[name_m]Hi[/name_m], please suggest some names that are slightly old-fashioned, with a vintage vibe, but still packed with some clunky spunk! (Think Eudoria, [name_f]Euphemia[/name_f] and Sybilla)
Thank you all so much!

@EdgeOfTheMeadow Oh, this is such a gorgeous list! I rather like [name_f]Imelda[/name_f], it’s very pretty to pronounce 
. I’m absolutely loving every single name on your list, though I want to highlight [name_f]Fredericka[/name_f] here as I’ve just decided to put it in my UC (Frederica spelling). [name_f]Alfrida[/name_f], [name_f]Alcina[/name_f], [name_f]Muriell[/name_f], Mafalda,Elestren, [name_f]Demelza[/name_f], [name_f]Hestia[/name_f], [name_f]Agnella[/name_f], [name_f]Nelida[/name_f], [name_f]Lettice[/name_f], [name_f]Hephzibah[/name_f] and [name_f]Resel[/name_f] caught my eye immediately, and [name_f]Gwenllian[/name_f] is already in my short list :). Thank you so much!
