Rare, mythological names

I would like to build beautiful list of names. I have soft spot for mythology and this reflects my naming style. I love unusual names, but more popular and pretty names are option too. Also love old medieval names, but unusual ones, ones that makes you think of bards and princesses…

Could I hear what do you think of my lists and hear some suggestions? Combo suggestions are welcome. No need for long posts, just quick few words, but honest. :slight_smile:

Here are my list…
unusual girls names
first+middle
names I would possible use…
boy and girls names

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite names include… [name_f]Freya[/name_f], [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f], [name_f]Melody[/name_f], [name_f]Melusine[/name_f], [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Sunniva[/name_f], Briseis, [name_f]Leda[/name_f], Nimue…

Thanks in advance.

Could you see the lists? I’m asking for honest opinions, suggestions and combo suggestions for a girl.

Is there any problem? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think I have too big list or something isn’t clear form my post? You can still comment my list.

I’m not sure why you’re not getting any replies yet, but I know from experience that threads about rare names tend to get less traffic, which means patience is key. ^^ maybe put up a link to this thread in you rsignature would help? Perhaps also writing the names rather than linking to you lists.
I love mythological names as well, it’s great to see Nimue and Briseis on your lists, two favourites I find I don’t share with many :slight_smile:
Most of the names on your list are names I love, but there are some where I love a similar name more.
I prefer [name_f]Romola[/name_f] over [name_f]Romilly[/name_f], [name_f]Bryony[/name_f] over [name_f]Briony[/name_f], [name_f]Calixta[/name_f] over [name_f]Callisto[/name_f], Morgause over [name_f]Morgana[/name_f], [name_f]Marcella[/name_f] over [name_f]Mariella[/name_f] and [name_f]Amabel[/name_f] over [name_f]Amoret[/name_f].
The only names I’m not too fond of are [name_f]Avalon[/name_f] and [name_f]Novella[/name_f]. [name_f]Novella[/name_f] is just a short novel to me, and [name_f]Avalon[/name_f] seems to be a go-to magical name so it seems less magical.

Suggestions:
Rixende
[name_f]Niobe[/name_f]
[name_f]Isolde[/name_f]
Everild
[name_f]Mireia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lileas[/name_f]
[name_f]Eulalie[/name_f]/[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f]
[name_f]Arianwen[/name_f]
[name_f]Olivine[/name_f]
[name_f]Phaedra[/name_f]
Roswitha
[name_f]Sabine[/name_f]
Somerilda
[name_f]Thalassa[/name_f]
[name_f]Theophanie[/name_f]
[name_u]Valentine[/name_u]
[name_f]Isabeau[/name_f]
[name_f]Zosia[/name_f]/Zosime
[name_f]Amadea[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariadne[/name_f]
[name_f]Bluma[/name_f]
Deianira
[name_f]Dulcinea[/name_f]
[name_f]Emiliana[/name_f]
Elsinore
[name_f]Frostine[/name_f]
[name_f]Junia[/name_f]

Please let me know which ones you like, and perhaps why so I can potentially suggest more!

I’m not good on combo suggestions, I’m also a little unclear on which list you want me to suggest combos for. Your own list has such beautiful combinations already, and I don’t know yet which names from my suggestions you actually like.
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites of your combos would be:
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] Nimue
[name_f]Leda[/name_f] [name_f]Melusine[/name_f]
[name_f]Elena[/name_f] [name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Briony[/name_f] (Although this seems a little less magical than the others. Vintage, not mythological)

Thanks dearest, I like Everild (but I always confuse this with Everlid), [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] (but I prefer [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] as a boy name and I can’t have both), [name_f]Lileas[/name_f], [name_f]Olivine[/name_f], [name_f]Dulcinea[/name_f] (but it’s like copying the other member) and [name_f]Junia[/name_f], but I don’t really like J letter.
I’m glad you like so many names form my list…

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] Sorceress, it can be frustrating when nobody comments on the mythological magical names. I love them, but didn’t see this post. They get pushed down to the bottom very quickly, especially in the girls section.

Let’s see. [name_f]My[/name_f] favorites from your girls side are

[name_f]Briony[/name_f]
[name_f]Leontine[/name_f]
[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f]
[name_f]Morgana[/name_f]
[name_f]Cosima[/name_f]
[name_f]Sunniva[/name_f]
Briseis
[name_f]Avalon[/name_f]
[name_f]Amoret[/name_f]
[name_f]Callisto[/name_f]
Nimue
[name_f]Leda[/name_f] (though I’d never use it because the myth sort of squicks me out!)
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
[name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f]
[name_f]Novalie[/name_f] (this is a guilty pleasure of mine)

On the boys my faves are:

[name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m]
[name_m]Gilbert[/name_m]
[name_m]Rainier[/name_m]
[name_u]Zephyr[/name_u]
Wulfric
[name_m]Sylvan[/name_m]
[name_m]Desmond[/name_m]

I don’t know Elisot and I’m not sure if it’s male or female. I like most of the other names, too, they’re just not favorites.

[name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Melusine[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Melusine[/name_f]
[name_f]Elena[/name_f] [name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosaline[/name_f] [name_f]Amoret[/name_f]

are my favorite combos, I like those a lot! Are you looking for name combos and more suggestions? I’m not sure how rare and mythological you like them. I think I have some free time tomorrow and can come back. I have hundreds of rare/historical/mythological names on my list, some crazier than others. I have an enormous private list on NB I’ve been considering making public. Maybe I’ll clean it up some and link it to you and you can let me know if you like any. For now you might like a few from my bohemian girl list, here.

Thanks Redwoodfey… I like lot of names on that list… [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f], [name_f]Atalanta[/name_f], Belphoebe, [name_f]Celestia[/name_f], Clarimond, [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_f]Clothilde[/name_f], [name_f]Desdemona[/name_f], [name_f]Drusilla[/name_f], [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], [name_f]Eos[/name_f], [name_f]Eowyn[/name_f], Gwenllian (but don’t like correct pronunciation), [name_f]Noor[/name_f] (it’s Arabic name, I’m worried I would bring problems with this name), [name_f]Olwen[/name_f], [name_f]Ondine[/name_f], [name_f]Psyche[/name_f] (same problems with [name_f]Noor[/name_f])… and names that are already on my signature.

Thank you so much, this was more than helpful…

I knew a [name_f]Noor[/name_f] when I was little, the only issue she had was getting people to pronounce it correctly Nuwer rather than [name_f]Noor[/name_f] rhyming with door.

I love are [name_f]Persephone[/name_f], [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] and [name_u]Artemis[/name_u].

I also like [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] and [name_f]Morgana[/name_f].
