I see what you mean! But honestly, I never have liked the name Sloane. I don't know why, but it just sounds old and just plain wrong...not that it is a bad name though...
Wow😳!!! That sure was the name of the girl in the Ring!!! Yeah that movie was super scary!!! I’m 31 years old and I’m still scared to see that movie again!!!
I love this list so much! I'm American, and have loved Freya for years. It was my secret guilty pleasure name, but it's finally getting quite popular over here. This list has given me some lovely alternatives! Way to go SJ
I've been tracking my ancestry and I've come across so many interesting names: Girls: Arethusa, Euphemia, Experience, Mehitable, Relief, Thankful Boys: Waitstill, Hopestill Those are just some of them. I think it would be cool if you track your ancestry or just look over birth records from 100+ years ago and make a list of unique names you like.
For the mum looking at a Jo- name for a girl, I ADORE Jolene! Flows so well, feminine, but still a strong name, timeless and classic but not old and not overused, and of course amazing song by the even more amazing Dolly Parton,
my favorite warrior princess is Azula!! it means blue, & comes from the show avatar: the last airbender. her character is so headstrong, clever, powerful, & a bit psychotic, but the name has such presence & rolls off the tongue! i named my feisty kitten this and it fits her perfectly
My husband and I don't have a baby yet, but whenever we talk about having a daughter in the future, we always refer to her as Azula lol!! Now I need to spend my afternoon watching Avatar. ⬇️
for the dilemma - what about Juniper with Juno for short, and Jo as an even shorter version of that!? Doesn't start with the letters j and o - but includes both in the nickname and might be cute :) Jove is also a cute name / another nickname for Juniper that could be shortened again to Jo. Or you could just go with the initials? J for the first name and an O name in the middle Suggestions: Juliette Olympia, Jemima Odessa, Jasmine Ottalie, Jennifer October, Jaime Oaka, Julia Ocean
I love the name Juniper. My bf doesn’t quite love it so I will probably never get to use it but I think the nickname Junie is also so cute for that name 💕
My daughters name is Samara 💜 We loved the hebrew meaning "protected by God" when she was rushed to a different hospitals NICU shortly after birth. We had liked "Amara" before with its tie to love and her dad likes to say "its like mommys name (Samantha) with a little bit of love in it" Plus his name starts with "Ra" so its the beginning of mine and his put together which I think is a bonus too
Jocelyn has grown on me recently. My only problem is that my aunt's name (dad's sister) is Joyce Lyn so I think it's too close. I don't want it to seem like I'm honoring her instead of him. But I will keep it in mind.
@@katyc3638 if you have a good relationship with your aunt why not honor both of them? I don't mean to intrude on such a personal choice, just food for thought. 🤗
SJ I love your channel and the podcast! For the dilemma; I knew the most beautiful little girl in France named, Jophielle. I loved it! She was called phi (fee) or Jophie for short but I think there are a ton of nickname options there. It has those Josephine vibes but is just a little extra special. I love the history too, it’s the feminine form of Jophiel who was the archangel of Paradise and the patron of artists and illumination. Also associated with the protection of the planet. :) I really love it! 💕
Lots of people in the comments are suggesting Jocelyn for the dilemma. I'm a 29 year old Jocelyn and all I can say is I've been called everything under the sun, but not Jo. Jocelyn is a massively nicknameable name and I go by Joc (pronounced Jos) and Jocy (pronounced Jossy). People get my name wrong quite often and I've been mistaken as Joyce, Joycelyn and Geraldine, to name a few. But I have never been called Jo and no one has ever even accidentally called me Jo. I have another friend also called Jocelyn and she is also a Jos, but never been called Jo. So obviously I'm biased, but I'm going to have to disagree with everyone suggesting that Jocelyn can easily be shortened to Jo - it's not even the same sound 😂
Thank you so much for this comment! The #1 girl name on my list has been Josephine for years! I love that it has so many potential nicknames like Josie, Jovi, Joss, and my personal favorite, Posy. I would be thrilled if people called her any of these! Or if she ended up not liking nicknames at all, and just wanted to be “Josephine” that would be great too! But something in the back of my mind always says, “But what if people call her just Jo?” which I don’t like at all. So your comment has really helped me, especially since you know another Jocelyn, who hasn’t had that happen to her either! 💖
