Thanks everyone!
@Victory55 - thank you - I think gem names sounds interesting - I am not a huge fan in general, and [name_f]Sapphira[/name_f] is not the best Biblical namesake, but I do love [name_f]Peridot[/name_f] and she does feel very stained-glass-y! Also love [name_f]Alexandrina[/name_f] and Aurelia/Aurelie and maybe some form of Magdalena/Maddalena/Madelina/etc. in theory. [name_f]Marcella[/name_f] is rather lovely but doesn’t feel very stained-glassy to me.
@greyblue - thank you, [name_f]Grace[/name_f]! I do rather like the idea of [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] with [name_f]Grace[/name_f] although I’m not sure I love the bold purple and red imagery I get with Scarlet(t) and [name_f]Grace[/name_f] together. I also LOVE [name_f]Kezia[/name_f] but never though of her as stained-glassy!
@OctaviaMay - the synesthesia does pose a problem, haha. I do like the idea of [name_f]Hannelore[/name_f] although I’m more fond of Hannelotte myself. I’m always pro [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] everything, it’s one of my favorite honor names. I don’t know that I’d do [name_f]Petra[/name_f] again, since [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Christiana[/name_f] is so high on my list, but I am always fond of her!
@tori101 - thanks girl! I do like a lot of these names; somehow a lot of them don’t feel super stained-glass like though? I am contemplating [name_f]Tess[/name_f] Emmanuelle/Tessa [name_f]Emmanuelle[/name_f] though. I am also fond of Pasqualina and [name_f]Shoshana[/name_f], too!
@LoneStar - thanks girl! [name_f]Grace[/name_f] was my grandma’s middle and that’s probably why it’s such a lovely deep purple for me, my grandma loved the color purple. Plus she also loved [name_m]Jesus[/name_m] and being in church so even though I wouldn’t instantly say “oh yeah she looks like stained glass” I still think she pairs great with stained-glass names (which are also rather complex and makes [name_f]Grace[/name_f] more interesting too imo!). I like Magdalena/Maddalena, [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], etc. from your list - [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] doesn’t feel too much like stained glass, but [name_f]Fiorella[/name_f] or [name_f]Fioralba[/name_f] do…
@almostactually - thanks! [name_f]Sistine[/name_f] is so fun. I don’t know that [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Sistine[/name_f] works the best but it is a really fun idea. I also adore [name_f]Perpetua[/name_f], I’ve considered [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Perpetua[/name_f] myself. [name_f]Philomena[/name_f] is also one I’ve been considering, although I’ve got [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Philou[/name_f] on my list currently. I don’t know that I’d do [name_f]Philou[/name_f] and [name_f]Philomena[/name_f].
@seawillow - thanks girl! I always love seeing the names you come with. I don’t love [name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] but I do love [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f]! [name_u]Will[/name_u] probably think about her more seriously, along with [name_f]Olivet[/name_f], [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f], [name_f]Bethlehem[/name_f], [name_f]Zipporah[/name_f], [name_f]Sybilla[/name_f], etc. I am contemplating adding [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] to my list, but if I do, I already have a combo for her (Arabella [name_f]Lilavati[/name_f] Jane).
I would love to hear any other ideas anyone has!
