Lilyquist? that is a beautiful name!! my favorite old names are [name]Mabel[/name], [name]Marjorie[/name], [name]Betty[/name], [name]Jean[/name], and [name]Gertrude[/name].

3

Lillyquist unusual right? I think it was actually one of the surnames very unique, definitely a different take on [name]Lily[/name] /[name]Elizabeth[/name]. Am actually starting to love the name [name]Mabel[/name] :slight_smile:

On the wing of my grandmother’s nursing home, I’ve seen Zubie and Orilillian. I’d love to know the stories behind those names.

5

Zubie! I’d love to know the origins of that name. I actually think I like it :slight_smile:

6

I love [name]Ione[/name]!
[name]Vernon[/name] is kind of growing on me. I think it would make a great mn.
[name]Saby[/name] seems like it could be a really cute nn for [name]Sabrina[/name] or [name]Sabine[/name].
[name]Clarence[/name] is a family name.
[name]Cleo[/name] - my grandma has a nice older gentlmen who is her neighbor with this name. He’s the nicest man ever.
[name]Marion[/name] [name]Taylor[/name] sounds Old Hollywood.
[name]Ralph[/name] was my husbands grandfathers name. Neither of us like it enough to use for a son. I like [name]Rafe[/name] though he does not.
[name]Walter[/name] [name]Wolfe[/name], I really like this one a lot.
[name]Odin[/name], I love this name.
[name]Vivian[/name], super pretty.

I would also say that Lillyquist on your list is a surname. It appears to be a variant of the Swedish surname Lillquist, meaning “little twig.” Quist (meaning “twig,” along with qvist and kvist) is a suffix found on a number of Swedish surnames.
