Name M/F Remark Rating
Ziva f
Zinnia f
Zillah f
Zelde f
Zelda 2 f
Winifred f
Voirrey f
Vivienne f
Viatrix f
Vesta f
Vespera f
Veronica f  Lovely; feminine, but not too disgustingly frilly. It also holds some family-ties, which is wonderful. 
Velma f
Valora f
Tündér f
Tova 2 f
Toby f
Tinúviel f  Absolutely stunning! (when pronounced correctly.) 
Tegwen f  Such a magnificent middle name. I have used it as so on a character of mine. 
Tabassum f & m
Susana f
Susan 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. 
Simonetta f
Sieglinde f
Sibyl f
Shalev m & f
Serena f  It sounds ditzy... but pronounced the Italian way, I adore it. 
Ségolène f
Scarlet f  I would only ever feel it acceptable on a stern woman. 
Sauliā f
Saoirse f  Undeniably trendy, currently. Nonetheless, I find it somewhat endearing, in an odd way. 
Ryder m & f
Ruth 1 f
Runa f
Rosanna f  "Anna" as nickname. As darling and old-fashioned "Rose" is, I would not likely use it. 
Rosamund f
Rosalba f
Rohan 2 m & f
Rim f
Rilla 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. 
Raniya 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. 
Pierrette f
Pia f  Charming, even if it is minuscule. Perhaps a nickname? 
Pherenike f
Persephone f
Penelope f
Pallas 1 f
Ourania 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. 
Ori m & f
Ophélie f
Opaline f
Opal 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. 
Olimpia f
Ofelia f  'Oh-FEYH-Lyah,' is the proper pronunciation, it is. 
Noor 1 f & m
Nasrin f
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. 
Monet f & m
Mitrodora f
Miriam f
Minnie f  A charming, old-world-sounding nickname. I would certainly consider. 
Minerva f
Michelina f  "Mick" or "Micky" would be fantastic. "Lina" is a possibility. 
Metrodora f
Mélisande f
Maryam f
Maristela f  I'd likely spell it "Maristella" (two 'LL's). 
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. 
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. 
Marie f & m
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.) 
Margaret f
Margalit f
Maiara f
Maia 1 f
Maddalena f  "Lena," perhaps as a nickname? Never "Maddie," I beg of you. 
Lygia 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.) 
Lucienne f
Lourdes f
Louhi f
Lorelei f
Liliana f  Once again, Italian pronunciation: Lee-LYAH-Nah. 
Lidia f  Italian pronunciation, please! LEE-Dyah. 
Léopoldine f
Kreine f
Josephine f
Jewel f  What am I to say about my unusual liking of "Jewel"? It is tender, but woefully tawdry. 
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. 
Irune f
Igraine f
Idril f
Hestia f  If you look above at "Hester," my comments are valid here, too-- though "Hestia" comes in second, if they are compared. 
Hester f  "Hester" is a very wily, impish moniker. I can only love it. 
Hedwig f  Harry Potter associations aside (though there is nothing wrong with them)... "Hedwig" is a charming name, when pronounced correctly. 
Haruna 1 f
Harmonia f
Hanna 1 f  I would never use it. Strangely alluring, however-- particularly because I despise "Hannah" so strongly. 
Guinevere f  Enchanting-- though I'd never use it. 
Goldie 2 f
Gobnait f
Glenna f
Ginevra f  A true favorite. "Ginny" is darling. 
Gertrude f  "Gertrude" definitely deserves some love. The hate radiating from people regarding it is baffling to me. 
Gauri f
Galadriel f
Freya f
Freja f
Frederica f
Frea f
Frankie m & f  The nickname that I go by. 
Francesca f  My own name. I'm not too fond of it, to be honest. 
Franca f  As a nickname. I'd never use it, though... the "-ca" seems harsh in this context. 
Fiona f
Fidelma f
Fiammetta f
Faustine f
Eydís f
Evangeline 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. 
Etel f
Esmeralda f
Eseld f
Erzsébet f
Éowyn f  I have been commanded to love it from the Tolkien'ite within. 
Emese f
Elvire f
Elke 2 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. 
Eleftheria f
Elda f
Elanor f
Edna f  Spectacular. That is all that I have to say about "Edna." 
Edmée f
Daphne f
Cyrille m & f
Clodagh f
Cheyenne f
Chava f
Blanche f
Blair m & f  "Blair" is satisfactory, but "Blaire" is exceptional. It appeals more as a female name. 
Bernadette f
Berengaria f
Belphoebe f  Disgusting to the ear... yet beautiful when written. 
Beatrix f  A sophisticated little peach. 
Beatrice f  An ever delightful, classy name-- both in the English and Italian pronunciations. 
Bastet f
Astraea f
Ashtoreth f
Apollonia f
Apolena f
Angelica f  Only if pronounced Ahn-JEYH-Lee-Kah. 
Andromeda f  Andi or Ida would be a cute nickname. 
Anatolia f  Such enchantment! 
Anastasia f
Amity f
Adelheid f  Beautiful; the only form of "Adelaide" that I can remotely accept. 
Adah f
Abigail f
