I’m looking for vintage jazzy names, maybe a little bit french like:
[name_f]Adele[/name_f], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_f]Delia[/name_f], [name_f]Della[/name_f], [name_f]Elodie[/name_f], [name_f]Estelle[/name_f], [name_f]Leona[/name_f], [name_f]Tess[/name_f], [name_f]Willa[/name_f]
Thanks
I love a lot of these–[name_f]Adele[/name_f], [name_f]Leona[/name_f], and [name_f]Tess[/name_f] are huge favorites of mine, and I like [name_f]Della[/name_f]/[name_f]Delia[/name_f] and [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] as well!–but I wouldn’t have considered them vintage jazzy? I’m not sure what I would have called them, honestly! I think [name_f]Fleur[/name_f], [name_f]Lise[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f], [name_f]Nadia[/name_f], and [name_f]Olive[/name_f] all fit in this category, as well, though.
Good luck!

I of course immediately thought of Chicago and [name_f]Velma[/name_f] [name_u]Kelly[/name_u]. I like [name_f]Velma[/name_f] so much!
I like adele, elodie and estelle. [name_f]Adela[/name_f] is another option. However, I think cleo is fresh and suits your jazzy vibe. I agree [name_f]Velma[/name_f] works, it would be good with a modern middle name, maybe [name_f]Velma[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] or [name_f]Velma[/name_f] [name_u]Day[/name_u]. [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] is another idea…
