HelpGodelieve
This particular GP of mine has really been catching my attention lately. I find it to be quite elegant and alluring, and it reminds me of Godiva so it's very chocolatey. I also like the meaning. I don't know what to do with it though. What kind of name do you think it would pair with well? I'm thinking like Octavia-esque. I'm mainly looking for middle names, but first names would be alright too.

Gott in himmel -- that's a really great name. Wow! I've never heard of it before. It's elegant and quirky at the same time. Mesmerizing.

You're my hero!
Oh! I will ponder:
Godelieve Hannelore - I've been digging Hannelore lately, but I never thought to combine them!
Godelieve Melusine - I'm interested. Is it mel-oo-SEEN?
Godelieve Odile / Ottilia / Ottilie / Ottoline - I tried out Ottoline, but didn't like how the -ode- and otto- sounds matched up. But Odile or Ottilie? Hmmmm.
Godelieve Edwige - :D Oh, Edwige! How could I have forgotten you? They're so wonderful together! I think this one wins!
Godelieve Clothilde - I tried this one out too, but thought it was a bit too cumbersome on the tongue for my liking.
Godelieve Wilhelmina / Wilhelmine - I never thought of this one either. Nice.
Godelieve Margot - I like the sound, but Godelieve eats Margot in a combo.
Godelieve Concordia - very cool
Godelieve Honoria - has the same problem as Margot
Godelieve Minerva - interesting. It puts kind of a dark twist to it. So do Drusilla and Prunella, really.
Godelieve Scholastica - that is most excellent
Oh wow, I can scarcely contain the namenerdiness. Thanks! :)

Melusine
Thanks! Glad you liked them. I should thank you for the opportunity to let rip. :-)
Melusine I first heard in the German pronunciation, "mel-oo-SEE-neh." One of George I of England's Hanoverian mistresses was named "Ehrengard Melusine von der Schulenburg." Is that great or what?!
But generally it is pronounced, "mel-oo-SEEN," yes. There aren't many German folklore / mythical names. It's good to air her out once and a while. She's usually overshadowed by Lorelei.

Sorry, I can't think of any names to pair it with. I just wanted to comment that it's an interesting name. I don't love it, but it does kind of draw you in. I had to look up the pronunciation though, so I'm assuming you're pronouncing it kho-də-LEE-və. I think it's rather neat.
