Hidden Gems Like These

General Name Discussion
1

Hi guys!! I’m trying to expand my list (I’m kind of picky with what stays on my list) and I am looking for a very particular niche of names. I’ll explain below.

Some examples:
Marguerite
Posey
Rosalind
Celine
Hilde
Angelica
Meridian
Hettie / Hattie
Gemma
Millicent
Elva

How I’d describe: vintage/off the beaten path (but familiar) gems hidden in plain sight? We hear Margot and Margaret often but the charming Marguerite was right under my nose!! Does that make any sense?

The only boy example I have is Homer!

Give me everything you got!!
