[Opinions] Re: Eglantine, Ghislaine and Segolene
in reply to a message by Bear
Ségolène has been going through my head, too, since Mme Royal was elected president of France. I think it's a beautiful name and I'm greatly interested in the etymology of it.
Ghislaine is pretty in an underused kind of way. This name would definitely stand out in a crowd.
Eglantine is a name I just can't warm up to. I think it's because as a child, I loved the movie Bedknobs and Broomsticks and Angela Lansbury's character was named Eglantine (which has me stumped since I fangirl her. :/) David Tomlinson even sang a song in the movie called 'Eglantine' and I must say it was quite snappy.
As for combos, Mme Royal is Marie-Ségolène, but I also like:
Ségolène Juliette
Ségolène Ramona
Ségolène Marguerite
Ségolène Ophélie
Ségolène Christiane
Ségolène Henriette
Ségolène Mathilde
Ségolène Félicitée
Ségolène Isotta
Ségolène Mabel
Ségolène Gisèle
Ghislaine Bernadette
Ghislaine Yael
Ghislaine Cécile
Ghislaine Laure
Ghislaine Eos
Ghislaine Estella
Eglantine Gretel
Eglantine Yolande
Eglantine Thérèse
Eglantine Letizia
Eglantine Alessandra
Eglantine Harriet
Eglantine Lucille

Marie-Segolene is beyond chic. I don't even have a category for it.
Segolene Mathilde is wonderful, as are the other suggestions for little Seggie. [I heard that groan. Nns Seggie and Eggie (for Eglantine) should get me a child services referral, non? Nn Goosie (for Ghislaine) would really round out the pitiful trio nicely.]
I especially love:
Ghislaine Bernadette
Ghislaine Yael
Ghislaine Laure
Eglantine Yolande
Eglantine Letizia / Letitia
Eglantine Harriet
Thank you! Merci! Spacibo bol'shoye!
