hello! i’m new to nameberry, so sorry if this post is a little weird/in the wrong place. i’m looking for names that have the same vibes as ethelie and viorica?
i know names can give different vibes to everyone so i’ve also got a moodboard attached - hopefully it helps in words, they give me the vibes of writing letters or reading books by a warm light with tea that went cold a while ago. it’s weird i don’t really know how that works haha, it’s just letters i guess, but they just give me such imagery. other specifications is that they’re kinda longer/have nickname options? shorter names don’t really feel the same for some reason.
sorry i don’t have any more examples, to be honest i’m posting because i couldn’t find any more even after scrolling nameberry for ages um also i don’t really mind the gender of name but i don’t know if i should then post this in name advice…? or general name discussion? but ethelie and viorica feel a bit more feminine to me, so i put it in this category - i hope that’s okay
(um i also have a question but i’m not really sure where to ask. so i hope it’s ok to include here! why do people somewhat… censor…? names? like replacing a with @ and e with 3. i see it sometimes and i assume it’s to stop the name having a hyperlink but i don’t really know why that would be undesirable)
the moodboard - i compiled it pretty quickly sorry it's a bit messy
First, just to say that people often censor names for the sake of children’s identities (where the full name and last name used) or otherwise where the poster has tried to disguise the name for their own reasons (so those replying follow suit).
Second, I love your drawings! Here is my attempt at some girls’ names that are to me, also connoted by your mood board, but I’m not familiar with the two you’ve started with so I may not quite get there:
[name_f]My[/name_f] mind waa blank for both names until I saw the moodboard. [name_f]My[/name_f] first thought when I saw it was [name_f]Hannelore[/name_f]. Hortense/Hortensia’s also a thought (I prefer Hortensia).
(the doodles are sweet. Ethelie is so cute).
@EloiseT I’ve seen people censor names of their children without the surname being involved. Then anyone who can’t see similarities between symbols/numbers and letters can’t read the name (I think most people see similarities with numbers and letters). I avoid mentioning the names of relatives altogether.
The censoring thing is usually done when talking about names, especially full names/last names or really unusual names, of real people in their life like their children or family members because it makes it so that the post and any other personal information that can be found on their account won’t come up if someone were to google the name.
Names that give me a similar vibe to Ethelie and [name_f]Viorica[/name_f]:
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f]
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
[name_f]Cornelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lavinia[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f]
[name_f]Bernadette[/name_f]
[name_f]Octavia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Francine[/name_f]
[name_f]Estella[/name_f]
This is the right board if you want suggestions of other girls names that match. If you were looking for both boy and girl suggestions then I think [name_m]General[/name_m] Discussion might be the right spot. Here’s a few boy ideas too:
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Conrad[/name_m]
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
[name_m]Wilbur[/name_m]
[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]
I’m going to give you fem leaning names, but if you want more masc or unisex names inspired by Ethelie and [name_f]Viorica[/name_f], you can post a similar post to that in those forums too

in words, they give me the vibes of writing letters or reading books by a warm light with tea that went cold a while ago. it’s weird i don’t really know how that works haha, it’s just letters i guess, but they just give me such imagery. other specifications is that they’re kinda longer/have nickname options? shorter names don’t really feel the same for some reason.
