Girl Names

Hi! I’m just collecting, looking for uncommon girl’s names with history. I’d like suggestions that somewhat match the vibes of my current list. Examples:

Mathilde
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f]
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_u]Endellion[/name_u]
[name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f]Verity[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleftheria[/name_f]
[name_f]Ignatia[/name_f]
[name_f]Nimue[/name_f]
[name_f]Opal[/name_f]

and so on. As you see, it’s mainly vintage names with some wildcards tossed in. What I’d love are suggestions for names that have a similar feel but are much less known. The more obscure the better! Thanks to anyone who helps me out here!

Theodora is my favourite girls name. She ruled as an equal to her husband [name_m]Justinian[/name_m] 1 in the 6th century. I think it would suit your list?

[name_f]Birgitta[/name_f]
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] (pronunced as LOV-isa)

Ooh I love [name_f]Nimue[/name_f]! I hardly ever see it- I read it in a [name_m]King[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] book back in middle school and it stuck with me.
