So many great additions! Thank you, Grace—and my apologies for the badly-timed post, this was meant to be sent yesterday. :sweat_smile:

Myskia (f) - a medieval Scandinavian name that balances adorable sounds and Gothic imagery thanks to its unusual meaning: “bat” (from Old Swedish). Though etymologically unrelated, it may also bring to mind the more familiar [name_f]Saskia[/name_f]. :slightly_smiling_face:

Winigard (f) - a Germanic name for all the [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] lovers out there! It is derived from Old High German elements wini (meaning “friend”), and gart (meaning “enclosure, yard”). Variant forms include Winegarde, Winegardis and Wingard.

Iselota (f) - highly unusual yet similar in feel to [name_f]Isabella[/name_f], [name_f]Liselotte[/name_f] et al., this is an obscure medieval English name theorised to be a diminutive of [name_f]Isolda[/name_f] (via the Latinised form Iseldis).

Margeria (f) - Judeo-Anglo-Norman form of [name_f]Margery[/name_f]. Not used much since medieval times, it could still be seen as an intriguing alternative to its more well-known cousin.

I know we have [name_f]Sojourner[/name_f], but I saw someone on Instagram make a combo with Sojourn[name_f][/name_f] and I feel like it could be a cool name to have!

Marenza[name_f][/name_f] (g) – Italian surname from the Campania region, thought to derive from the Latin word for bitter or sour (marens); has some use as a first name but not common – could be a nice alternative to [name_f]Marenna[/name_f], [name_f]Makenna[/name_f], [name_f]Mara[/name_f], or [name_f]Meredith[/name_f].

Hiles[name_f][/name_f] (m) – sometimes alternatively spelled Hyles, this is an old [name_m]English[/name_m] surname name, most commonly means a person living on or by a mound/hill. Could be a lovely alternative to [name_m]Harris[/name_m] or [name_m]Miles[/name_m]!

Cleophea (f) - feminine form of [name_m]Cleophas[/name_m] (see [name_f]Cleophee[/name_f]). Interestingly, this rare name has not one but two artistic associations through Cleophea Lutz (the mother of Swiss-born Austrian painter An­gel­ica Kauff­man, one of only two female painters among the founding members of the Royal Academy of Art in London) and Cleophea Holzhalb (the subject of a 1538 painting by Swiss painter Hans Asper).

Lieselore (f) - a beautiful German compound name combining [name_f]Liese[/name_f]/[name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Lore[/name_f]/[name_f]Eleonore[/name_f].

Cosmaele and Cosmael (m) - the former is a medieval Italian name theorised to be a form of [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] (the -ele suffix may indicate that it originated as a dialectal variant, or even as a combination of the aforementioned name with another one such as [name_m]Raffaele[/name_m] or [name_m]Michele[/name_m]), most prevalent in 14th century Genoa; while the latter is a closely related variant of the same name, and possibly the more internationally appealing of the two?
