[name_f]Emmanuelle[/name_f], [name_f]Emiliana[/name_f], [name_f]Artemisia[/name_f]
At the moment, the name that fits the bill the best to my ear is Alessandria (al-less-sahn-[name_f]DREE[/name_f]-ah).
Short name would be [name_f]Eve[/name_f]/[name_f]Eva[/name_f], simple, classic, elegant and timeless.
[name_m]Long[/name_m] name…Nefertari, the epitome a strength and a regal elegance
By sound these come to mind:
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Celine[/name_f]
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Seraphine[/name_f]
[name_f]Valentina[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Yvonne[/name_f]
But I agree… something about [name_f]Eve[/name_f] is just perfect in its striking simplicity
Another vote for [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], haha!
Names that come to mind are [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_f]Elianne[/name_f], [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] and [name_f]Annaliese[/name_f]!
The biased answer would be [name_f]Violet[/name_f]; sweet & feminine yet spunky at the same it. I think it suits many personalities and ages well.
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] is the other name that comes to mind. I’d never considered it before joining this site and it’s one of the a few name names that made me go “WOW” It’s so elegant looking and sounding.
Others; [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], [name_f]Odette[/name_f], Esmée, [name_f]Felicity[/name_f].
This is so tough for me! I have to agree that as far as short names go, [name_f]Eve[/name_f] is top notch in the elegance department.
Others for me :
[name_f]Odette[/name_f]
[name_f]Jessamine[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliette[/name_f]
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Annaliese[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Helen[/name_f]/[name_f]Helene[/name_f]/[name_f]Helena[/name_f]
[name_f]Elaine[/name_f]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Diana[/name_f]
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Allegra[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]
I think names that are long and flow with alot of vowels are the most elegant to my ear. The first to come to mind was [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]. [name_f]Elliana[/name_f] is also one of the first that came to mind.
Others that come to mind
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ilaria[/name_f]
[name_f]Alessia[/name_f]
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliora[/name_f]
For me it would probably be [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]. It’s a name with a lot of history, distinctly feminine and has a power and elegance to it.
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f]! [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] is sweet and delicate sounding but has strong undertone to it :).
I have a new name crush with the name [name_f]Calliope[/name_f]. I think it sounds so beautiful and majestic.

[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
