Adah

Adelheid

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.

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

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

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

Rim
f
Rohan

f
Rosalba
f
Rosamund
f
Rosanna
f
"Anna" as nickname. As darling and old-fashioned "Rose" is, I would not likely use it.
Runa

Ruth

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
/

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

Tova

Tündér

Valora

Velma

Veronica

Lovely; feminine, but not too disgustingly frilly. It also holds some family-ties, which is wonderful.
