Re: Perdita
Hmmm...my only Perdita association is the dalmation and it seems the "DEE" sound was stressed rather than the "PUR". I'll try getting accustomed to it with the stress on the first syllable and see which of these stand out...Perdita Beatrix - not usually a Beatrix fan, but this feels/sounds fitting; some spunk here
Perdita Blythe - happy to be lost?; enjoying the sound
Perdita Catherine - this actually feels kind of poetic to me; full disclosure for honest opinion purposes - it did occur to me that she'd have Catherine to fall back on if she wasn't thrilled with Perdita when she grew up
Perdita Cecile - don't like Cecile but she sounds well here; exotic; lost and blind is a bit much, though; I admit I would think a Perdita Cecile came from an upper crust family
Perdita Clare - the optimistic, friendly lost soul
Perdita Clothilde - lost but able to handle whatever's thrown at her; ditto upper crust
Perdita Delphine - if found, please return to Delphi; seriously, I'm enjoying the echo of the "d" sound and the flow of this
Perdita Diane - lost by the light of the moon; makes me think of "Moon Shadow"
Perdita Dorothy - how can I resist? She's geographically challenged, but happens to be in possession of some fabulously handy footwear! enjoying the echo "d" again; nice flow with the stress on the first syllable; this may be it.
Perdita Eloise - nice flow, adds elegance
Perdita Emmeline - ditto
Perdita Eugenie - of the royal family
Perdita Francine - ditto
Perdita Henriette - hope this doesn't offend you, but I just saw a lovely homing pigeon
Perdita Iris - home is somewhere over the rainbow
Perdita Jane - elegant simplicity
Perdita Lucy - likes to skip; light on her feet
Perdita Maxine - also of the royal family
Perdita Rosalie - enjoying sounds and flow here; a free spirit, methinks
Perdita Susan - sunshine and cheerfulness

Awesome combos, and so are the explainations that accompany them.

Oh, I can't take credit for the combos; I just listed the ones I liked best from Wordsmith's creations. The commentary was mine, however, so thanks on that account. :)
