Iva is pronounced EYE-va, not EE-va. I am torn between Iva and Iris.

Otho is a family name (my great-grandfather was William Otho, but called Otho). I love it but like a handful of names more so.

Though not something I would consider using, Junia and Livia make a delightfully ancient Roman set of sisters. I like those together.

I would consider Myra*, and Eloise.

I do like Elias, but I can't help but wonder what kind of man he would be -- it sounds a tad villainous to me, which is why I am hesitant to warm to it. Junis is very interesting.

Uh oh, here goes...

(Meanings given in italics. Current rank from England and Wales also provided (where rank is #0 the name is not currently in the top 500 for E&W.))

I've totally fallen out of love with the majority of my boys names, so overhauled that list completely and gone in a different direction...

Clark – “cleric / scribe” #355
Reuben – “behold, a son” #51
Parker – “keeper of the park” #181
Jasper – “treasurer” #107
Isaac – “laughter” #25
Jonah – “dove” #149
Arthur – “bear man/king” #41
Sidney – “wide island” #252
Cassidy – “descendant of CAISIDE" #0
Phoenix – “dark red” #331

Girls were a lot easier, they've barely changed!

Octavia – “eighth” #0
Sapphire – Hebrew gemstone name #326
Alice – “noble” #25
Willow – “willow tree” #51
Lexa – “defending men” #0
Eve – “to live” or “life” #159
Ivy – English climbing plant #54
Rose – “fame” and “type” or Latin flower name #62
Luna – “moon” #146
Melody – “song” and “to sing” #293

Thank you.

- Puck (BBH)

7/2/2016, 11:17 AM

Obviously I would use Jasper, Isaac, and Alice. Those are longtime favorites of mine. I would also consider Arthur, and Rose, though I prefer Rosa and Rosina above plain Rose, which is becoming blasé on this board.

Edith -- pref. Ethel

Eugene -- love
John -- love
Edmund -- love
Marcel -- pref. Marius, or Marcelline (f)

Very close to my own aesthetic, this list.

I would expect you to be someone who would like Doris. Doris has been popping into my head a lot lately as a contender for revival.

Then there is Myrna.
