Hello all 
I am on the hunt for new names, for both boys & girls! I would best describe my taste as romantic/historical/Victorian gothic, with an emphasis on the latter. Names you think would belong to children living in a haunted house, but a haunted house in 1883 (so not [name_u]Raven[/name_u], [name_u]Onyx[/name_u], etc.)
Some examples of names I like:
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Maud[/name_f]
[name_f]Leonora[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Marcella[/name_f]
[name_f]Philomena[/name_f]
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]
[name_u]Cecil[/name_u]
[name_m]Percival[/name_m]
[name_u]Laurence[/name_u]
[name_m]Alaric[/name_m]
[name_u]Constantine[/name_u]
Thank you all in advance
