I Need help choosing?

I want to limit my list down to three. After much talking to family, friends, etc, I have gotten these 6 names:



My last name is Corentin (kore-en-teen)



Octavia Juliet Corentin

Daphne Aviva Corentin

Daphne Octavia Corentin

Daphne Matilda Corentin

Serafina Juliet Corentin

Gwendolen Aviva Corentin



Help me limit my list. Don't suggest any new names, as I am definatly going with one of these. I would appreciate if you gave opinions for each one, and reasons why. Saying "i dont like it" won't help me.

I Need help choosing?
imnot sure about any of them. im really not trying to be mean or rude. octavia, i know a ladt that is like 90 years old with that name so it makes me think of an old lady. daphne reminds me of scooby doo. gwendolen is ok, but still i think of an older lady. serafina, i have never heard before, but i guess that would be my favorite.
Reply:Serafina Juliet Corentin~ Serafina is BEAUTIFUL! Sera or Sara could be a wonderful nickname! The middle and first name tie in splendidly.



Octavia Juliet Corentin~ I %26lt;3 this one because the name is different, Octavia im assuming is pronounced Oct-A-via



Daphne Octavia Corentin~ Same from above I absolutely %26lt;3 Octavia.



Your names are very unique and I believe that that is wonderful. After awhile the same old names get dull and boring. GOOD LUCK!
Reply:1) Serafina Juliet Corentin

It's uncommon, but still absolutely gorgeous...

2)Gwendolen Aviva Corentin

Extremely elegant... especially Gwendolyn... and Aviva is more simple... but still lovely...

and... sorry but... I really don't like any of the other ones... Octavia seems too harsh... and it makes me think of an octopus... and I don't know why but... I've never liked the name Daphne... it sounds like someone sneezed... and I get the image of a girl who doesn't have any brains...

hope it helped... :)...
Reply:With your last name being so difficult to spell wouldn't you want to give your child a simple first name? That's what I'm doing so they don't struggle learning to write and spell it in school.. but of your list.. I'd have to go with Daphne Aviva. Best of luck.

suppose octavia even tough its the name of a very low priced car (scoda octavia)
Reply:I think you have a lovely taste, ignore the comments that say it's old-fashioned. Well if you compare these to all the Madisons and Kaylas then yes... lol. With a surname like yours those suggestions will make gorgeous names. I adore Daphne Matilda, I think it's the best of your combination suggestions. Daphne is one of my own favourites, I think it's such a classic, feminine name. The sensible Matilda balances it out nicely and I love it that you're not pairing it up with a filler. I think Octavia or Aviva with Daphne would be a little overwhelming, but Matilda is perfect. I also like Gwendolen Aviva and I love the nickname Gwen. Octavia and Serafina are both alright as a given name (although I prefer Seraphina), but I think Juliet cuts the flow in the middle (the T - K). Daphne Matilda or Gwendolen Aviva, both are lovely.
Reply:my top 3 would be

Serafina Juliet

Gwendolen Aviva

Daphne Matilda



-Octavia Juliet--not to fond of either of these names...i dont think they flow very well either..

-Daphne Aviva-i like both names..but dont think they flow well..the "a" on Aviva doesnt go with the "e" at the end of Daphne.

-Daphne Octavia-like Daphne, dont like Octavia..plus i dont think it flows well (see Daphne Aviva for reason)

-Daphne Matilda-both cute names..and flow well even though they have the a and e thing again.

-Serafina Juliet-Serafina is very different and pretty and goes nice with Juliet which is also pretty.

-Gwendolen Aviva-like both names a lot..and neither are too common. very pretty.

Reply:Top Three:

Daphne Matilda

Gwendolen Aviva

Daphne Aviva%26lt;--Not too big on this one, but I had to choose three.



Octavia Juliet-Love Juliet, not Octavia.

Daphne Aviva-No idea how to say Aviva, but Daphne's nice.

Daphne Octavia-Again, like Daphne, not Octavia.

Daphne Matilda-Matilda is gorgeous.

Serafina Juliet-A bit too out there.

Gwendolen Aviva-LOVE Gwendolen.
Reply:I like all the first names except for Serafina. I think Aviva sounds like an allergy medicine, but the other middle names are nice.
Reply:I would keep these 3:

Daphne Matilda Corentin - love this one, Matilda Daphne Corentin would be great too



Daphne Aviva Corentin - Again, very nice. Daphne is adorable and the zesty, fresh sound of Aviva complements it beautifully



Daphne Octavia Corentin or Gwendolen Aviva Corentin - lovely to see this spelling over the manly Gwendolyn too!



Serafina and Octavia are nice names but a bit much for my taste. They make nice middle names but I wouldn't use them as first names
Reply:Gwendolen Aviva. Gwendolen Matilda would be nice.
Reply:Many here have expressed negative views of the names you picked.



All the names are "old" world or victorian or turn of the century names and quite a mouthful for one so small.

Have you considered using one of these names with a more conventional name too.



My picks would be

Juliet; Daphne
Reply:Your naming trend seems very old fashioned, which I appreciate. Unfortunately I am not very fond of the names mainly because of my own tastes except for Octavia, it is classic and beautiful.
Reply:Daphne Matilda Corentin or Daphne Aviva Corentin are my choices.
Reply:Daphne Octavia or Daphne Matilda



both gorgeous and sound good with your last name
Reply:Daphne Aviva is the only one I like as its pretty, although I prefer Aviva as the first name or it wont be recognised much and its a lovely name. The others are ok but i just dont like the way the names flow
Reply:I think that the last choice, Gwendolen Aviva is the prettiest.Gwen Corentin sounds the best when you don't use the middle name. When you put it all together it rolls of the lips.
Reply:octavia juliet is pretty and the best name!!!!!
