[name]Hi[/name] everyone!
I’m looking for names that are from fairy tales, but are still usable for a baby/child/woman. Or names from literature, that aren’t well known.
My list;
[name]Romola[/name]
[name]Melusine[/name]
[name]Lorelei[/name]
[name]Lyra[/name] (Pullman series)
[name]Portia[/name]
I’m stumped!
(No need to iterate the Disney princesses, though)
I always loved Jorinda from Grimm’s “Jorinda and Joringel” about a sister and brother.
From literature…
[name]Perdita[/name] (A [name]Winter[/name]'s Tale) by [name]Shakespeare[/name]; I’ve always pn it “per-[name]DEE[/name]-tah,” but heard it pn as “[name]PER[/name]-dih-tah” on the audio version of the fourth Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants book, but I don’t like that pn at all!)
If we’re going with a name that most people think means “pig”, then “lost” isn’t that bad! I do love A [name]Winter[/name]'s Tale!
[name]Fairy[/name] tale names? Or mythology names? I’ve always loved [name]Olwen[/name], from Welsh tales. I also love [name]Gerda[/name], from the [name]Snow[/name] [name]Queen[/name] (and it was also my grandmother’s name) and [name]Solveig[/name], from Norse tales. My favourite European/Grimm tale was [name]Snow[/name] White and [name]Rose[/name] [name]Red[/name], but I guess you could go with [name]Neve[/name] for [name]Snow[/name].