First of all I absolutely love these names! My criteria for girl names has always been strong and powerful. Something that I find really cool however, is that I’m from Canada so the accents are very different! And sometimes I’ll absolutely looove one of these names with SJ’s accent but then when I say it out loud it’s completely different and maybe not my favourite anymore, just really cool how accents can change the whole feel of a name!🥰
Aura was one of my secret favourites! I think it would make a lovely middle spot as an alternative to modern virtue names like Joy, Hope, Grace etc with the meaning of a good aura and spirituality For long forms or inclusion of Jo - Joanna, Jolene, Jovie, Joy, Joelle, Jozette, Journey, Bjorn
Thank you so much for putting my dilemma out there!! I can't wait to see all of the suggestions. I also have to say that I love pretty much any name when it is said in your accent! They sound so much more beautiful than they do with an American accent. This list was so gorgeous too. I think Adira is my favorite from it.
@@katyc3638 I just posted this comment, but I thought you might not be looking at the comments anymore, since this video was posted so long ago. So I thought I’d reply to you directly. Here is what I said: - Jovanna was on my list for years! I liked it better than the Giovanna spelling, because I was afraid Giovanna would be mispronounced as gee-o-van-na here in the US. The planned nickname was going to be Jovie, which is the name of Zooey Deschanel’s character in “Elf,” which is my favorite movie of all time. Jovanna isn’t on my list anymore, because I’ve fallen in love with Josephine! But I still recommend Jovanna, for anyone looking for an alternative to Josephine!
Walta is SO powerful sounding and very similar to Willa which is getting super popular. I think itd wonderful or if you wanted something similar to Walter or Atlas
My name is Annika and I get lots of compliments on it and I think it’s absolutely gorgeous, also mine is said the British/Swedish way with the A at the beginning sounding like when you say awwww and the A at the beginning of that, plus my name is really unique
My first reaction to Enyo is that it sounds and looks like “embryo” 😬 But it is similar to Enzo, which I a cool boys name...so I don’t think you’d get too much flack for it, but 🤷🏼♀️
I was just writing out Johanna when you said it haha. I really like the name actually, I think it’s really pretty. Joy or Joyce maybe? I love the name Joy.
I think my mum had high hopes for me...my first name is Rhianna meaning ‘great queen or goddess’ and my middle name is Victoria meaning ‘victory’ 😅 very appropriate for this names list🤣 I’ve also just added Adira to my list😆
Every time you post something about girl names I get so nervous that my daughters name will be on the list and I’m not ready for it cuz she’s not here yet (Three More Weeks!) but luckily her name isn’t in this list either. As far as the baby name dilemma goes: My mom suggested Jolie for us when were discussing names because my husband is Joe and my middle name is Leigh. I like it but my husband didn’t. Other suggestions would be Jovanna, Jordanna, Jonella.
I have a few suggestions for your baby name lists: Unique Wild West style baby names Unique and rare names of the Victorian era Unique and rare names of the Georgian regency period I hope you love these name topic suggestions
Love goddess names! My dog is called Deimos (actually a male god) but they were the god of dread. Child of Ares and Aphrodite. Disney’s pain and panic were based off Deimos and his brother Phobos. Mars’ moons are also Deimos and Phobos. Love the space and Disney links 😊
Dilemma: A lot of suggestions for Journey, which is a favorite of mine. I think that would work perfect to honor the name 'Joe' and the actual journey to bring the child to your family :)
I was really considering Freyja Eleanor Marie for a girl at one point-naming her after strong, inspirational women. Freyja obviously as Goddess of Fertility, Eleanor after Eleanor of Aquataine(also my husband has wrote a novel and his heroine is called Eleanor-she's a very strong character) and Marie after Marie Curie. But with Freya being so common, we've scrapped it!
My daughter's name is Aadhira, pronounced similarly to Adira (we actually considered this spelling at first 😅). The way we spelled it, it's actually a popular Indian name meaning moon.
I came across a good one for this recently thats underused in my opinion. The name Brenda is an old norse name meaning blade of a sword! So cool, tough and soft at the same time. Love it
One of my favourite names is Seraphina/Serafina). Feminine form of the Late Latin name Seraphinus, derived from the biblical word seraphim which was Hebrew in origin and meant "fiery ones". The seraphim were an order of angels, described by Isaiah in the Bible as having six wings each. means ardent/fiery
