Two names on gravestones and a BA

I found a little burial ground this afternoon near where I live and saw two interesting names on gravestones: Zelmira - wife of Godfrey and the ultimate virtue name - Virtue Alice.

Thoughts? Zelmira seems is apparently an opera by Rossini. There is a user-submitted entry for it. Sounds exotic to me, I quite like it.

Also, two university friends of mine recently had a daughter named Blossom. The parents' names are Simon and Mia. Mia is Swedish and they are currently living in Sweden. It's not really my style (reminds me of a My Little Pony I had!) but it's a sweet name. I'm guessing it would be quite unusual in Sweden?

I like Zelmira and Blossom, and although Virtue does nothing for me, Virtue Alice is a lovely combination.

Also, Godfrey is smashing.

I love Godfrey and Virtue Alice! The latter is like the 'purest' name their is, lol.

I also like Simon a lot.

I like Zelmira too. :) Blossom is very unusual in Sweden, but there is a well-known singer (et cetera) called Blossom Tainton. It's sweet, but makes me think of her and the Powerpuff girls.

Zelmira is musical. I think I like it, too.

Virtue Alice sounds fine but I don't think I like Virtue as an actual name. Same with Blossom it has a nice name but it's very childish, I can't imagine it on a person.

Wow those are neat finds. Zelmira is really beautiful. and Virtue Alice is picture-perfect.

Blossom makes me feel like I am 12 again. Did anyone else watch that show? Some good names on it. Blossom, Six... ok that's all I can think of.

I thought you would like Virtue Alice. Seems very much like your kind of name!

I do remember that show too. Maybe my friends were big fans?!
