HelpRe: Unusual or beautiful sightings from your family tree?
in reply to a message by (Is-rah-el) Israelle
From your list, I think Larisa, Ester, and Klara are beautiful girl names. I also think that Vyacheslav is such a handsome boy's name!
My grandmother is named Rivanna ("Rih-VANN-nuh"), and I've always that that it was a beautiful name; she was named after her own grandmother.
I also came across Janabelle, which I think is pretty and interesting.
Unusual sightings that I'm neutral about (first names and middle names):
Fogle (used repeatedly after the surname Fogle, which was Americanized from von Vogel)
Haynesworth / Haynsworth
Perdieau
Vermelle
Mellie
Loa
Willette
Missouri
Jones
Winburn
Lawton
Hiram
Michau
Saint Louis
Winborn

Rivanna sounds pretty badass, do you know where it comes from? Ravenna maybe? Rivka+Anna?
Yay, I'm glad someone else loves the name, haha. I'd totally name a daughter Rivanna after her, if I ever could. I'm not so sure where the name originally came from! I asked her, and she was unsure as well, lol. I can assume that it came from Rivka and Anna...my family is of Jewish decent, so it'd make sense.
Ooh that tracks, I love inventive names like that that stay classy ;)
