HelpNames Inspired by Art Nouveau?
Do you know of the art style? It was an art and archetecture style from between 1883 – 1914. I love this art style, and I was wondering if anybody can think of any names that would suit the style?
Here's some example images, just the ones from the wikipedia page, really

"one particular boogie will move mirror massaging with stirring crepe mixture, positioning loaves while in the furnace then toting items in containers" ~ best Russian daing sites (guest, 198.144.149.xxx) (2020)

My family tree contains a twig, born in 1917 and therefore a bit late for Art Nouveau, but the names resonate with me: Eileen Vanda Florence! She married a man named Harold.
That's a nice combo she had, the Vanda adds an interesting twist
I love that combo!
Art Nouveau names tend to have an elegant, flowing, and slightly exotic feel, much like the movement itself, which was inspired by nature, mythology, and artistic flourishes. These names often have French, Celtic, or Romantic influences, reflecting the aesthetic of artists like Alphonse Mucha and Aubrey Beardsley. Names that fit the aesthetic IMHO:
Feminine:
Sylvaine – (French, nature-inspired, means "of the forest")
Ophélie – (French for Ophelia, Shakespearean and floral)
Isolde – (Arthurian romance, dramatic and ethereal)
Seraphine – (Angelic, delicate, and artistic)
Léontine – (Regal, lion-like strength with Belle Époque elegance)
Elodie – (Melodic and lyrical)
Eulalia – (Soft and musical, like a Mucha painting)
Aurélie – (Golden and luminous, very Art Nouveau)
Celestine – (Heavenly, mystical)
Vesperine – (Inspired by "evening," a dreamy name)
Melisande – (Medieval and romantic)
Giselle – (Graceful and evocative of ballet and art)
Coraline – (Jewel-like and ornamental)
Ondine – (Water nymph, fluid and mysterious)
Evadne – (Greek mythological, soft and flowing)
Théa – (Simple but artistic, from Theia, a Greek Titaness)
Lysandra – (Lush and floral, evokes lilies)
Violette – (Dainty and Art Nouveau in its botanical connection)
Masculine:

Honestly, the names that would match the style historically are not the kinds of names you'd think would work. The Art Nouveau period was the era of names like:
Ethel
Bertha
Gertrude
Effie
Mamie
Gladys
Myrtle
Viola
Verna
Floyd
Stanley
Lawrence
Harold
Alfred
Raymond
Orville
Eugene
Ernest
Vernon
Clarence
Sorry if you hate that stuff, but it's true! Not exactly what is considered beautiful now. It's one of the things I love about the age of Art Nouveau though.
Here are some you might find pretty:
Lillian and Lillie and Lily were all huge around this time
Florence
Hazel
Alma
Rosa and Rose
Clara
Marie
Louise
Lucy
Josephine
Iris
Marguerite
Vera
Beatrice
