Non-clicky girl names

Manderlin923

I can't make this clicky for some reason. I did a poll on another board and nobody voted for these names so I want to re-poll here and see what you think.

Which of the following do you like the most? Or if you must, which do you hate the least? Put them in order if you wish.

Veda (vay-duh)

Delilah (absoloutely love but it doesn't flow the best with our L last name)

Selah (see-lah, or say-lah- how would you pronounce it?)

Sonia (sawn-yah)

Middle name would be Frances or Josephine. If you would like to offer other suggestions those are more than welcome!

eta- I should add that the way I pronounce Sonia is with the first syllable very soft, almost like sun and sawn put together.

Veda- I am not a fan, I like Vera better.

Delilah- The best on this list.

Selah (see-lah, or say-lah- how would you pronounce it?) - The town right next to mine is Selah. It is pronounced See-luh. I am not a fan.

Sonia (sawn-yah) - I would never pronounce this as Sawn-yah. I would only say it as Sone-yah. I hate it with your pronunciation. It is ok with Sone-yah pronunciation.

Sonia is my favorite, but as PP have said, only if pronounced Sohn-ya.

I love Veda (total GP name for me - and yes, I like My Girl).

Selah is NMS, but not bad. I've only heard it pronounced Sell-uh.

Do not like Delilah.

lol, that's fine...I really hate the sone-yah pronunciation so I'm thinking it might be good to scratch the name- I think that pronunciation is more common. Unless maybe it's a regional thing.

BlindysWife

I really freakin hate Sonia. I'm not sure why. It seems so... bitchy, I think. 

Love Delilah. I like Veda and Selah (I would say see-luh) equally.

I think Veda Josephine sounds nice. 

Mochadoodle

Veda - Like it.

Delilah - Love it!

Selah - Like it.

Sonia - Like it.

I'm not a fan of any of those. I do like the suggestion of Ada or Isla. 

Pas1224

I love Veda Josephine!!

I like Delilah Josephine.  Maybe Josephine Deliliah if you don't like the way it sounds with your last name?

I don't really like Selah and Sonia.

ha, maybe that's what I don't like the sone-yah pronunciation. It seems bitchy and snobby to me. Thanks for your input, everyone. Keep it comin'

1. Sonia: I love Sonia, but ditto pp about the pronunciation.

2. Selah: I would say SAY-lah

3. Delilah: I like the sound of this name and am sort of tickled to see its recent rise in popularity given its literary connotations.

4. Veda: I don't like Veda at all. All I see is Darth Vader. In this neck of the woods, they are pronounced the same.

 

My pick would be Sonia Josephine.

1NAM

I like Delilah the best.

I know too many people named sonia.

I like Selah becuase its different. Never heard of anyone named that before

Here's my favorite to least favorite list for you  

Veda
Selah
Sonia
Delilah

Pumpkins+Junebug

My favorite is Selah (looove Selah Josephine!) I would pronounce it "SEH-lah" - almost like Say-lah but not quite an A sound. That's how I've heard Jewish friends say it, anyway.

Next fave would be Delilah, but it's nowhere near Selah - and I don't really care for Veda or Sonia. 

nlscroggins

selah (see-lah), veda, delilah, then sonia. 

i like selah best because i've never met a selah. i know a veda and she rocks, and i love my girl. delilah is pleasant, but reminds me of that overplayed song, strongly dislike sonia.  

magnoliablossom00

Veda- I don't like it because it reminds me My Girl, which (to me) is a horribly sad story about a girl who is always lonely. Even in My Girl 2, it's just so sad.

Delilah- I don't think it would matter about your last name.

Selah - I know someone who named their daughter this. They pronounce it "Sel-ah", like the girl from the Bible.

Sonia (sawn-yah) - I would pronounce this Sone-yah as well. However, I do know people who pronounce it the way you want. Be prepared to correct people her whole life if you choose this name though.

newmompeanut

I agree!  I LOVE Veda Josephine

LemonBlush

I like them in the order you list: Veda, Delilah, Selah, Sonia. I really like Veda.

DaisyZH

1. Delilah - I think this is pretty and feminine

2. Selah - Pretty and different

3. Sonia - I agree it will probably be pronounced differently

4. Veda  

I really like both of your middle name choices.

lifeonthehill

Delilah or Sonia

everchangingcycles

Selah- SAY-lah. I love this name. Babysat a girl name Selah and she was an absolute doll.

and sorry...I don't really like any of these.  

Sonia

Delilah

Veda 

Selah Josephine sounds great. 

starshineamator

Delilah and Sonia are the best on your list, but the way you describe it isn't really the way Sonia is pronounced. Given that, I don't know if I would choose it, and since Delilah doesn't go with your last name... You may want to find some new ideas. 

Have you considered using Josephine for a first name instead of a middle? It is really beautiful.  

alohamora

Veda - makes me think of My Girl, and then it has kind of an old lady smoker vibe to me.  No idea why.

Delilah - like

Selah - I really like it, but I'd pronounce it say-lah.  I think it can be either way, so you'd have to deal with pronunciation issues.

Sonia - I would pronounce it sone-yah, as did the Sonia I used to know.  I think it's a nice name.

willis623

i like all the names! they are so interesting and different without being too out there!

selah is pretty, i know someone named sella (like Stella without the t) i really like it.

Delilah is very pretty! Delilah Josephine or even Lilah Josephine would be a winner in my book

good luck!

bobcee

My daughter is Delilah so I obviously love that one.  I think Delilah Josephine sounds great, but it's hard to say how it flows with your last name without knowing it. 

My next favorite is Sonia, followed by Veda, then Selah

swimiz500

I just LOVE Selah. It is on my girl list. Also love Veda. Sonia is pretty, but I don't like it as much as the others. Delilah would not be great with an L last name. 

this decaf life

1. Veda

2. Delilah

3. Sonia

4. Selah - ruled out because of pronunciation

Love the name Frances. 

JLGY

I like Sonia and Delilah. Don't like the others.

9fraulein

I would steer clear of any name that needs a pronunciation in parenthesis to follow...because she will get annoyed her whole life with people messing it up.
