From the brilliant [name_m]Doctor[/name_m] Who:

The [name_m]Doctor[/name_m]: What’s your name?
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]: [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] Pond
The [name_m]Doctor[/name_m]: Ohh, that’s a brilliant name. [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] Ponnnd. Like a name in a fairytale. Are we in [name_f]Scotland[/name_f], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]?

I really adore the mix of classic – even old-fashioned – names with nature/word/whimsical names. My own shortlist contains many such mixtures. So, just for fun, I tried to come up with one for each letter of the alphabet.

Now it’s your turn! Pick one classic or medieval name and try to create a beautiful flow with a word/nature-inspired name. Doesn’t really matter which comes first. I’d love to hear as many letters as you can come up with, for girls OR boys.
