Zulema — This is my best friend's name, but she spells it just a little different. I love it. She prefers to go by Zee.Zuleika — Very pretty.Zoraida — Too busy and clunky/heavy.Wendy — I have a super soft spot in my heart for this name. Loved it ever since I watched Peter Pan for the first time, but it isn't something I could see myself ever using. A bit dated.Geneva — I think a lot of people on this board like/love this name but I could never wrap my head around the appeal. Sounds kind of awkward to me. Genevieve and Eva are both a lot better imo.Gelsomina — I think it's plain ugly. Samina is better.Marthese — Not sure how to pronounce this name.Nadia — Lovely.Onerva — I hate it.Sinikka — Pretty, and the meanings lovely. Has nickname potential too.Olga — For some reason I've always loved this name.Diamond — Mehhhh. Very uninteresting. Gwen — One of my all time favorites, along with Gwyn.Wanda — Ugly and reminds me of the fairy from the cartoon.
Wanda — Ugly and reminds me of the fairy from the cartoon.
What cartoon?
Fairly Odd Parents! She's not a bad character, just a strong association
Zulema - ok
Zuleika - ok
Zoraida - I like this one
Wendy - I like this, find it cute, is also a family name
Geneva - I like this
Gelsomina - not a fan
Marthese - not a fan but I'm not fond of Martha either
Nadia - like it
Onerva - I love O names and this one is neat though I'm not adding it to my PNL
Sinikka - ok
Olga - not a fan
Diamond - ok
Gwen - love it
Wanda - ok, reminds me of the Scarlet Witch, I've met so few Wandas... it also feels kind of dated to me. Feels 50s/60s to me.
Nadia is so beautiful! Geneva and Gwen are also nice.
Personally, I have never liked the names Wanda or Olga. I can't really picture a child named Diamond. Pearl is the farthest I would go with a gemstone name. But it's ultimately your choice and I think you have some solid choices :)
I genuinely like Wendy and Olga. Olga made it onto my baby name list. The rest aren't really my vibe.
Love Nadia! One of my favorite names and I love the meaning. Gwen is also cute and timeless. Olga I love but is not as popular among Americans today. The rest are a bit obscure to me but would be totally fine
