I need help restoring my long list of boys and girls names, and I’m hoping to add a few more to the list.
My computer is utter rubbish and is getting pitched this day because it is possessed. The final straw is deleting everything (for the upteenth time) including my short list (thank God it’s on the internet as well!) and my long list which I need your help recreating.
To get a feel for my girl taste think: feminine, strong, vintage, cultural and rare
For boys: Strong, biblical, Irish, with vowels
And meaning is incredibly important to me.
If that doesn’t help here is my full “short” list.
See if you can make heads or tails.
Note to self and others: Have your lists, name meanings ect. writte down in ink!
Thank you Irisrose! Since you put so much time into this I think I’ll look at them individually!

[name]Guinevere[/name]: [name]Gwendolyn[/name] is at the top of my list, thus canceling out the use of this amazing name
