What are some FRILLY and borderline eccentric girls' names?

Girl Names

I love long and frilly names like [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Catherine[/name], [name]Victoria[/name], etc. But they are overused now and I’m looking for something fresh, long, and something with a lot of potential nicknames.

Something like

[name]Genevieve[/name] ([name]LOVE[/name], but DH vetoed)
[name]Penelope[/name] ([name]LOVE[/name], again mean DH)
[name]Josephina[/name] (Not our style)
[name]Persephone[/name] (Can’t do it)
[name]Seraphina[/name] ([name]LOVE[/name], but I have to convince the DH)

Any other suggestions? I also love names like [name]Lulu[/name], [name]Lola[/name], etc, but I’d like a longer first name.

Thanks so much for your lovely suggestions!

I think we are leaning towards doing [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]…And maybe [name]Genevieve[/name] as the first name if I can slowly convince the DH.

[name]Love[/name] [name]Adelaide[/name], [name]Emmeline[/name], and [name]Cassandra[/name]! I like [name]Eulalie[/name]…but the Eu thing just looks weird to me on paper.

Thanks for your help!
