“Romantic Academia”

General Name Discussion
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all!

[name_f][/name_f]

In the midst of trying to overhaul my list and searching through new names I realized that “romantic academia” is the perfect phrase for my general naming style. For me this is names that are artistic and historical with touches of the natural/floral world and plenty of literary, poetic, classical, or mythic inspirations.

[name_f][/name_f]

In order to get more inspiration I decided to make a moodboard (which ended up being two) for what romantic academia feels like to me.

I’ve already started compiling some names, but I’d love to turn this description over to you all and see what amazing names you all can suggest! I’m looking for names for all genders, combos or singles, whatever you feel inspired to suggest!

Thanks in advance. :black_heart:

These moodboards are so nice, I especially like the one with the yellow background. Names I’d put to these images:
[name_f][/name_f]Izella
[name_f][/name_f]Lantana
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Bronwen[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Matisse[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Lileas[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Svetlana[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Odette[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Viveka[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]Izabetta
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Desiderata[/name_f], [name_f]Desirée[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Andarta[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f]whilst looking for [name_f]Andarta[/name_f] on another site I also came across[name_f][/name_f]

Anuthida [name_f][/name_f]- listed as Thai meaning ‘small daughter/girl’
[name_f][/name_f]Antidora- listed as ancient Greek meaning ‘against gifts’ [name_f][/name_f]- for your moodboard: only gift these girls want is the gift of knowledge, so will accept books :wink:[name_f][/name_f] :blush:
[name_f][/name_f]Andeta [name_f][/name_f]- listed as Albanian; elsewhere meaning is given as ‘by the sea’ from “Side of the sea (ana e detit)”. According to forebears, it most usage in [name_f]Ethiopia[/name_f] and Albania and is rare outside of those two countries. It’s also a surname most commonly found in [name_m]Kenya[/name_m].
[name_f][/name_f]Andetria [name_f][/name_f]- listed as a name invented from compound elements and used by African American parents. Very rare! Forebears records just 21 people named Andetria.

Although, they’re all pretty different now I’ve got past the ones that begin with co.
