Peronelle!
I love Peronelle, and Melchiore is also a favorite of mine. That's an awesome sibset.

Oh, what an interesting sibset! How far back does it come from?
Péronelle is pretty, unfortunately it is now a term referring to a silly young woman, so I could hardly see it used again. I had never seen Guyotte before. Hiéronimette is my favourite.

They were all born in the mid-1400s. That's really interesting about Péronelle - according to this site's database, the English version Parnel was also a negative term in the Middle Ages. Hiéronimette is indeed awesome - such a great find. :)

Ooo, those are quite pretty. Melchiore must be a feminine form of Melchior. Peronelle is really sweet. Guyotte looks like its a feminine version of Guy and Hieronimette a feminine form of Hieronymus. I really adore the latter.

Mmh, I think Melchiore is still masculine, it's probably just a spelling variant. But I agree about Hieronimette, it's great!

WOW.
Peronelle is definitely a favorite of mine, and Hieronimette and Melchiore? Amazing...though I'm not so sure I like Guyotte.
