I’ve realized over the years that so many of my favorite names come from the [name_f]Anne[/name_f] of [name_u]Green[/name_u] Gables books. Consider my two unborn children, [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] and [name_u]Owen[/name_u] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_m]Russell[/name_m]. While [name_f]Marjorie[/name_f] and [name_u]Michael[/name_u] honor my loved ones (grandmother and husband), [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_u]Owen[/name_u], and [name_m]Russell[/name_m] are all “[name_f]Anne[/name_f]” names.
Curious which female names folks love from the series. [name_f]Marilla[/name_f], Avonlea, and [name_f]Muriel[/name_f] are three of my favorites.
[name_f]Diana[/name_f] was my favourite character in the books, and I love her name and her sister’s name ([name_f]Minnie[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f]!!), but here are some other favourites:
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_u]Josie[/name_u] (terrible character though)
[name_f]Rachel[/name_f]
I know what you mean about [name_u]Josie[/name_u]! I don’t care for it myself, but I do confess a sneaking love for her sister’s name, [name_f]Gertie[/name_f].
I named my daughter [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] because of [name_f]Anne[/name_f] <3
I love Charlotte and Elizabeth and Diana. And have a sneaky soft spot for Gilbert although don’t think I’d use it… I also like Jane - probably as a middle.
It hit me that my own name is in the [name_f]Anne[/name_f] books too – [name_u]Leslie[/name_u] [name_m]Moore[/name_m], later [name_m]Ford[/name_m]. Though I must confess that I don’t have her show-stopping looks.
My grandmother bought me the [name_f]Anne[/name_f] of [name_u]Green[/name_u] Gables series and if I don’t get to use her name as an honour name then I would love to use [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]. It was always a gorgeous name to me, and, let’s face it, [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] was an awesome character. Some other names I fell in love with while reading the books: [name_f]Philippa[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Hester[/name_f] (as well as [name_u]Gray[/name_u]), and [name_f]Lavender[/name_f].
I love [name_f]Anne[/name_f] of [name_u]Green[/name_u] Gables!!! I haven’t read the books though, I’ve only seen the movies. My favourite names are [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Katherine[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f] and [name_f]Tillie[/name_f].
