Names you’ve heard people say/tell you about that made you go “Oh my, what a pretty name!”
It could be names you’ve overheard, names of people you’ve been introduced to, names on here, etc. [name_m]You[/name_m] may have even loved it so much that you added it to one of the very top spots on your list and also like to think of variations of it and middle names for it.
[name_m]Irl[/name_m], when I met a lady named [name_f]Catalina[/name_f] and read birth announcement for baby [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] last year. Such beautiful names.
[name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] in real life. [name_m]Rune[/name_m] and [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] on nameberry.
[name_f]Dulcie[/name_f] (with the Doul-sey pronounciation) and Lacey!! My sister also loves “princess” style names, and she recently said something about [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]. It’s a long time favourite but it caught me off guard and I loved hearing it!
[name_f]Winslie[/name_f] on nameberry!! It’s the perfect mix of [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] and Paislie!!
There are truly so many I have encountered for the first time on nameberry and had this reaction, that I couldn’t list them all 
but irl…have recently encountered or heard about an Amarie, Cerian (KERI-an), and Seraphina all of which I think are lovely; and Rosalba, Tansy, and Zélie are names I remember hearing for the first time on tv shows and thinking they were so pretty!
Too many, hence my long collection of names.
But to share a few (and for a range of styles)
Willa*
Zélie
Reeva (this week met a little Reeva)+
Phaedra
Kinvara
Mairéad
Lilouenn
Morgana*
Guinevere*
Evangeline*

Basically all the names on this thread 
I met a baby named [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] (little sister to [name_m]Damian[/name_m]) and I thought those were the absolute coolest names, especially as a sibset.
And recently I met a little girl named Citra or Sitra?? - totally guessing what the spelling might be but it sounded SO pretty.
