Wilhelmina, nn
Billie is darling. And I love
Mariam too.
I'm so happy you like
Sylvia!
Iris Murdoch, while not a poet, fits into the literary theme nicely. I was in a store yesterday and a mother called out to her four or five year old
Iris. I smiled all the way through that store.
June Millay -- Sweet. I've always thought
Juno was beautiful. Probably not down to earth enough for you, though. I know what you mean about making the name easy for the child to live with.
Solveig Edna -- Gorgeous. But she'll have pronunciation problems, at least here in the U.S.
Gilda Millay --
Love it. I just saw
Rita Hayworth in Gild for the first time the other day.
Ingeborg Edna -- Oh.
Ottoline is not down to earth enough for you, but
Ingeborg is? The deck is stacked against me.*
Juniper Edna -- You must, you must, you must.
Love it.
Janis Edna / Millay -- A Joplin fan? Personally, I prefer the
Janice spelling. But it's not a favorite name of mine either way.
Janine Millay -- There must be a hundred ways to spell this name. I love
Jeanine, nn
Jeanie. Any chance? I suppose
Nina would also work as a nn.
* Tongue planted firmly in cheek.
