I love Camelia, Daphne, Dahlia, Delphine, Emmeline, Penelope, Seraphine.

though wouldn't use them myself as 1st names for various reasons, mainly to do with me being boring. The rest are meh or awful! Hate Tabitha and Araminta in particular.

[justbeenforapromenade]

[bellissima]

Like Pearl (one of DD2's middle names). Also like Minna - (Swedish?). But NB - there is a body of opinion on the site that regards anything starting with 'min' or 'fan' as pertaining to rude bits.
