Francesca's Personal Name List

Name M/F Remark Rating
Abigail f
Adah f
Adelheid f  Beautiful; the only form of "Adelaide" that I can remotely accept. 
Amity f
Anastasia f
Anatolia f  Such enchantment! 
Andromeda f  Andi or Ida would be a cute nickname. 
Angelica f  Only if pronounced Ahn-JEYH-Lee-Kah. 
Apolena f
Apollonia f
Ashtoreth f
Astraea f
Bastet f
Beatrice f  An ever delightful, classy name-- both in the English and Italian pronunciations. 
Beatrix f  A sophisticated little peach. 
Belphoebe f  Disgusting to the ear... yet beautiful when written. 
Berengaria f
Bernadette f
Blair m & f  "Blair" is satisfactory, but "Blaire" is exceptional. It appeals more as a female name. 
Blanche f
Chava f
Cheyenne f
Clodagh f
Cyrille m & f
Daphne f
Edmée f
Edna f  Spectacular. That is all that I have to say about "Edna." 
Elanor f
Elda f
Eleftheria f
Elizabeth f  "Elizabeth" is a name that has stood the test of time, and has proved that it is not to be toyed with. Such strength and elegance. 
Elke 2 f
Elvire f
Emese f
Éowyn f  I have been commanded to love it from the Tolkien'ite within. 
Erzsébet f
Eseld f
Esmeralda f
Etel f
Ethel f  Very classy and sweet. Regrettably, it seems to have been attracting a large amount of attention recently. It is such an ordinary-looking name, but becomes breathtaking in time. 
Evangeline f
Eydís f
Faustine f
Fiammetta f
Fidelma f
Fiona f
Franca f  As a nickname. I'd never use it, though... the "-ca" seems harsh in this context. 
Francesca f  My own name. I'm not too fond of it, to be honest. 
Frankie m & f  The nickname that I go by. 
Frea f
Frederica f
Freja f
Freya f
Galadriel f
Gauri f
Gertrude f  "Gertrude" definitely deserves some love. The hate radiating from people regarding it is baffling to me. 
Ginevra f  A true favorite. "Ginny" is darling. 
Glenna f
Gobnait f
Goldie 2 f
Guinevere f  Enchanting-- though I'd never use it. 
Hanna 1 f  I would never use it. Strangely alluring, however-- particularly because I despise "Hannah" so strongly. 
Harmonia f
Haruna 1 f
Hedwig f  Harry Potter associations aside (though there is nothing wrong with them)... "Hedwig" is a charming name, when pronounced correctly. 
Hester f  "Hester" is a very wily, impish moniker. I can only love it. 
Hestia f  If you look above at "Hester," my comments are valid here, too-- though "Hestia" comes in second, if they are compared. 
Idril f
Igraine f
Irune f
Isla f  "Isla" is endearing, but too sweet for me. It is a pity that attention and popularity seem to be growing. I fear that it will become another "Ava" and wither away. 
Jewel f  What am I to say about my unusual liking of "Jewel"? It is tender, but woefully tawdry. 
Josephine f
Kreine f
Léopoldine f
Lidia f  Italian pronunciation, please! LEE-Dyah. 
Liliana f  Once again, Italian pronunciation: Lee-LYAH-Nah. 
Lorelei f
Louhi f
Lourdes f
Lucienne f
Lux m & f  Regardless of the fact that I would never use it... I cannot help but secretly relish it (particularly for a male.) 
Lygia f
Maddalena f  "Lena," perhaps as a nickname? Never "Maddie," I beg of you. 
Maia 1 f
Maiara f
Margalit f
Margaret f
Maria f  Very classic, very simple, very elegant... but not too frilly, which is marvelous. It also carries a family-tie. "Marie" is lovely, as well (perhaps even more-so.) 
Marie f & m
Marilyn m & f  "Marilyn" is one of the few names of combined origins that I actually am fond of. Having said that, I hold it to higher respect as male. 
Marina f  "Marina" is a name that I respect and am fond of. Unfortunately, I find that it (and "Serena") appears to be a bit unintelligent and 'ditzy' in English-speaking countries. 
Maristela f  I'd likely spell it "Maristella" (two 'LL's). 
Maryam f
Mélisande f
Metrodora f
Michelina f  "Mick" or "Micky" would be fantastic. "Lina" is a possibility. 
Minerva f
Minnie f  A charming, old-world-sounding nickname. I would certainly consider. 
Miriam f
Mitrodora f
Monet f & m
Myrtle f  Part of me wishes that people looked upon "Myrtle" in a better light; part of me is thankful that it remains obscure and glowing. 
Nasrin f
Noor 1 f & m
Ofelia f  'Oh-FEYH-Lyah,' is the proper pronunciation, it is. 
Olimpia f
Olivera f  I cannot begin to explain how much I prefer "Olivera" over "Olivia." "Olivia" is grostesquely unpleasent, in my opinion. "Olivera" is a bombshell. 
Opal f
Opaline f
Ophélie f
Ori m & f
Oriana f  Despite the number of details that summons me to it... never would I commit to using "Oriana" in this day and age; it appears self-created/made-up, and trendy/fad. 
Ourania f
Pallas 1 f
Penelope f
Persephone f
Pherenike f
Pia f  Charming, even if it is minuscule. Perhaps a nickname? 
Pierrette f
Priscilla f  Such a name is already a toe over the frilly-line. We best not finish the crossing with one of the abominable diminutives. No nicknames. 
Raniya f
Reagan m & f  There is positively no chance of myself ever placing "Reagan" to use... but it's nice. Ronald Reagan was a wonderful president. 
Rilla f
Rim f
Rohan 2 m & f
Rosalba f
Rosamund f
Rosanna f  "Anna" as nickname. As darling and old-fashioned "Rose" is, I would not likely use it. 
Runa f
Ruth 1 f
Ryder m & f
Saoirse f  Undeniably trendy, currently. Nonetheless, I find it somewhat endearing, in an odd way. 
Sauliā f
Scarlet f  I would only ever feel it acceptable on a stern woman. 
Ségolène f
Serena f  It sounds ditzy... but pronounced the Italian way, I adore it. 
Shalev m & f
Sibyl f
Sieglinde f
Simonetta f
Skylar f  Not in a million years would you ever witness me using this. Even so, admittedly, there is a strange ugly/beautiful magnetism that is fighting in my mind. 
Susan f
Susana f
Tabassum f & m
Tegwen f  Such a magnificent middle name. I have used it as so on a character of mine. 
Tinúviel f  Absolutely stunning! (when pronounced correctly.) 
Toby f
Tova 2 f
Tündér f
Valora f
Velma f
Veronica f  Lovely; feminine, but not too disgustingly frilly. It also holds some family-ties, which is wonderful. 
Vespera f
Vesta f
Viatrix f
Vivienne f
Voirrey f
Winifred f
Zelda 2 f
Zelde f
Zillah f
Zinnia f
Ziva f
