I know I’ve posted a lot today but I just wanted to pop down 2 names that I found today that I love, but aren’t on Nameberry incase any of you like them too.

Japonica
This is the common name for the flowers of the Quince shrub which is native to Japan.
Pemberley
Pride and Prejudice fans will recall this is the name of Darcy’s country estate.

Rosalva - the Italian “white rose”. Here on nameberry we more commonly see [name_f]Rosalba[/name_f]
Madalina - Romanian variation on the [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] family of names. On nameberry there is [name_f]Maddalena[/name_f] and [name_f]Madalena[/name_f] which would be sound alikes
Madlaina - Swiss Romansh variant of the [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] family, as a result most popular in Switzerland

I love Madalina and Madlaina, they’re a lot more me than the classic [name_f]Madeline[/name_f].

In elementary school I knew a boy called Saum, and I don’t think that’s on nameberry. It’s pronounced like [name_m]Psalm[/name_m].

From what you posted I do love Pemberley!
Japonica is pretty and noticeable but not something I would name a kid

FYI, there is a thread for this called “What names have we missed?”
There’s heaps of non-English ones that aren’t on here.

[name_u]New[/name_u] one: Uolo. I’ve only seen it written in text so not sure how it’s pronounced. But I saw this in a family tree and found it interesting.
