Gothic-Victorian Names for a OC
Hello! I was just wondering what people thought of these names, and if they fit the OC i have above.
I'm looking for a fancier, or old-fashioned name - gothic, victorian, that aesthetic.She's upper class but a spitfire, witty but very caring and warm. She looks very cute but is a secret badass - she's 4-foot-something of pure fight me. The name is given at birth by a dad who loves her very much but has to give her away at birth - something that haunts him, but he does it to try and keep her safe. I'm looking for a fancier, or old-fashioned name - gothic, victorian, that aesthetic. Cobbled streets, hidden revolvers, quills dripping black ink on rough paper, dark alleys filled with whispers. Think Kaz from six of crows, of RDJ's Sherlock Holmes.
First NamesLumina - sunshine - Romanian. Too odd in English?Elodia - riches; can't decide if I love or hate this one. I keep hearing 'Exodia' from Yugioh *facepalm* Carina / Carena - little darling; too close to 'Karen?'Aurelia - goldenSeraphina - fancy AF, and the meaning fits. Liora or Eliora- my light - sweet meaning, fits how he feels about her.Adélie - a noble one - also the name of an adorable penguin. I know Adelheide is more popular, but 'laid' means ugly in french - ouch.Danica - Danny, Dani - morning star (my friend said she looks 'angelic,' but is headstrong and stubborn - ergo, named after the one rebellious angel.)Cordelia - Dee, Delia - heart, literally just the fanciest name we could think of XDAlexandria / Alessandra - Andie, maybe Annie - Man's defender
Violette, Violetta, Viola, Viorica - purple flowers are her father's favorite, and she has purple tulips on her baby blanket - pretty much the only thing she has of him.
Carice - gentle, kindness
Vérène / Veréna - respect, power, truth
Any that stand out? Any you see and go 'dear god not that?' Any ideas you got with that gothic-victorian feel?
