🌷 scarlet's best kept secrets

[AStudyIn_Scarlet]

I cannot resist a bandwagon thread ever, and this is no different. I’m giving credit to @AerieEerie for starting this! Here are a few names I have that I don’t see a lot on the forums, and may be considered ‘hidden gems’. Some of these were suggested by users on the forums and others were ones I’d found. Origins in parentheses, followed by meanings in quotation marks.
