THANKS for the ideas! Keep them coming – don’t worry about repeats, I’ll sort them! It’s interesting to see some names mentioned multiple times anyway, because I might not have thought of that name on my own, but obviously several others think of it as “elegant.”
These are going on the list for the first time, back on the list after dropping, or giving me an idea to search out:
[name_f]Odette[/name_f] (I love almost all the O names)
[name_f]Benilde[/name_f] (I’m going to to look for “-ilde” names…I love Quenilda and [name_f]Tilda[/name_f] and almost like [name_f]Hilda[/name_f] and [name_f]Clothilde[/name_f])
[name_f]Adela[/name_f] (Hubs says no to [name_f]Adele[/name_f] but I never thought to add another syllable, he might be okay with that)
Izella* I have never seen this one before
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] (I forget why we tossed this one so it gets another look)
[name_f]Lenore[/name_f] (maybe we should just get over [name_u]Poe[/name_u])
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] (this one is growing on me)
[name_f]Isla[/name_f] (my husband nominated this before, I’d like to find something similar to it)
[name_f]Giovanna[/name_f] (we had this on a middle list but never considered it as a first)
[name_f]Celestine[/name_f] ([name_f]Celeste[/name_f] and [name_f]Celestia[/name_f] didn’t make it but we’ll look at this)
[name_f]Cerise[/name_f]* this one is totally new
[name_f]Clarice[/name_f]/[name_f]Clarisse[/name_f] (I found this one earlier this week so I’m really glad to see it mentioned several times here)
[name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] (might as well look at this too… [name_f]Callista[/name_f] wasn’t quite right)
[name_f]Brisa[/name_f]* new
[name_f]Isannah[/name_f] (I’m sure I have looked at this one before but forgot it… Iselda, Zuza didn’t make it so maybe this?)
[name_f]Octavia[/name_f] (never can decide so I’ll get my husband’s take)
[name_f]Tanith[/name_f] (probably not quite on this one either, but it goes with [name_f]Blythe[/name_f], [name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f] so I’ll look for more ends-in-TH names)
[name_f]Raziela[/name_f]* new
[name_f]Luana[/name_f]* new ([name_f]Luna[/name_f] didn’t quite make it so maybe this)
[name_f]Nerida[/name_f] * new
[name_f]Paloma[/name_f] (take another look)
[name_f]Vasiliki[/name_f] (I never can decide if I love this so I should definitely put it on the list for my husband to review)
[name_f]Roxana[/name_f] (going back)
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f](also going back)
[name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] (just put this one on yesterday or today!)
[name_f]Fiamma[/name_f] (DH might like this)

[name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], [name_f]Juno[/name_f], [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Coralie[/name_f], [name_f]Helena[/name_f], [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f]/[name_f]Seraphine[/name_f]/[name_f]Serafina[/name_f], [name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f], [name_f]Celeste[/name_f]/[name_f]Celestia[/name_f], [name_f]Colette[/name_f]/[name_f]Nicolette[/name_f], [name_f]Emerald[/name_f], [name_f]Corinne[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], [name_f]Sylvana[/name_f], [name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f], [name_f]Gianna[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f], [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f], [name_f]Fiona[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Astrid[/name_f], [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_f]Vashti[/name_f], [name_f]Callista[/name_f], [name_f]Corisande[/name_f], [name_f]Melisande[/name_f], [name_f]Oriana[/name_f], [name_f]Aviva[/name_f], [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f], [name_f]Penina[/name_f], [name_f]Raphaela[/name_f]/[name_f]Rafaella[/name_f], [name_f]Renata[/name_f], [name_u]Seren[/name_u], [name_f]Una[/name_f], [name_f]Zara[/name_f], [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f], [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f], [name_f]Veronica[/name_f], [name_f]Serena[/name_f], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]/[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]/[name_f]Viviana[/name_f], [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f]/[name_f]Magdalena[/name_f], [name_f]Elodie[/name_f], [name_f]Pelagia[/name_f], [name_f]Ursula[/name_f], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], [name_f]Morwenna[/name_f], [name_f]Ravenna[/name_f], [name_f]Sophronia[/name_f], [name_f]Solange[/name_f], [name_f]Sunniva[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f], [name_f]Zorina[/name_f], [name_f]Xenia[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Ann[/name_f]/[name_f]Anne[/name_f]/[name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_f]Soraya[/name_f], [name_f]Luna[/name_f], [name_f]Isolde[/name_f], [name_f]Vittoria[/name_f], [name_f]Delphine[/name_f], [name_f]Aida[/name_f], [name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f], [name_f]Viola[/name_f], Margeurite, [name_f]Zelda[/name_f], [name_f]Romilly[/name_f], [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]/[name_f]Julia[/name_f]/[name_f]Juliana[/name_f], [name_f]Junia[/name_f], [name_f]Avalon[/name_f], [name_f]Cosima[/name_f], [name_f]Valencia[/name_f], [name_f]Delia[/name_f], [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], [name_f]Sinead[/name_f], [name_f]Zuleika[/name_f], [name_f]Tanaquil[/name_f], [name_f]Susannah[/name_f], [name_f]Serena[/name_f], [name_f]Viola[/name_f], [name_f]Leonie[/name_f], [name_f]Anya[/name_f], Shenandoah, [name_u]Ember[/name_u], [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], [name_f]Niobe[/name_f]. Some of these are even my top favorites or my husband’s top favorites, so keep the ideas coming. [name_m]Even[/name_m] variations or similar names might help get us on the right track.
These are names that we have already used or are too close to names we have already used. So again, right track, great options, keep 'em coming! [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f], [name_f]Dulcinea[/name_f], [name_f]Tess[/name_f], [name_f]Evanna[/name_f]/[name_f]Evaine[/name_f]/[name_f]Yvaine[/name_f], [name_f]Cassia[/name_f]/[name_f]Cosima[/name_f]/[name_f]Catherine[/name_f]/[name_f]Corisande[/name_f]/Casilda, [name_u]Penrose[/name_u]. And these are out because they are too close to other family names: [name_f]Araminta[/name_f]/[name_f]Minnie[/name_f]/[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f], [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_f]Sariah[/name_f], [name_f]Rivkah[/name_f]. But don’t worry about repeats/overlaps. [name_m]Just[/name_m] wanted to let everybody know that there have been a LOT of really great options that just aren’t quite “it” this time. [name_m]Just[/name_m] keep throwing in your ideas and I’ll sift through them. I’m pretty impressed that thee were several names that I’d never even seen before (or variations that seem obvious now that I see them!).
