Naarah Girl of my heart, origin – Hebrew
Nadifa Born between seasons, origin –
Somalian

What will the Os bring? What N names
d'you like.
Nadafi - born between seasons; I think that could mean having the best of both worlds with Winter dying down to a meekness and Spring bursting with new flower buds and returning birds.

I didn't know that about Nadine either with hope; that's another name not heard a lot these days, but pretty.
ReplyDeleteNoah is a great N name :)

I had a Nintal in my first and second books.
ReplyDeleteNoor - Arabic, means light, Nupur (Indian, anklet), Neelam (Indian, sapphire), Nirmal/a (Pure,clean, untarnished) I like Nickolas and its variations, Naomi, Nora also. O is a tough one for names, can only think of Oliver and Owen :)

ReplyDeleteNeily, Neely, Nathan, Nicholas,Nigel, Niven, Nevis, Nolan, Nexxie, Nott, Nash
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Noadiah makes sense. I don't know how the others got their meanings. I wonder, if we checked out meaning before we named our children, would we choose differently?
