Feyre and Clarissa and Ælfwynn
Are names on my mind right now.
Feyre - was created for YA literature (that I didn't even read) but I love the sound. Created from "fair" (for "beautiful"), pr. FAY-ra)
Clarissa - do you like this or Cassandra more?
Ælfwynn - Old English. I love the meaning and sound.

Feyre- cool for a character, cool meaning, but it’s not my style
Clarissa- not really a fan? It’s just a bit boring and reminds me of the girl from Percy Jackson. Cassandra is better because at least it sounds fancy.
Ælfwynn- I’d only name an elf this. I don’t think it’s good even by 12th century standards, there are much cooler names from that time.

I met a baby Feyre this week! Its the first time i've heard it, very cute. I also really like Ælfwynn, love names with a "win" sound.
Feyre - I like the fact that it's a name from literature, but I can't find the appeal of it... I much prefer Freya.
Clarissa is okay, a little frilly but not essentially over-the-top. I like Cassandra more, and if I had to choose a Clar-/Clair- name I'd choose Claire.
Ælfwynn... er... I guess? I mean, it's eye-catching and has a pleasant meaning, but it's not my cup of tea in terms of Anglo-Saxon names; I prefer simplified names like Godiva, Cerdic or Everild. Needless to say, it's unusable nowadays.
