Dahlia

We’re looking for a middle name to go with [name]Dahlia[/name]. Her daddy strongly prefers classic names, but I’d like it to have a twist: vintage, earthy, ethnic, or literary. I think this goes without mention at this site (thank heavens ) but trendy names are not an option. We both prefer very feminine names. Last name is one syllable starting with “V”.

Bonus points for some sort of feminized version of [name]Richard[/name], as it may prevent her paternal grandparents from rogue nicknaming her “[name]Ricki[/name]” (shudder)!
