Re: Top 10 for March

Each month I wonder how to do this... top 10 I would actually maybe use for a child, with the current partner I have? Top 10 favorites of the moment, or attempt at favorites of all time? This month I’m choosing names that keep coming into my mind and making me happy — pure delight and richness in a name. I’m starving for consonants these days, apparently. Damaris and Prisca (and many others) also bring much delight... I could do 20 easily for feminine names. I’m in a real appreciative mood of late.

Adelheid
Angharad
Bláthnat
Mathilde
Remedios
Sonam
Tanaquil
Ursul *
Vashti
Verdandi

*The form my great-great aunt had, supposedly. Probably what would be considered a misspelling. I wonder if it was ‘supposed’ to be ‘Ursel’? Her full name was Loeta Ursul, sister was Ulrica. I love it as is, pronounced ‘ur-SOOL’.

Arkadios
Cárthach
Fiachra
Gyatso
Lir
Rosaire
Rune
Taliesin
Tihomir
Wolfgang

I try to balance names that make me happy and have been coming to mind recently with all-time favorites, but (as you saw) I've basically started making a top 30, anyway. It makes it easier to track my whims vs real favs that way...although sometimes names I've loved forever still don't even make top 30 just because I know I'll remember them.

I love:
Vashti
Verdandi
Mathilde (if French pronunciation)

I like:
Angharad
Remedios
Mathilde (if German pronunciation)
Sonam - I think? never heard it before
Ursul - I've seen Ursule before
Cárthach
Fiachra
Rune
Taliesin
Tihomir - never seen this before; it's neat
