaking of, Holly Golightly's character in Breakfast at Tiffany's was born Lula Mae - and something of a hick. I'm not sure about Lula ... it's awfully close to Lola. It would be a cute nickname for Tallulah.



Neve/Niamh is great, too.