There's a princess named Fallon in an old Barbie movie...I think it was Barbie and the Twelve Dancing Princesses. I don't remember anything else about it, but I remember ten-year-old me was struck by the name!
Which was the name you nearly didn't include?! Sorry if you already said in the video - just super curious :) - thank you for another brilliant video xxx
I met an Artemis in college ( That was her middle name) , my aunt´s name is Aura Jacqueline , My cousin´s daughter is Samira with an ( i ) , Genesis is a common 90´s name for girls here in Dominican Republic anyway , I was so excited to see names that the people around me have :) . For the baby name dilemma I thought about Josie , Jolene ( As in the Ray Lamontagne song ), Joliebelle , Jossmary . Great video !
There’s a very cool character in He-Man called Teela, who is a brave, fiery redhead! I think that kind of fits. I also love Lorelai, it’s a great mixture of soft but tough. Apolline is the feminine version of Apollo, here in France, so that could be an alternative goddess name, perhaps. For the girls’ name with Jo, Joelle is sweet, then there’s Jordana, Jocelyn, Joy...
Josette? Jocelyn?Or possibly a double barrel Annabelle Jo, Olivia Jo, Penelope Jo you could really have anything that way with a vintage vibe. Or it could be an alliteration nickname (Jessie Jo for Jessica, Jelly Jo for Angelica or Angel(a)).🥰
Esther is a beautiful name that I think of for a strong/rebel girls name. She was a Queen who was used by God to save the Jewish people and was so brave and beautiful. And Esther means “Star” which is so pretty and fits the celestial trend. Jovie is a secret favourite of mine! Think it’s so fun and upbeat ☺️
Here are some for the dilemma I'll try to find unique options How about Jovanna (you can still use the nickname Jovie that you like or Jo) Jovina has the same feel. Jozelle, Joyla, Jolina, Jocasta (means shining moon), Joetta, Jolanna, Joleesa, Jomara, Jordanna,
Hi SJ! I love the name Fallon but can't get over the barbie princess reference from 12 Dancing Princesses 😆 I would LOVE if you could make a list of fantasy names that you think work. For instance, names that might be in a dystopian fantasy world or names that would be in a tribe 😂😂 I'm not really sure how to explain it but I always love to see names that I could see in fantasy worlds like Caspian, Finnick etc 💕
My husband and I haven’t agreed on ANY baby names...but he loves Fallon...and so do I. So you just names our kid if it’s a girl! (We find out the gender on Friday)
Baby Name Dilemma: Beginning with Jo: Josalind, Josée, Jordania, Jocelyn, Jonah, Juno, Georgia (Jo)/Jorgia, Jonquière, Journey, Joella I think you could also have a name containing jo for the child to go by: Anjolie/ Enjolie, Alejo, I personally love Jorgia
Jovanna was on my list for years! I liked it better than the Giovanna spelling, because I was afraid Giovanna would be mispronounced as gee-o-van-na here in the US. The planned nickname was going to be Jovie, which is the name of Zooey Deschanel’s character in “Elf,” which is my favorite movie of all time. It isn’t on my list anymore, because I’ve fallen in love with Josephine! But I still recommend Jovanna, for anyone looking for an alternative to Josephine!
For Katie, i was thinking of a few options for you. Jolene, Jonica, Jolie, Joffreya, Josiella, Josianna, Jordina, Joplin, Jocasta, Joserah, and Josandra.
I’ve had Fallon on the list for a while, think it’s lovely! Recently noticed I favour girls names starting in B, R and F. Interesting to trend spot as your list grows..
The reason Nealina is popular in Scotland is because the Scots have a great tradition of feminizing boys' names by adding the -ina suffix on the end (e.g. Williamina), sadly this generations long habit has somewhat died off in the last 70 years or so. You're likely to find a 59 year old woman who answers to Williamina who has a granddaughter called Myla in Edinburgh than you are in Leeds
Jordana, Joelle, Josetta, Jocelyn, Marjorie, Journey, Joplin, Jones, Justice, Juliet and I also love Jo as a simple middle names so maybe something Jo would be cool too :) congrats on your sweet baby I’ve always loved Fallon and Maeve for sisters since they definitely have links so SJ great video can’t wait for next weeks video!
1st of all, SJ you are looking gorgeous on here! I watched every single video of yours but never came across the particular name I am interested in, which is I also find odd as per its stunning meaning and association. It is Maia, taken from Greek and Roman mythology, the most beautiful of all the 7 pleiades. Would you please let me know your thoughts? All the best x
Most of these aren't my style, but I do think Artemis is adorable! For Katie; Jovi, Joelle, Jodi, Joan, or Jocelyn (might be a more subtle nod with the short o)

