Trying to decide between these names. Any associations and vibes (victorian, cottagecore, etc.) you have with these names would be welcome. If you can, also try to describe what a person with the name appears like in your head.
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] is my favourite! Floral but not frilly, literary and vintage, rugged but not rough, familiar with a bit more flair than (the still lovely) [name_f]Florence[/name_f]. I imagine someone creative and determined, who chooses their words carefully, and feels connected to nature?
Association-wise, I think of [name_f]Waverley[/name_f] by [name_m]Walter[/name_m] [name_m]Scott[/name_m] (Flora MacIvor), The Turn of the Screw by [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]James[/name_m], [name_f]Scotland[/name_f] (Flora MacDonald), flowers and florists and floral prints.
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] - light, bright, lively and sweet, with sass and confidence. It reminds me of Atonement by [name_m]Ian[/name_m] MacEwan
[name_f]Sibyl[/name_f] - vintage, quirky, floral and arty. It reminds me of The Picture of [name_m]Dorian[/name_m] [name_m]Gray[/name_m]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] - sleek, sharp and stylish. It reminds me of Sylvia’s Lovers by [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] Gaskell (she gets called Sylvie)
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] - warm, elegant and friendly - sort of has a sparkly quality to it
