Seconding Liline! It is also fairly commonly used as a diminutive of names ending in -line in francophone regions (in a similar way to [name_f]Lilise[/name_f] or [name_f]Fifine[/name_f]).

Quite surprised to realize today that Erato (f) isn’t in the database! [name_f]She[/name_f] is one of the nine muses in Greek mythology, specifically the muse of lyric poetry, and the name means ‘lovely’ or ‘lover’.

Ethelfleda (f) - Modern English form of Æðelflæd, an Old English name composed of the elements æðele meaning “noble” + flæd theorised to mean “beauty”. This original form* was the name of Alfred the Great’s eldest child, while Ethelfleda was occasionally revived in the 19th century alongside the similar [name_f]Ethelinda[/name_f], [name_f]Ethelwyn[/name_f] et al.
*Æðelflæd
Fantina (f) - feminine form of Fantino, a medieval Italian names with two distinct origins: on one hand, it has been used as a diminutive of Belfante, Bonfante etc. (a group of names ultimately derived from a noun meaning “infant, child”); on the other hand, it is also the Italian form of Fantinus, or Phantinos, the name of a Calabrian saint (reportedly derived from a Greek adjective meaning “visible”). Fantina has been used in popular culture as the name of a minor Pokémon character. See also the closely related [name_f]Fantine[/name_f].
Berengar (m) - Old German name derived from the elements bern “bear” and ger “spear” (see [name_f]Berengaria[/name_f]). This was the name of a number of historical figures, perhaps most notably two Kings of Italy. It still survives today in francophone regions as Bérenger or Béranger; and of course, cuddly [name_m]Bear[/name_m] would make a natural nickname! 
Flicka (f/u) - English hypocorism for several names (most commonly [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] or [name_f]Frederica[/name_f]) sometimes used independently, perhaps because it coincides with a Swedish word meaning “little girl”. Familiar through Mary O’Hara’s 1941 novel My Friend Flicka (where the name belongs to a filly) and a James Bond character; in very rare cases, it has also been adopted as a masculine nickname.[1]
Callias (m) - also transcribed as Kallias, this is an Ancient Greek name derived from κάλλος (kallos) meaning “beauty”. It was the name of several antique figures… and could perhaps make a handsome alternative to [name_m]Elias[/name_m] or [name_m]Callan[/name_m]!
One example being Franklin(e) “Flicka” Rodman Jr. (1965–1995), an American hiker killed in a November 1995 accident on the Pacific Crest Trail. ↩︎

@Sorceress sorry to have to ask, but what do you mean missed for two years? as in, is there a glitch in the entry?

actually means “wind” or “spirit” - spirit more in the team-spirit vibe than the ghost-spirit vibe 
“breath” would be [name_f]Neshama[/name_f], assuming a namer would want the more spiritual word rather than resuscitation in a foreign language (neshima)

I saw a girl online named Willamette who went by [name_f]Willa[/name_f]! I think it could also lend itself nicely to [name_f]Etta[/name_f] or [name_f]Lettie[/name_f] too
[name_m]The[/name_m] name comes from an anglicized adaptation of an indigenous Clackamas Chinook word, translating to still/quiet water

I noticed that [name_m]Vikingur[/name_m] is in the database, but the traditional Icelandic spelling Víkingur is not? It is mentioned in the [name_m]Vikingur[/name_m] entry, so it seems strange that it can’t just be added as well
