Eglantine is so lovely and refined, though I can only see myself using this name for a book character. I love its meaning in French, wild rose. (I also love the Guardians of GaβHoole reference)

I read the Guardians of Ga'Hoole, and have loved this name ever since! I love how it is so cute for a little one and can still sound sophisticated for a adult. I'm definitely going to name a pet, if not a daughter, this.

Pretty, but a bit cumbersome and outdated these days, even by my standards. It would work well for the plucky heroine of a Gothic novel, though.
