This is a good idea! I like Jack, Noah, Emma, Mateo, Mia, Leo, Kai, Ayla, Theodore and Isabella best.
I never thought of William as a plant name, but now you mention it I like that association!
Gianna's not a "modern English" name, is it? A "modern English" name to me would be like Nevaeh.
I personally don’t consider names used before 1970 as modern.
As an English name, I suppose the usage is modern. It is classic as an Italian name. I'm mostly just going by how they're labled
Why is William listed as a plant name?
Sweet William, is a species of flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae, native to southern Europe and parts of Asia.