I can't help but think about Princess Leia when thinking about "Rebel Princess"
And so similar sounding to Freya! I thought the same
Yes!! Can’t believe I didn’t include it 😂 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had a friend who name her daughter laya pronounced the same
Now we've gone rogue (1)
Love leia but my daughter is freya xx
We called our daughter Torvi - it’s a feminine version of Thor so she’s our little goddess of thunder
Omg I LOVE that
Torvi means horn, tube or pipe (like in windpipe e.g.) in Finnish
I saw Josette somewhere and always thought that was pretty!
Yes really pretty! Nice to keep Josie as the nickname too xx
My 6th time great grandmothers name was Josette
That one is lovely!
I love Josette, there is an old children's book series Drina Ballerina and that name is in it. I think it is so pretty.
When I hear the words "warrior princess", I automatically think of Xena from the TV series!
Oh my gosh that’s what I was thinking to! My mom and I used to watch that show all the time .
Same
I feel like Fallon and Sloane are perfect sister names! Can someone please use this combo because it’s not quite my style but I think it’s so cute!
Yes i love that combination! SJ x
I see what you mean! But honestly, I never have liked the name Sloane. I don't know why, but it just sounds old and just plain wrong...not that it is a bad name though...
my husband’s name is Talon, and i love the name Sloane, if that counts lol
I went to high school with a Faylon pronounced like Fallon
Or Fallon and Sutton like in The Bold Type!
who here has seen The Ring and would NEVER use the name Samara because of it 😂😅😳
I’ve not seen it!! Or maybe I have once but have blanked it out 😂😘😘😘
Super scary! That movie haunts me
Wow😳!!! That sure was the name of the girl in the Ring!!! Yeah that movie was super scary!!! I’m 31 years old and I’m still scared to see that movie again!!!
Shield on Netflix too!!
Yup!
For the dilemma - Jovie is one of my absolute favourite names! I think it sounds a little bit nicer than Jovian so maybe Katie would like it too
Yes! Just about to comment this!
I love Jovie
I love this list so much! I'm American, and have loved Freya for years. It was my secret guilty pleasure name, but it's finally getting quite popular over here. This list has given me some lovely alternatives! Way to go SJ
Yes it's crazy how popular Freya suddenly is :-) It's gorgeous; it was so fun to look for more rare alternatives - it's such a huge trend!
Yeah I’m surprised how my name has picked up. I blame tv shows lol
My name is Avery but most people call me Ave. my dad used to call me “Ave the Brave”
That is too cute 🥺
Love it 😍 my grandmother’s name is Avery 😍
I've been tracking my ancestry and I've come across so many interesting names:
Girls: Arethusa, Euphemia, Experience, Mehitable, Relief, Thankful
Boys: Waitstill, Hopestill
Those are just some of them. I think it would be cool if you track your ancestry or just look over birth records from 100+ years ago and make a list of unique names you like.
For the mum looking at a Jo- name for a girl, I ADORE Jolene! Flows so well, feminine, but still a strong name, timeless and classic but not old and not overused, and of course amazing song by the even more amazing Dolly Parton,
Absolutely love Artemis for a girl, with nicknames like Artie, Missy,
I was thinking Emi for a possible nickname too!
@@kayleighshultz7711 Yes or Temi/Timi
my favorite warrior princess is Azula!! it means blue, & comes from the show avatar: the last airbender. her character is so headstrong, clever, powerful, & a bit psychotic, but the name has such presence & rolls off the tongue! i named my feisty kitten this and it fits her perfectly
She was iconic 👏🏼🔥
My husband and I don't have a baby yet, but whenever we talk about having a daughter in the future, we always refer to her as Azula lol!! Now I need to spend my afternoon watching Avatar. ⬇️

