If I understand correctly, this is the original, or an older, spelling of [name_f]Alaska[/name_f]. I think this is a stunning name, but I recognize it would likely be appropriation to use irl.

Someone on here suggested [name_f]Olivet[/name_f] to me as a middle for [name_f]Maris[/name_f] and it’s new to me, but I love it!

Also discovering the beauty of [name_f]Natalya[/name_f]. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the drop of the y, feels less prim and proper than [name_f]Natalia[/name_f], more raw.
