Hi there! I fell in love with Amadeus and Amadea awhile back–I love how romantic, arostocratic, and musical they are. Almost like they’re dipped in gold. But the problem is, I think they’re too associated with Mozart.
So berries, what are some names in this vein? Any help would be so so appreciated (boys and girls, please).
Note: these don’t have to be Latin in origin, or start with A, or have any obvious musical or religious connotations–I’m just looking for names that have a similar feel.
Wow what lovely imagery!
Romantic Aristocrats along the vein of [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m] and [name_f]Amadea[/name_f] (which is beautiful by the way)
For me, these names fit the bill:
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Astoria[/name_f]
[name_f]Artemisia[/name_f]
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m]
[name_u]Pascale[/name_u]
[name_m]Alistair[/name_m]
[name_m]Benedict[/name_m]
[name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m]
[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]
[name_f]Valentina[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalia[/name_f]
[name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f]
All so very different but oddly cohesive.
I adore [name_f]Amadea[/name_f] and [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m]! I (like to) think I have quite a few romantic aristocrat names on my list:
[name_m]Horatio[/name_m]
[name_u]Francis[/name_u]
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
[name_m]Walter[/name_m]
[name_m]Barnaby[/name_m]
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m]
[name_m]Prosper[/name_m]
[name_m]Cecil[/name_m]
[name_m]Cyril[/name_m]
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u]
[name_m]Ernest[/name_m]
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Leopold[/name_m]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u]
[name_m]Cedric[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucian[/name_m]
[name_m]Bartholomew[/name_m]
[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_f]Flavia[/name_f]
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f]
[name_f]Verity[/name_f]
[name_f]Isadora[/name_f]
[name_f]Vienna[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f]
[name_f]Antoinette[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]/[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f]
[name_f]Sybil[/name_f]/[name_f]Sybilla[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f]
[name_f]Honoria[/name_f]
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]
[name_f]Lavinia[/name_f]
[name_f]Alexandria[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]
Maybe have a look at these too. They’re very good lists that seem to be the style you’re looking for :).
Top hats, waistcoats and taffeta gowns: elegant ladies and distinguished gentlemen. Here are the names that epitomise refined propriety. They would all feel at home lighting the stage in an Oscar Wilde play, or gracing a rural stately home. In fact,...
The Gothic revival (otherwise known as Neo-Gothic or Gothic Victorian) was one of the foremost trends of the Victorian era. Their love of medieval, classical and biblical myths and legends — coupled with the romance of the Pre-Raphaelites, gothic...

[name_m]Mozart[/name_m]'s middle name was actually [name_m]Theophilus[/name_m] but he preferred the Latin version of his name, [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m], which has the same literal meaning (Lover of God). The female version is [name_f]Theophila[/name_f] or [name_f]Theofila[/name_f].
