I’m a huge fan of literary names and Shakespearean names. I want to name my first daughter something meaningful and educated, but I’m not sure what. My first name is [name_f]Alice[/name_f], so that’s out. Our last name is two syllables, and British sounding. I want her middle name to be [name_f]Anne[/name_f], after my mom. Currently, I like:
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Hermia[/name_f]
[name_f]Octavia[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
If you could help me narrow it down, and/or suggest different names, I would love it.
the first one I would nix is [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. Its not that I dont like the name, but paired with [name_f]Anne[/name_f] it just becomes sooooooooooo boring.
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] is nice, however has really jumped up in popularity. I wonder how many people still think of Gone With The Wind when they hear the name.
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] I would also nix. [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f], just doesn’t have a good flow to it.
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] is such a pretty name, however I still think a lot of people will think of Twilight which might not be the best choice if you want people to think “educated”.
The other one I don’t like is [name_f]Hermia[/name_f]. But thats mainly because it reminds me of Hernia.
I like all of the other choices for you. If I had to pick a favourite, I would say [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]. But really any of the rest would work.
With [name_f]Anne[/name_f] being so classic and a two-syllable last name, I would go with [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_f]Octavia[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], or [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] as my top choices for you. That way you have a varied syllable count and it’s not too boring with classic [name_f]Anne[/name_f].
Top three would be:
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
I also like [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], but neither one give me that “[name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m]” feeling. The others I just feel don’t flow as well with [name_f]Anne[/name_f]. Good luck!
I like a lot of them but my favorites from your list are [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f].
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]! What a kick-ass woman in Much [name_f]Ado[/name_f], and [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f] sounds lovely.
My favourite is [name_f]Octavia[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f]. [name_f]Octavia[/name_f] is such an underused gem. Next choices would be [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f] and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f].
I love:
[name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f] is my pick! Not only is in [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m]'s Much [name_f]Ado[/name_f], but it is also currently literary in Divergent. So you have the old and the new, educated yet YA current. Trendy and classic.
My favorites from your list are [name_f]Octavia[/name_f] and [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f].
[name_f]Octavia[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f] or [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f] would be lovely. 
Out of your list my favorites are [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f] (but that’s boring when those names are paired together) and [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f].
