Acacia
What do you think of the name Acacia (ah-kay-sha) for a girl? I'm looking for something feminine, but not used or heard very often. I'm also looking for a middle name; I've found these but can't decide on one. Any suggestions? Possible last name is Frost.Amethyst
Apple (My friend really likes them together)
Blue
Briar
Briley
Bronwyn
Clementine
Cyan
Dawn
Ember
Estelle
Garnet
Harmony
Helene (not sure on pronounciation, though)
Imogene
Indigo
Iris
Lavender
Lilac
London
Lyris
Makai (I saw this on a website and it flows well to me)
Penelope
Sapphire (This name keeps growing on me)
Scarlet(t)
Selene
Soleil (Pronounciation?)
Violet
WinterIf you can think of any others, let me know. I'm looking for something uncommon for the middle name, but I'm open to anything as long as it flows.Aeon: I know I came here to kill you...

Acacia is a pretty name. Acacia Frost seems ok but it reminds me of an acacia tree covered in frost. It sounds like the name of a ski resort. It's still nice though.
Amethyst - Amethyst is a really nice name but Amethyst Frost is a bit tacky. I think of amethyst colored frost.
Apple (My friend really likes them together)
Blue - This is cute for a pet but not for a person. It's ok as a middle name though. Blue Frost is really tacky imo.
Briar - very nice. Briar is a nature name but Briar Frost isn't as obvious as some of the others.
Briley - cute but trendy.
Bronwyn - nice but not really my style. I prefer Branwen and Anwen.
Clementine - Clementine Frost flows nicely but Clementine is nms.
Cyan - I love this name for a girl. Cyan Frost is another nature phrase but it's not as obvious as something like Violet. I still would avoid using Cyan with Frost though.
Dawn - This would make a nice middle name. Dawn Frost doesn't flow all that well and it ends up being a nature phrase name.
Ember - pretty but it might be mistaken as Amber. Ember Frost sounds like two nature words thrown together imo.
Estelle - pretty. I like this as a middle name.
Garnet - nice but Garnet Frost is nms for the same reason as Violet Frost, Scarlett Frost, etc.
Harmony - cute

Acacia is the first name, and I'm most likely going to change Frost to something else. I just haven't decided what yet.Thanks for the alternatives, though.Aeon: I know I came here to kill you...

Acacia Dawn
Acacia Ember
Acacia Helene
Acacia Indigo
Acacia Iris (love this one!)
Acacia Lilac (this too)
Acacia Sapphire (I like Sapphire, but would NEVER use it)
Acacia Scarlett
Acacia Selene
Acacia Soleil
Acacia VioletMy picks are Acacia Iris, Acacia Lilac, and Acacia Violet. For a non-flower or nature name, my favorite is Acacia Selene.

I like Acacia.Acadia is another similar name I like a lot. I know a cute toddler named Jocelyn Acadia. Since Acacia is a botanical name, I'd probably avoid using a mn thats another flower. It makes the combo sound like a body spray or candle fragrance or something.Acacia Bronwen
Acacia Winter
Acacia Selene
Acacia Helene...those are probably my favorites.
