Dd1 has nickname Pixie (not related to actual name but she is very pixie like) and dd2 is likely to be very fair. We are looking for an ethereal/fairy type name (not too “out there” but unusual/maybe vintage style) that conjures up images of nature, Celtic folklore (Irish surname so open to Irish or possibly welsh suggestions) magical forests, nymphs, or maybe an underused flower name. We have Scandinavian heritage so a Scandinavian/Nordic folklore name could be good. We want it to be like a Disney princess/lord of the rings style name, but an actual name not made up/obviously named after a character. This is what we have so far:
Althea
Dorothea
Gwyneth, Gwendolyn
Arwen, Ariel (similar sound to these but real name suggestions?)
Fae, Faith, Effie
Tatiana/Titania/Tiana
Flora or Frida
Lilith/Lilian
Felicity
Sylvie
Elif (we have no Turkish background)
Elinor or Elin
Elodie, Melodie, Eilidh, Elsa, Elspeth/Elsbeth
Laurel (suggestions for similar real name?)
Morwen, Marion, Miriam, Merida, Mara, Mabel
Katja
Any other suggestions/feedback?
