I’m looking for some more unusual names to add to my list, but I’m not 100% sure where to turn.
I like frillier choices like [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f], but I also like strong ones, such as [name_f]Hermione[/name_f], and diminutives like [name_f]Carrie[/name_f] and [name_f]Bessie[/name_f].
[name_f]My[/name_f] style is very much vintage, so vintage suggestions would be fantastic 
Thanks!
[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Araminta[/name_f]? It’s an eighteenth century gem invented by a playwright (according to NB). You may also like [name_f]Aminta[/name_f].

[name_m]How[/name_m] about
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f]
[name_f]Lavinia[/name_f]
[name_f]Letitia[/name_f]
[name_f]Gloria[/name_f] is my favorite vintage name
I saw that you like [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], have you ever considered [name_f]Amelina[/name_f]? It’s apparently an older name, which I think is kind of cool, and goes well with some of the new old favorites like [name_f]Adelina[/name_f], which have been getting more traction of late. I also like [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] and [name_f]Margery[/name_f], which I think of as pretty vintage, and [name_f]Carlotta[/name_f].
[name_f]Emerald[/name_f]

Sorry the list is so long- I got carried away. Most of these are from the top 1000 of Victorian [name_f]England[/name_f].
I just read a book about an heiress named Huguette… pronounced oo-GET. I literally wrinkled my nose at the name at first, but by the end of the book I was in love with it.
[name_f]Ethel[/name_f], mabel or [name_f]Maude[/name_f] are my favourite.
I work at a historic house museum. The women who built and lived in it were:
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Ursula[/name_f]
[name_m]Melville[/name_m] Hollingsworth
Kula (pronounced Cullie, it means pretty bird)
[name_f]Virginia[/name_f]
[name_f]Iantha[/name_f]
Sorry I neglected the thread for a while!
