Amazing list - they’re all so magical! To be quick I’ll just give feedback on the ones I love…
[name_u]Lake[/name_u] - I don’t know why this has appealed to me recently. I read that [name_f]Lakesha[/name_f] was originally an ancient [name_u]North[/name_u] African name pronounced ‘‘layk-sha’’ and I just fell in love with the [name_u]Lake[/name_u]- part. [name_m]Just[/name_m] a GP though, a bit too hippy for my tastes as lovely as it is.
[name_f]Bunny[/name_f] - another GP! Haha, you might hear that a lot. It’s an adorable name but I think the Playboy connotation is too strong, I couldn’t do that to my daughter.
[name_f]Ursula[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] this, so magical and underused. nn [name_f]Sula[/name_f] is adorable
[name_f]Thyme[/name_f] - I love how Earthy this is, it reminds me of the song [name_m]Wild[/name_m] Mountain [name_f]Thyme[/name_f] which breaks my heart.
[name_f]Sixtine[/name_f] - [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] THIS! Another major guilty pleasure, it’s been on my list since I heard it on a thread a few months ago (baby’s dad was [name_m]French[/name_m] I think). It’s absolutely beautiful but I couldn’t use it outside of [name_f]France[/name_f] because of the sixteen thing.
[name_f]Alida[/name_f] - never heard this but it’s beautiful.
[name_f]Nancy[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Nancy[/name_f], it’s a family name for me but sadly too popular in the UK now (about #100 I think)
[name_f]Kirsty[/name_f] - So cute and Irish. It feels so homely and happy.
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] - Another family name, I adore [name_f]Agnes[/name_f].
[name_u]Laney[/name_u] - I like this a lot but it’s not really my style, usually. I have a weird love of [name_u]Delaney[/name_u] (and [name_u]Tierney[/name_u]) too.
[name_f]Posey[/name_f] - So pretty with lovely imagery.
[name_f]Deirdre[/name_f] - Again, so Irish and brilliant. Really underused.
[name_u]Genesis[/name_u] - Not my style but I secretly really like this for some reason. I like a lot of religious but Biblical people for some reason.
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] - Favourite of mine, I love it.
[name_f]Constance[/name_f] - Same as [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]. [name_f]Constance[/name_f] is gorgeous.
[name_f]Betsan[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] this. It feels amazingly Scottish to me.
[name_u]Haven[/name_u] - See [name_u]Genesis[/name_u].
[name_f]Enid[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] this for [name_f]Enid[/name_f] Blyton, really sweet.
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] - [name_f]My[/name_f] cousin’s name, I didn’t like it at first but it’s been growing on me.
[name_f]Lotus[/name_f] - so pretty but sadly a GP for me.
[name_f]Penthia[/name_f] - I love all [name_u]Pen[/name_u]- names, they sound so Cornish and magical. [name_u]Penrose[/name_u] is another fave.
[name_f]Lavender[/name_f] - gorgeous, but a GP for me.
[name_f]Leanna[/name_f] - I just love how this looks for some reason. It’s fairly dated and overused but this spelling lightens it a bit.
[name_f]Fay[/name_f] - Again, so magical. It reminds me of looking for fairies as a child.
[name_f]Kitty[/name_f] - Adorable, used quite a lot in the UK so I don’t think I’d ever use it.
Fiara - [name_f]Lovely[/name_f]. Never heard of this but much prefer it to [name_f]Fiona[/name_f].
[name_f]Tamar[/name_f] - Not my thing but I love how this sounds.
[name_f]Cressida[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] the [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m] reference, it reminds me of the ocean.
[name_f]Maple[/name_f] - I actually had a dream about this and started liking it. But I really do.
[name_f]Megan[/name_f] - Overused and slightly dated but I still love this, mainly for nn [name_f]Meg[/name_f].
[name_f]Anabel[/name_f] - [name_f]Lovely[/name_f], probably my favourite spelling. It feels timeless and worldly.
[name_u]LOVE[/name_u]
[name_f]Sixtine[/name_f] - This is a guilty pleasure name for me. I’d only ever use it in the middle spot though.
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] - gorgeous!
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] - one of my all time favourites!
[name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] - lovely, but only if you live in an area where people would know how to pronounce it
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f]
[name_f]Cressida[/name_f]
