WDYT between these two girl names?

lakelady4 · September 2013

Both of these names are family names of great aunts dating to the early 1900s. WDYT of them for a girl?

Maretta and Geneva

MN Louise or Adele??

The other name that we are tossing around is Myrl.... It was my grandfather's name (yes, spelled this way and he was born in the 1920s) I have found that it means Falcon, and that it is actually a female name according to www.ourbabynamer.com

Geneva Is pretty. I'd go with Geneva Adele.

I like Geneva Adele or Geneva Myrl.

I really like Geneva! Geneva Louise and Geneva Adele both sound good to me, but I slightly prefer Louise.

Not a fan of Myrl at all. Sorry grandpa.

There was an old country singer named Merle Haggard. This spelling makes more sense to me than Myrl.

I really like Maretta. Geneva is a place to me so I'm not a fan. Maretta Louise is a lovely name.

I like Maretta. Looks perhaps made up, but its a family name for you and I think it sounds prettier than Geneva.

I like Maretta Louise best, then Geneva Louise. Geneva Adele is next.

I think Myrl would be okay in the middle name spot. I can't like it as a first name. And, yes, of course keep the spelling like that as it was how your grandfather spelled it and Merle is too much a boy's name anyway. I like alliteration, so Maretta Myrl happens to sound nice to me. I don't like the flow of Geneva Myrl.
