Hello, friends! So sorry for the delay in replies – it’s been a difficult week.

@river_dweller[name_f][/name_f], thank you very much for your suggestions! I love[name_f][/name_f] the idea of [name_f]Harriett[/name_f] [name_f]Apple[/name_f] and [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_f]Honey[/name_f]. [name_f]Apple[/name_f] and [name_f]Honey[/name_f] are such wonderful, subtly-Christian word names! [name_f]Rowena[/name_f] is one that I’ve considered before, although I’m not sure about the “ween” sound? It’s definitely one to give more thought to. [name_f]Winona[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] is also beyond gorgeous. I do worry about cultural appropriation with [name_f]Winona[/name_f], though? Perhaps I’m overthinking. Thanks again!
[name_f][/name_f]@moonbeamnights[name_f][/name_f], thank you for your ideas! [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] and [name_f]Georgina[/name_f] [name_f]Dove[/name_f] are especially gorgeous. I’ve been absolutely adoring [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] after seeing her in this thread multiple times. I’m testing out [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] [name_m]Peace[/name_m] because [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] [name_f]Blessing[/name_f] is already on my long list, but [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] is also amazing. [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is really lovely. I’ve never given much consideration to [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] as I tend to prefer [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] or [name_f]Celia[/name_f], but she definitely deserves further consideration. Thank you again for your time and suggestions!
[name_f][/name_f]@hannahcarmeen[name_f][/name_f], thank you ever so much for your kind words and thoughtful suggestions! [name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_f]Linette[/name_f] is really lovely. [name_f]Linette[/name_f] with that spelling is so gorgeous – she’s definitely going on my list! Maybe even [name_f]Linette[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f]? Oh my goodness, how gorgeous! [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] is one that I’ve always adored. I constantly toddle back when forth between [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Haven[/name_f] and [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] [name_f]Haven[/name_f] on my list, but perhaps [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] truly is the winner. [name_f]Marianne[/name_f] has also been such huge crush of mine lately. I love a good “smoosh name,” and this one is actually a real name! Thanks again!
[name_f][/name_f]@Greyblue[name_f][/name_f], [name_f]Nell[/name_f], thank you so much for your time, creativity, and suggestions! I absolutely adore every single one of these ideas! [name_f]Helen[/name_f] [name_f]Wildflower[/name_f], [name_f]Amity[/name_f] [name_f]Lois[/name_f], [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] [name_f]Winsome[/name_f], [name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Liza[/name_f], [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Patience[/name_f], and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Poet[/name_f] are especially lovely. I’ve re-added [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] and [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] to my list thanks to you, and I’m heavily considering [name_f]Helen[/name_f] and [name_f]Lois[/name_f] in particularly. I love, love, love [name_f]Amity[/name_f], but for some reason I can never remember if it’s pronounced with the “aim” sound or the “am” sound, which does bother me a bit. Maybe she’s best suited for a middle? [name_f]Lois[/name_f] [name_f]Amity[/name_f] would be gorgeous. Thank you so much [name_f][/name_f] again, friend!
[name_f][/name_f]@Demoiselle[name_f][/name_f], [name_f]Wendy[/name_f], thank you ever so much for your kind words and beautiful ideas! I love [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f], [name_f]Lillie[/name_f] [name_f]Poet[/name_f], and [name_f]Nell[/name_f] [name_m]Courage[/name_m] in particular. I’ve added [name_f]Lillie[/name_f] [name_f]Olivet[/name_f] and [name_f]Maude[/name_f] [name_m]Courage[/name_m] to my “maybe” list, but I fully anticipate them to move up the ladder! [name_f]Eudora[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] is gorgeous. [name_f]Eudora[/name_f] actually used to be on my list, and I have no idea why it ever left! The [name_f]Eudora[/name_f] Welty reference is such a cool one, too. [name_f]Alma[/name_f] [name_f]Sojourner[/name_f] is a great idea – I love, love, love [name_f]Sojourner[/name_f] for a middle. Thank you again. 
@tori101[name_f][/name_f], thank you so much for your kind words and impeccable suggestions! [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] and [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] are definitely going on my list. I haven’t given much thought to [name_f]Christabel[/name_f] as a first name, but it’s beyond gorgeous and absolutely deserves consideration. [name_f]Clemency[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] and [name_f]Opal[/name_f] [name_f]Loveday[/name_f] are also phenomenal. I don’t know why I’ve never thought of [name_f]Opal[/name_f]! And I adore the idea of [name_f]Clemency[/name_f] Frances’ meaning. Thank you so much again, dear!
[name_f][/name_f]@sammaegre[name_f][/name_f], thank you so much! [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] [name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f] is so, so perfect! She’s definitely going on my list. I also love [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Miriam[/name_f], and [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] especially! I recently found a school project that I did almost twenty years ago when I was in junior high where I said that I wanted to have twin girls called [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Bethany[/name_f], so maybe this is a sign that [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] should go on my list, haha! Thank you again. All of these suggestions are so lovely and appreciated.
[name_f][/name_f]@Etymology[name_f][/name_f], all of these are ever so perfect! [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Promise[/name_f] is so lovey. For whatever reason [name_f]Iris[/name_f] has never quite spoke to me, but I’m definitely going to devote some time to trying to find a place for her on my list, because it’s truly a gorgeous name. [name_f]Marilla[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] is really lonely, too. I love the [name_f]Anne[/name_f] of [name_m]Green[/name_m] [name_m]Gables[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] reference with [name_f]Marilla[/name_f]! [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f] is also so impeccable. For some reason [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] has never been a consideration for me, which is such an oversight because she’s so me! Thank you again.
[name_f][/name_f]I believe I’m running out of tags, so I will be posting my second set of replies in a few moments!
