[name_f]Lovely[/name_f] names! I imagine a girl/woman wearing a flowy white dress, standing in a garden or field.

All of the names have a lovely airy quality to them, light and elegant with a hint of spunkiness and fire.

[name_f]Alodia[/name_f] - lively, whimsical, full of grace. she loves music, and plays both the piano and violin.
[name_f]Apolline[/name_f] - a strong, fierce warrior. Like an Amazon living in [name_f]Themyscira[/name_f], or a powerful goddess in a fantasy movie!
[name_f]Cosima[/name_f] - magical and enchanting. has drawn on freckles in the shape of stars across her cheeks and nose.
[name_f]Estella[/name_f] - older and wise. has great stories to tell.

[name_f]Viola[/name_f] - spunky, cool, and adventurous. strong, brave, protective over other people. I think of both [name_f]Viola[/name_f] from She’s the [name_u]Man[/name_u] and [name_f]Viola[/name_f] from The Haunting of [name_m]Bly[/name_m] Manor!