Or you could just go with the initials? J for the first name and an O name in the middle
Suggestions: Juliette Olympia, Jemima Odessa, Jasmine Ottalie, Jennifer October, Jaime Oaka, Julia Ocean
Thank you for the suggestions! I did consider just Juno with the nickname Jo. Great minds think alike. 😁
I love the name Juniper. My bf doesn’t quite love it so I will probably never get to use it but I think the nickname Junie is also so cute for that name 💕
Just shared “Adira” from this list with my friend who already has a daughter “Everly” (Evey)
Everly & Adira is a great sister name combo
Yes those are lush together!! Thanks SO much for sharing that’s made my day xxx
Jolene - With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green, your smile is like a breath of spring, your voice is soft like summer rain...
Have a cousin named Ora. Same sound. I always think of laughter when I think of her; she laughs a lot and such a sweet giggle!
My daughters name is Samara 💜 We loved the hebrew meaning "protected by God" when she was rushed to a different hospitals NICU shortly after birth.
We had liked "Amara" before with its tie to love and her dad likes to say "its like mommys name (Samantha) with a little bit of love in it" Plus his name starts with "Ra" so its the beginning of mine and his put together which I think is a bonus too
I would suggest Jocelyn, they could still shorten it to Jo. ❤️
My favourite goddess name is Demetra.
I love Jocelyn! Perfect choice! X
Jocelyn has grown on me recently. My only problem is that my aunt's name (dad's sister) is Joyce Lyn so I think it's too close. I don't want it to seem like I'm honoring her instead of him. But I will keep it in mind.
@@katyc3638 if you have a good relationship with your aunt why not honor both of them?
I don't mean to intrude on such a personal choice, just food for thought. 🤗
A friend of mine had a little girl last year and her middle name is Artemis. So cute
Awww so happy to hear it's getting used xxx
Dynasty was the first I thought of when you said Fallon! Big NO to Samara, it's the name of the girl from the scariest movie ever - The Ring :O
I can’t wait to watch it! Dynasty not The Ring 🤪😘
I DEFINITELY AGREE BIG NO TO SAMARA!!! The Ring was a super scary movie!!!

