HelpRe: Girl Names that DON'T end in 'A'
in reply to a message by Gywin
I feel like Odette might be a good choice. Similar to Odessa, strong literary/arts roots like Cordelia, and Liora Odette looks very pretty and lyrical.
Gertrud IS old fashioned, but middle names rarely get used and I think people are usually very encouraging once they find out a "grandma" middle name is indeed an actual grandma middle name. A friend of mine has the middle name Elfrieda after a great-grandma, and our classmates always thought it was cool once they heard the story. But if Gertrud isn't quite your style, maybe naming a similar meaning might be nice? Gertrude has "strength" in its meaning, as does the name Valentine. Liora Valentine is gorgeous.
