@Lovingfather thank you for sharing – it’s a sweet name and meaning! May I ask how you came up with it or reached that meaning? Is it from a particular language or culture? Just so the description can be accurate!

[name_m]Name[/name_m]: Ajonee
[name_f][/name_f]Pronunciation: a-JOH-nee
Origin: Modern / Invented name (family origin)
[name_f][/name_f]Meaning: One who is loved.
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Story[/name_f] / Background:
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]The[/name_m] name Ajonee came in a dream while waiting for our daughter, she is the 3rd pregnancy after 2 miscarriages. After researching and not finding an existing definition, we chose a spelling that matched the sound and created a meaning that reflected the moment it came to us. We believe the dream was inspired by love—love of [name_m]God[/name_m], love for our future child, and love for her mother. Because of that, we gave the name the meaning “one who is loved.”

Calligenia (f) - reminiscent of more familiar names such as [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] and [name_f]Eugenia[/name_f], this is the Latinised form of Kalligeneia, a name from Greek mythology, generally ascribed (as an epithet) to either [name_f]Gaia[/name_f] or [name_f]Demeter[/name_f]; or, alternatively, to a nymph. It is derived from the elements κάλλος (kallos) meaning “beauty”, and γενής (genes) meaning “born”; as such, it has been interpreted to mean “bearer of a fair offspring”, or (perhaps more appealingly) “producer of beautiful things”.
Seraphia (f) - a variant of [name_f]Serapia[/name_f], presumably inspired by [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f].
Séraphie (f) - French form of Seraphia (see above).
Säschu (m) - Bernese German form of [name_m]Sasha[/name_m]. From my limited knowledge of the dialect, the inferred pronunciation would be approximately ZEH-shoo. 
Ludovine (f) - this name can be interpreted in two ways: either as a relative of names such as [name_f]Ludivine[/name_f], [name_f]Ludvina[/name_f] etc., or as a feminine form of [name_m]Ludovic[/name_m] (see [name_f]Ludovie[/name_f]). In any case, it has been (very occasionally) used in French-speaking regions at least since the 19th century, when it appeared in a fairytale called Le Petit Soldat (“The Little Soldier”), where Ludovine is the name of an evil princess.

I apologise for hijacking your post (
), but I would like to add some details about this beautiful name. It is…
- the Serbian and Croatian form of [name_f]Angelia[/name_f];
- spelled Анђелија in Serbian Cyrillic, and commonly transcribed as either Anđelija or the aforementioned Andjelija;
- interestingly found in Slavic mythology, where Ćorava Anđelija is the name of a demon associated with storms and blizzards.

I came across interesting names in [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] Pope’s “Rape of the lock” (I’m sorry about the title, but this word had differet meaning in 18th century)
Characters are sylphs taking care of beautiful lady’s accesories: fan, watch, earrings and lock (I guess it may be a wig?).
Zephyretta - caretaker of the fan
Momentilla - caretaker of the watch
Brillante - caretaker of the earrings
Crispissa - caretaker of the lock
Btw those names (expect Crispissa) appear in [name_m]The[/name_m] [name_m]Sims[/name_m] 2, in Summedream family tree.