I absolutely love this! 💖
That's such a beautiful name, congratulations on your baby girl! I love your name too :D
My name is Sara Matilda- Sara means princess, and Matilda means “mighty in battle.” Love this list!!
My name is Adair, so Adira was obviously my favorite! 😉❤
Ahh yes 😍😍
adair is soo prettyyy!!!!
You should do a Disney list! :)

Ah journey is a great idea!! Aura is so pretty isn’t it! Xxx
I would use Journey in a heartbeat, but my partner has vetoed it. That's a big part of what makes this so hard!!
i just know im going to love this list!❤️
It’s a really fun one 🥰🥰
OMG MY NAME IS ADIRA!!! I have never met anyone else with my name but I really like it!
I love Fallon!! Especially with the nickname Fae! Super sweet
There is a Dolly Parton song called Jolene and I think it’s a very pretty name.
Thank you so much for putting my dilemma out there!! I can't wait to see all of the suggestions. I also have to say that I love pretty much any name when it is said in your accent! They sound so much more beautiful than they do with an American accent. This list was so gorgeous too. I think Adira is my favorite from it.
Oh and how could I forget, Artemis is very high on the list for a middle name for a girl!

Jolette
Jordanna
Joseva
Josianne/a
Jovienne

I'll second Josefina! So pretty!
I was just about to suggest Jolina!! A nice twist on Jolene
Also... I really thought of Tawanda from Fried Green Tomatoes with this list's theme lololol
Walta is SO powerful sounding and very similar to Willa which is getting super popular. I think itd wonderful or if you wanted something similar to Walter or Atlas

Valta in Finnish is political power

Enyo is actually pronounced Eh-ny-oh in Greek 🙂

Always loved Jolene Joelle and Jolee
I was just writing out Johanna when you said it haha. I really like the name actually, I think it’s really pretty.
Joy or Joyce maybe? I love the name Joy.

