I love the idea of “little black dress” names, but when I think of my own list, the image I’m overwhelmed with is akin to the line from Sound of [name_f]Music[/name_f]: “girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes”. Names like [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], and [name_f]Edith[/name_f].
Aw, this is such a cute thread! I love the Sound of [name_f]Music[/name_f]. I would add [name_u]Eloise[/name_u], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], and [name_f]Belle[/name_f], and strongly echo [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], and [name_f]Clara[/name_f].
I guess I was thinking of little white dresses with black patent leather shoes for little girls, so I thought at once of [name_f]Mary[/name_f] and [name_f]Priscilla[/name_f] and [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]. Maybe on the wrong track though.
It occurred to me while reading your names that [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Evalina[/name_f] would be absolutely beautiful! As are the rest of your ideas.
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]/[name_f]Clarissa[/name_f]
[name_f]Alexandrina[/name_f]
[name_f]Liliana[/name_f] (& any variant spelling)
[name_f]Ellissa[/name_f]
[name_f]Marguerite[/name_f] nn [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Melissa[/name_f] nn [name_f]Missy[/name_f]
[name_f]Silvie[/name_f]
[name_f]Elisabetta[/name_f]
[name_f]Katrin[/name_f]
[name_f]Alyssa[/name_f]
[name_f]Shoshanna[/name_f] (maybe…this may be a bit more dramatic than fits the category; same thing w/[name_f]Francesca[/name_f])
I apologize in advance for any repeats. I also apologize if I’m on the wrong track. I’m just picturing a little girl in a pretty white dress with a satin sash and long, pretty hair. In my mind she kind of looks like a porcelain doll brought to life so a lot of these names will probably be very porcelain-doll-like.
