[name_f]Augusta[/name_f]; I hear you, I tried to make mine a top ten… and was not successful. Good top nine though, [name_f]Electra[/name_f]'s been swimming in my mind since I read your girl name thread.
[name_u]Mischa[/name_u]; I think so too. These other names are, as said, only backups, I feel like she’ll be a [name_f]Morgana[/name_f]. Thanks for picking out the names!
Muffin; you’re so right, [name_f]Nefertiti[/name_f] and [name_f]Aphrodite[/name_f] sound way too similar! Good list, thanks for dividing them up!
Hoot; thanks! And may I say, I love [name_u]Tristan[/name_u]! Fabulous choice!
Rkrd; I like [name_f]Isolda[/name_f] too, but I love how elegant and snow like [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] looks without any a’s messing it up.
Bibliophile; yes, I do love [name_f]Athene[/name_f], but there are some things about her I don’t love. [name_f]Atalanta[/name_f] is on my middle list, [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] is lovely but not my style, [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f]'s been nixed, [name_f]Medea[/name_f]'s too cruel, Hippolyta’s too hippo-ish and [name_f]Antigone[/name_f]'s the name of one of my dearests friends daughter. Good suggestions though!
[name_f]Mary[/name_f]; Thank you! [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]'s more popular than I thought!
Esswei; goodie! Thanks for picking out the names!
thebandit; you don’t feel like they go with [name_f]Aphrodite[/name_f]? Only kind of?
[name_f]Tigerlily[/name_f]; I pronounce [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] ee-ZOL-duh. Thanks for going through the names like that, very helpful!!! I kind of see what you mean about Bellicent… I usually prefer [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] to [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f], but as we’re moving to [name_f]Italy[/name_f], [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] might go over better.
Rgp19; I like [name_f]Eirene[/name_f], might use it in the middle spot.
[name_u]Angel[/name_u]; yes, I thought maybe it was stupid to rule out on letter like that… [name_f]Love[/name_f] the five you picked out! Gorgeous words to go along with them too. They’re all in my top as well, along with [name_f]Hypatia[/name_f] which I see you mentioned further down. [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f], I’ve always been on the fence with this one. I kind of feel like she was treated badly. I re-read one of my favourite books a little while ago, and it kind of has a little re-telling of her romance with [name_m]Lancelot[/name_m] and it’s so beautiful and tragic. It made me rethink the person, and I’ve always loved the name. From your suggestions I love Amoretta, but moving to [name_f]Italy[/name_f] and people will see a amaretto. [name_f]Demetria[/name_f], [name_f]Boudicca[/name_f], Ishtar, [name_f]Inanna[/name_f] and [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] I do love! [name_f]Boudicca[/name_f] used to be on the list, took it off and can’t remember why… [name_f]Odette[/name_f] is pretty too, but too sweet or something. Maybe as a middle though.
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]; thanks!
[name_f]Freya[/name_f]; Thank you! I do like Scheherazade, unfortunately it’s too much for me. But her story is amazing, and I loved it so much as a child.
[name_f]Belle[/name_f]; Thanks for listing them! Bradamante was a very beautiful female knight in the Charlemagne romances, she hunted down and rescued her lover and some other people. She was seriously cool, and wild and amazing.
[name_f]Gwen[/name_f]; You posted while I posted! Thanks for making the top 6, and for the comments. [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f]'s just as gorgeous as [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f], but that doesn’t matter as a child. I wanted to be [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] and [name_f]Morgana[/name_f] and every name that was more romantic than [name_f]Agnes[/name_f]. So that was a long list ;).
