Hi
ReplyDeleteI think you should call it EMILY - it means to strive, excel or rival
To Strive - by creating a new product as part of your ongoing range you continue to strive in meeting and excelling your customers needs -your new Mia or EMILY piece is a rival to your other pieces but in essence is a part of the overall Koolaman product family - it hopes to stand on its own feet being attractive due to its differentiating features but is aligned with the overall theme of the other products in the range
Plus it sounds nice and aligns with the other names you have chosen such as MIA and ELIZA - all beautiful soft names to reflect the distinguishing features of each piece.

What about 'Mika' as it's a combination of Mia and Kate.

I love Ninka - this is the name of a new friend, a beautiful and talented girl ♥
ReplyDeleteAsha.
ReplyDeleteshort but sweet
maybe even a bit exotic.
little bit different, like your jewellery
'Chloe' I think it's a beautiful feminine mid size name. It also has an 'O' sound which reminds me it's a circular pendant. Lol bit daggy I know but that's how I remember things.
ReplyDeleteLian Murphy ( FB fan) lsmurphy@iinet.net.au
It screams out the name 'Elle' to me. So pretty and femine!
ReplyDeleteI love the name 'Lorelei'
ReplyDeleteIt's such a gorgeous name <3
mokys@iinet.net.au
I'm a fan of Ruby also.. meaning precious gem and my daughters name.. or even Alice (her second name) as it a very girlie name.
ReplyDeleteMy mums name is VICTORY.... she waz born on Rememberence day..the day the war ended.She hates the name but I luv it.... she is 91 yrs young.... so mayb VICKI for short
ReplyDeleteDebbie Murray FB...muzz137@optusnet.com.au
I think the name should start with "L" as it is the letter between K (Kate) and M (Mia)and the new "Mia" is inbetween both of these. I found these two names from 'the complete book of baby names' by Bruce Lansky and think they have wonderful meanings for such a beautiful pendant.
ReplyDeleteLeilani - Hawaiian for heavenly child
Latika - Hindi for elegant

I had a friend who was the middle child of three girls and her name was Messina.It is Latin for the middle child. I think it's rather apt.
ReplyDeleteI think it would suit the name Bella - meaning beautiful...seems quite fitting for one of your stunning designs!
ReplyDeleteNic xxx
Lila (pronounced leela)
ReplyDeleteAfter reading through all the other names of your pieces, I think my daughters middle name would suit in there as well - Grace.
ReplyDeleteNic xxx
SIENNA - it has always been a favourite of mine. It is a pretty name and also a elegant one- exactly like this stunning necklace.

The 'Ava'. In memory of Ava Rosemeyer, who on the 22nd of this month was to turn 7, but tragically passed away in February 2007.
ReplyDeleteThe annual Ava Tea Party launches officially this month with proceeds from some very special designers being donated to Paradise Kids a wonderful support organisiation for grieving families. www.avasteaparty.com
You can read about Ava, her gorgeous Mumma Sheye (a dear friend of mine) at www.sheyerosemeyerphotography.com/blog/ and on her memorial site http://avarosemeyer.memory-of.com/About.aspx
Ava is such a beauty-full name anyway, but in honour of such a treasured little girl it makes it all the more special!
Lea

I think the name "Charlotte" would suit perfectly. The name Charlotte means "little/tiny" and "womanly/feminine" and would tie in well with the other names in your collection.
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful giveaway girls, well done : )
such lovely names suggested with beautiful meanings but of course, like most Mum's would, I will suggest my eldest daughters name, 'Claire', meaning clear and bright.
ReplyDeleteHave fun choosing! I'm sure the end name will jump out at you when you read it.
Natalie
I like the name ♥ LIANA ♥ which happens to be my little girls name. I like the fact that L is between K for KATE and M for MIA and that the meaning of Liana is "youthful" (little MIA) and "to twine around" like the beautiful circular pendant family this is! Keep up the good work girls ♥
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of having a name that starts with the letter 'L' too as it is in between 'K' and 'M', however I suggest the name LUCY as it is a short name like Mia & Kate and it is also very feminine. It is also my best friends name, an honour to her!

Hi there I have one of your gorgeous pieces with my 3 childrens names on it and LOVE it! I think you should call your new piece GRIFFIN (its my sons name) and I think you need a male name, there are lots of boy mummies out there maybe it could be one for them?? just a thought
ReplyDeleteLove your Stuff

My husband has always called me 'Trixie'. He's a big bold farmer and when I first asked him why he said it was because 'Trixie' was the name of his first pony!!!! He said he loved that horse like nothing else on earth. I guess that makes it a very special name indeed :)

What about Lacy, I agreee with an earlier comment that an L name as it is inbetween Kate and Mia, and after its two creators.

ReplyDeleteFrom a bias mum with a gorgeous baby girl called Autumn.
"Poppy" such a sweet, cheerful and uplifting name, which makes you want to smile - which is how one would feel wearing such a beautiful, sentimental piece of jewellery!
ReplyDeleteHow about the name Darcy... a "classic" unisex name, and also a pendant that could be worn by either sex??
ReplyDeletekyliebrand@iinet.net.au
Given that all of your other beautiful pieces have such timeless names what about Harriet, my beautiful 41/2 yr olds name and also the name of a great aunt of my mother.

The first thing that came to mind was "Infinity".

if not summer, i do like the thought behind mika, between mia and kate. that's cool.

A very big THANK YOU to everyone who popped their comments down... We've made our decision on what name to give the "new mia" pendant..
ReplyDeleteWe've opted for a name that we think is fitting for the pendant something, elegant, classic, sophisticated.... AUDREY!
We had a difficult time choosing, with so many wonderful suggestions, we're going to have work on some new pendants to be able to use some of them.
Very special mention to the comments for Lacey, we think that's a really special name.
Thank you!
