That’s funny; my name is Lily and my middle name is in honor of my grandma Ethel (Elizabeth, which contains all the letters of Ethel but is more timeless).

I love seeing Ursula! There are other nice ones, too.

A lot of these are beautiful, and fit in right with the vintage [name_u]Berry[/name_u] style. I suppose Bashaba could be a diminutive of [name_f]Bathsheba[/name_f]. Cloya and Dolth are intriguing. I can’t think of any name they could be derived from, except possibly [name_f]Clothilde[/name_f] and the like. There is no information on the Internet either. [name_u]Marie[/name_u] [name_f]Antoinette[/name_f] is a funny one. I have never heard of [name_f]Arminda[/name_f], [name_f]Vesta[/name_f], [name_f]Pansy[/name_f], [name_m]Tudor[/name_m] and Loveluck but they are really pretty.

Favourites would have to be [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_u]Fern[/name_u], [name_m]Leonard[/name_m] [name_u]John[/name_u] [name_u]Cecil[/name_u], [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_u]Hazel[/name_u], [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], [name_u]William[/name_u] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u], [name_f]Pansy[/name_f] [name_f]Eileen[/name_f], [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_u]Florence[/name_u], [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] and [name_f]Armina[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]. Thank you for sharing!

Ooh, I love seeing Beulah! So many of these names are gorgeous. I’ll list my fave combos:

Alice Fern
Oswald Tudor
Rufus Myer
Helen Priscilla
Helena Fanny
Emily Florence
Maude Mae
Beulah Nevada
Ruth Eugenia

And an honorable mention for this one! :flushed:

And lastly…

This is very NB. :laughing:

[name_f]Cheryl[/name_f] [name_f]Doreen[/name_f] should be there. I’m surprised there’s no [name_f]Amanda[/name_f] or [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f]
