Thank you everyone!
@tallemaja I love [name_f]Isadora[/name_f], [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] (but middles are so hard with this one), [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] (though I probably can’t get away with 2 prominent HP characters lol), [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f], and more. You really hit the nail on the head!
@Posielee I’ve always had a huge crush on [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] ("[name_f]Gwen[/name_f]" or “[name_f]Vera[/name_f]”) and can’t believe it’s not more popular! Hubs doesn’t like it, though
[name_f]Emeraude[/name_f] is intriguing, and I love [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f], [name_f]Primrose[/name_f], and [name_f]Sybil[/name_f]!
@Loislyn [name_f]Minerva[/name_f]! But again with the 2 HP character thing (curse you, JKR, for your giant canon of fantastically named characters). I also wonder if [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] is too prominent a mythological character? [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] and [name_m]Evander[/name_m] both have names rooted in mythology, but their origins are much more obscure than the goddess of wisdom. Also love [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f], and [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]
@hyacinthbucket As always, your suggestions are at once unexpected and fitting. I agree some work best as middles (like [name_f]Ismay[/name_f], which I’ve loved since reading a book with a main character by the name), but there are so many lovely options. I never would’ve considered [name_f]Galilea[/name_f] “[name_f]Goldie[/name_f]”. [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] is one of my favorite nicknames, and I love [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] but am not crazy about how it sounds with our surname. I also love [name_f]Viola[/name_f], [name_f]Lucasta[/name_f], [name_u]Calypso[/name_u], [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f], and [name_f]Elsinore[/name_f]
@VivienaLunelle123 [name_u]Starling[/name_u] is intriguing and could make a fantastic middle! I prefer [name_u]Sterling[/name_u] on a boy, though. [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] is one of my favorites for a middle–it has such heft! Also loving [name_f]Isis[/name_f] (if not for the terrorist group), [name_f]Soleil[/name_f], and [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]
@kachenka [name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f] is a GP for me, just because there’s only one prominent bearer that I know of (I prefer to have a mix of associations attached to a name). [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Leda[/name_f], [name_f]Titania[/name_f], [name_f]Demetria[/name_f], [name_f]Calista[/name_f], and [name_f]Delphina[/name_f] (though I actually prefer the sleeker [name_f]Delphine[/name_f])
@_thelittlefairywren You’re so sweet! Magical is about the highest compliment I could get for baby names!
@Sarah1694 I’ve always had a soft spot for [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