Love goddess names! My dog is called Deimos (actually a male god) but they were the god of dread. Child of Ares and Aphrodite.

Thank you!
For Jo, I was first going to suggest Johanna. But since that's off the table, I'd go with Jovanna or alternatively Giovanna (Gio for short).
My daughter's name is Aadhira, pronounced similarly to Adira (we actually considered this spelling at first 😅). The way we spelled it, it's actually a popular Indian name meaning moon.
Enyo (might've been enjo) was a cleaning cloth in Australia bwithba little jingle "enyo enyo enyo, a cleaning we will go!"
Enjo but pronounced the same. First thing I thought of too...
I came across a good one for this recently thats underused in my opinion. The name Brenda is an old norse name meaning blade of a sword! So cool, tough and soft at the same time. Love it
Brenda was pretty popular back in the late 70s-early 80s. At least in the US.
Ahh SJ, what a great video, love your channel ❤️

For the dilemna - I think Josephine is a beautiful name & then can be Jo or Josie for short.

Santiago?
Marcus?
There's a princess named Fallon in an old Barbie movie...I think it was Barbie and the Twelve Dancing Princesses. I don't remember anything else about it, but I remember ten-year-old me was struck by the name!
Which was the name you nearly didn't include?! Sorry if you already said in the video - just super curious :) - thank you for another brilliant video xxx
What a title! I’m here for this! 🙌🏼
I met an Artemis in college ( That was her middle name) , my aunt´s name is Aura Jacqueline , My cousin´s daughter is Samira with an ( i ) , Genesis is a common 90´s name for girls here in Dominican Republic anyway , I was so excited to see names that the people around me have :) . For the baby name dilemma I thought about Josie , Jolene ( As in the Ray Lamontagne song ), Joliebelle , Jossmary . Great video !
There’s a very cool character in He-Man called Teela, who is a brave, fiery redhead! I think that kind of fits. I also love Lorelai, it’s a great mixture of soft but tough. Apolline is the feminine version of Apollo, here in France, so that could be an alternative goddess name, perhaps. For the girls’ name with Jo, Joelle is sweet, then there’s Jordana, Jocelyn, Joy...
Josette? Jocelyn?Or possibly a double barrel Annabelle Jo, Olivia Jo, Penelope Jo you could really have anything that way with a vintage vibe. Or it could be an alliteration nickname (Jessie Jo for Jessica, Jelly Jo for Angelica or Angel(a)).🥰
My cousin's name is Maenola Jo (a combination of a bunch of her father's sisters' names Willamae, Nola, and Betty Jo).
I have. cousin called Abby Jo
Fluffy trixie bell kind of girl ! What a mouthful lol
I went to school with a Jocelyn and loved it. My former stepdaughter was Jocel (Jo-sell) which I also loved and I called her Josie.
If you like adira but want a little twist I think that Alida or Alina is wodnerful
I love your channel I have always loved names and names meaning
Esther is a beautiful name that I think of for a strong/rebel girls name. She was a Queen who was used by God to save the Jewish people and was so brave and beautiful. And Esther means “Star” which is so pretty and fits the celestial trend.
Jovie is a secret favourite of mine! Think it’s so fun and upbeat ☺️
Here are some for the dilemma I'll try to find unique options
How about Jovanna (you can still use the nickname Jovie that you like or Jo) Jovina has the same feel.
Jozelle, Joyla, Jolina, Jocasta (means shining moon), Joetta, Jolanna, Joleesa, Jomara, Jordanna,
I have a friend name Jovita, such a unique name since she's the first one I've heard with that name
Hi SJ! I love the name Fallon but can't get over the barbie princess reference from 12 Dancing Princesses 😆 I would LOVE if you could make a list of fantasy names that you think work. For instance, names that might be in a dystopian fantasy world or names that would be in a tribe 😂😂 I'm not really sure how to explain it but I always love to see names that I could see in fantasy worlds like Caspian, Finnick etc 💕
I came across the name Thora the other day and I’m absolutely in love!!! I’m smitten with it definitely will be using it if I’m having a girl 💜
Jovie would be perfect especially if her father is an upbeat, happy guy.
I do love Jovie! I would prefer something like Jovian with the nickname Jovie. Maybe I can get my partner to reconsider...
My husband and I haven’t agreed on ANY baby names...but he loves Fallon...and so do I. So you just names our kid if it’s a girl! (We find out the gender on Friday)
Congratulations on your pregnancy!!! If you do end up with a little baby Fallon, I’m sure she’ll be gorgeous
I met a little girl named Jolee and I thought it was adorable!!
Baby Name Dilemma:
Beginning with Jo: Josalind, Josée, Jordania, Jocelyn, Jonah, Juno, Georgia (Jo)/Jorgia, Jonquière, Journey, Joella
I think you could also have a name containing jo for the child to go by:
Anjolie/ Enjolie, Alejo,
I personally love Jorgia
My favourite is definitely Juno, or the full version Junona. I really like Jo for short.
@@maggiek2589 Jonah for a girl is a fave of mine
Or Jorja like jorja smith
Jovanna was on my list for years! I liked it better than the Giovanna spelling, because I was afraid Giovanna would be mispronounced as gee-o-van-na here in the US. The planned nickname was going to be Jovie, which is the name of Zooey Deschanel’s character in “Elf,” which is my favorite movie of all time.
It isn’t on my list anymore, because I’ve fallen in love with Josephine! But I still recommend Jovanna, for anyone looking for an alternative to Josephine!
For Katie, i was thinking of a few options for you. Jolene, Jonica, Jolie, Joffreya, Josiella, Josianna, Jordina, Joplin, Jocasta, Joserah, and Josandra.
I’ve had Fallon on the list for a while, think it’s lovely! Recently noticed I favour girls names starting in B, R and F. Interesting to trend spot as your list grows..
It’s lovely isn’t it! So special sounding x
Grainne belongs on this list! It has the “ya” sound like Freya I think it goes so well because of the legend!
Yes! I love Grainne!
Joessa, brings in the Josephine, Josie, vbies but also has the option of Essie for a nickname as well.
Love names with meanings especially for girls and adore Adira, Nealina and Genesis. I really appreciated this list and added to my favourites! ♥️💗💓
Cool names!
For the baby name dilemma how about Joelle?
Don't know if I'm having a boy or s girl but if it's a girl, Artemis is top of our list! X
Enjo (pronounced like enyo) is a very well known cleaning brand here in Australia, can’t get passed it 😂
I have a friend named Joetta, which I love.
I’m so excited for this list 😍
It’s a super fun one!! Xxx
Has she ever mentioned the name Isadora? 💕
The reason Nealina is popular in Scotland is because the Scots have a great tradition of feminizing boys' names by adding the -ina suffix on the end (e.g. Williamina), sadly this generations long habit has somewhat died off in the last 70 years or so. You're likely to find a 59 year old woman who answers to Williamina who has a granddaughter called Myla in Edinburgh than you are in Leeds
My daughter’s middle name is Riot
Amazing!!! That's such a great name x
for the dilemma- Joela and johanna i think are wonderful names
Samara is a nice name, but it’s also the name of the character in the horror movie The Ring. It’s always a shame when good names get taken.
💯 makes me think of The Ring as well
Jordana, Joelle, Josetta, Jocelyn, Marjorie, Journey, Joplin, Jones, Justice, Juliet and I also love Jo as a simple middle names so maybe something Jo would be cool too :) congrats on your sweet baby
I’ve always loved Fallon and Maeve for sisters since they definitely have links so SJ great video can’t wait for next weeks video!
Jordana is a good one
Samara always reminds me of the movie “the ring”. I don’t even know if that was her name but it has that association for me 😢
My little girls called Leia🥰 one of these would be great for a second rebel princess name!
1st of all, SJ you are looking gorgeous on here! I watched every single video of yours but never came across the particular name I am interested in, which is I also find odd as per its stunning meaning and association. It is Maia, taken from Greek and Roman mythology, the most beautiful of all the 7 pleiades. Would you please let me know your thoughts? All the best x
I think Frigg is a nice alternative for Freya ❤️
Dilemma- Johanna or Jolana💖
My favorite thing about Aura is the meaning! I love that it means morning breeze
Most of these aren't my style, but I do think Artemis is adorable!
For Katie; Jovi, Joelle, Jodi, Joan, or Jocelyn (might be a more subtle nod with the short o)
