I am writing a story about a redhead girl, who is witty, sarcastic, especially kind (to the point of being sort of a pushover) but can also be a very strong and brave woman at times. I can’t seem to find a good name for her (the story is set in the late 1850s). Her last name is Van Every and she is a duchess. I don’t like the names Elizabeth (reminds me of Elizabeth I, since she was also a redhead), Beatrice (wonderful name, but i see the name Beatrice on a blonde girl, not a redhead), Emily (terribly common), Catherine (again, terribly common), Dorothy/Dorothea (reminds me of Dorothea Puente, and all the terrible things she commited), Mary (terribly common), Susan/Susannah (i just dont see the name on a redhead), Miriam (hate the name), Jane (maybe as a middle name, but terribly common), Josephine (love the name, just dont imagine it on a redhead), Margaret (terrible name), Rose (reminds me of titanic Rose)
As you can see i’m very picky and have no idea what to name her! Please give me suggestions!!
Maybe…

Freya or [name_f]Freyja[/name_f]…Norse goddess. Images of her often show her with red hair. Such a lovely name too
I immediately think of F names.
[name_f]Francine[/name_f] or [name_f]Francesca[/name_f].
Francine [name_u]Van[/name_u] [name_f]Every[/name_f]
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f] [name_u]Van[/name_u] [name_f]Every[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Van[/name_u] [name_f]Every[/name_f]
I also think [name_f]Cynthia[/name_f] [name_u]Van[/name_u] [name_f]Every[/name_f] could work or [name_f]Constance[/name_f] [name_u]Van[/name_u] [name_f]Every[/name_f].
Winifred came to my mind. [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] van [name_f]Every[/name_f]!
I like the suggestions of [name_f]Helen[/name_f] and [name_f]Agnes[/name_f].
I’ll add [name_f]Ethel[/name_f] and [name_f]Ursa[/name_f].
I always picture a girl named [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] to have red hair, so I’ll say [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]
