Honestly, the names that would match the style historically are not the kinds of names you'd think would work. The Art Nouveau period was the era of names like:

---

Ethel
Bertha
Gertrude
Effie
Mamie
Gladys
Myrtle
Viola
Verna

---

Floyd
Stanley
Lawrence
Harold
Alfred
Raymond
Orville
Eugene
Ernest
Vernon
Clarence

---

Sorry if you hate that stuff, but it's true! Not exactly what is considered beautiful now. It's one of the things I love about the age of Art Nouveau though.

---

Here are some you might find pretty:

---

Lillian and Lillie and Lily were all huge around this time
Florence
Hazel
Alma
Rosa and Rose
Clara
Marie
Louise
Lucy
Josephine
Iris
Marguerite
Vera
Beatrice
Sylvia
Loretta

---

Edwin
Ambrose
Miles
Leo
Wesley
Oscar
Cecil
Calvin
Jasper
Nicholas
Frederick
Nathaniel
Glen

---

(a lot of these names are on the rise now!)

---

Or you could just go by vibes alone. These have a similar flowy spirit to me:

---

Calla
Isobel
Wisteria
Marian
Swanhild
Juliet
Loie
Everild
Corisande
Leocadia
Ivy
Lethe
Eleonora

---

Ossian
Asa
Kentigern
Julian
Theodore
Clifton
Byron
Edward
Leland
Ulysses
Laurence
Edmund
Felix
Gilbert
