Searching for names that are regal, dramatic, powerful, and conjure up an image of a beautiful yet devious medieval noblewoman. The imagery for these names should be one of grand castles surrounded by a drawbridge and a moat, extravagant cathedrals with high arched ceilings, walls of colorful stained glass, embroidered gowns of silk, brocade, and damask trimmed with furs and ermine, gothic jewelry, paintings with rich colors and classical figures, court intrigue, schemes to bring down a courtier, machiavellian plotting, elaborate masquerades, balls, and pageants with music, dancing, and feasts.
For what it’s worth, I think [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f], [name_f]Isolde[/name_f], and [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] are somewhat soft sounding but still fit your theme very well!
[name_f]May[/name_f] I just express that I adore this aesthetic and the imagery you have conjured up ? You’re a genius with words. I may return later with more ideas, but Jocosa immediately came to mind for me. It’s medieval [name_f]English[/name_f], and means “merry, playful”, which isn’t quite as devious, but still sounds regal and dramatic in my humble opinion and I do love it so. I’d also love to add off the top of my head …
I second the suggestions of [name_f]Thomasina[/name_f], [name_f]Helisent[/name_f], , [name_f]Berengaria[/name_f], Jocosa, [name_f]Xanthippe[/name_f], [name_f]Titania[/name_f], and [name_f]Hannelore[/name_f]!
