Poetic Girl Names

[GreenEyes375]

I’ve been gathering lists of names for years. This is one of my favourite “themes”, larely inspired by The Faerie Queene by [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_u]Spencer[/name_u]. Like the title says, these are (imo) names from epics or poems (or names that feel like they could be) that have a very romantic, Medieval/Arthurian feel to them. I have exhausted all of the resources I have been able to find, and I am looking for more additions for this list. [name_m]Feel[/name_m] free to add suggestions, or just comments. I’ll list the names I already have on my list down below. Thanks in advance!

The first one that came to mind was [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] (from annabel [name_u]Lee[/name_u]!)!

[Sorceress]

thank you for sharing <3

[rosepip]

The venn diagram of your list and my list is a circle.

[ceryle]

OK, wow, what a list! Sooo many cool and beautiful names.

I might suggest these two:

[name_m]Cymbeline[/name_m] – I realize this is a male character in [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m], but the name has always seemed feminine to me
Luthien

I also made a medieval names list pulled from all sorts of places—you might find more you like in there: Medieval Names for a Modern Baby | Nameberry

Some from that list that seem to fit the tone here:

[name_f]Argenta[/name_f]
Clariandra
[name_f]Eluned[/name_f]
Eluret
Estrelda
Evelune
[name_f]Gwenore[/name_f]
[name_f]Ingaret[/name_f]

Saidra
[name_f]Sylvestra[/name_f]
